Power requirements
The input current, power (VA), and dissipation per enclosure listed in this document are
based on measurements of fully configured enclosures under worst-case operating
conditions. Use the operating maximum values to plan the configuration of your storage
system. These values represent either:
l values for a single power supply line cord, or
l the sum of the values shared by the line cords of the combined power supplies in the
same enclosure, with the division between the line cords and supplies at the current
sharing ratio (approximately 50% each).
A failure of one of the combined power supplies per enclosure results in the remaining
power supply supporting the full load. You must use a rackmount cabinet or rack with
appropriate power distribution, and have main branch AC distribution that can handle
these values for each enclosure in the cabinet.
EMC provides a power and weight calculator at http://powercalculator.EMC.com. Use this
calculator to refine the power and heat values in Table 1 on page 2, to more-closely
match the hardware configuration for your system.

Note

The power calculator only supports products with an input voltage range of 200-240V AC.

Optical cabling to a switch or server
Optical cables connect the small form-factor pluggable (SFP) modules on the storage
processors (SPs) to an external Fibre Channel or 10 Gb Ethernet environment. EMC
strongly recommends the use of OM3 50 μm cables for all optical connections.

The maximum length listed in the table above for the 50 μm or 62.5 μm optical cables
includes two connections or splices between the source and the destination.

NOTICE

EMC does not recommend mixing 62.5 μm and 50 μm optical cables in the same link. In
certain situations you can add a 50 μm adapter cable to the end of an already installed
62.5 μm cable plant. Contact your service representative for details.

Twinaxial cabling for 10 Gigabit Ethernet environments

Active twinaxial copper cables include small form factor pluggable (SFP) modules at
either end. They connect Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) modules to FCoE switches, or
10 GbE / iSCSI modules to an external iSCSI environment.
The twinaxial cables are shielded, quad-construction style, 100Ω differential; the SFP
connectors comply with SFF-8431 and SFF-8472 standards. Transmit and receive ends
include active components to facilitate 10 GbE transmission. EMC offers various lengths
from 1 meter to 15 meters; wire gauges range from 24 to 30 with cable length.

Network cabling
Storage systems with 1 GbE iSCSI data ports use standard Ethernet LAN cables from the
LAN (iSCSI data) ports (RJ45 connectors) on each SPData Mover to the external network
environment. For distances up to 100 meters, Category 5E cables are the commonly used
gigabit Ethernet standard; the system also supports CAT 5 and CAT 6 cables. EMC
recommends CAT 6 LAN cables whenever possible.

 Technical Specifications and Operating Limits

System operating limits

The ambient temperature specification is measured at the front bezel inlet. The site must
have air conditioning of the correct size and placement to maintain the specified ambient
temperature range and offset the heat dissipation listed below.

Table 6 System operating limits

Requirement Description
Ambient temperature 10°C to 40°C (50°F to 104°F)

Temperature gradient 10°C/hr (18°F/hr)

Relative humidity (extremes) 20% to 80% noncondensing

Relative humidity (recommended) 40% to 55% noncondensing

Elevation -16 to 3,048 m (-50 to 10,000 ft)

Note

The allowable relative humidity level is 20 to 80% noncondensing. However, the recommended
operating environment range is 40 to 55%. To minimize the risk of hardware corrosion and
degradation, we recommend lower temperatures and humidity for data centers with gaseous
contamination such as high sulfur content. In general, the humidity fluctuations within the data
center should be minimized. We also recommend that the data center be positively pressured
and have air curtains on entry ways to prevent outside air contaminants and humidity from
entering the facility. For facilities below 40% relative humidity, we recommend grounding straps
when contacting the equipment to avoid the risk of Electrostatic discharge (ESD), which can harm
electronic equipment.

NOTICE

For systems mounted in a cabinet, the operating limits listed above must not be
exceeded inside the closed cabinet. Equipment mounted directly above or below an
enclosure must not restrict the front-to-rear airflow of the storage system. Cabinet doors
must not impede the front-to-rear airflow. The cabinet must exhaust air at a rate that is
equal to or greater than the sum of the exhaust rates of all the equipment mounted in the
cabinet.

Environmental recovery
If the system exceeds the maximum ambient temperature by approximately 10°C (18°F),
the SPs begin an orderly shutdown that saves cached data, and then shut themselves
down. Link control cards (LCCs) in each DAE power down their disks but remain powered
on. If the system detects that the temperature has dropped to an acceptable level, it
restores power to the SPs and the LCCs restore power to their disk drives.

Air quality requirements

EMC products are designed to be consistent with the requirements of the American
Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Environmental

System operating limits 7

 Standard Handbook and the most current revision of Thermal Guidelines for Data
Processing Environments, Second Edition, ASHRAE 2009b.
EMC cabinets are best suited for Class 1 datacom environments, which consist of tightly
controlled environmental parameters, including temperature, dew point, relative
humidity and air quality. These facilities house mission-critical equipment and are
typically fault-tolerant, including the air conditioners.
The data center should maintain a cleanliness level as identified in ISO 14664-1, class 8
for particulate dust and pollution control. The air entering the data center should be
filtered with a MERV 11 filter or better. The air within the data center should be
continuously filtered with a MERV 8 or better filtration system. In addition, efforts should
be maintained to prevent conductive particles, such as zinc whiskers, from entering the
facility.
The allowable relative humidity level is 20 to 80% non condensing, however, the
recommended operating environment range is 40 to 55%. For data centers with gaseous
contamination, such as high sulfur content, lower temperatures and humidity are
recommended to minimize the risk of hardware corrosion and degradation. In general,
the humidity fluctuations within the data center should be minimized. It is also
recommended that the data center be positively pressured and have air curtains on entry
ways to prevent outside air contaminants and humidity from entering the facility.
For facilities below 40% relative humidity, it is recommended to use grounding straps
when contacting the equipment to avoid the risk of Electrostatic discharge (ESD), which
can harm electronic equipment.
As part of an ongoing monitoring process for the corrosiveness of the environment, it is
recommended to place copper and silver coupons (per ISA 71.04-1985, Section 6.1
Reactivity), in airstreams representative of those in the data center. The monthly
reactivity rate of the coupons should be less than 300 Angstroms. When monitored
reactivity rate is exceeded, the coupon should be analyzed for material species and a
corrective mitigation process put in place.
Storage time (unpowered) recommendation: do not exceed 6 consecutive months of
unpowered storage.

Fire suppressant disclaimer

Always install fire prevention equipment in the computer room as an added safety
measure. A fire suppression system is the responsibility of the customer. When selecting
appropriate fire suppression equipment and agents for their data center, choose
carefully. Your insurance underwriter, local fire marshal, and local building inspector are
all parties that you should consult during the selection a fire suppression system that
provides the correct level of coverage and protection.
EMC designs and manufactures equipment to internal and external standards that
require certain environments for reliable operation. EMC does not make compatibility
claims of any kind nor does EMC provide recommendations on fire suppression systems.
EMC does recommend that you do not position storage equipment directly in the path of
high pressure gas discharge streams or loud fire sirens so as to minimize the forces and
vibration adverse to system integrity.
