IBM NetBAY Rack: Planning Guide
Defining rack cabinet optional device limitations
As you prepare for the installation of the rack cabinet, be aware of the physical
limitations of the rack cabinet. This is especially important if you plan to install non-
IBM equipment in the rack cabinet.
Attention:
The weight of devices that you install on the four corner posts of the rack
cabinet must not exceed 16 kg (35 lb) per U level; cantilevered devices must not
exceed 5 kg (11 lb) per U level.
The rack cabinet has been tested under certain conditions for stability and safety.
Ensure that the rack cabinet and optional devices you install meet these
requirements:
