Site Planning for the Sun Blade 8000 Series Systems

Route to the Data Center
Ideally, the data center and loading dock should be located in close proximity to one
another. The access allowances for the path from the loading dock to the data center
must include:
■
A minimum 56-inch (142-cm) height
■
A minimum 37-inch (94-cm) width (greater is recommended)
The system chassis and factory-installed components ship in a single container on a
pallet. The system must be kept in a vertical, upright position at all times while in its
shipping container. Ensure that the equipment and personnel unloading the chassis
shipping container can accommodate the shipping dimensions and weight of the
container. See
for shipping container and weight specifications.
If there is a significant temperature or humidity difference between the system and
the data center environment, keep the system in its shipping container in a location
that has a temperature and humidity environment similar to the data center. Wait at
least 24 hours before removing the system from its shipping container to prevent
thermal shock and condensation.
Provide a room that is separate from the data center in which to open equipment
cartons and to repack hardware when you install and remove parts. Avoid
unpacking the cartons in the data center. Dirt and dust from the packing materials
can contaminate the data center.
Facility Safety
Observe the following guidelines and precautions when installing the Sun Blade
8000 Series systems.
Secure Installation Requirements
To minimize personal injury in the event of a seismic occurrence, you must securely
fasten the cabinet in which the system is rackmounted to a rigid structure extending
from the floor to the ceiling, or from the walls, of the room in which the cabinet is
located.
