Chapter 1 Planning for the Installation 3
Caution – Use a minimum of two or three people to move the cabinet. Wear gloves
and protective footwear to avoid injury. Employ more personnel as needed,
especially down ramps. A heavy cabinet can twist and turn, pinning you against the
wall. Avoid moving a cabinet on a ramp with more than a 10 degree incline/decline.
Secure Installation Requirements
To minimize personnel injury in the event of a seismic occurrence, ensure that the
cabinet is securely fastened to a rigid structure extending from the floor to the
ceiling, or from the walls, of the room in which the cabinet is located.
Ensure that the cabinet is on a level surface. At each corner, on the base of the
cabinet, should be adjustable nonskid pads. Extend these pads to prevent the cabinet
from rolling. Do not use these pads to level the cabinet.
Placement of a Sun Product
Allow enough room surrounding the cabinet for access to the cabinet. A minimum
amount of clearance must be maintained to ensure adequate cooling and to provide
access to the system components for status monitoring and maintenance.
Caution –
Do not block or cover the openings of the Sun product. Never place a
Sun product near a radiator or heat register. Failure to follow these guidelines can
cause overheating and affect the reliability of the Sun product.
Air cools the system components from front to back. Air enters at the front,
circulates, and is expelled at the back of the cabinet. Ensure that front and back door
clearances are maintained to provide sufficient cooling. See
Chapter 2 for more
specifications.
