The X400 Appliance must be installed in a customer-provided rack that meets the
following requirements:
Description
The X400 Appliance fits in a standard rack with a minimum depth of 37 inches (940 mm).
Recommended 24 inches wide rack to provide room for cable routing on the sides of the rack.
If you install a front door, it must maintain a minimum of 1.2 inches of clearance to the bezels.
It must be perforated with 50% or more evenly distributed air opening. It should enable easy
access for service personnel and allow the LEDs to be visible through it.
If you install a rear door, it must be perforated with 50% or more evenly distributed air
opening.
Blanking panels should be used as required to prevent air circulation inside the rack.
For X400 capacity cubes, there is a recommended minimum of 42 inches of clearance in the
front and 36 inches of clearance in the rear of the rack to allow for service area and proper
airflow.
The customer-provided rack should have redundant power zones, one on each side of the rack
with separate PDU power strips. Each redundant power zone should have capacity for the
maximum power load. When configured this way, the X400 Appliance will remain up and
running even with the failure of one power zone.
Use the power calculator
configuration and customer-provided PDU.
For customer provided PDUs, the Dell EMC power cords on the cubes expect C13/C14
connections.
Note: Dell EMC is not responsible for any failures, issues, or outages resulting from failure
of the customer-provided PDUs.
Customer rack and data center floor must be capable of supporting the weight of
PowerProtect X400 equipment.
