Specifications

This section provides site specifications for the DS4800 Storage Subsystem. Before
installing a storage subsystem, you must either verify that your planned installation
site meets these requirements, or prepare the site so that it does meet these
requirements. Preparations might involve meeting area requirements, environmental
requirements, and electrical requirements for DS4800 installation, service, and
operation.

Area requirements

The floor space at the installation site must provide enough strength to support the
weight of the storage subsystem and associated equipment; sufficient space to
install, operate, and service the storage subsystem; and sufficient ventilation to
provide a free flow of air to the unit.

Dimensions

Figure 9 shows the dimensions of the DS4800 Storage Subsystem, which conforms
to the 19-inch rack standard.
