Figure 3: Cantilever specifications for the Compaq ProLiant DL360 server Telco Rack Option Kit
The Compaq Telco Rack Option Kit rack rails support the server, distributing the load. This
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 a fully configured Compaq ProLiant DL360 server
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.
