Power
Two 1,200W load-sharing, hot-pluggable, redundant PSUs.
Nominal input voltage is 100–240VAC, 47–63Hz. Cordset specification in North America is USA IEC C13
to IEC C14, rated 125V/15A.
Typical power consumption is 383W (1.73A) for 600GB SAS drives and 286W (1.32A) for 3TB SATA
drives. Peak current is up to 15A.
Cooling
Front panel: One 40mm 12V axial fan at the rear of the central fan tube.
Internal: Two 60mm 12V axial fans (life 40,000 hrs) per drive drawer at the front, for a total of four; one
60mm 12V axial fan (life 40,000 hrs) per drive drawer at the rear, for a total of two.
Note
Some Storage Systems have dual-fan packs at the rear of each drawer.
PSUs: One 38mm 12V axial fan (life 40,000 hrs) per PSU, for a total of two.
Materials
Chassis, external: Galvanized sheet steel
Chassis, internal: Galvanized sheet steel divider plates and sub-assemblies
