Specifications
This section provides site specifications for the storage expansion enclosure. Before installing a storage
expansion enclosure, you must either verify that your planned installation site meets these requirements,
or prepare the site so that it does meet these requirements. Preparations might involve meeting area
requirements, environmental requirements, and electrical requirements for storage expansion enclosure
installation, service, and operation.
Area requirements
The floor space at the installation site must provide enough strength to support the weight of the storage
subsystem and associated equipment; sufficient space to install, operate, and service the storage
subsystem; and sufficient ventilation to provide a free flow of air to the unit.
Dimensions
The DCS3700 conforms to the 19-inch rack standard. Table 3 shows the dimensions of the DCS3700, with
all components installed including the bezel.
