A.1 Air Flow and Other Clearance
Requirements
FIGURE A-1
Sun StorEdge D2 Array Air Flow Clearance Requirements
Air is taken into the front of StorEdge D2 Array and is exhausted out the back, as
shown in
FIGURE A-1
. Take care to protect adjacent systems from exposure to the
heated air coming from the back of the array. Exposure to the exhausted air can
damage the components of an exposed system and can weaken the mounting
hardware of the cabinet in which the system may be mounted.
To avoid the above-stated risks, to meet fire safety standards, and to enable easy
access to the components in the back for servicing, do not place any other systems
within 30 in (76.2 cm) of the back of the array.
No side clearance is required.
