Preparing the site
This section lists the floor space requirements and weight information for the
DS3200. For information about interface cables and connections, see Chapter 3,
“Cabling the storage subsystem,” on page 23.
The floor area at the installation site must provide the following conditions:
v Sufficient space to install the DS3200
v Enough stability to support the weight of the fully configured DS3200 and
associated systems (A fully configured DS3200 weighs 30 kg [66 lb].)
Make sure that all requirements, such as floor space, air conditioning, and electrical
service, have been met. Other site preparation activities include the following tasks:
v Make sure that there is enough room to move around the rack cabinet and install
the modules.
v Install uninterruptible-power-supply devices.
v If applicable, install host servers with SAS host bus adapters (HBAs), SAS
switches, or other devices.
v Route interface cables from the SAS HBA ports in the hosts or SAS switches to
the installation area.
v Route main power cords to the installation area.
