EMC Symmetrix DMX-3 Product Guide
Planning and Installation
The customer must make sure the site meets or exceeds the
specifications listed.
Layout and space
recommendations
Layout and space considerations are found in “System placement
options” on page 293.
“Floor load-bearing requirements” on page 295 defines important
floor load-bearing requirements. Failure to comply with these
requirements could result in severe damage to the Symmetrix DMX-3
system, the raised floor, the subfloor and the surrounding
infrastructure.
Before the Symmetrix DMX-3 bays are rolled into position in the
computer room, note how close the wheels are to the edge of the
cutout. If the Symmetrix system needs to be relocated, contact the
EMC Customer Support Center.
When moving the storage bay down an incline, the rear of the cabinet

When moving the storage bay up

Securing the system
If the system is to be secured to the floor for increased stability, use
Symmetrix DMX-3 Secure bracket kits. Contact your EMC Sales
Representative for more information.
