Chapter 1 Environment and Installation
Devices described in this manual should be installed in the standard equipment room.
1.1 Environment of Equipment Room
Power Supply System
The storage system is sensitive to the change of a voltage, and an excessively high or low voltage,
or a sudden change of the voltage may delete the data in the memory or even cause the damage
of the components. To avoid of such damage, you must ensure the power supply is stable and
grounded. You are recommended to use the UPS, or the multiple power supply if permitted.
Requirements:
The voltage should be in the range of 110 V to 220 V (allowed range is between -4% to
+4%), and the change must be in the range of 110 V to 220 V (allowed range is between
-15% to +15%); Frequency: 50 Hz to 60 Hz +/- 0.5 Hz;
Make correct neutral line and GND line connections, and the voltage between them must
be less than 1 V.
Grounding for AC power supply system: ensure the GND line is properly connected. The
grounding for the chassis is recommended.
Grounding for DC power supply system: the chassis must be properly grounded.
Connect all power cords before applying power to the redundant power supply module.
The storage system supports management for some UPS models.
Control of Working Environment
The over-high or over-low temperature and other unsatisfying installation and running
environment factors may cause failures of the chip and mechanical components of the device, and
thus they affect the stable and reliable running of the device as well as the data safety on the disks.
Please follow the measurements shown below to take proper measurements:
Use an air conditioner to control the temperature and the humidity at least 2 or 3 days
before installing the device.
The floor in the equipment room must be capable of loading more than 600 kg/m2, and
the height between the floor and the ceiling must be more than 2.7 m. The loading
capability of the rack can be computed in 10 kg/U, e.g., for a 4U chassis, the required
loading capability of the rack is 40 kg.
Ensure adequate air ventilation of the rack.
Close all the doors and windows to prevent the dust or use a dust-filtering ventilation
device. The dust particulate (≥ 5 μm) must be less than 18,000 particulate / (dm)³.
