greater than or equal to 3 meter in length. The maximum ambient operating temperature when using
only copper cable is 35C, which includes all Ethernet and InfiniBand cables less than 3 meter in length.
Dimensions and weight requirements for rack installation
Ensure that space is available in a standard 19-in. rack that is capable of supporting the enclosure. The
rack rail kit supports racks with threaded round and square rail mounting holes. The following table lists
the dimensions and weights of the enclosures:

Important: To avoid potential equipment damage during transport and subsequent loss of data, see
Procedure: Transporting a 5U 92-drive expansion enclosure. The procedure describes what to do for the
following situations:
• When you are powering off an 5U expansion enclosure because you intend to transport it to another
location.
• When you intend to move a rack that contains an 5U expansion enclosure.
The procedure describes how to remove each drive from the 5U enclosure and transport the enclosure.
Removing the drives prevents damage to the drives and makes the lighter enclosure easier to move.
The following table shows the rack space requirements for a Model 092 expansion enclosure:

Maximum rail depth
670 mm (26.38 in.)
870 mm (34.25 in.)
Service clearance for Model 092 expansion enclosure
The service clearance area is the area around the rack which is needed for the authorized service
representatives to service the enclosure as shown in the sample illustration in Figure 6 on page 30.
