The placement of components in a cabinet follows these conventions:
- Load chassis, in sequence, from the bottom up.
- Load all chassis, except the top switches, from the front of the cabinet. They are accessible from both front and rear. The top switches are loaded and accessible only from the rear of the cabinet.
- Each chassis has a standard position in the cabinet, and is numbered from the bottom up.
- Chassis that are managed over the Server Management network have assigned chassis ID numbers. The chassis ID number identifies the chassis by position/type in the management interface.
- Unmanaged chassis are numbered by position for cabling purposes only. The numbers do not appear in the Server Management interface as identification of the chassis.
- AC feeder boxes and PDUs are mounted to the sidewalls in the rear of the cabinet.
