Load-Bearing and Handling Precautions
A Sun Blade 8000 Modular System can weigh in excess of 600 pounds (272 kg) when
shipped, and 536 lb (243 kg) when fully configured and ready to rackmount. A Sun
Blade 8000 P Modular System can weigh in excess of 484 pounds (220 kg) when
shipped, and 420 lb (191 kg) when fully configured and ready to rackmount. Any
floor that the system will cross, or surface on which the system is placed, must be
able to support these loads.
The system is shipped on a pallet. You must maintain the system in a vertical,
upright position while it is in its shipping container. Be sure you use enough
personnel when moving the system, especially on sloping loading docks and ramps,
to gain access to a raised computer room floor. Move the system slowly and
deliberately, and ensure that the floor is free of foreign objects, cables, or other
obstructions.
Power and Electrical Requirements
The Sun Blade 8000 Modular System uses six power supply modules; the Sun Blade
8000 P Chassis uses four power supply modules. In both chassis, the modules
provide 48V at 3000W per supply for a total of 9000W per chassis.
The AC power requirements for the Sun Blade 8000 Series systems are as follows:
Voltage - 200 to 240 VAC
■
Frequency - 50 to 60 Hz
■
Current - 16A per power supply
■
The data center must meet the following electrical requirements for installation of a
Sun Blade 8000 Series system:
200 to 240 VAC, 16A/20A branch circuits, one for each of the AC inlets on the
■
chassis, are required. If AC power and power supply redundancy are not
required, three 200 to 240 VAC, 16A/20A branch circuits are required.
The amount of power that the system consumes is dependent on its configuration,
that is, the number of active modular components installed. To determine the power
redundancy requirements, you need to know:
Source power available (depends on power supply configuration and available
■
source power)
Power consumption (depends on component configuration)
■
Redundancy level required
■
Both systems require a minimum of three active power supply modules. You can
configure the power supplies as follows:
Sun Blade 8000 Chassis - N+N for full grid redundancy
■
Sun Blade 8000 P Chassis - N+1 for power supply redundancy
