Room Requirements
3-2 Stratus ftServer 29x0, 49x0, and 69x0 Systems: Site Planning and Installation Guide (R786)
Fans clogged by dust fail to expel hot air, causing circuit boards to overheat and
fail.
Dust on circuit boards raises the temperature, thus reducing the component's
mean time between failure (MTBF).
Dust circulating in the room increases the risk of fire within the room by providing
potential combustible material within the environment.
Dust contamination on tape devices causes mis-reads and -writes, leading to
failure of attempts to back up and restore data.
Has sufficient floor space for external components.
Provides a table or desktop for external devices such as a telephone, external
monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
Each of these devices requires table or rack space.
Do not place a peripheral component on top of a system
cabinet.
Allows the system and peripheral devices to be placed within the room so that
power cords and communications cables will reach their respective power
receptacles, telephone jacks, and other connection points.
Provides communications cable connectors or patch panels as needed.
Provides two electrically separate grounded AC wall outlets, within reach of the
power cords from the system or PDUs, and, if used, UPS units. The lengths of
detachable power cords are listed in “Power Cords for ftServer Systems and
Peripheral Components” on page 2-7 and “PDU Power Cords” on page 2-9. If the
power cord must be hard-wired, consult an electrician to plan the length of the
power cord.
Provides grounded AC wall outlets for external components that do not connect to
a PDU.
Provides cutouts in the floor for routing cables, if the site has an elevated floor.
Contains space for future expansion.
Do not place the system in an area of high electrostatic
discharge. Static electricity may damage components. Do
