Measure Rack Space

rack units (RUs) required.
System components must be installed in the rack in the following sequence, beginning at the bottom of
the rack or cabinet (see Figure 5-35):
1. AC power supply tray with power supply modules (optional)
Note If a second AC power supply tray is used (optional), install it just above the first AC power
supply tray and below the air intake plenum.
2. Air intake plenum
3. Lower fan tray
4. MGX 8950 switch (with optional door)
5. Upper fan tray
6. Exhaust plenum
