REV 02 June, 2013 This document describes installation and maintenance procedures for the SVR-I1U-1208 server. This server has slots for eight 2.5-inch drive assemblies. Some server components are replaceable as field replaceable units (FRUs). Refer to your product documentation for information on which components are FRUs.

EMC provides a power and weight calculator at http:// powercalculator.EMC.com. Use this calculator to refine the power and heat values in the table below to more-closely match the specific server hardware configuration. Ensure that the server installation site meets the requirements for your configuration.

Rating label on the chassis. For additional information, refer to the preparation/planning guides for your specific site and cabinet. Operating limits The ambient temperature specification is measured at the front bezel inlet. The site must have air conditioning of the correct size and placement to maintain the specified ambient temperature range and offset the heat dissipation listed in the table that follows.

We suggest that you use a cabinet that has dual power distribution units, one on each side. We recommend that you use cabinet anti-tip devices, especially if you are installing or removing a server in the upper half of the cabinet when the lower half is empty.
