Mounting in the rear 19-inch area
5.3 Mounting in the rear 19-inch area
You can mount additional rack components in the rear 19-inch area if:
– the front area is not occupied with rack components
– the rack components mounted in the front area leave enough space for
additional components to be mounted at the rear (in the rear area)
– the rack components in the rear do not hinder the cooling air stream for the
components in the front area.
I Be aware that the temperature level in the rear is much higher than at
the front.
Figure 13: Example of how to mount a rack component in the 19-inch area at the back
Ê Mount the rack component using the support uprights (1).
Only for asymmetrical PRIMECENTER M1 19-inch racks:
An appropriate support bracket is required for mounting rack components on the
left-hand side. If you cannot use an existing bracket, you will have to mount a
new support bracket at the appropriate position.
Ê Mount a support bracket with the appropriate load capacity (2) (see
page 39).
Ê Use the support upright (1) for mounting rack components on the right-hand
side (frontside view).
V CAUTION!
Please pay heed to the ventilation concept. The cooling of the built-in
rack components must be ensured.
