User Category User-Supplied Items
All Users

Two available AC outlets not controlled by a wall switch (for best results, the second power
receptacle should be on a different circuit).
Rack-Mount Users

A standard NEMA-compliant 19-inch rack (cables supplied for connections between the DSN-5000
series primary array and DSN-5000 expansion arrays require all arrays to be located in close
proximity to each other).

Additional mounting hardware for specific rack being used, if necessary.
4.6 Installing the DSN-5000 Expansion Array
If the DSN-5000 expansion array will be installed on a desktop or shelf, locate the array close
to the DSN-5000 series primary array, with sufficient ventilation space between the
expansion array and any other objects in the vicinity. Do not block the air vents on the front
and back of the DSN-5000 expansion array enclosure. Install the cables and power cords
according to the procedures in the following sections.
If the DSN-5000 expansion array will be mounted in a rack, mount the DSN-5000 expansion
array in the same rack, either above or below the primary array. For information about
installing the system in a rack, refer to Appendix B and the documentation for the rack.
The rack cabinet must provide sufficient airflow to the front and back of the
DSN-5000 expansion array to maintain correct cooling. It must include
ventilation sufficient to exhaust the heat generated by equipment installed
in the rack.
