5. Continue with “Preparing the site.”
Preparing the site
This section lists the floor space requirements and weight information for the
FAStT100. For information on interface cables and connections, see Chapter 3,
“Cabling the storage server,” on page 39.
Floor space: The floor area at the installation site must provide the following
conditions:
v
Enough stability to support the weight of the fully configured FAStT100 and
associated systems
v Sufficient space to install the FAStT100
Weight: The FAStT100 total weight depends on the number of FAStT 1.5 Gbps
SATA hard disk drives that are installed. A fully configured FAStT100 with two fans,
two power supplies, two RAID controllers, and up to 14 SATA hard disk drives
installed weighs 40.8 kg (85.7 lbs).
Continue with “Preparing the rack.”
Preparing the rack
Important: Before you install the FAStT100 in a rack, keep in mind the following
considerations:
v Review the documentation that comes with your rack enclosure for safety and
cabling considerations.
v
Install the FAStT100 in a recommended 22° C (72° F) environment.
v To ensure proper airflow, do not block the air vents; 15 cm (6 in.) of air space is
sufficient.
v
To ensure rack stability, load the rack starting at the bottom.
v
If you install multiple components in the rack, do not overload the power outlets.
v Always connect the storage server to a properly grounded outlet.
v
Always connect the rack power distribution units (PDUs) to at least two different
power circuits or sources.
Complete the following steps to prepare the rack before you install the FAStT100:
1. Move, unpack, and level the rack at the installation site (if needed).
2. Remove the external rack panels.
3. If necessary, stop all I/O activity to the devices in the rack.
4. If necessary, turn off all drive enclosure and rack power. Disconnect existing
power, network, and other external cables.
