All Oracle PCA racks have the same space requirements. The space requirements are as follows:
Height: 42U - 1998 mm (78.66 inches)
Width: 600 mm with side panels (23.62 inches)
Depth (front door handle to rear door handle): 1200 mm (47.24 inches)
Depth (doors removed): 1112 mm (43.78 inches)
Weight (base rack, fully populated): 894 kg (1972 lbs)
The minimum ceiling height for the cabinet is 2300 mm (90 inches), measured from the true floor or raised floor, whichever is higher. An additional 914 mm (36 inches) is for top clearance. The space above the cabinet and its surroundings must not restrict the movement of cool air between the air conditioner and the cabinet, or the movement of hot air coming out of the top of the cabinet.
Before your Oracle PCA arrives, ensure that the receiving area is large enough for the package. The following are the package dimensions and weights for an Oracle PCA system:
Shipping height: 2159 mm (85 inches)
Shipping width: 1219 mm (48 inches)
Shipping depth: 1575 mm (62 inches)
Shipping weight (base rack, fully populated): 996 kg (2197 lbs)
If your loading dock meets the height and ramp requirements for a standard freight carrier truck, then you can use a pallet jack to unload the rack. If the loading dock does not meet the requirements, then you must provide a standard forklift or other means to unload the rack. You can also request that the rack be shipped in a truck with a lift gate.
When your Oracle PCA arrives, leave the rack in its shipping packaging until it arrives at its installation site. Use a conditioned space to remove the packaging material to reduce particles before entering the data center. The entire access route to the installation site should be free of raised-pattern flooring that can cause vibration.
Allow enough space for unpacking the system from its shipping cartons. Ensure that there is enough clearance and clear pathways for moving the Oracle PCA from the unpacking location to the installation location. Table 2.1 lists the access route requirements for the Oracle PCA.
Table 2.1 Access Route Requirements
Access Route Item | With Shipping Pallet | Without Shipping Pallet |
|---|---|---|
Minimum door height | 2184 mm (86 inches) | 2040 mm (80.32 inches) |
Minimum door width | 1220 mm (48 inches) | 600 mm (23.62 inches) |
Minimum elevator depth | 1575 mm (62 inches) | 1200 mm (47.24 inches) |
Maximum incline | 6 degrees | 6 degrees |
Maximum elevator, pallet jack, and floor loading capacity | 1134 kg (2500 lbs) | 1134 kg (2500 lbs) |
The maintenance area must be large enough for Oracle PCA, and have the required access space. For example, the required space to remove the side panels is 675.64 mm (26.6 inches). Table 2.2 lists the maintenance access requirements for the Oracle PCA.
Table 2.2 Maintenance Access Requirements
Location | Maintenance Access Requirement |
