The SSI Server Rack Specification is intended to clarify and reinforce mechanical interfaces introduced in the
EIA-310-D Standard. The EIA-310-D Standard is the document most used in the Rack and Cabinet Enclosure
industry.
At the time of this document, the EIA-310-D Standard had not been updated since its September 1992 release.
Industry-wide compliance issues have dictated that the EIA-310-D Standard be thoroughly reviewed and clarified.
The rack / cabinet enclosure manufacturer as well as the system designer and system implementer will benefit
from understanding and utilizing this document with future and existing designs.
