2.4.2 Installation area for a general rack
Service areas
Service area requirements vary depending on the rack used.
When using an expansion rack, see "2.4.4 Installation area for an expansion rack."
When mounting each chassis in the designated rack, see the examples of service areas in Figure 2-5 and Figure 2-6. The rack width depends on the rack used.
When using a rack other than the designated rack, see the manual for the rack used.

*1 To mount a chassis on the rack, an area with a depth of 1,200 mm (47.2 in.) is required in front of the rack, and areas with a width of 600 mm (23.6 in.) are required on both the left and right sides of the front service area. If there is a possibility that a chassis will be added later, secure an area with a depth of 1,200 mm (47.2 in.) in front of the rack and areas with a width of 600 mm (23.6 in.) on both the left and right sides of the front service area.
