Specifications Radio frequency interference Electro-magnetic fields, which include radio frequencies can interfere with the operation of electronic equipment. EMC Corporation products have been certified to withstand radio frequency interference (RFI) in accordance with standard EN61000-4-3. In Data Centers that employ intentional radiators, such as cell phone repeaters, the maximum ambient RF field strength should not exceed 3 Volts /meter.
Specifications Power consumption and heat dissipation EMC provides the EMC Power Calculator to refine the power and heat figures to more closely match your array. Contact your EMC Sales Representative or use the EMC Power Calculator for specific supported configurations. The following table provides calculations of maximum power and heat dissipation.
Specifications Adaptive cooling The systems apply adaptive cooling based on customer environments to save energy. Engines and DAEs access thermal data through components located within their enclosures. Based on ambient temperature and internal activity, they set the cooling fan speeds. As the inlet temperatures increase, the adaptive cooling increases the fan speeds, with the resulting platform power increasing up to the maximum values shown below.
Specifications Airflow Systems are designed for typical hot aisle/cold aisle data center cooling environments and installation: On raised or nonraised floors. In hot aisle/cold aisle arrangements. The airflow provides less mixing of hot and cold air, which can result in a higher return temperature to the computer room air conditioner (CRAC).
Specifications Air volume, air quality, and temperature The installation site must meet certain recommended requirements for air volume, temperature, altitude, and humidity ranges, and air quality. Air volume specifications The following table provides the recommended maximum amount of air volume. Table 8 Maximum air volume, VMAX 250F Units System bay, 1 V-Brick...
Specifications Table 11 Temperature and humidity Condition System Operating temperature range 64°— 75° F (18° to 24° C) Operating relative humidity range 40 — 55% Air quality requirements VMAX All Flash arrays are designed to be consistent with the requirements of the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Environmental Standard Handbook and the most current revision of Thermal Guidelines for Data Processing Environments, ASHRAE TC 9.9 2011.
Specifications Shock and vibration The following table provides the platform shock and vibration maximums and the transportation shock and vibration levels (in the vertical direction). Note Levels shown apply to all three axes, and should be measured with an accelerometer in the equipment enclosures within the cabinet.
Specifications Table 14 Sound power and sound pressure levels, A-weighted, VMAX 450F, VMAX 850F, VMAX 950F (continued) Measured at the four bystander positions per ISO7779 Hardware acclimation times Systems and components must acclimate to the operating environment before applying power. This requires the unpackaged system or component to reside in the operating environment for up to 16 hours in order to thermally stabilize and prevent condensation.
Specifications Optical multimode cables Optical multimode 3 (OM3) and optical multimode 4 (OM4) cables are available for open systems host and SRDF connectivity. To obtain OM3 or OM4 cables, contact your local sales representative. OM3 cables are used for SRDF connectivity over: 4, 8, and 10 Gb/s Fibre Channel I/O modules, 10 GbE and 1 GbE I/O modules.

CHAPTER 5 Physical weight and space This chapter includes: Floor load-bearing capacity................40 Raised floor requirements.................. 40 Physical space and weight.................. 41 Physical weight and space...
Physical weight and space Floor load-bearing capacity Storage arrays can be installed on raised floors. Customers must be aware that the load-bearing capacity of the data center floor is not readily available through a visual inspection of the floor. The only definitive way to ensure that the floor is capable of supporting the load associated with the array is to have a certified architect or the data center design consultant inspect the specifications of the floor to ensure that the floor is capable of supporting the array weight.
Physical weight and space additional pedestal mounts relative to a cutout should be in accordance with the tile manufacturer’s recommendations. Take care when positioning the bays to make sure that a caster is not moved into a cutout. Cutting tiles per specifications ensures the proper caster placement. Use or create no more than one floor tile cutout that is no more than 8 in.

Best Practices for AC Power Connections Best practices overview for AC power connections To assure fault tolerant power, external AC power must be supplied from independent, customer-supplied, power distribution units (PDUs) as shown in Figure 34 on page 112. NOTICE For systems operating from three phase AC power, two independent and isolated AC power sources are recommended for the two individual power zones in each rack of the system.
Best Practices for AC Power Connections Selecting the proper AC power connection procedure The EMC Customer Engineer must select the proper AC power connection procedure There are three possible scenarios at the installation site regarding the connection of customer AC power to the EMC array. The EMC Customer Engineer (CE) must select the proper AC power connection procedure for the scenario.
Best Practices for AC Power Connections Procedure A: Working with the customer's electrician onsite Use this procedure if the customer’s electrician is available at the installation site. This procedure requires three basic tasks that alternate between the customer's electrician, the EMC CE and back to the customer's electrician. Task 1: Customer's electrician Task 2: EMC Customer Engineer (CE) Task 3: Customer's electrician...
Best Practices for AC Power Connections Procedure A, Task 1: Customer's electrician NOTICE This task is performed by the customer's electrician. Procedure 1. Verify that the customer-supplied AC source voltage output on each customer- supplied PDU is within the AC power specification shown in AC power specifications on page 130.
Best Practices for AC Power Connections Procedure A, Task 2: EMC Customer Engineer Before you begin Before connecting power to the system, make sure that the power for both zone A and zone B are turned OFF.

Note For power zone-A, use the extension cord with gray sleeves at the ends.
Best Practices for AC Power Connections Procedure A, Task 3: Customer's electrician NOTICE This task is performed by the customer's electrician. Procedure 1. Working with the EMC Customer Engineer, turn ON all the relevant circuit breakers in customer-supplied PDU 2. Verify that only power supply and/or SPS LEDs in power zone A are ON or flashing green in every bay in the array.
Best Practices for AC Power Connections Procedure B: Verify and connect Perform this procedure if the two conditions listed below are true: Access to customer-supplied, labeled, power cables (beneath raised floor or overhead). The customer's electrician is not available at the installation site. This procedure requires the EMC Customer Engineer to verify that the customer's electrician has complied with power specifications.
Best Practices for AC Power Connections Procedure C: Obtain customer verification Perform this procedure if the three conditions listed below are true: The customer-supplied PDU source cables are already plugged into the EMC PDU. You have no access to the area below the raised floor. The customer's electrician is not available at the installation site.
