2-2 Sun StorEdge A5000 Installation and Service Manual • September 1999
2.1 Electrical Requirements
The disk array uses nominal input voltages of 100–120 VAC or 200–240 VAC. Sun
products are designed to work with single-phase power systems having a grounded
neutral conductor.
Caution –
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not connect Sun products into
another type of power source. Contact your facilities manager or a qualified
electrician if you are unsure what type of power is supplied to your building.
2.2 Placement
Caution –
This installation requires two people to lift and move the disk array. Use
care to avoid injury. A disk array may weigh up to 120 pounds (54 kg).
The disk array is designed to sit on a desk or table. Use the following guidelines to
prepare a location for your system.
■
Choose a desk or table that can support up to 120 pounds (54 kg) for a fully
configured disk array.
■
Leave enough space in front of and behind the disk array so you can access
internal components.
■
Provide a minimum space of 6 inches (15 cm) on all sides of the disk array for
adequate air flow.
■
Keep power and interface cables clear of foot traffic. Route cables inside walls,
under the floor, through the ceiling, or in protective channels.
■
To avoid air flow from one subsystem air outlet to another subsystem air inlet, do
not place tabletop disk arrays next to each other. Cooling air is heated as it passes
through each machine and can become hot enough to exceed the operating
temperature range of the disk array.
