Introduction

The system rack is an attractive enclosure designed to store and protect your server components. The system rack allows you to integrate your server, monitor, and other components in one cabinet that may be installed in a limited amount of floor space in just about any location. Removable side walls and front and rear doors ensure easy access to all installed components, while a special locking system prevents unauthorized access.

System Rack Models

The system rack is available in three models: 42U, 36U and 27U. The only difference in the three models is the height of the rack. The size of each system rack is as follows:

!Model 42U – 2000mm (78.7in) H x 600mm (23.6in) W x 1000m (39.4in) D.

!Model 36U – 1800mm (70.9in) H x 600mm (23.6in) W x 1000m (39.4in) D.

!Model 27U – 1400mm (55.1in) H x 600mm (23.6in) W x 1000m (39.4in) D.

This guide contains the information necessary to install the 42U System Rack. The installation process for the 36U and 27U is similar to the 42U model.
