of the rack on the slides. You must also consider the weight of any other device
that is installed in the rack. A crush hazard exists and can cause serious injury
should the rack tilt forward.
■ Check temperature
When the devices are installed in an equipment rack, the temperature must be
in the range of 5C (41F) to 40C (104F). Extreme fluctuations in temperature can
cause a variety of problems for the appliance.
■ Check ventilation
The equipment rack must provide sufficient airflow to the front of the devices to
maintain proper cooling. The rack must also include ventilation sufficient to
exhaust a maximum of 2550 BTUs (British Thermal Units)per hour for the
appliance. The rack that is selected and the ventilation that is provided must be
suitable to the environment in which the equipment is used.
■ Main AC power must be accessible
The AC power cord(s) is considered the main disconnect for the device and
must be readily accessible when installed. If the individual power cord(s) are
not readily accessible for disconnection, you must install an AC power disconnect
for the entire rack unit. This main disconnect must be readily accessible, and it
must be labeled as controlling power to the entire rack unit.
■ Grounding the rack installation
To avoid the potential for an electrical shock hazard, you must include a third
wire safety ground conductor with the rack installation. The rack itself must have
a proper grounding when device power cords are plugged into the AC outlet of
the rack. The devices must be plugged into a properly grounded AC outlet.
■ Overcurrent protection
The power supplies contain internal overcurrent protection. If power draw
increases, the power supplies shutdown. Hardware monitoring utilities such as
the NetBackup Appliance Web Console show alerts that indicate problems in
the power supply.
The following values are based on power supply ratings of the various devices.
NetBackup 5220/5230/5330 appliances (depending on power source input
current):
■ 100VAC to 127VAC @ 9.2A
■ 200VAC to 240VAC @ 4.4
NetBackup 5240 appliance (depending on power source input current):
■ 110VAC @ 5.05A
■ 220VAC @ 2.53A
