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.


TABLE 2-2 Sun Rack STK5800 Cabinet and Component Weights

Component

Total Weight

8-node cell (nodes, switches and cables)

705 lbs (319.8 kgs)

16-node cell (nodes, switches and cables)

990 lbs (449.1 kgs)

Dual cell (nodes, switches and cables)

1265 lbs (573.8 kgs)


Table form to compute the weight of the componants by multplying the quantity times the weight of each componant. Componants include the cabinet, chassiss, controller, controller tray, expansion tray, power supply, and disk drives.


Environmental Requirements

This section describes the environmental conditions that are prerequisite to installing Sun Rack cabinets.

Temperature, Humidity, and Altitude

TABLE 2-3 lists operating and nonoperating temperature, relative humidity, and altitude ranges for the STK5800 rack.

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:
