Prerequisites to Installation
Verify that these prerequisites have been satisfied before installing the ClusterStor L300 and L300N system.
Acclimate the System Cabinets
When the system is unloaded from the climate controlled truck, the shipping environment
temperature will be close to the computer room. If the system has been stored in an
environment that is significantly colder than the environment in which it will be installed (15
°F [8 °C] or greater disparity), leave the system cabinets in their shipping configuration for at
least 24 hours at room temperature. This prevents damage to the equipment from thermal
shock and condensation.
Inspect the System
Cray has provided the pre-configured rack: built, configured, and tested to the valid
configuration ordered.
Forklift Size Requirements
●
10 ton (9,072 kg) minimum lifting capacity
●
Forklift with tine side travel is strongly recommended
Rack Weight and Dimensions
If the system cabinets do not fit through all access doors, you may need to uncrate the
system cabinets as described in
Uncrate the ClusterStor L300 and L300N Rack
on page
15 in a secure (dry) staging area. Check the flooring on the entire path from the truck or
staging area to the computer room. Be sure the flooring can:
●
Support the weight of the system cabinet
●
Allow the cabinet to roll, or if aluminum plates are required
●
Will not be damaged during the installation
Table 2. Rack Weight and Dimensions
Height: 78.40in (1991 mm)
Width: 23.60in (600 mm)
Depth: 47.25in (1200mm)
Weight: Maximum 2513 lbs. (1140 kg)
Weight: Shipping 1720 lbs. (780 kg)
Aluminum Plates
Aluminum plates may be required to roll the system across uneven flooring, thresholds,
carpeting, or other obstacles. Angle the cabinet when rolling it over the edge of the
aluminum plate so that only 1 wheel makes contact with the plate.
