Cabinet Placement Clearances
Note – The distance between the back of the cabinet and the customer’s power
source connectors should be 2.4 meters (8 feet) or less.
Regulatory agencies require the control of emissions, and this is especially important
when the Sun StorageTek 6540 storage system is in place.
Caution – A front and rear door are required to be installed, and closed, when the
equipment is not being serviced. The rear door must remain physically attached and
closed (unless being serviced).
Follow basic procedures outlined in the appropriate installation manuals for
removing devices. Extender legs or tip-prevention (outrigger) legs are required to
enable personnel to slide out and remove or reinstall equipment as well as service
equipment and to perform maintenance.
