SECTION 15. RACK INFORMATION
A. Overview / Description
Rack installation components such as rails are provided with the PowerEdge R610 Rack Kit. The rack
installation components are as follows: sliding rack mount with latest generation Cable Management
Arm (CMA). The PowerEdge R610 will feature slam latches to oer easier removal from the rack. When
the system is installed in a rack, please observe the following guidelines:
Nothing should be located within 12” of the front of the unit that would restrict the airflow into the
system.
Nothing should be mounted or placed behind the chassis that would restrict airflow from exiting the
system.OnlyDell-approvedCMAscanbeplacedbehindthechassis.Allotherobjectsshouldbelocated
at least 24” away from the rear of the chassis.
When two systems are placed back to back, the separation between the units should be at least 24” if
the exit airflow is equivalent for the two chassis. This will allow the exit air to escape without creating an
extreme back pressure at the rear of one of the chassis.
