Environmental Requirements
The design of your environmental control system (such as computer room airconditioning units) must ensure that intake air to the system meets the requirements
specified in this section. Air enters the cabinet through the access panels and
through an air intake that is located underneath each cabinet. The exhaust air is
directed out the top of each cabinet. Overheating can occur if warm air is directed
underneath a cabinet or toward the access panels. The optimal parameters of
temperature and humidity shown in
for your equipment.
If the system is significantly colder [40°F(4°C) or colder] than the environment in
which you will install it, leave the system in its shipping crate (at its final
destination) for 24 hours to prevent thermal shock and condensation.
TABLE 1-1 will create the optimal environment
The remaining tables in this section provide air conditioning information for the
various components in the Sun Enterprise 10000 system. After determining your
configuration, use the tables to fill in the power and cooling section of the worksheet
in
TABLE 1-4. This will assist you in calculating your total system power consumption
(in watts) and the total amount system air conditioning required in British thermal
units (Btus). The amount of air conditioning required depends upon your
configuration.

1.1 Basic Cooling Requirements
The Sun Enterprise 10000 system uses CMOS technology. CMOS is a dynamic
technology with fast transient current characteristics. Site planning requirements are
listed for the measurable current spikes with allowances for the calculable current
spikes. These systems have been designed to accommodate future system
performance upgrades and to prevent system failure should one of the power
supplies fail.
The dynamics of the power dissipation depend on the application and configuration.
The dynamics described in this manual are based on a rigorous code condition set
that has been verified in a lab environment. During these tests, all measurements
were taken with the latest-technology, high-speed current probe connected to the 48volt side of the power supply. The numbers were then backed out to account for
efficiency loss and power factor correction.
From a power perspective, after the rigorous code is invoked, the system becomes
very sensitive to the code based on processor and memory activity interaction and
can cause the power to swing hundreds of watts in either direction. For site
planning, rigorous code numbers are employed because systems must be able to
handle these potential high current conditions.
1-2 Sun Enterprise 10000 System Site Planning Guide • March 2002
Note – I/O power should be calculated on the number and types of trays being
configured. These numbers represent the maximum requirements, and as such may
not represent your configuration. Refer to your peripherals documentation for
additional information.
After the wall power has been determined (based on the number of system boards),
the ambient maintenance and environmental control must be calculated. It is
important that the site is able to accommodate the appropriate global environmental
variations. The values provided in this manual account for these variations.
This manual provides specifications for half- and full-configured systems (
TABLE 1-3, and TABLE 1-4). TABLE 1-5 provides specifications for systems configured
TABLE 1-2,
with fewer power cords. This can lead to problems because there is no failsafe
mechanism to indicate that more power is needed as new components are added. To
assist future upgrades, always provide sufficient power and cooling, not just for the
purchased system boards, but for the total number of power cords to be used.
For example, if planning for four system boards, a minimum of three power cords
are required. However, three power cords can effectively provide power for up to
eight system boards. Therefore, provide enough power and cooling for the
maximum configuration permitted by the three power cords: eight system boards or
7.215 kVA. When upgrading beyond the eight system boards, additional power
supplies will be needed, which will require new site planning for power and
cooling.
Note – The power cords provided with all Sun products, including the Sun
Enterprise 10000 system, are not classified as “plenum-rated.” According to UL and
CSA guidelines, the provided power cords can be routed and connected under a
raised tile floor space used for cooling air if the air is cooled by a dedicated system
separate from that used for personnel comfort and breathing.

Facility Power Requirements
To prevent catastrophic failures, the design of your power system must ensure that
adequate power is provided to your Sun Enterprise 10000 system. All power circuits
that supply power to the Sun Enterprise 10000 system should be supplied by
dedicated electrical distribution panels. Electrical work and installations must
comply with applicable local, state, or national electrical codes.
Sun Microsystems makes every effort to minimize the effects of power failures and
interruptions to the hardware. However, if the computer equipment is subjected to
repeated power interruptions and fluctuations, it will be susceptible to a higher
component failure rate than would result from using a stable power source.
Consider installing an uninterruptable power supply (UPS) to reduce the possibility
of component failure.
2.1 Facility Power Quality Tolerances
The quality of the incoming power can be instrumental in maintaining appropriate
conditions and avoiding unplanned outages. Some factors affecting power quality
are listed below.
■ high frequency
■ high amplitude noise
■ high ground currents
■ low power factors
■ surges or sags in voltage
■ harmonic distortion
Numerous other factors can also affect correct functioning of electronic components.
TABLE 2-1 is a guide regarding the tolerances for power quality for the Sun Enterprise
10000 system.

