Configuration Factors Component Placement The following rules apply to the physical placement of components in the rack: • Weight-Sort all components by weight, placing the heaviest components at the bottom of the rack. • Server Console Switch-Position the switch box on the side of the rack above the keyboard, or mount it behind the keyboard. • CRT Monitor-Position the monitor topmost within the rack. • Rack-Mountable Flat Panel Monitor-Select a position to accommodate the desired viewing height (a minimum of 4Us above the keyboard tray). • Balance-Be sure to balance the weight load between racks and place the heaviest components at the bottom of the rack. For example, if you have several UPS units and several servers, do not put all of the UPS units into one rack- distribute them evenly in the bottom positions of each rack. Additional Considerations The following are additional items to consider, based on your specific rack configuration: • Power-If a UPS is installed, do not exceed its output rating. Be sure to review the installation instructions provided with each component for important cautions and warnings. • PDUs-Install PDUs before installing other components. • Height-The height of the rack and of rack-mountable components is measured in U increments. When you are configuring your rack installation, remember that the total U measurement of the components you want to install cannot exceed the stated U height of the rack. • Keyboard-The rack keyboard requires installation of a 1U Keyboard Drawer Rack Option Kit. • Monitor-The monitor requires installation of a Monitor/Utility Shelf Rack Option Kit unless you are using a rack-mountable flat panel monitor.
