Replication
Engines (optional)
2U An Oracle FS System supports a total
of eight Replication Engines. The
number of Replication Engines
depends on customer requirements
and the type of replication. While a
single engine is sucient for
replication, Oracle recommends
having at least two engines for
redundancy purposes.
Filler panels
(optional)
•
1U
•
2U
The number of ller panels depends
on how many empty rack unit (RU)
slots exist in the rack.
Power distribution
units (PDUs)
Unless using Oracle
PDUs, PDUs are the
responsibility of the
customer or third party
rack vendor.
Oracle PDUs are integrated into the
rack. Non-Oracle PDUs might or
might not be integrated into the rack.
Racks Standard four-post racks
(42U).
The number of racks depends on the
number and the distribution of the
hardware components. A minimum of
1 rack and a maximum of 4 racks can
be used.
The PDUs used in a not-racked Oracle FS System installation must provide
redundancy for both external AC power source and internal AC power
distribution to the components. The PDUs must provide sucient current to
meet the sum of the requirements for the Oracle FS System components.
Oracle PDUs might be purchased for use with non-Oracle racks. The Oracle FS
System component power cords have been designed to work with vertical style
Oracle or third party PDUs. Non-Oracle PDUs must be compatible with Oracle
component power cord lengths and plug types. Non-Oracle PDUs must be
mounted in a manner such that the power cords provided by Oracle might be
used and the PDUs do not obstruct the ability to replace eld replaceable units
(FRUs) and customer serviceable units (CRUs).
While planning rack-space, ensure that adequate space is also allocated for the
PDUs, if using non-Oracle PDUs.
Note: Typically, enterprise class products like the Oracle FS System do not use a
UPS and rely on generator backed power supply in the data centers. However, if
you use a UPS, it must be based on the maximum waage requirements of the
sum total of all the Oracle FS System components. The UPS, if used, should
conform to the APC PowerNet MIB specications so that it can send SNMP traps
