    Guard against directing warmed air toward the server access panels. The Sun Fire V1280 system can also be fitted with optional air filter cartridges, where required, to reduce the intake of dust particles. These can be fitted at the rear of the front doors and will require perdiodic cleaning or replacement.

    Though individual standards vary slightly, 21°C to 23°C should be used as an optimal recommendation. Sun Fire V1280 Site Preparation and Installation Guide • September 2002...

  • Page 25: Ambient Relative Humidity Recommendations

    2900W (10640 BTU/hr) 12P 96 Gbytes 3300W (11300 BTU/hr) The Sun Fire V1280 system has been designed to function while mounted in a natural convection airflow, but to meet the declared environmental specification the following rules apply. 1. Adequate airflow through the chassis must be ensured. The Sun Fire V1280 system uses internal fans that can achieve a total airflow of 400 cfm in normal operating conditions.

  • Page 26: Mechanical Considerations

    2. The inlet air must enter at the front of the Sun Fire V1280 chassis; the airflow exhausts from the rear of the chassis. 3. Ventilation openings for both the inlet and exhaust of the system should provide a minimum open area of 1030 cm (160 in ) each.

  • Page 27: Electrical Supply Installation

  • Page 31: Rack Guidelines

    C H A P T E R Rack Guidelines Sun Fire V1280 systems are shipped with a cradle, which protects the bottom of the chassis during transit and handling. The cradle must be removed once the Sun Fire V1280 system is installed in a rack, then stored in a safe place.

  • Page 32: Installation Requirements

    U boundary. Installation Requirements Vertical Space The Sun Fire V1280 chassis occupies 12RU (533.4 mm / 21 inches) of vertical height. Depth There must be a minimum of 570 mm (22.4 inches) usable internal depth in the rack or cabinet.

  • Page 33: Examples

    Examples 1. Minimum = 570 mm (22.4 inches) (refer to FIGURE 4-2 The ‘minimum’ depth is based upon no rack front door (to provide maximum airflow) and no cable Management Arm fitted (support for cable service loops provided by the installer) This is dependant upon the method of routing cables away from the rear of the system.

  • Page 35: Figure 4-4 Maximum Rack Depth Requirement

    3. Maximum = 848 mm (33.4 inches) The least desirable case, based upon using a rack with solid doors, 90 mm (3.54 inches) of plenum at the front of the system to act as a ventilation chimney and the CMA-800 Cable Management Arm fitted. Note this is also dependant upon a rack with an inset to the front mounting rails of 115 mm (4.5 inches).

  • Page 36: Service Access

    Service Access To allow full service access to the Sun Fire V1280 system, there are limits to vertical location within a rack. In a suitably stable four-post rack, two systems can be fitted; the first should be no lower than 254 mm (10 inches) above the floor. The second system can be mounted directly above this, but the top of the system should not exceed 1320mm (52 inches) above the floor.

  • Page 38: Loading

    The rack must be capable of supporting a static load of 107 kg (236 lb) for a fully configured Sun Fire V1280 system, or 214kg (472 lb) if two systems are installed. Dynamic load considerations are subject to site location and application.

  • Page 39: Safety

    270 mm (10.6 inches) from the front edge of the rack, or at least sufficiently to support the weight of the Sun Fire V1280 system when extended on its slides, in order to prevent instability during installation or service actions.
