optimize workloads by carefully mapping
current demands and available resources.
HPE Enterprise Series Racks are designed
to support high capacity weight loads that
allow IT managers to fully utilize every inch
of available rack space. All Enterprise Series
Rack models are tested to provide a maximum
static load of up to 3000 lbs. If you require
a rack that can be moved while fully loaded
with equipment, all HPE Enterprise Series

design that supports maximum airflow with
the doors closed.1 Additionally, an updated
design to the rack’s RETMA rails allows for
placement of HPE horizontal/modular PDUs
in a true zero-U space—on the side of the
rack—saving valuable rack U space and
simplifying rear-rack cable management.
