CHAPTER 1
Planning for the Installation
This chapter describes the requirements for preparing the customer site for
installation of Sun Storage 2500-M2 Arrays. It contains the following sections:
■“Customer Obligations” on page 1
■“Safety Information” on page 1
Customer Obligations
The customer is obliged to inform Oracle Corporation 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 Oracle Corporation of any deviations from this
specification.
Safety Information
Install Sun Storage 2500-M2 Arrays in accordance with the local safety codes and
regulations at the facility site. Make sure that you read the safety precautions in the
Sun Storage 2500-M2 Arrays Regulatory and Safety Compliance Manual.
The following sections contain additional safety information for the local facility:
■“Handling Precautions” on page 2

2Site Preparation Guide • August 2011
■“Secure Installation Requirements” on page 2
■“Placement of a Product” on page 2
Note – Do not make mechanical or electrical modifications to the equipment. Oracle
Corp. is not responsible for regulatory compliance of a modified 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.
Placement of a Product
Allow enough room surrounding the cabinet for access to the cabinet and arrays for
maintenance.

Chapter 1 Planning for the Installation 3
Caution – Do not block or cover the openings of your product. Never place a
product near a radiator or heat register. Failure to follow these guidelines can cause
overheating and affect the reliability of your 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.
