Introduction and highlights  
 
Rack systems are based on the EIA-310-D 19-inch standard, according to which rack 
cabinets, servers and other components, such as UPSs, hubs, routers, modems and 
operating consoles, are manufactured. The term “standard” suggests a specification 
and definition of all prevalent dimensions and construction requirements relating to 
the mechanics and electrical equipment of these rack systems. In fact, only a few 
dimensions and weights are truly specified in this quasi-standard: various 
specifications can be interpreted too broadly, there is also a lack of tolerances in 
some cases, and many a dimension is not even included in the 19-inch “standard”.  
 
 
The problems and incompatibilities in the installation dimensions of competitor 
products and components from third-party vendors have always been taken into account in PRIMERGY rack systems. The 
PRIMECENTER rack family at the latest provides a universal and variable rack system which can accommodate most of the 19-
inch components on the market without problems. Unfortunately, there will always be cases where the inaccuracy of the 19-inch 
standard causes problems, in particular when products from different manufacturers are to be combined. 
 
This document is designed to facilitate the integration of PRIMERGY systems in third-party racks and the installation of third-
party systems into racks from Fujitsu Siemens Computers by showing the installation requirements and the dimensions.
