IP Storage Router SR2122-2 User Guide
Site Planning
Planning the proper location and layout of your SR2122-2, your equipment rack,
or wiring closet is essential for successful storage router operation. Equipment
placed too close together or in a poorly ventilated area can cause the system to
overheat. In addition, poor equipment placement can make system panels
inaccessible and difficult to maintain.
in Appendix A lists the operating and nonoperating environmental site
requirements for the SR2122-2. Within specified environmental ranges, the
system can continue to operate; however, a measurement that approaches the
minimum or maximum of a range indicates a potential problem. You can maintain
normal operation by anticipating and correcting environmental conditions before
they exceed the maximum operating range.
Verify the site power for the type of device you are installing. Power requirements
are useful for planning the power distribution system needed to support the
storage router. Heat dissipation is an important consideration for sizing the
air-conditioning requirements for an installation. See
in Appendix A for
power and heat ratings for the SR2122-2.
Caution:
To prevent a loss of input power, verify that the total maximum load
on the circuit supplying power to the power supply is within the current ratings
of the wiring and breakers.
