Site Preparation and Planning
This manual describes the facility planning requirements for installing a Sun
StorEdge™ 3900 or 6900 series system.
To determine the total components and storage systems your shipment will include,
consult your local Sun sales representative.
Planning Overview
Follow the guidelines as outlined in this document when planning your installation.
■ “Customer Obligations” on page 3
■ “Local Facility Safety” on page 3
■ “Facility Requirements” on page 4
■ “Cabling Requirements” on page 9
For a product overview and installation instructions, refer to the Sun StorEdge 3900
and 6900 Series Version 1.1 Installation Manual. This document and a broad selection
of other Sun system documentation is located at the following web sites:

Customer Obligations
The customer is obliged to inform Sun Microsystems, Inc. of any and all ordinances
and regulations that affect the installation. The customer is responsible for meeting
all government codes and regulations concerning facilities. The customer is also
responsible for compliance with the following requirements:
1. All local, national, and international codes covered in this specification. The
subjects covered include fire and safety, building, and electrical codes.
2. Document and inform Sun Microsystems, Inc. of any deviations from this
specification.
Local Facility Safety
Install the Sun StorEdge 3900 and 6900 series systems in accordance with the local
safety codes and regulations at the facility site. Make sure you read the safety
precautions in the Sun StorEdge 3900 and 6900 Series 1.1 Regulatory and Safety
Compliance Manual. The following sections contain additional safety information for
the local facility:
■ “Handling Precautions” on page 3
■ “Secure Installation Requirements” on page 4
■ “Placement of a Sun Product” on page 4
Note – Do not make mechanical or electrical modifications to the equipment. Sun
Microsystems, Inc. is not responsible for regulatory compliance of a modified Sun
product.
Handling Precautions
Caution – A fully configured storage system cabinet can weigh in excess of 1400
pounds (627 kg). Any floor that this system will cross must be able to withstand this
load.
3
The cabinet is equipped with wheels so that you can move it. Use enough personnel
when moving the cabinet, especially on sloping loading docks and ramps, to gain
access to a raised computer room floor. Move the cabinet slowly and deliberately,
and make sure the floor is free of foreign objects and cables that the cabinet could
roll over.
All personnel who are moving the cabinet should wear protective footwear.
Secure Installation Requirements
To minimize personal injury in the event of a seismic occurrence, you must securely
fasten the cabinet to a rigid structure extending from the floor to the ceiling, or from
the walls, of the room in which the cabinet is located.
Install the cabinet on a level surface. At each corner, on the base of the cabinet, are
adjustable nonskid pads. These must be extended when the cabinet is installed to
prevent the cabinet from rolling. These pads are not to be used to level the cabinet.
Placement of a Sun Product
If you have ordered a Sun StorEdge 3960 or 6960 series without the second cabinet,
make sure you allow enough room to install a second cabinet in the event that you
want to expand your system.
Do not block or cover the openings of your Sun product. Never place a Sun product
near a radiator or heat register. Failure to follow these guidelines can cause
overheating and affect the reliability of your Sun product.
Air cools the Sun StorEdge 3900 and 6900 series cabinets from front to back. Air
enters at the front, circulates, and is expelled at both the top and bottom rear of the
unit. The front and rear door clearances provide sufficient space for cooling. See
TABLE 5 and TABLE 6 for specific clearance specifications.
Facility Requirements

the Sun StorEdge 3900 and 6900 series:

Environmental Specifications

80.6˚F (27˚C) maximum wet bulb
Altitude -1000 to 10,000 feet
(-305 to 3,048 meters)
Avoid temperature extremes and keep the work area clean. Maintain the operating
conditions described the following table. The storage system should be in a
computer room environment that provides control over environmental factors such
as temperature, humidity, and airborne dust. A computer room installation can also
help protect equipment from fire, flood, or other danger originating in the building.

The operating environmental limits in
TABLE 1 reflect what the systems have been
tested to, in order to meet all functional requirements. The optimum operating
condition in
TABLE 2 is the recommended operating environment. Operating
computer equipment for extended periods of time at or near the temperature or
humidity extremes is known to significantly increase the failure rate of hardware
components. In order to minimize any chance of down-time due to component
failure, it is strongly recommended that customers plan and use the optimal
temperature and humidity ranges.
Electrical and Power Specifications
All Sun StorEdge 3900 and 6900 series require two independent power sources. Each
storage system cabinet has two power conditioners (distribution) for redundancy,
which are mounted in the base of the cabinet. To maintain the power redundancy,
each conditioner must be connected to independent power sources.

The following is recommended for all installations:
■ All AC mains and supply conductors to power distribution boxes for both the
cabinet system and the desktop system must be enclosed in metal conduit or
raceway, when specified by local, national, and/or other applicable government
codes and regulations. The supply conductors and power distribution boxes (or
equivalent metal enclosure) must be grounded at both ends.
■ The supplied storage systems require voltages within minimum fluctuation. The
facilities voltage supplied by the customer/end user must maintain a voltage of
not more than (+/-) 5%.
■ The customer facilities must provide suitable surge protection.

Cabling Requirements
This section contains the cabling requirements for the Sun StorEdge 3900 and 6900
series. When cabling the system, make sure you follow these guidelines:
■ Keep power and interface cables clear of foot traffic. Route cables inside walls,
under the floor, through the ceiling, or in protective channels or raceways. Route
interface cables (excluding fiber-optic cables) away from motors and other sources
of magnetic or radio frequency interference.
■ Do not exceed cable length limitations. The following table gives the cable
specifications and lengths.
