72-Inch Cabinet Site Preparation
This chapter contains essential site preparation information for the 72-inch cabinet that
you will use to determine installation, service, and operating floor space requirements;
heating and air conditioning specifications; and voltage and power requirements.

Cabinet Features
The rackmount cabinet (Figure 1-1) has a detachable back door and standard Electronic
Industry Association (EIA) rails, which provide mounting holes for installing 19-inch wide
devices. The cabinet has four roller casters and four adjustable guides (located beneath the
cabinet) for moving and leveling the cabinet during installation and relocation. Newer
models of this cabinet have interface cable access holes on the top and a removable stability
foot that prevents the cabinet from tipping when it is moved.

You can customize the cabinet to meet your data storage needs, based on performance,
capacity, and availability requirements. The cabinet contains two AC power distribution
boxes and can support a combination of twelve modules. The cabinet will ship with a
maximum of three command modules installed.
The command module is a rackmount unit containing two controllers, a battery,
•
redundant cooling fans and power supplies.
The array module may contain up to fourteen drives, redundant fans and power
•
supplies, and two controllers.
The drive module may contain up to fourteen drives, redundant fans and power
•
supplies, and an Environmental Service Module (ESM).

Area Requirements
The floor area at the installation site must provide enough stability to support the weight
of the cabinet and installed devices, sufficient space to install and service the cabinet and
components, and sufficient ventilation to provide a free flow of air to the cabinet. Airflow
in the cabinet is from the front to back. See Figure 1-2 for more information.

Weights
The total weight depends on the type and quantity of modules installed in the cabinet.
Tab le 1 -1 lists the overall weight of the cabinet, plus the maximum weight for each module.
Use these weights to estimate the total weight of your system, based on the number of
modules installed in the cabinet.

Power Cords and Receptacles
The cabinet is shipped with two power cords: one for domestic (inside USA) use, the other
for international (outside USA) use. Each power cord connects to an independent 25 A
circuit breaker and an AC power distribution box. The AC power distribution box has two
outlets for connecting the power cords from modules installed in the cabinet to an
independent power source outside of the cabinet. Figure 1-6 shows these receptacles.
