The
2U
library
and
the
4U
library
are
easily
installed
into
a
standard
19-inch
rack
system.
A
standard
19-inch
rack
system
contains
multiple
mounting
locations
called
EIA
units
as
defined
by
the
Electronics
Industries
Association.
Each
EIA
unit
contains
three
square
or
round
holes
used
to
mount
rack
designed
equipment.
These
units
are
often
referred
to
as
″U″s,
thus
the
2U
library
requires
2
EIA
units
(or
6
holes)
of
space;
the
4U
library
takes
4
EIA
units
(or
12
holes)
of
space.
Each
unit
is
separated
by
a
very
small
space.
See
Figure
2-5
for
an
example
of
how
to
count
EIA
units.
The
2U
library
requires
2U
(3.5
in.)
of
space.
The
4U
library
requires
4U
(7
in.)
of
space.
If
you
are
not
rackmounting
your
library,
