Computer room requirements
The following computer room requirements provide service access and minimize physical disruption:
•
To ensure integrity of cables and connections, do not move racks that are secured (bolted) together after installation.
•
A minimum of 42 inches (107 cm) front and 30 inches (76 cm) rear clearance is required to provide adequate airflow and to allow for
system service.
Customer rack requirements
The array components are fully tested at the factory and then transferred to mini-racks for shipping. Only customer support engineers are
authorized to install the system into a customer rack. The original shipping rack, when empty, is returned after the installation is complete.
To ensure successful installation and secure component placement, customer racks must conform to the following requirements:
•
National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) standard for 19-inch cabinets.
•
Individual racks must be empty at the time of installation.
•
Threaded hole racks are not supported.
•
The cabinet must be in its final location with stabilizing (anti-tip) brackets installed.
•
A separate rack that supports a minimum 1,300 lb/590 kg of equipment weight must be provided for each system bay.
NOTE:
The customer must ensure floor load bearing requirements are met.
•
Components and cables installed in customer racks must conform to these configuration rules:
○
The stack up must adhere to the standard configuration. Components and cables within a system bay can not be moved to
available space in a different bay, or to a different location within the same bay.
○
The system must be properly positioned in accordance with physical placement rules.
•
The internal depth with the front and rear doors closed must meet minimum requirements for either rear-facing or inward-facing
PDUs. This measurement is from the front surface of the NEMA rail to the rear door.
○
Rear-facing PDUs: Minimum 42" depth
○
Inward-facing PDUs: Minimum 44" depth
•
Round or square channel openings must support M5 screws that secure rails and components. Clip nuts are provided as required.
•
Non-dispersed rack-to-rack pass-through cable access at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) in diameter must be available via side panels or
horizontal through openings.
•
To ensure proper clearance and air flow to the array components, customer supplied front doors and standard bezels, if used, must
include a minimum of 2.5 inch (6.35 cm) clearance between the back surface of the door to the front surface of the vertical NEMA
rails.
Front and rear doors must also provide:
○
A minimum of 60% (evenly distributed) air perforation openings.
○
Appropriate access for service personnel, with no items that prevent front or rear access to Dell EMC components.
○
Exterior visibility of system LEDs.
