Installing the xStack Storage Array
This chapter describes how to install the xStack Storage Array.
3.1
Site Considerations
The site where you install the xStack Storage Array can affect its performance, Please observe the
following guidelines when setting up the xStack Storage Array.
Install the xStack Storage Array on a sturdy, level surface that can support the unit. A fully
populated xStack Storage unit weighs approximately 45 lbs. (20 kg.).
The power outlet should be within six feet (1.82 meters) of the xStack Storage Array.
For the xStack Storage Array to perform at optimal levels there must be adequate heat
dissipation and ventilation around the unit to avoid overheating.
–
Leave at least six inches (152.3 mm) of space at the front and back of the xStack Storage
Array for ventilation.
–
Do not locate the xStack Storage Array next to, on top off, or below any device that
generates a significant amount of heat or will block the fee flow of air through the
ventilation slots on the xStack Storage Array.
Install the xStack Storage Array in a fairly cool and dry location for the acceptable
temperature and humidity ranges.
Install the xStack Storage Array in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators
(such as motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight.
For rack installation, the following additional considerations must be observed:
The xStack Storage Array can be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack. The rack-mounting
hardware must be carefully selected to properly support the equipment. Follow the
instructions in the documentation for the rack.
The operating ambient temperature of rack-mounted equipment must not exceed the
maximum rated ambient temperature of 104 degrees F (70 degrees C).
The air flow clearances specified in this guide must be maintained within the rack.
The AC supply circuit for rack-mounted equipment must be capable of supplying the total
current specified on all the labels of the rack-mounted equipment.
All AC power supply connections must be properly earthed. To ensure the integrity of the
earth connection, special attention must be given to connections that are not directly
connected to the branch circuit (for example, power strips).
