CHAPTER 1 Planning for the Installation This chapter describes the requirements for preparing the customer site for installation of Sun Storage 2500-M2 Arrays. It contains the following sections: Customer Obligations on page 1 Safety Information on page 1 Customer Obligations The customer is obliged to inform Oracle Corporation of any and all ordinances and regulations that might affect the installation. The customer is responsible for meeting all government codes and regulations concerning facilities. The customer is also required to do the following: Comply with all local, national, and international codes covered in this specification. The subjects covered include fire and safety, building, and electrical codes. Document and inform Oracle Corporation of any deviations from this specification. Safety Information Install Sun Storage 2500-M2 Arrays in accordance with the local safety codes and regulations at the facility site. Make sure that you read the safety precautions in the Sun Storage 2500-M2 Arrays Regulatory and Safety Compliance Manual. The following sections contain additional safety information for the local facility: Handling Precautions on page 2 1
Secure Installation Requirements on page 2 Placement of a Product on page 2 Note Do not make mechanical or electrical modifications to the equipment. Oracle Corp. is not responsible for regulatory compliance of a modified product. Handling Precautions Caution A fully populated cabinet can weigh in excess of 1500 pounds (682 kg). Ensure that all surfaces this system will move over can withstand this load. The cabinet is equipped with wheels so you can move it. Use enough personnel when moving the cabinet, especially on sloped loading docks and ramps, to gain access to a raised computer room floor. Move the cabinet slowly and deliberately, and make sure that the floor is free from foreign objects and cables that the cabinet could roll over. Caution To avoid injury, wear protective footwear when moving a system. Secure Installation Requirements To minimize personnel injury in the event of a seismic occurrence, you must securely fasten the cabinet to a rigid structure extending from the floor to the ceiling, or from the walls, of the room in which the cabinet is located. Install the cabinet on a level surface. At each corner, on the base of the cabinet, are adjustable nonskid pads. Extend these pads when the cabinet is installed to prevent the cabinet from rolling. Do not use these pads to level the cabinet. Placement of a Product Allow enough room surrounding the cabinet for access to the cabinet and arrays for maintenance. 2 Site Preparation Guide August 2011
Caution Do not block or cover the openings of your product. Never place a product near a radiator or heat register. Failure to follow these guidelines can cause overheating and affect the reliability of your product. Air cools the system cabinets from front to back. Air enters at the front, circulates, and is expelled at the back of the cabinet. The front and back door clearances provide sufficient space for cooling. See Chapter 2 for specific clearance specifications. Chapter 1 Planning for the Installation 3

Site Wiring and Power The controller tray uses wide-ranging redundant power supplies that automatically accommodate voltages to the AC power source or the optional 48-VDC power source. The power supplies meet standard voltage requirements for both North American (USA and Canada) operation and worldwide (except USA and Canada) operation. They use standard industrial wiring with line-to-neutral or line-to-line power connections. Chapter 2 Sun Storage 2500-M2 Arrays Specifications 9
Note Power for the optional 48-VDC power configuration is supplied by a centralized DC power plant instead of the AC power source in the cabinet. Refer to the associated manufacturer s documentation for specific DC power source requirements. Consider the following information when preparing the array s installation site: Protective ground Site wiring must include a protective ground connection to the AC power source or the optional 48-VDC power source. Note Protective ground is also known as safety ground or chassis ground. Circuit overloading Power circuits and associated circuit breakers must provide sufficient power and overload protection. To prevent possible damage to the array, isolate its power source from large switching loads (such as airconditioning motors, elevator motors, and factory loads). Power interruptions The controller tray can withstand the following applied voltage interruptions (with or without an integrated uninterruptible power supply [UPS]): Input transient 50 percent of the nominal voltage Duration One-half cycle Frequency Once every 10 seconds Power failures If a total power failure occurs, the controller tray automatically performs a power-on recovery sequence without operator intervention after power is restored. Note When a power failure occurs, the controller tray uses battery power to back up the data that is in cache. 10 Site Preparation Guide August 2011
AC Power Input The AC power sources must provide the correct voltage, current, and frequency specified on the tray model and serial number label. The tray can run without interruption within the limits shown in TABLE 2-11. TABLE 2-11 Condition Tray AC Power Requirements Specification Input voltage 100-240V Input frequency 50 or 60Hz Input current 7.0-2.9A DC Power Input The DC power source must provide the correct voltage, current, and frequency specified on the array nameplate label and the serial number label. Nominal input voltages for the DC power source are as follows: Input voltage: 42 to -60VDC Operating current: 21.7 to 15.3A Controller Tray Power Factor Correction Power factor correction is applied within the power supply, which maintains the power factor of the controller tray at greater than 0.95 with nominal input voltage. Power Cords and Receptacles Sun Storage 2500-M2 Arrays are shipped with either two AC power cords or two DC power cords per tray, depending on the configuration ordered. AC Power Cords Each AC power cord connects one of the power supplies in a tray to an independent, external AC power source, such as a wall receptacle or a UPS. If you have a cabinet with internal power cabling, such as a ladder cord, you do not need the AC power cords that are shipped with the controller-drive tray. Chapter 2 Sun Storage 2500-M2 Arrays Specifications 11
DC Power Connector Cables Each 48-VDC power connector cable plugs into the DC power connector on the back of the controller tray. The three source wires on the other end of the power connector cable connect the tray to centralized DC power plant equipment, typically through a bus bar above the cabinet. Caution A qualified service person is required to make this DC power connection according to NEC and CEC guidelines. Caution Risk of electrical shock This unit has more than one power source. To remove all power from the unit, all DC MAINS must be disconnected by removing all power connectors from the power supplies. Two (optionally four) DC power connector cables are provided with each controller or expansion tray. Two DC power connectors are on the back of each tray s DC power supply if additional redundancy is required. Note It is not mandatory that the second DC power connection on the array s DC power supplies be connected. The second DC power connection is provided for additional redundancy only and may be connected to a second DC power bus. Battery Life For a fully rated battery backup unit (BBU) battery life, cell limitations are listed in TABLE 2-12.
