Service clearance requirements
The service clearance area is the area around the storage unit that IBM service
representatives need to service the unit.
For DS8000 models, IBM services representatives must open the front and rear
covers to service the unit. Use the following minimum service clearances. (These
dimensions are also shown on Figure 22 on page 153.)
v For the front of the unit, allow a minimum of 121.9 cm (48 in.) for the service
clearance.
v
For the rear of the unit, allow a minimum of 76.2 cm (30 in.) for the service
clearance.
