Sun StorageTek 6540 Rack Ready Site Preparation and Installation Support Guide • July 2006...
  • Page 21: Cabinet Height

    Cabinet Height Cabinet design is described based on EIA-STD-310-D, which describes usable cabinet space in terms of a vertical modular unit-called a ’U’. One U equals 44.45 mm or 1.75 inches of internal vertical space. Standard equipment racks come in a variety of heights from small units around 356mm (14") high that can provide 8U of equipment space to 2223mm (87.5") high or 50U of equipment space.
  • Page 22: Cabinet Depth

    This space is required for clearance of the equipment and to ensure the door does not prevent proper air flow to the equipment. Cabinet Depth Recommendations FIGURE 2-1 Sun StorageTek 6540 Rack Ready Site Preparation and Installation Support Guide • July 2006...
  • Page 23: Weight

    Weight The weight of a fully loaded cabinet can vary well above 545 kg (1200 lbs), especially when adding newer disk drive trays and disk controller trays to existing equipment. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that the infrastructure (sub-floor) is capable of supporting a fully loaded cabinet.
  • Page 24: Cabinet Placement

    Extender legs or tip-prevention (outrigger) legs are required to enable personnel to slide out and remove or reinstall equipment as well as service equipment and to perform maintenance. Sun StorageTek 6540 Rack Ready Site Preparation and Installation Support Guide • July 2006...
  • Page 25: Seismic Anchorage

    Caution – Make sure that all devices and cables that will be removed and reinstalled in the cabinet are identified in such a way as to ensure that they go back in the same order that they were originally in (so the host and controllers will communicate to the same devices as before).
  • Page 26: Use Of Mounting Flanges

    EIA-310-D specifies the placement of the mounting holes in the mounting flange, which can be round, square, or threaded. See FIGURE 2-4 Nema Rail and Retma Rail Hole Patterns FIGURE 2-4 Sun StorageTek 6540 Rack Ready Site Preparation and Installation Support Guide • July 2006...
  • Page 27: Mounting Flange Cage Nuts

    Mounting Flange Cage Nuts Check that the rail kit hardware about to be used is designed to work with the mounting flange holes used in the cabinet. Most rail kits supplied by Sun work best with square holes, but some come with cage nuts for both mounting flange types. FIGURE 2-5 Cabinet Nut Clips FIGURE 2-5...
  • Page 28: Rail Kits

    Accessories and rail kits may not install successfully in equipment without adjustable rear mounting flanges. The two main rail types are the heavy rail (p/n 314034403) and the light rail with thinner metal (p/n 312351802).
