Sun Microsystems 816-7727-10 manual Table A-44-Post Cabinet Requirements

4-Post Cabinet Requirements

The server is designed so that you can install it into a 72-inch (184-cm) tall Sun StorEdge Expansion cabinet or other EIA-compliant industry-standard cabinet that meets the requirements listed in the following table. You need a Sun rackmounting kit for each server that you rackmount.

Note – The server is fully serviceable in a 4-post cabinet when it is extended on its slide assemblies.

TABLE A-44-Post Cabinet Requirements

Cabinet Feature	Requirement
Load-bearing capacity	The rack must firmly support the weight of as many Sun
	Fire V440 servers installed in the cabinet (each server
	weighs up to 82 lb/37.2 kg), plus the weight of the
	rackmounting hardware, and the weight of any other
	installed devices.
Vertical space requirements	Each server requires four rack units (7.0 inch/17.78 cm)
	of vertical space for rack installation. A 72-inch (184-cm)
	Sun cabinet ships with a power sequencer so it can
	nominally hold up to eight servers (with a power
	sequencer there are 36 rack units of usable space).
	However, because of electrical power issues, the actual
	maximum of systems per rack is six.
Doors and panels	If you are using a Sun StorEdge Expansion Cabinet, you can
	remove the front and back doors and the side panels to
	increase access to the server. Otherwise, see the instructions
	provided with the cabinet.
Anti-tip protection	The cabinet must be bolted securely to the floor or equipped
	with two sturdy and extendable anti-tip legs. You must
	prevent the cabinet from tilting forward when one or more
	servers or devices are fully extended out the front of the
	cabinet.
