NOTE: For safe and efficient maintenance operations, clearance (c) should
be made as large as possible. Actual clearances for installation should be
determined after consulting with the site/facilities manager, as the
clearances can vary, depending on building conditions.

Customer-Supplied Rack

This section lists the physical specifications and requirements for installing
the Universal Storage Platform VM in a customer-supplied rack.

Rack Dimensions

• Height: 1900–2000 mm
• Width: 600–610 mm
• Depth: Minimum of 1000 mm

Minimum U Height

The minimum height is 36U.
While your initial system configuration may not require 36U, this amount of
space is required for a full configuration. Initially allocating this amount of
space minimizes the time required to reposition equipment in the future.
