Placement
The Sun StorEdge MultiPack enclosure weighs up to 30 lbs (13.6 kg) when loaded
with disk drives. Choose a location that is relatively permanent.
Keep cable lengths in mind. For UltraSCSI operation, the cable you connect to the
UltraSCSI capable on-board host port of your computer must be no longer than .8
meters. You can connect a 2-meter cable to an UltraSCSI host bus adapter.
For narrow or fast wide operation, or when daisy chaining peripherals, the SCSI bus
length is limited to 6 meters (20 feet) on each bus. See Appendix A for tables of SCSI
bus lengths.
Place the Sun StorEdge MultiPack enclosure on its feet.
Because the drive replacement panel opens at the left side of the unit, place the Sun
StorEdge MultiPack box (front facing you) at the left side of your computer, or
where the panel can open freely.
Leave three or more inches of space in front of the air vents on both the Sun
StorEdge MultiPack enclosure and your computer.
