10.1. HP Racks

HP racks provide a common, integrated platform for mounting all enterprise hardware, including servers, workstations, networking, and storage products. All HP rack-mountable products are designed to fit industry- standard 19-inch-wide racks.

HP industrial-strength racks feature a universal design that accommodates all HP equipment, including ProLiant severs, AlphaServer systems, StorageWorks, UPSs, and PDUs, in addition to select third-party equipment.

HP racks have perforated front and back doors with solid side panels. This construction ensures environmental integrity by allowing for high airflow and cooling.

In addition, a variety of options are available to customize ProLiant racks to suit the business requirements of most customer environments.
