Symmetrix DMX-3
configuration floor
cutouts
Several DMX-3 configurations are available. Figure 72 on page 297
illustrates the configuration and the recommended floor tile cutouts
for a system bay and eight storage bays. To build a smaller system,
remove storage bays as necessary around the system bay. The
illustrations assume that the floor tiles are 24 x 24 in. (61 x 61 cm).
Also refer to Chapter 6 in the physical planning guide, which
contains tables and configuration illustrations that show bays needed
for various DMX-3 configurations.
