Recommended installation positions
Total required cabinet space = 2 U + 2 U x (Number of 2 U disk enclosures) + 4 U x (Number of 4 U disk enclosures)
For example, if the OceanStor 5500 V3 is equipped with three 2 U disk enclosures and three 4 U disk enclosures,
the space required by a cabinet is calculated as follows:
20 U = 2 U + 2 U x 3 + 4 U x 3
Note: The height of the storage system is measured by the unit of U. 1 U equals 44.45 mm (1.75 inches).
Tips
Install devices from the
bottom up and from heavy
to light (The total power of
all the devices cannot
exceed the total power of
the cabinet).
