Drive Enclosure

Specifications

The specifications of the DS3300 are listed in Table 1 on page 4. This section
provides additional site specifications for the DS3300 storage subsystem. Before
you install the storage subsystem, you must either make sure that your planned
installation site meets these requirements or prepare the site so that it does meet
these requirements. Preparations might involve meeting area requirements,
environmental requirements, and electrical requirements for DS3300 storage
subsystem installation, service, and operation.

Area requirements

The floor space at the installation site must provide enough strength to support the
weight of the storage subsystem and associated equipment; sufficient space to
install, operate, and service the storage subsystem; and sufficient ventilation to
provide a free flow of air to the unit.

Dimensions

Figure 10 shows the dimensions of the DS3300, which conforms to the 19-inch rack
standard.
