Overview of data center requirements

VMAX arrays are designed for installation in data centers that provide:

Sufficient physical space

Controlled temperature and humidity

Airflow and ventilation

Power and grounding

System cable routing facilities

Fire protection

Raised floors are preferred.

For information regarding overhead cable routing, see

Overhead routing kit

on page 84.

To prepare the site for an array, meet with your Dell EMC Systems Engineer and Customer
Engineer to determine what is needed to prepare for delivery and installation. One or more
sessions may be necessary to finalize installation plans.

Tasks to review

The following table provides a list of tasks to review during the planning process:

Table 3 Before you begin

Task

Comments and/or Provide

Identify power requirements with customer and
customer electrician.

External AC power must be supplied from an
independent customer-supplied power distribution unit
(PDU).

Dell EMC recommends that the customer’s electrician be
available at the installation site for regular and third party
racked arrays.

Best Practices for AC Power Connections

on page 87

provides details.

For customer-supplied third party rack support, see the
detailed physical requirements in

Third Party Racking

Option

on page 73.

The field representative working the order must:

Review the requisite information regarding the third
party racking option.

In Sizer, select the desired configuration. In the
Hardware Options screen, under Rack Type, select
Third Party.

Complete the Installation Planning Task Sheet and Presite
Survey

in DXCX.

Connection for ConnectEMC to dial home to the Dell
EMC Support Center.

Data Center Safety and

Remote Support

on page 31 provides additional

details on remote support.

Power, cooling and ventilation, humidity control,
floor load capability, system placement, and service
clearances as required in the data center.