Physical Specifications
This chapter describes Sun Enterprise 10000 system components and the weights
and dimensions of the packed and unpacked processor cabinet.
3.1 System Components
The Sun Enterprise 10000 system consists of one or more air-cooled cabinets that are
configured to meet customer-specified requirements. Minimum configurations use
only one cabinet which houses system components as well as peripherals. System
components include:
■ System board
■ SBus boards
■ Processor modules
■ Memory SIMMs
■ Centerplane
■ Centerplane support board
■ Control board
■ Power and cooling subsystems
Systems that are ordered with eight or less system boards may have any
combination of boards located in the front and rear of the chassis. If the boards are
not located in just one side of the chassis, then a full complement of fans, front and
rear, are required. The number of system boards determines how many processors,
memory, and I/O modules can be configured into the system. The Dual Grid Power
option (if installed) requires 8 AC input modules and 16 power supplies.
Multiple-cabinet configurations (
FIGURE 3-1) could include additional peripheral
cabinets. The only limiting factor for the number of peripheral cabinets is the
maximum permissible length of SCSI cabling. Peripheral cabinets house additional
I/O disk or tape subsystems. Additionally, each peripheral cabinet contains AC
distribution subsystems for use with the I/O subsystems.
3-1
To determine the space, cooling, and power requirements, determine what system
and I/O components will be used in your system. To begin the process of preparing
the site for your Sun Enterprise 10000 system, record your configuration on the
worksheet on
TABLE 1-4.
Sample configuration A
Sample configuration B
Sample configuration C
FIGURE 3-1 Sample Sun Enterprise 10000 System Cabinet Configurations
Note – Only one processor cabinet is used per system configuration; all other
cabinets are peripheral expansion cabinets. Additional peripheral expansion cabinets
may be used, provided SCSI cable length requirements are not compromised. The
processor cabinet may be located in any position within the system configuration.

Chapter 3 Physical Specifications 3-7
3.3 Raised-Floor Installations
The optimal raised-floor installation provides a convenient way to duct cooling air
and to route power and communication cabling. If planning to install your system
on a raised floor, ensure that sufficient cooling will be available to the system.
Note – The power cords provided with all Sun products, including the Product
Name, are not classified as “plenum-rated.” According to UL and CSA guidelines,
the provided power cords can be routed and connected under a raised tile floor
space used for cooling air if the air is cooled by a dedicated system separate from
that used for personnel comfort and breathing.
The computer room floor must be able to support the weight of the system cabinets
TABLE 3-1). Each cabinet rests on four feet that concentrate the weight of the
(see
cabinet on a small surface area.
Place perforated floor panels or floor grilles at the base of the system, directly under
it.
FIGURE 3-5 illustrates the floor cutouts for cables and suggested locations for
perforated floor panels or floor grilles. Use the floor layout diagram of the proposed
location shown in
Note – For best performance, maximize the amount of cool air that is below the air-
intake screen.
FIGURE 3-5 to determine the exact area required.
The raised-floor height should be at least 12 in. (305 mm). If you have questions
concerning the structural capabilities of your floor, contact a qualified structural
engineer. If you are not installing your system on a raised floor, use flat cable covers
to protect cables and to protect personnel from a tripping hazard.

3.4 Planning Your Access Route
If your existing loading dock meets height or ramp requirements for a standard
freight truck, you can use a pallet jack to unload the system. If not, you must
provide a standard forklift
request the system be shipped in a truck with a lift gate.
See
FIGURE 3-2 for an illustration of the Sun Enterprise 10000 system cabinet shipping
crate and its dimensions. Other cabinets will be shipped in separate crates. A pallet
jack is required to move each shipping crate to the system location.
Leave each system cabinet in its shipping crate until it reaches its final destination. If
the crate does not fit through the planned access route, you can partially disassemble
the crate.
The entire access route to your computer room should be free of raised floor patterns
that could cause vibration. The access route must meet the following requirements.

Network Planning
This section provides sample network configurations and details for setting up
domains.
4.1 Network Connections
The Sun Enterprise 10000 system requires 10BASE-T or 100BASE-T Ethernet
connections on the customer network for the SSP and each host domain.
Additional Ethernet connections will be required if any of the following Sun
Enterprise 10000 options are ordered:
■ Optional redundant control board
■ Optional redundant SSP
■ Additional domains
■ Alternate pathing (AP)
To prevent general purpose Ethernet traffic from negatively affecting the SSP-to-Sun
Enterprise 10000 system host communication, comply with the following
configuration rules:
■ Connect the SSP and control boards by a private 10BASE-T network (separate
subnets). This will connect the one (or two) SSPs with the one (or two) control
boards.
■ Connect the SSP and each of the host domains through a second network. To
facilitate net booting a domain from the SSP, the network between the domain
and the SSP must be either 10BASE-T or 100BASE-T Ethernet.
4-1
FIGURE 4-1, FIGURE 4-2, and FIGURE 4-3 illustrate three possible network
configurations. All configurations use the hubs that are packaged with the control
boards during manufacturing and the SSP that is pre-configured with an additional
quad Fast Ethernet card. However, customer networks and hubs are the site owner ’s
responsibility.

Demand Systems prior to COD installation. These documents can be obtained
from: http://esp.west/pubs/starfire_user/coddocs/cod.html
■ Is the internal email network at the customer site capable of routing email from
the main and spare SSPs to the Internet?
■ If not, contact Enterprise Services to perform on-site inspections of the COD
logs and forward them to the COD alias (COD_lic@sun.com).
Note – On-site inspections will be performed on a monthly basis by local Sun
Service personnel.
5.8 Access Route Requirements
■ Has an access route to the final system location been identified?
■ Does the access route satisfy the access requirements outlined in Section 3.4,
“Planning Your Access Route” on page 3-10?
■ Have provisions been made to cover irregular or engraved floor patterns along
the access route to reduce vibration?
■ Have personnel been assigned to unload the system during delivery?
■ Does the loading dock meet the standard freight truck requirements?
Trucks can be between 48 ft (14.6 m) and 61 ft (18.6 m) long, 8.5 ft (2.6 m) wide,
and 14 ft (4.3 m) high.
