temperature range of 32 to 95
°F (0 to 35° C).
The rack must be of the following type:
• Standard 19-inch (48.3-cm) wide, four-post EIA rack, with mounting posts that conform to English
universal hole spacing per section 1 of ANSI/EIA-310-D-1992.

Tip The Cisco R-Series racks and RP-Series PDUs have been designed for optimum performance with Cisco
products and are available from Cisco.
Required Equipment
The slide rails supplied by Cisco Systems do not require any tools for installation, but you might want
to use a tape measure and level to help level the slide rails during installation.
