5 Installation of the Disk Array Unit
5.1 Check the Floor Load
・
Verify that no floor loading problem will occur when the disk array unit is installed in the rack.
- Although the floor load is approximately 300kg/m
2
in an ordinary office and approximately 500 kg/m
2
in a
computer room, check the floor strength of the actual installation location and reinforce it if necessary.
- Check the load carrying capacity of the floor taking into consideration the disk array units installed in the
rack. Also, the weight that can be installed differs according to the rack that is used. Discuss this with the
operations or maintenance personnel in charge.

Sample calculation of the weight on the floor where the rack is located
Assumed conditions --- M100 1DAC+7DE case
Rack weight: 170 kg
Total weight of disk array units: (31kg+3kg) + (29kg+3kg) x 7 = 258kg
Installation area when a standalone rack is installed: 5.4 m
2
Total weight Installation area Unit load
(Rack Weight of installed units) (Including work area)
(170 kg + 258kg) ÷ 5.4 m
2
= 79.26 kg/m
2
Therefore, since this is less than 300 kg/m
2
, this configuration can be installed even in an ordinary office.
