Shock and vibration specications for IBM Storage Scale System 6000 enclosures
Table 12 on page 29 and Table 13 on page 29 provide the shock and vibration testing results for your
IBM Storage Scale System 6000 system.
Table 12. Shock testing results
Shock categories Test level Sweep rate of shocks
Operational 3.5 g 3 ms 1/2 Sine 5 shocks to machine base
Nonoperational 35 g trapezoidal pulse with ∆ V

A sine-on-random prole test was performed, which combined this vibration prole with 0.06 g peak sine,
dwells at 50 Hz and 60 Hz. These sine tests can be performed separately.

Powering on IBM Storage Scale System 6000
Powering on an IBM Storage Scale System 6000 by connecting cables
The following devices are needed to power on an IBM Storage Scale System 6000:
• IBM Storage Scale System 6000
• 4 power cables with C19 connectors
• 4 AC power sockets (for more information, see Table 5 on page 24)
• A monitor with a mini display-port cable
