Data centers with two-foot spaces in the front and in the back of the appliances are acceptable with proper cooling and ventilation
There must be a minimum depth of 76 cm (30 in.) between the front of the rack and the rear of the rack.
The compute node rails are extensible to 820mm (32in). The minimum distance or depth allowed between the rack posts is 623mm (24.6"). The maximum distance or depth allowed between the rack posts is 942mm (37").
Storage shelves should be installed lower in the rack than the appliance.
