Enterprise 4500 System

The Enterprise 4500 system is designed to sit on the floor, on a caster base, or on a
desk or table.
Note – Do not stack multiple Enterprise 4500 systems directly on top of each other.
Follow these guidelines to prepare a location.
The server unit requires approximately 1.5 feet (50 cm) of space in the front and
back for access by service personnel (
A minimum space of 6 inches (16 cm) is required on both sides of the server to
afford adequate air flow.
A minimum space of 3 feet (91 cm) is recommended to avoid exhaust air
recirculation if systems are placed next to each other.
Caution – To avoid recirculating exhaust air from one system into another, do not
put systems or peripherals side by side closer than 3 feet (91 cm).
Keep power and interface cables clear of foot traffic. Route cables inside walls,
under the floor, through the ceiling, or in protective channels. Route interface
cables away from motors and other sources of magnetic or radio frequency
interference.
Refer to the Sun Microsystems Data Center Site Planning Guide, Data Centers' Best
