Site Preparation
This chapter presents the information necessary to prepare a site for the
installation of the StorageWorks SH043-series cabinet.
2.1 General Considerations
SH043-series cabinets are intended for installation in Class A computer room
environments. Before installing the cabinet, make sure that the following
conditions have been met:
• The primary power source can supply the required amount of ac power, as
specified in Table 1–1.
• The site’s primary power receptacles are the correct versions for the power
plugs provided with the cabinet. The SH043-ZZ cabinet is supplied with a
power cable that has an IEC 309 plug.)
• The site floor can safely bear the weight of the cabinet, as specified in
Table 1–1. Keep in mind that the entire weight of the cabinet is borne by the
small surface area of the four leveler feet when the cabinet is installed in its
final position.
• Adequate space is provided around the cabinet for opening the front and rear
doors, for accessing cables, and for adequate airflow. SH043-series cabinets
are not designed to be fastened to adjacent cabinets. See Figure 2–1 for
specific space requirements.
