E5500 re-racking

2007-12-24 23:03:00

I am re-posting the question below just to make sure that I get the
maximum number of responses. I posted it late last Friday, so I'm not
sure it received as much exposure as it will today. Thank you to those
that have responded. I will send out a summary soon.

Here's the question:

We are preparing to move our E5500 to a collocation facility. We
would like to remove the 5500 from its Sun rack and place it in the
standard 19-inch racks that are provided at the collocation site (we
will save a lot of money if we go this route rather than placing the
5500 intact in a cage). Can we remove the 5500 from its Sun rack? I
see no reason why not. It seems that we could remove the computer from
the Sun cabinet, get a rack-mount kit for an E4500, get air baffles, and
re-rack the unit in a rack at the collo-site. However, I'd like to have
the expert opinions of those on this list. Please let me know if this
is possible, and please relay any potential issues I should be aware of.
Thank you for your help.
