System Cooling
The 2U24 Flash Storage Platform has an advanced thermal algorithm that monitors all of the temperature
sensors in the system. The enclosure makes adjustments to the fan speeds based upon the thermal sensors.
The fan algorithm takes into account the component and the warning and critical threshold limits set by SES.
If any temperature sensor gets to the warning limit, the fans speeds will increase to cool the component.
If the enclosure encounters low temperatures, the system will reduce fan speed in an attempt to conserve
power and not over-cool the enclosure.
This algorithm is agnostic to effects of altitude and humidity. The algorithm simply works based on
temperatures within the system with emphasis on reducing power consumption.

ESD
The enclosure is designed to dissipate all electrostatic discharges to the chassis base. Ensure that there is
sufficient electrical and mechanical connection from the chassis base to the rack rails, and that the rack itself
is tied to earth ground. It is recommended that suitable ESD precautions be observed during installation
and service operations
The unit must be grounded in accordance with all local/regional and national electrical codes.

Rack Requirements
Rack spaces should be equipped to give the enclosure ample power and connectivity to perform as
expected. They must also provide effective airflow, cooling , and allow for access for routine maintenance.
For proper rack installation of the 2U24 Flash Storage Platform, mount the enclosure according to the
following drawing:
