Environmental requirements

Site requirements

The environmental specifications for operating your disk array must be

satisfied before installation.

The maximum altitude for disk array operation is 3,000 meters. For

nonoperational or storage situations, the maximum altitude is 4,000 meters.

Use separate computer room air conditioning duct work. If it is not separate

from the rest of the building, it might be difficult to control cooling and air

pressure levels. Duct work seals are important for maintaining a balanced

air conditioning system and high static air pressure. Adequate cooling

capacity means little if humidity levels increase when the ducts are exposed

to warm air, producing condensation. Condensation on any disk hardware

can damage the components.

Any questions regarding the adequacy of airflow construction should be

referred to and evaluated by a qualified structural engineer.
