Not-Racked Systems

Oracle FS Systems that are not racked are shipped as separate components to a customer site. Customers supply their own racks to accommodate not racked systems. A customer-supplied rack must meet the rack specifications for an Oracle FS System. Customers who order not racked systems are responsible for installing and cabling components in the rack.

The following figure shows an example of an empty customer-supplied rack where Oracle FS System components are to be installed.

Oracle FS System components are compatible with racks that are compliant to the ANSI/EIA 310-D-1992. Use a four-post rack that can support the weight load of all Oracle FS System components.

The not racked Oracle FS System is staged at an Oracle manufacturing site. A temporary label is affixed to each component that indicates the component name and sequence number. A similar label is applied on the outside of the shipping carton for each component. Follow the labels on the shipping cartons to best facilitate the assembly of the Oracle FS System.

Power cords, network cables, and SAS cables are shipped in an accessory box, which is labeled as “Cables”. The rack labels, the system serial number (SSN) labels, and the Controller World Wide Node Name (WWnN) labels are packaged in a bag and shipped inside the carton for Pilot-1.
