[Sunhelp] A1000 Rackmount kit

[Brian Canada]

The rack kits that come with the A1000s & D1000s are for the 72" Sun cabinets, not your average datacenter cabinet.

Joe,

I've mounted E220R's and A1000 in the same 72" Sun Enterprise server rack.
We didn't have to adjust anything on the rack, just the slight adjustments on
the mounting
brackets made it fit.  And I didn't notice any diff. in sizes between  E420R's
and E220R's.
Maybe you ordered the wrong mounting kit? or the wrong ent. rack?

Cheers.
