QXS Site Planning Guide
RAID and Expansion Chassis Site Wiring and AC Power Requirements
Table 26
provides the RAID chassis AC power requirements required for all installations using AC
power supplies in the QXS 12, 24, 48, and 56-drive systems.
Table 27
provides the expansion chassis AC power requirements required for all installations using AC
power supplies in the QXS 12, 24, 48, and 56-drive systems.
Additional requirements include:
•
All AC mains and supply conductors to power distribution boxes for the rack-mounted system
must be enclosed in a metal conduit or raceway when specified by local, national, or other
applicable government codes and regulations.
•
Ensure that the voltage and frequency of your power source match the voltage and frequency
inscribed on the equipment’s electrical rating label.
