Power supply LEDs Power redundancy is achieved through two independent load-sharing power supplies. In the event of a power supply failure, or the failure of the power source, the storage system can operate continuously on a single power supply. Greater redundancy can be achieved by connecting the power supplies to separate circuits. DC power supplies are equipped with a power switch. AC power supplies may or may not have a power switch (model shown below has no power switch).

B Environmental requirements and specifications Safety requirements Install the system in accordance with the local safety codes and regulations at the facility site. Follow all cautions and instructions marked on the equipment. Also, refer to the documentation included with your product’s ship kit. Site requirements and guidelines The following sections provide requirements and guidelines that you must address when preparing your site for the installation.
Weight and placement guidelines Refer to Physical requirements on page 75 for detailed size and weight specifications. • The weight of an enclosure depends on the number and type of modules installed. • Ideally, use two people to lift an enclosure. However, one person can safely lift an enclosure if its weight is reduced by removing the power supply modules and disk drive modules. • Do not place enclosures in a vertical position. Always install and operate the enclosures in a horizontal orientation.
NOTE: Connections to this device must be made with shielded cables – grounded at both ends – with metallic RFI/EMI connector hoods, in order to maintain compliance with FCC Rules and Regulations. Physical requirements The floor space at the installation site must be strong enough to support the combined weight of the rack, controller enclosures, drive enclosures (expansion), and any additional equipment.
