1. Overview
1.1 Ultrastar Data60 Description
The Ultrastar Data60 is a 4U form factor, high availability, high density, rack-mounted storage enclosure
that is capable of hosting up to 60 SAS or SATA drives. The maximum data storage capacity of the Ultrastar
Data60 is 840 TB using 14TB HGST Ultrastar® HC530 drives . (For a full list of compatible drives and total
storage capacities, see the List of Compatible Drives (page 9).) The enclosure runs on an input voltage
of 200 - 240 VAC and consumes ~1000W of power under typical conditions. It requires a maximum of
~1250W at full load.
It is designed to fit within a 4U rack space and requires 900mm (35.43in.) usable rack space, frame to frame.
A fully loaded system will add 79.4 kg. / 175 lbs. of static load when fully loaded with drives.
•4U Storage Enclosure
•Supports up to 60 Drives
•Can support 3.5” drives and 2.5” SSD drives (2.5" requires an adapter) in the 60 available drive bays.
•Up to 12W per drive slot for the 60 data storage drives (Cannot exceed 85A on the 5V rail)
•House and control four (4) N+1 redundant 80mm rear fans
•House and control a dual rotor 40mm internal IOM Fan
•Controlled by two (2) redundant I/O Modules
•Powered by two (2) redundant 1600W PSUs
•Supports High Line (220-240 VAC) Input Power
•Full high availability with independent dual paths to all HDDs
•Toolless replacement of all Customer Replaceable Units (CRUs)
•Fits within a standard EIA-310 rack including all necessary cable management (see Compatible Rack
Hardware Configuration (page 7))
•Supports up to 3m passive SAS cables (limited to 3m or less) or active cables (any length) (see SAS
Cabling (page 58))

PSU)
Caution: The Ultrastar Data60 can only be plugged into high line (200 - 240 VAC) power. If
the unit is plugged into low line (110-127 VAC), the PSU will report a "Critical" state when status
pages are queried using SES. In this case, the enclosure will power up, but the drives will not.
The enclosure will remain in low-power mode.
AC line inrush current shall not exceed 40A peak, for up to
one-quarter of the AC cycle after which, the input current
should be no more than the specified maximum input current.

1.7 Ultrastar Data60 Rack Requirements
The Ultrastar Data60 is designed to be installed into a rack that meets the EIA-310 standard at a minimum
900mm (35.43in.) usable rack space, frame to frame. The vertical rack rails must be set between 24 in. 32 in. to support the enclosure. It requires 4U of rack space, and it should be installed into the rack at the
lowest possible U height to keep the load on the rack balanced.

Warning: When extended out of the rack on the rail system, the Ultrastar Data60 will be
~630mm / 24.8in. extended outward. This may be a potential tipping hazard depending on
the configuration of the rack. Ensure that leveling feet, anti-tilt, and any other safety features
recommended by the specific rack manufacturers have been deployed before servicing.
The following section provides specific information necessary to install, service, and remove the Ultrastar
Data60 . The installation of the Ultrastar Data60 requires two people and a space of 1270mm / 50in.
in front of the installation space. The servicing of the enclosure requires one person and a minimum of
863.6mm / 34in. of space in front of the installation space. The removal of the enclosure requires two
people, 914.4mm / 36in. of space in front of the installation space, and 24in. on either side of the enclosure
for two people to remove the enclosure.
Warning: The handles on the front of the chassis are not intended to be used to support the
weight of the Ultrastar Data60 . Lifting the unit by the chassis handles or trying to support the
unit on the handles can cause them to fail. This can cause serious damage to the unit or serious
bodily harm to those handling the unit. Always team lift the chassis by gripping the underside
of the unit, and never try to lift a chassis that is filled with drives.
