Preparing the Site for System Installation Install the Sun Blade 6000 modular system in accordance with the local safety codes and regulations at the facility site. You must be familiar with and adhere to the safety precautions in the Sun Blade 6000 Modular System Safety and Compliance Manual.
The power requirements for different components in the Sun Blade 6000 system are provided through the power conversion calculator. Use the power calculator for estimating the power consumption of your system: http://www.oracle.com/us/products/servers-storage/sun-power-calc ulators/calc/6000chassis-power-calculator.html Site Planning Guide for Sun Blade 6000 and Sun Blade 6048 Modular Systems • February 2012...
Power Cords The connection to the Sun Blade 6000 chassis AC inlet requires the following types of power cords, dependent on site location and power source. If you are connecting the system directly to an external power source (for example, ■...
BTU/hr. This requires that the data center HVAC system must accommodate the maximum heat release of a fully configured system, as well as any other systems in the data center. Site Planning Guide for Sun Blade 6000 and Sun Blade 6048 Modular Systems • February 2012...
The amount of heat output per Sun Blade 6000 system varies, depending on the system configuration. The systems are equipped with fans that route cool air throughout the chassis from front to rear. The fans are speed controlled based on system temperature sensors.
System extended from rack 3 feet (0.9 m) on both sides of the system to facilitate installation Front cold aisle 5 feet (1.5 m); required for rackmounting Site Planning Guide for Sun Blade 6000 and Sun Blade 6048 Modular Systems • February 2012...
Location Service Access Requirement Back hot aisle 3 feet (0.9 m); required for cable access Arrange racks in a hot aisle–cold aisle layout. This layout enables cool air to flow through the aisles to the system’s front air intake and enables heated air to flow from the system’s back exhaust.
