Appendix A
Specifications and Requirements
This appendix describes the technical specifications, area and power requirements of the
TP9400 rack and components.
The TP9400 is a 22-inch wide rack that contains two AC distribution boxes. Standard EIA
rails provide mounting holes for installing 19-inch wide devices. There are roller casters
and stability feet on the bottom of the rack for moving and leveling during installation
and relocation.
Depending upon performance, capacity, and availability requirements, you can
customize the TP9400 to meet your data storage needs.
For example, the key building blocks for the TP9400 include controller enclosures and
drive enclosures. The controller enclosure is a rackmount unit containing two array
controllers, a battery backup system, two fans, and redundant power supplies. The drive
enclosure is also a rackmount unit and contains up to ten drives, redundant fans and
power supplies, and either an array controller or Environmental Status Module (ESM)
board.
Figure A-1 shows a typical configuration that includes five drive enclosures and one
controller enclosure mounted in a 72-inch high rack. The rack is shipped with only the
bottom half filled to provide stability when shipping and moving the rack to the
installation site. The top half is filled with blank panels.
