Removing The Rack Doors; Marking The Rack - Dell PowerVault MD1000 Guia De Instalacion

Removing the Rack Doors

See the procedures for removing doors in the documentation provided with your rack cabinet.
CAUTION:
Because of the size and weight of the rack cabinet doors, never attempt to remove or install them
by yourself.
CAUTION:
Store the doors where they will not injure someone if the doors accidently fall over.

Marking the Rack

For a 3-U system, you must allow 3 U (132 mm, or 5.25 inches) of vertical space for each system
you install in the rack.
Rack cabinets that meet EIA-310 standards have an alternating pattern of three holes per rack unit with
center-to-center hole spacing (beginning at the top hole of a 1-U space) of 15.9 mm, 15.9 mm, and
12.7 mm (0.625 inch, 0.625 inch, and 0.5 inch) for the front and back vertical rails (see Figure 1-3).
Rack cabinets may have round or square holes.
NOTE:
The vertical rails may be marked by horizontal lines and numbers in 1-U increments. If you want, you can
make a note of the number marking on the rack's vertical rail. It is not necessary to mark or place tape on the rack.

1 U (44 mm or 1.75 inches)
CAUTION:
If you are installing more than one system, install the mounting rails so that the first system
is installed in the lowest available position in the rack.
