■The heaviest devices in any equipment rack should be installed in the bottom
of the rack. If heavy devices are installed at the top of the rack, the rack may
tip over. Injury to personnel and damage to equipment is very possible. The
Storage Shelf is heavier than the appliance. Therefore, you must install the
storage shelf in the bottom of the rack. Install the appliance above the storage
shelves.
■Ensure that the rack is properly installed and grounded.
■The rack rails that are provided for the appliance are extensible to 31.5” (800mm).
The part number of these rails is AXXPRAIL. This distance is the maximum
depth that is allowed between rack posts. If the distance between rack posts is
longer than 31.5” (800mm) the rails and the appliance cannot be properly
installed. Other rails may have different lengths. The width of the appliance is
19” (482.6mm).
■The rack rails that are provided for the 3U16 storage shelf are extensible to 36”
(914mm). This distance is the maximum depth that is allowed between rack
posts. If the distance between rack posts is longer than 36” (914mm) the rails
and the appliance cannot be properly installed. The width of the 3U storage
shelf is 19” (482.6mm).
■Make sure that the installation location has extra space for the following:
14Preparing for hardware installation
3U16 storage shelf weights and dimensions

Front bezels and rack handles■
■Rear panel power supply latches
■Rear panel cable connectors
■Ensure that the rack is at least 100 cm (approximately 3 feet) away from the
walls.
■Ensure that the clearance between any racks is at least 120 cm (approximately
4 feet) for maintenance, adequate ventilation, and effective heat dissipation.
Data centers with two foot spaces in the front and in the back of the appliances
are acceptable with proper cooling and ventilation.
■Ensure that other equipment does not prevent air transfer between the cabinet
and the room. Adequate distance is necessary for cooling of the devices.
Power supply overview
The appliance and the 3U16 storage shelf each have two power modules, which
connect to the main AC power source. Both modules, on both devices, provide
redundant power in case of failure.
Two power cords are provided for each device. Connect each power cord to an
independent AC power source.
Caution: If multiple appliances are to be installed on site, check whether the power
distribution in your equipment room satisfies the power requirements. You should
include the maximum input power and the quantity of devices in your planning.

15Preparing for hardware installation
Power supply overview

Electrical safety
Use the following best practices to ensure that your environment has the correct
electrical setup.
■Verify proper grounding for the main AC power supply.
■Overcurrent and overload protection must be available for the entire system.
■The circuits and the associated circuit breakers must provide enough power
and overload protection.
■Separate the power supply from other large distribution loads or engines to
prevent possible damage to the appliance. Examples of systems that have a
large power draw include air-conditioners, elevators, or factory machines.
See “Power supply overview” on page 15.
Heat dissipation
This section describes heat dissipation requirements of the appliance and the
storage shelf. Before installing the devices, check whether the heat dissipation on
site satisfies the conditions for proper running of the device. For optimal
maintenance, ventilation, and heat dissipation, pay attention to the following when
installing the appliance and the storage shelf into the rack cabinet.
■For proper ventilation, the rack cabinet should be at least 100 cm (4 ft) away
from surrounding walls and at least 120 cm (4 ft) away from any other cabinet(s).
■To keep a convective air flow between the cabinet and the equipment room,
ensure there are no obstructions on all sides of the cabinet.
The applince takes in air from the front panel and circulates the air through the
system. Fans discharge air from the rear of the appliance. Air flows from front to
rear. The optional bezel can be installed on the front panel without any reduction
in air movement.
Checking the shipping packages
Before unpacking devices, check that the packages are intact and undamaged.
The appliance package should include the following items:
