^{1 (TableFootnote) The depth given does not include any I/O or power connectors, or any cable management features.}

^{2 (TableFootnote) Weights are estimates based on fully configured systems, and are dependent on specific system configurations.}

^{3 (TableFootnote) Three 2.75-m (9-ft) cords are provided in the Sun Fire V880 rackmounting kit, which extend the original 2.5-m (8.2-ft) power cord lengths to 5.25 m (17.2 ft).}

^{4 (TableFootnote) Three 2.75-m (9-ft) cords are provided in the Sun Fire V890 rackmounting kit, which extend the original 2.5-m (8.2-ft) power cord lengths to 5.25 m (17.2 ft).}

^{5 (TableFootnote) For the 250, 280R, V480, and V440 systems, the specifications refer to total input current required for a single AC inlet when

operating with a single power supply. The second power supply is the redundant element. For the V880 and V890 systems,

the specifications refer to total input current required for each AC inlet as two power supplies are required to operate the systems.

The third V880 and V890 power supplies are the redundant elements.}

^{6 (TableFootnote) These specifications are calculated using the base system configurations listed in TABLE 5-3.}

^{7 (TableFootnote) These specifications are calculated using the base system configurations listed in TABLE 5-3.}

^{8 (TableFootnote) The front and back doors of the cabinet must be at least 63% open for adequate airflow.}

^{9 (TableFootnote) Measured at 5 to 500 Hz for swept sine.}

^{10 (TableFootnote) Measured at 11 milliseconds half-sine pulse.}

^{11 (TableFootnote) The depth given does not include any I/O or power connectors, or any cable management features.}

^{12 (TableFootnote) The rack depth range is for systems using Sun rackmounting equipment.

(Rackmounting hardware is designed to fit a range of different cabinet depths.)}

^{13 (TableFootnote) Depth is 28.8 in (73.2 cm) including the power supply handle.}

^{14 (TableFootnote) This specification is the weight of the cabinet and two power sequencers only. The total weight of the cabinet also includes the systems and other equipment it houses.}

^{15 (TableFootnote) This capacity is for a fully configured cabinet.}

^{16 (TableFootnote) This is the theoretical maximum power capacity of the cabinet. This number should not be used

to calculate power and cooling requirements for your installation. Use the combined power

consumption figures of the equipment installed in the cabinet instead. See TABLE 5-4.}

^{17 (TableFootnote) These specifications refer to systems that are fully

extended from the rack.}
