Measurement
Sound power (normal operation)
Sound pressure (normal operation)
These levels are measured in controlled acoustical environments according to ISO
7779 and are reported in accordance with ISO 9296. The declared sound power
levels indicate an upper limit, below which a large portion of machines operate.
Sound pressure levels in your location might exceed the average 1-meter values
stated because of room reflections and other nearby noise.
Electrical requirements
This section provides information regarding site power and wiring, storage
subsystem ac power requirements, and power cord routing instructions.
Consider the following information when preparing the DS5100 and DS5300
installation site:
v Protective ground – Site wiring must include a protective ground connection to
v Circuit overloading – Power circuits and associated circuit breakers must provide
v Power failures – If a total power failure occurs, the unit automatically performs a
