IBM NetBAY Rack: Planning Guide
Defining rack cabinet physical dimensions and clearances
The NetBAY25 Rack, NetBAY42 Rack, and NetBAY42 Enterprise Rack cabinets are
Electronic Industries Association (EIA) standard rack cabinets. See Table 1 for the
dimensions and weights for the rack cabinets.
Note:
The dimensions and weights shown are for the primary rack cabinets.
Expansion rack cabinets have the same physical dimensions but weigh less
because they do not have side panels.
A rack cabinet requires a minimal operational clearance on all sides to ensure proper
ventilation and access to open the front and rear doors. An extended service
clearance provides easier access to the rack cabinet so that you can install and
service optional devices. See Figure 6 and Figure 7 on page 9 for rack cabinet
service clearances. See Figure 8 on page 10 and Figure 9 on page 10 for rack
cabinet operational clearances.
