•Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) (lowest rack position)
•First PowerEdge system
•Keyboard tray and network switch mounted behind the keyboard tray
•Apex Outlook switch box
•Second PowerEdge system
•First PowerEdge SDS 100 storage system
•Optional second SDS 100 storage system (highest rack position)
Figure B-3 illustrates the Dell-supported rack configura- tion. For instructions on installing the individual components of the PowerEdge Cluster in a Dell rack, refer to the Dell PowerEdge Rack-Mountable Solutions Installation Guide.
