Preparing the Rack for Component Installation Multiple Racks Increasing space and stability, 10000 Series racks can be bayed together by installing the Rack Option Baying Kit or the Rack Option Offset Baying Kit, depending on the series, height, and depth. • Rack Option Baying Kit-Joins multiple racks of the same series, height, and depth. • Rack Option Offset Baying Kit-Joins multiple racks of different series with the same height but different depths. Observe the following tips when using multiple-rack configurations: • Stabilizing feet are optional with bayed racks. • Modified feet should be used with bayed racks. • The number of baying kits needed is one less than the total number of racks. • Position and install either baying option kit before populating the racks with components. • Racks from different series can be bayed together as long as they are the same height. Server/Storage vs. Switching Configurations The 10000 Series rack offers interchangeable front and rear doors that allow the rack to be used in server/storage or switching applications. The 10842 rack arrives in a server/storage configuration with internal mounting rails that are front-justified, providing the customer greater room in the rear of the rack for cable management. 3-10 HP 10000 Series Rack Reference Guide
