RE: 19" rack size ?



That's actually a good description of it, it has two closer together than
the third.

I hope I'm not going to have to buy a whole new rack just because the door
is buggered :(

Cheers

Marc

The door may be a problem, it'll depend on what make it is and how it fits
to the rack itself.

As for what size a rack is in U, well on each side where you screw the
equipment in, there are little square holes, On *most* racks 3 of these
squares = 1 U, so count the squares and divide by 3. However there is some
racks out there where the middle hole isn't there so it'll look like 2
square holes then gap, then 2 square holes. The Gaps will be the middle of
the 'U' so you can count these to get your Total U size.

Thats probably not clear and someone will doubtles be along in a minute
with
a better explaination.
