Guideline
Sort all components by weight, placing the heaviest components at the bottom of
the rack.
Mount the switchbox either behind the keyboard or within a sidewall cavity to
provide a zero-U space solution.
When using any size rack, install the keyboard/integrated keyboard monitor at
a level that is in the correct ergonomic position where your shoulders and neck
are relaxed.
Ergonomic considerations should drive the placement of a monitor in the rack,
whether it is a CRT or Flat-panel design. It is recommended to arrange the screen
or rack-mountable flat panel monitor, a minimum of 4U's above the keyboard
tray. Most customers prefer placement of the video system high in the rack,
especially in a full rack, to allow easier access to serviceability of other system
components below it. If you are using a 22U rack, place the monitor on top of
the rack frame.
When baying racks to create a row, be sure to distribute the weight load among
the racks and place the heaviest components at the bottom of each rack. For
example, if you have several UPS units and several servers, do not put all of the
UPS units into one rack—distribute the weight evenly in the bottom positions of
each rack.
