Using the Short Rear Brackets
The Sun Fire V890 server rackmounting kit for EIA-compliant racks contains two
short rear brackets. These rear brackets are used to install the Sun Fire V890 server
into a 31.5-inch (80-cm) depth (rail-to-rail) rack. The short rear brackets are in a bag
labeled 560-2682-01 in the rackmounting kit.
The following illustration shows the additional short rear brackets.
