Cabinet Specifications and Site Requirements
|
This chapter describes the physical, environmental, and electrical requirements for the Sun Rack 1000-38 (STK5800) cabinet, which is the cabinet used for the Sun StorageTek 5800 System.
The floor area at the installation site must provide enough stability to support the weight of the cabinet and installed trays, sufficient space for installation and servicing of the cabinet and components, and sufficient ventilation to provide a free flow of air to the cabinet.
To ensure safe and proper operation of the system, and ease of maintenance, make sure that all of these requirements are met before using the cabinet. It contains the following sections:

A fully loaded Sun Rack 1000-38 (STK5800) cabinet has a maximum weight capacity of 1500 pounds (680.4 kilograms). The total weight of your Sun Rack STK5800 cabinet depends on the number and type of components installed in the cabinet. TABLE 2-2 displays the weights of each different configuration. Use these weights to estimate the total weight of your system, based on the number of components installed in the cabinet. Record the total weight in an easy-to-find place to reference when checking flooring load or elevator weight restrictions.

If you plan to operate a system at an altitude between 3280 ft. to 10,000 ft. (1000 m to 3048 m) above sea level, lower the environmental temperature 3.3˚F (1.7˚C) for every 3280 ft. (1000 m) above sea level. TABLE 2-4 lists the acceptable humidity ranges in which the 5800 system is designed to operate.

Airflow and Heat Dissipation
Rack airflow is from front to back. Allow at least 30 inches (76.2 cm) in front of the rack, and at least 24 (60.96 cm) inches behind the rack, for service clearance, proper ventilation, and heat dissipation.
Maximum Heat Output
The maximum heat output for the 5800 system is as follows:
- Half cell: 2420 watts (8257 BTU/hr)
- Full cell: 4420 watts (15082 BTU/hr)
- Dual cell: 8840 watts (30163 BTU/hr)

Network Requirements
Your network must include the following features to allow for successful installation and administration of the 5800 system.
- If you want to administer the 5800 system using the command-line interface (CLI), the system from which you want to access the CLI must be running a secure shell (SSH) client.
- If you want to administer the 5800 system using the graphical user interface (GUI), you must have a Java-enabled web browser on your network. Refer to the Sun StorageTek 5800 System Release Notes for versions of Java that are supported.
- You must reserve three IP addresses on your network per half-cell or full-cell for data, administration, and service access.
- There must be at least one Network Time Protocol (NTP) server available on the network.
- If you want to have system alerts emailed to an administrator, you must have an email address available for this purpose and a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server available on the network.
- None of the hosts located on the same subnet as the 5800 system can use the following addresses, which are reserved for use by the 5800 system:
- 10.123.0.1
- 10.123.0.2
- 10.123.45.1
- 10.123.45.100 through 10.123.45.116
