You can attach an optional VT-100 console or equivalent to the AN/DC to monitor
the results of startup diagnostics and perform manual boot configurations; or you
can attach any AT-compatible modem to allow remote dial-in access to diagnostics
and configuration.

following specifications:
Heavy-duty steel construction
Electronic Industries Association (EIA) standard hole-spacing
Width of 19 in. (48.26 cm) and depth of 24 in. (60.96 cm)
If the rack’s rails do not have threaded holes, you must supply cagenuts to use
with the cagenut screws (see Figure 1-4
