Cantilever Design
The Compaq Telco Rack Option Kit rack rails support the server, distributing the load in the front
1 and to the rear 2. This balanced cantilever design balances the installation much better than a
full cantilever design. The balanced cantilever installation is robust, without blocking access to
other front panel mount equipment in the rack.

WARNING: The center of gravity of fully configured Compaq ProLiant DL320 and ProLiant
DL360 servers installed using the Compaq Telco Rack Option Kit is slightly behind the telco
rails. The telco rack must be fully secured to adequate support structures for deployments of ultra-
dense 1U Compaq ProLiant DL360 servers.
