◦ 10 GbE network for iSCSI and management
◦ Fibre Channel SAN (8Gb or 16Gb) for data and a 1 GbE management network
•
Provide adequate structural support
Calculate the total weight of your equipment and verify that your site can support the weight.
•
Provide adequate clearance space and ventilation
Be sure to provide adequate clearance around the front and back of the racks. Provide at least 63.5
cm (25 in) in the front of the rack to allow the doors to open fully and provide at least 76.2 cm (30 in) in
the rear of the rack to allow for servicing and airflow.
If there are unused spaces in your rack, attach blanking panels across those empty spaces to force
the airflow through the components instead of through the open spaces.
•
Provide adequate and redundant sources of power
Ensure that two high-line power feeds are installed near the system. These two power sources usually
come from the same external power grid, but occasionally might originate from different grids or even
entirely different sources.
For protection against a power-source failure, obtain and include two uninterruptible power supplies
(UPS) in your installation. See the following URL for a list of available UPS:
