Service clearance requirements
The service clearance area is the area around the storage system that technical
service representatives need to service the system.
CAUTION:
Servicing of this product or unit is to be performed by trained personnel only.
(C032)
For DS8000 series, technical service representatives must open the front and rear
covers to service the storage system. Figure 18 on page 146 illustrates related
service clearance requirements:
v For the rear of the storage system ▌1▐, allow a minimum of 76.2 cm (30.0 in.) for
the service clearance.
v The length of the tailgate opening ▌2▐ on the storage system.
v For a single storage system installation (from the front of the storage system),
allow a minimum of 60.96 cm (24.0 in.) on the right side ▌3▐ in the aisle to the
front of the machine.
v For the front of the storage system ▌4▐, allow a minimum of 121.9 cm (48.0 in.)
for the service clearance.
v The leveling pads ▌5▐ and ▌6▐ on the storage system.
v The opening of the tailgate ▌7▐ on the storage system.
Unlike weight distribution areas that are required to handle floor loading, keep in
mind that service clearances of adjacent unrelated storage systems can overlap.
Note: The terms service clearance and weight distribution area are often confused with
each other. The service clearance is the area that is required to open the service
covers and to pull out components for servicing. The weight distribution area is
the area that is required to distribute the weight of the storage system.
