Space Requirements
The following spatial needs should be considered when deciding where to install
your rack:

the front door to open all the way and for adequate airflow.
Clearance in the back of the rack should be a minimum of 30 inches to
allow for servicing and for adequate airflow.

damage to the equipment, do not overload the AC supply branch
circuit that provides power to the rack. Consult the electrical
authority having jurisdiction over your facility wiring and

The power load needs to be balanced between available AC supply
branch circuits.
The overall system AC current load must not exceed 80 percent of the
branch circuit AC current rating.
If power strips are used, the load should not exceed 80 percent of the
