Specifications
The specifications of the DS3200 are listed in Table 1 on page 4. This section
provides additional site specifications for the DS3200 storage subsystem. Before
you install the storage subsystem, you must either make sure that your planned
installation site meets these requirements or prepare the site so that it does meet
these requirements. Preparations might involve meeting area requirements,
environmental requirements, and electrical requirements for DS3200 storage
subsystem installation, service, and operation.
Area requirements
The floor space at the installation site must provide enough strength to support the
weight of the storage subsystem and associated equipment; sufficient space to
install, operate, and service the storage subsystem; and sufficient ventilation to
provide a free flow of air to the unit.
Dimensions
Figure 10 shows the dimensions of the DS3200, which conforms to the 19-inch rack
standard.
Weight
The total weight of the storage subsystem depends on the number of installed
components. Table 3 lists the maximum and empty weights for the storage
subsystem in different configurations. Table 4 on page 14 lists the weight of each
component.
