Weight

The total weight of a populated Sun StorEdge Expansion cabinet depends on the number and type of modules installed in the cabinet. TABLE 2-3 lists the weight of an empty cabinet and the maximum weight of each J4200 component, and TABLE 2-4 lists the weight of an empty cabinet and the maximum weight of each J4400 component. Use these weights to estimate the total weight of your system, based on the number of modules installed in the cabinet. Record the total weight in an easy-to-find place to reference when checking flooring load or elevator weight restrictions.

Environmental Requirements

This section describes the environmental conditions that are prerequisite to installing the cabinet.

Temperature, Humidity, and Altitude

TABLE 2-11 lists operating and nonoperating relative humidity, and altitude ranges for the Sun Fire cabinet. The table also provides the optimum operating condition in the recommended operating environment. Operating computer equipment for extended periods of time at or near the temperature or humidity extremes is known to significantly increase the failure rate of hardware components.

Airflow and Heat Dissipation

The air intake screens act as electro-magnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) filters, stopping both EMI and RFI emissions from the system. These screens are honeycomb screens, which also collect and trap dust and debris particles.

The Sun Fire cabinet’s air intake screens require periodic inspection and cleaning. To prevent restricted airflow and possible equipment failure, inspect the air intake screens for debris and trapped particles every three months of operation. Consider the level of debris on the screens and surrounding area in the decision as to when to remove and clean the air intake screens.

Power Requirements

The AC power sources must provide the correct voltage, current, and frequency specified on the module model and serial number label. The module can run without interruption within the limits shown in TABLE 2-12.
