CHAPTER 1
Planning for the Installation
This chapter describes the requirements for preparing the customer site for
installation of the Sun Storage J4200/J4400 array. It contains the following sections:
■“Customer Obligations” on page 1
■“Safety Information” on page 1
■“Site Wiring and Power Requirements” on page 3
Customer Obligations
The customer is obliged to inform Sun Microsystems, Inc. of any and all ordinances
and regulations that might affect the installation. The customer is responsible for
meeting all government codes and regulations concerning facilities. The customer is
also required to do the following:
■Comply with all local, national, and international codes covered in this
specification. The subjects covered include fire and safety, building, and
electrical codes.
■Document and inform Sun Microsystems, Inc. of any deviations from this
specification.
Safety Information
Install the Sun Storage J4200/J4400 array in accordance with the local safety codes
and regulations at the facility site. Make sure that you read the safety precautions in
the Sun StorageTek Regulatory and Safety Compliance Manual.
The following sections contain additional safety information for the local facility:

2Book Title without trademarks, or an abbreviated book title • May 2008
■“Handling Precautions” on page 2
■“Secure Installation Requirements” on page 2
■“Placement of a Sun Product” on page 3
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 populated cabinet can weigh in excess of 1500 pounds (682 kg).
Ensure that all surfaces this system will move over can withstand this load.
The cabinet is equipped with wheels so you can move it. Use enough personnel
when moving the cabinet, especially on sloped loading docks and ramps, to gain
access to a raised computer room floor. Move the cabinet slowly and deliberately,
and make sure that the floor is free from foreign objects and cables that the cabinet
could roll over.
Caution – To avoid injury, wear protective footwear when moving a system.
Secure Installation Requirements
To minimize personnel 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. Extend these pads when the cabinet is installed to prevent
the cabinet from rolling. Do not use these pads to level the cabinet.

Chapter 1 Planning for the Installation 3
Placement of a Sun Product
Allow enough room surrounding the cabinet for access to the cabinet and arrays for
maintenance.
Caution – 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 system cabinets from front to back. Air enters at the front, circulates,
and is expelled at the back of the cabinet. The front and back door clearances
provide sufficient space for cooling. See Chapter 2 for specific clearance
specifications.
Site Wiring and Power Requirements
The AC power distribution boxes cabinets use common industrial wiring. Consider
the following information when preparing the cabinet installation site:
■AC power source – The AC power source must provide the correct voltage,
current, and frequency specified on the module model and serial number label.
■Earth ground – Site wiring must include an earth ground connection to the AC
power source.
■Circuit overloading – Power circuits and associated circuit breakers must provide
sufficient power and overload protection. To prevent possible damage to the AC
power distribution boxes and other components in a cabinet, use an external,
independent power source that is isolated from large switching loads (such as air
conditioning motors, elevator motors, and factory loads).
■Module power distribution – All units attached to the two power strips inside a
cabinet must be auto-ranging between 180 and 264 VAC, 47-63 Hz.
■Power interruptions – A cabinet and modules will withstand the following
applied voltage interruptions (with or without an integrated uninterruptible
power supply [UPS]):
■Input transient – 0V for 1 cycle with no interruption
■Duration – 70 percent of nominal for 0.5 seconds and 0V for 5 seconds,
recoverable with user intervention
■Power failures – If a total power failure occurs, when power is restored the
modules within a cabinet automatically perform a power-up recovery.

CHAPTER 2
Cabinet and Rack Specifications
This chapter describes the physical, environmental, and electrical requirements for
the cabinets in which the Sun Storage J4200/J4400 array can be installed. This
chapter contains information for the following Sun cabinets:
■“Sun StorEdge Expansion Cabinet” on page 5
■“Sun Fire Cabinet” on page 9
■“Sun Rack 900/1000 Cabinets” on page 13
To ensure safe and proper operation of the system, and ease of maintenance, make
sure that all of these requirements have been met before beginning the installation of
the cabinet.
Sun StorEdge Expansion Cabinet
This section describes the physical, electrical, and environmental requirements for
the Sun StorEdge Expansion cabinet.
The floor area at the installation site must provide enough stability to support the
weight of the cabinet and installed trays, sufficient space for installation and
servicing of the cabinet and components, and sufficient ventilation to provide a
free flow of air to the cabinet.

Weight
The total weight of a populated Sun StorEdge Expansion cabinet depends on the
number and type of modules installed in the cabinet. TABLE 2-3 lists the weight of an
empty cabinet and the maximum weight of each J4200 component, and TABLE 2-4
lists the weight of an empty cabinet and the maximum weight of each J4400
component. Use these weights to estimate the total weight of your system, based on
the number of modules installed in the cabinet. Record the total weight in an easy-
to-find place to reference when checking flooring load or elevator weight
restrictions.
