Determining rack locations
The appliance and the storage shelves are both two rack units (2RU) high. To help you identify RU spacing, many rack manufacturers typically use a system of lines and sequential numbers starting at the bottom of the rack. The front and the rear of the rack are marked the same to ensure that the rails are installed straight and level. One RU has three holes. The holes for one RU are typically marked with a line below the bottom hole and another line above the top hole.
Use the rack templates to determine the mounting locations for all devices.
To determine rack locations for the hardware
- Determine the total number of rack units (RUs) that you need as follows:
The appliance and the storage shelves each require 2 RUs of height in the rack.
An appliance and six storage shelves require a total of 14 RUs.
- Use the rack templates that are provided with the hardware to determine RU locations. The appliance and the storage shelf templates show the front and rear of each device in a rack.
- Record the rack positions to help you locate them easily when mounting the hardware.
