Preface

The Sun Enterprise 10000 System Site Planning Guide helps management and site preparation personnel identify suitable environments for the Sun Enterprise™ 10000 system. It describes configurations, electrical requirements, power consumption, environmental requirements, and remote support equipment.

Due to the amount of time required to plan and properly prepare a site for installation of a Sun Enterprise 10000 system, you must fulfill all of the requirements outlined in this manual before your equipment arrives. Your Sun Microsystems™ account manager is available to help. Use installation.

Once the site is prepared, your account manager will physically verify the site while completing the site planning checklists in Chapter 5.

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.
