    N+1 power supply redundancy. Power Cord Requirements The connection to the Sun Blade 8000 Series chassis AC inlets requires the following types of power cords, which are dependent on site location. Each AC inlet requires a separate power cord; therefore, six power cords are required for the Sun Blade 8000 Chassis and four power cords are required for the Sun Blade 8000 P Chassis.
  • Page 13: Power Calculations

    Power Calculations You can use the Sun Blade 8000 Series Power Calculators to help you determine the power requirements of either the Sun Blade 8000 or Sun Blade 8000 P Modular System. The intent of the Power Calculator is to provide guidance for estimating the electrical and heat loads per populated chassis for racking and facilities planning purposes.
  • Page 14: Cooling Requirements

    The amount of heat output per Sun Blade 8000 Series system varies, depending on the system configuration. The systems are equipped with fans that route cool air throughout the chassis from front to rear.
  • Page 15: Airflow Requirements

    Airflow Requirements The Sun Blade 8000 Series systems use forced air to draw in ambient air for cooling from the front of the chassis, while heated air exits the rear of the chassis. The design of the systems provides two primary regions of airflow: The lower airstream cools the Server Modules, and the upper airstream cools the power supplies, Chassis Monitoring Modules, and Network Express Modules.
  • Page 16: Compatible Cabinets

    Compatible Cabinets Note – The Sun Blade 8000 Series Chassis is designed for 4-post rackmounting only. Two-post rackmounting is not supported. The Sun Blade 8000 Series Chassis are designed for rackmounting. The chassis can be mounted into 35.4 to 39.4 inches (900 to 1000 mm) deep, 19-inch EIA-310D cabinets.

  • Page 18: Placement Of A Sun Product

    Placement of a Sun Product Do not block or cover the openings of the Sun Blade 8000 Series system. Never place a Sun product near a radiator or heat register. Failure to follow these guidelines can cause overheating and affect the reliability of your Sun product. Air cools the Sun Blade 8000 Series system from front to back.
