2. Calculate the total area that is needed for model configuration by adding the
weight distribution area to the dimensions determined from Table 52 on page
149.
3.
Determine the total space that is needed for the storage units by planning the
placement of each model configuration in the storage units and how much area
each configuration requires based on step 2.
Note: You must provide two Ethernet cables that are straight four pair UTP
CAT5e Ethernet cable with RJ-45 jacks. They must be a minimum of 100
meters (330 feet) long. One Ethernet cable must be labeled "Black" on
both ends. The other cable must be labeled "Gray" on both ends. All
private network cables are marked as "Black" or "Gray" to visually
distinguish the redundant network cabling.
4.
Verify that the planned space and layout also meets the service clearance
requirements for each unit and system.
Dimensions and weight of individual models
When you are planning the floor and space requirements for your storage units,
consider the dimensions and weights of the models that compose your storage
units.
Table 53 provides the dimensions and weights of the DS8000 models.
