Stacking Components
Keep in mind the following considerations while stacking components in a
rack:
■ Put the UPSs in the bottom of the rack.
■ Assemble other components into the rack from the bottom up.
■ Put the heaviest equipment per U of height in the bottom of the rack
whenever possible.
■ Install non-flat-panel monitors toward the top of the rack.
■ Install components that require better cooling capacity toward the top of
the rack.
■ Purchase the rack stabilizer feet option when offered.
The typical stacking order has the UPSs at the bottom and progresses upward
according to the following list:
■ UPS
■ Storage subsystems
■ Node 1 and node 2
■ Keyboard/mouse/monitor switch
■ Monitor and expansion nodes
CAUTION: Load the racks from the bottom up to avoid tipping the rack.
