3.1.2.1

Placement of Rackmounted Systems

The array rackmounted configuration can exceed 1400 pounds (627 kg).
The floor surface must be level. The rack is equipped with wheels, for ease in
installation, and moveability of the system prior to installation. At each corner, on
the base of the rack, are adjustable non-skid pads. These must be extended when the
rack is installed to stop the rack from rolling around. These pads are not to be used
to level the rack.
To minimize personal injury in the event of a seismic occurrence, Sun Microsystems
suggest that the rack be securely fastened to a rigid structure extending from the
floor to the ceiling or from the walls of the room in which the rack is located.
3.1.2.2

Placement of Individual Tabletop Units

The array weighs 67 pounds (30 kg). The array enterprise configuration weighs 135
pounds (60 kg).
Choose a table or flat surface that can adequately support the array. Do not place
more than two arrays on a table, unless the table is rated to support the combined
weight of the arrays designated to be installed, and the table is securely fastened to
the wall or a rigid structure extending from the ceiling to the floor.
Do not stack more than two arrays. If the tabletop configuration is a greater number
than two arrays, place the arrays side by side in stacks of two or one.
Do not place the arrays on the edge of the table. Set the array so that at least 50% of
the it is inside the table or desk leg support area. Failure to do this may cause the
table or desk to tip over.

Electrical and Power Specifications

This section contains electrical requirements for rackmounted and table top arrays.
3.2.1 Sun StorEdge T3 and T3+ Array
Rackmounted Systems
All Sun StorEdge T3 and T3+ arrays require two independent power sources. Each
array rack has two power conditioners (distribution), for redundancy, mounted in
the base of the rack. Each array has two power and cooling units, and each power
