Receiving and Unpacking Requirements
When the server is unloaded at your site:
■
Leave the server in its shipping carton until it arrives at its installation location.
■
Use a separate area to remove the packaging material to reduce particle contamination
before the server is taken to the data center.
■
Ensure that there is enough clearance and clear pathways to move the server from the
unpacking area to the installation location.
■
Ensure that the entire access route to the installation location is free of raised-pattern
flooring that causes vibration.
Rack Space Requirements
Oracle Server X8-8 is a five rack unit (5U) server. For physical dimensions, see “Server
Physical Specifications” on page 13 .
You can install the server into a four-post rack cabinet that conforms to ANSI/EIA
310-D-1992 or IEC 60279 standards, such as Oracle Rack Cabinet 1242. See “Rack
Compatibility” on page 44 .
The minimum ceiling height for the cabinet is 230 cm (90 inches), measured from the true
floor or raised floor, whichever is higher. An additional 91.4 cm (36 inches) of ceiling height is
required for top clearance. The space above the cabinet and its surroundings must not restrict
the movement of cool air between the air conditioner and the cabinet, or the movement of hot
air coming out of the top of the cabinet.
Maintenance Space Requirements
The maintenance area for the rackmounted Oracle Server X8-8 must have the required access
space. The following table lists the maintenance access requirements for the server when it is
installed in a rack.
