Deep 1U cases in shallow racks
I have a generic rack that has about 22.5" (57 cm) of depth from the
front vertical mounting rail to the rear vertical mounting rail. I am
getting ready to buy some TYAN GX28 B2882 barebones systems, which are
26.5" (67.5 cm) deep. I am wondering if this will present a problem.
The rack has removable door/back/sides and will be located somewhere
sufficiently secure that I am not concerned about the people that have
physical access to the equipment. Will the difference in depth of the
system to depth of the rack cause me a problem? I know that the TYAN
barebones systems ship with generic mounting rails, so I was thinking
that as long as the server's rails can be adjusted to a shorter length,
it won't matter that the rear of the unit slightly extends past the back
of the rack.
Can anyone confirm if they have one of these systems (or a similarly
deep system) in a shallow rack and if this causes any problems?
