3.1 Chassis, Rails and Top Cover
3.1.1 Chassis
The Server Platform SR6850HW4 utilizes a standard 19-inch EIA chassis that is 6U high x 28
inches deep. The chassis can be rack-mounted or used as a pedestal system. Rack mounting
the platform requires a 6U x 19 inches x 34 inches deep space, with the extra six inches
required for cable management. When used in a rack, the chassis can be mounted with an
optional rail kit and cable management arm. Pedestal operation requires a pedestal conversion
kit that consists of a different bezel, floor supports/wheels and a cosmetic cover.
The 6U height is defined by standard EIA rack units where 1U = 1.75-inches. The 28-inch depth
is measured from the front mounting flange to the back of the PCI slots. This measurement
does not include cables or the bezel.
