section
ActiveScale P100 regulatory and safety information

The front and rear of the system must be clear of any materials that could block or disrupt system airflow.
Disruption of airflow can cause performance issues or system damage due to overheating.
2.2.1 Airflow requirements
2.3 Rack requirements
The ActiveScale P100 is installed into a customer-supplied rack. Use the guidelines in this section to
choose an appropriate rack mounting solution.
Important: The absolute minimum depth requirement for the ActiveScale P100
is 42.12 in (1070 mm). However, Quantum Corporation recommends selecting a
rack with a minimum depth of 48 in (1200 mm) to allow for proper PDU
installation and cable routing.
Use the following additional guidelines when choosing a rack mounting solution for the ActiveScale P100:
• System dimensions—Select a rack mounting solution that has the appropriate depth to accommodate
the following:
– All of the system components.
– All of the mounting kits and associated rails.
– Any additional rack-mounted PDUs.
For more information regarding component dimensions, refer to
• System weight—Select a rack mounting solution that can withstand the following:
– The static loads required for a base system.
– The dynamic loads required if a system will be moved from the installation location.
– The load from scale up kits that could be added after initial installation.
For more information regarding component dimensions, refer to
• Cable management—The system is designed so the cables are wired at the back of the system.
Ensure that the system cabling can be routed safely and efficiently through the selected route.
• Grounding—Ensure that both the electrical components used to power the system and the rack itself
can be grounded safely.
2.4 Delivery route inspection
During the receiving process, the system will need to be moved through the facility until it reaches the data
center or computer room where it will be installed. This section describes the considerations that the
installation team should make before receiving the system and moving it through the facility.
