Installing The Enclosure In A Rack System; Rack System Precautions - Intel SSR212CC User Manual

Installing the Enclosure in a Rack System

Warning: The Intel® Storage System SSR212CC enclosure with all its component parts installed is
too heavy for a single person to easily install into a rack cabinet. The following
procedures describe the installation of the enclosure and highlight any critical pre-
requisite requirements and good handling practices which we encourage you to follow so
as to ensure that a successful installation is achieved in the easiest manner.
Caution: Ensure that you have fitted and checked a suitable anti-static wrist or ankle strap and
observe all conventional ESD precautions when handling modules and components. Avoid
contact with the backplane, server board and PCI card components and module
connectors, etc.
The enclosure is designed for installation into an industry standard 19-in cabinet capable
of holding the unit.
•
Minimum depth, 500 mm from front flange to rear metalwork (excludes rear cabling)
•
Weight: up to 30 kg, dependent upon configuration, per enclosure
•
A minimum gap of 25-mm (1-in) clearance between the rack cover and front of
drawer, and 50-mm (2-in) rear clearance between rear of drawer and rear of rack is
recommended in order to maintain the correct airflow around the enclosure.
•
The rack should present a maximum back pressure of 5 pascals (0.5-mm water
gauge).

Rack System Precautions

The following safety requirements must be considered when the storage system is
mounted in a rack:
•
The rack construction must be capable of supporting the total weight of the installed
storage system and the design should incorporate stabilizing features suitable to
prevent the rack from tipping or being pushed over during installation or in normal
use.
•
When loading a rack with units, fill the rack from the bottom up and empty from the
top down.
Warning: It is recommended that you do not slide more than one unit out of the rack at a time, to
avoid danger of the rack toppling over. Under no circumstances should more than one unit
be drawn out of any cabinet at any one time.
•
The system must be operated with low pressure rear exhaust installation (back
pressure created by rack doors and obstacles not to exceed 5 pascals [0.5-mm water
gauge]).
•
The rack design should take into consideration the maximum operating ambient
temperature for the storage system, which is 35°C.
•
The rack should have a safe electrical distribution system. It must provide over-
current protection for the storage system and must not be overloaded by the total
