Marking The Rack - Dell PowerEdge 6850 Installationshandbuch

Marking the Rack

You must allow 4 U (7 inches) of vertical space for each system you install
in the rack (see Figure 1-3).
NOTE:
Your rack may already be marked and not require this procedure.
Figure 1-3. One Rack Unit
1 U (44 mm or 1.75 inches)
CAUTION:
If you are installing more than one system, install the slide assemblies
so that the first system is installed in the lowest available position in the rack.
To mark the rack, perform the following steps:
1 Place a mark on the rack's front vertical rails where you want to locate
the bottom of the system you are installing in the rack cabinet.
The bottom of each 1-U space is at the middle of the narrowest metal
area between holes (marked with a horizontal line on some rack cabinets—
see Figure 1-4).
