Server Installation Information
Overview of the Exadata Server X10M installation procedure.
Receiving and Unpacking Requirements
When the server is unloaded at your site:
• Leave the server in its shipping carton until it arrives at its installation location.
• Use a separate area to remove the packaging material to reduce particle contamination
before the server is taken to the data center.
• Ensure that there is enough clearance and clear pathways to move the server from the
unpacking area to the installation location.
• Ensure that the entire access route to the installation location is free of raised-pattern
flooring that causes vibration.
Maintenance Space Requirements
The maintenance area for the rackmounted Exadata Server X10M must have the required
access space. The following table lists the maintenance access requirements for the server
when it is installed in a rack.
Table C-1 Maintenance Space Requirements
Location Maintenance Access Requirement
Back of the server 91.4 cm (36 inches)
Area above the rack 91.4 cm (36 inches)
Front of the server 123.2 cm (48.5 inches)
Rack Space Requirements
Exadata Server X10M is a 2U server. For physical dimensions, see Server Physical
Specifications.
You can install the server into a four-post rack cabinet that conforms to ANSI/EIA 310-D-1992
or IEC 60297 standards, such as Oracle Rack Cabinet 1242. See Rack Compatibility.
The minimum ceiling height for the cabinet is 230 cm (90 inches), measured from the true
floor or raised floor, whichever is higher. An additional 91.4 cm (36 inches) of ceiling height is
required for top clearance. The space above the cabinet and its surroundings must not
restrict the movement of cool air between the air conditioner and the cabinet, or the
movement of hot air coming out of the top of the cabinet.
