2.4.1 Mounting Conditions for General Racks


2.4.1 Mounting Conditions for General Racks
1BB configuration/4BB configuration with direct connections between chassis
The SPARC M12-2S and the PCI expansion unit are designed to be mounted in a 19 inch rack.
If the SPARC M12-2S units are connected by crossbar cables, mount the units side by side in a rack with no gap between them.
Figure 2-2  Chassis Mounting Locations (Corresponding to BB-IDs) for the 4BB Configuration
Figure 2-2 Chassis Mounting Locations (Corresponding to BB-IDs) for the 4BB Configuration
Note - Since, during SPARC M12-2S maintenance, the cable support at the rear of the chassis moves underneath the chassis, do not mount anything on the lowest shelf (1U) of the rack.
For mounting in a third-party rack, it is the customer's responsibility to confirm that the rack specifications match the specifications and requirements for the SPARC M12-2S (see Figure 2-3 and Table 2-3).

Note - The dimensions shown in the conditions do not include any protrusions.

Strength Rack has necessary strength/load capacity for mounting chassis
--
Grounding Rack and units can be grounded
--
Toppling prevention measures Rack can be prevented from toppling over
--
Earthquake resistance measures Earthquake resistance measures can be implemented for rack
--
*1 If the SPARC M12-2S or PCI expansion unit has square holes with sides of length 9.0 mm (0.35 in.) to 9.2 mm (0.36 in.), a separate rack mount kit must be ordered.
  1. Mounting on the lowest shelf of the rack
    For the SPARC M12-2S, the cable support at the rear of the chassis can move underneath the chassis during maintenance, so do not mount anything on the lowest shelf (1U) of the rack. (See Figure 2-2)
  2. Relocation
    Depending on the customer's situation, if the SPARC M12-2S is mounted and used in a general rack, remove every SPARC M12-2S from the rack at the following time. Remove all of them when relocating the rack within the room or building or to another building, or when changing the system configuration and changing the installation location due to expansion or reduction.
    After moving and securing the general rack to the new location, mount each SPARC M12-2S.
  3. Other conditions
    In addition to structural conditions, the following condition must be taken into consideration.
    - Install the rack while taking into consideration the cooling inside the chassis so that the temperature of the products mounted in the rack meets the temperature conditions. For details, see "2.5 Checking Environmental Conditions." Particularly, make sure that exhaust from the chassis does not re-enter the chassis through the air intakes. This requires measures such as covering the front and rear of empty spaces inside the rack.
