Note
For the ANSI 19-inch rack, the minimum front opening must be 17.72 inches (450 mm) to allow for
chassis insertion.
If you are installing a single chassis in a rack, the chassis must go in the middle or bottom portion of the
rack or follow your company chassis mounting practices.
At the bottom of the rack, keep 1 rack unit free to allow for removal of the bottom fan tray.
Note
To bolt the rack to the floor, a floor bolt kit (also called an anchor embedment kit) is required. For
information on bolting the rack to the floor, consult a company that specializes in floor mounting kits
(such as Hilti; see Hilti.com for details). Make sure that floor mounting bolts are accessible, especially
if annual re-torquing of bolts is required.
