Rackmounting Recommendations
To ensure the safe and efficient operation of the RAIDstation7 Fibre Channel
rackmount Storage Array it is essential that you comply with the following guide-
lines. Adaptec’s rackmount systems may be installed in closed or open rackmount
cabinets by observing the environmental, electrical and mechanical precautions
listed in the following sections.
Ambient Temperature
Installation of rackmount systems in standard 19-inch equipment racks may lead
to a differential between the room ambient temperature and the internal ambient
temperature of the rack cabinet environment. The normal operating temperature
of the RAIDStation Fibre Storage Array is between 5
o
C and 30
o
C (between 41
o
F
and 86
o
F). The maximum operating temperature of the RAIDStation7 Fibre
Channel Storage Array is 40
o
C, 104
o
F. However, it is not recommended that the
system be continuously run at this elevated temperature for extended periods of
time.
Air Flow
To ensure that the RAIDstation7’s internal heat build-up is adequately dissipated
into the room environment, the Storage Array’s air flow must not be restricted.
No air vents or ducts can be blocked. The system must be a minimum of 1 meter
away from a solid surface such as a wall or partition. Air flow through the
RAIDstation7 Storage Array is from front to rear.
Mechanical Stability
Consideration should be given to the loading of the rack cabinet. To maintain a
low center of gravity (thus reducing the likelihood of instability and equipment
tipping) rackmount Storage Arrays should be installed (where possible) from the
bottom of the cabinet upwards. This is essential to ensure personal safety.
