tray Notes
In a normal installation (data center/oce), the storage system is surrounded by
dierent elements from the following measuring conditions according to ISO,
such as noise sources other than the storage system (other devices), the walls and
ceilings that reect the sound. Therefore, the values described in the table do not
guarantee the acoustic level in the actual installation area.
■ Measurement environment: In a semi-anechoic room whose ambient
temperature is 23°C ±2°C
■ Device installation position: The controller chassis is at the bottom of the rack
and the drive tray is at a height of 1.5 meters in the rack.
■ Measurement position: 1 meter away from the front, rear, left, or right side of
the storage system and 1.5 meters high (at four points)
■ Measurement value: Energy average value of the four points (front, rear, left,
and right)
7. It is recommended to install the Hitachi Vantara storage system into a data center.
However, you can install the storage system into an oce space but the space
should be equipped with proper cooling systems and noise insulation. When you
are installing a storage system into a regular oce space, observe the following:
The cooling fans in the storage system are compact and the high rotational speed
of the cooling fan blades causes high-frequency noise.
VSP G130 controller chassis
Each controller chassis includes dual controllers equipped with internal components
such as a processor, single cache memory module (DIMMs), cache ash memory (CFM),
battery, fans. The front of the controller chassis provides a drive bay for loading 2.5-inch
or 3.5-inch SAS disk drives.
The controller has an Ethernet connection for out-of-band management using Device
Manager - Storage Navigator. If the data path through one controller fails, all drives
remain available to data hosts using a redundant data path through the other controller.
The controller is equipped with LED indicators for monitoring its operating conditions
and notifying possible component replacement.
