SAN Volume Controller 2145-CF8 environment requirements

Before you install a SAN Volume Controller 2145-CF8 node, your physical environment must meet certain requirements. This includes verifying that adequate space is available and that requirements for power and environmental conditions are met.

Input-voltage requirements

Ensure that your environment meets the voltage requirements that are shown in Table 1.

Table 1. Input-voltage requirements
Voltage	Frequency
200 - 240 V single phase ac	50 or 60 Hz

Attention:

If the uninterruptible power supply is cascaded from another uninterruptible power supply, the source uninterruptible power supply must have at least three times the capacity per phase and the total harmonic distortion must be less than 5%.
The uninterruptible power supply also must have input voltage capture that has a slew rate of no more than 3 Hz per second.

Power requirements for each node

Ensure that your environment meets the following power requirements.

Ensure that your environment meets the power requirements as shown in Table 2.

Table 2. Power requirements for each node
Components	Power requirements
SAN Volume Controller 2145-CF8 node and 2145 UPS-1U power supply	200 W

Notes:

SAN Volume Controller 2145-CF8 nodes cannot connect to all revisions of the 2145 UPS-1U power supply unit. The SAN Volume Controller 2145-CF8 nodes require the 2145 UPS-1U power supply unit part number 31P1318. This unit has two power outlets that are accessible. Earlier revisions of the 2145 UPS-1U power supply unit have only one power outlet that is accessible and are not suitable.
For each redundant AC-power switch, add 20 W to the power requirements.
For each high-speed SAS adapter with one to four flash drives, add 50 W to the power requirements.

Circuit breaker requirements

The 2145 UPS-1U has an integrated circuit breaker and does not require additional protection.

Environment requirements without redundant AC power

If you are not using redundant ac power, ensure that your environment falls within the ranges that are shown in Table 3.

Table 3. Environment requirements without redundant AC power
Environment	Temperature	Altitude	Relative humidity	Maximum wet bulb temperature
Operating in lower altitudes	10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F)	0 - 914 m (0 - 2998 ft)	8% to 80% noncondensing	23°C (73°F)
Operating in higher altitudes	10°C to 32°C (50°F to 90°F)	914 - 2133 m (2998 - 6988 ft)	8% to 80% noncondensing	23°C (73°F)
Turned off	10°C to 43°C (50°F to 110°F)	0 - 2133 m (0 - 6988 ft)	8% to 80% noncondensing	27°C (81°F)
Storing	1°C to 60°C (34°F to 140°F)	0 - 2133 m (0 - 6988 ft)	5% to 80% noncondensing	29°C (84°F)
Shipping	-20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F)	0 - 10668 m (0 - 34991 ft)	5% to 100% condensing, but no precipitation	29°C (84°F)

Environment requirements with redundant AC power

If you are using redundant ac power, ensure that your environment falls within the ranges that are shown in Table 4.

Table 4. Environment requirements with redundant AC power
Environment	Temperature	Altitude	Relative humidity	Maximum wet bulb temperature
Operating in lower altitudes	15°C to 32°C (59°F to 90°F)	0 - 914 m (0 - 2998 ft)	20% to 80% noncondensing	23°C (73°F)
Operating in higher altitudes	15°C to 32°C (59°F to 90°F)	914 - 2133 m (2998 - 6988 ft)	20% to 80% noncondensing	23°C (73°F)
Turned off	10°C to 43°C (50°F to 110°F)	0 - 2133 m (0 - 6988 ft)	20% to 80% noncondensing	27°C (81°F)
Storing	1°C to 60°C (34°F to 140°F)	0 - 2133 m (0 - 6988 ft)	5% to 80% noncondensing	29°C (84°F)
Shipping	-20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F)	0 - 10668 m (0 - 34991 ft)	5% to 100% condensing, but no precipitation	29°C (84°F)

Preparing your environment

The following tables list the physical characteristics of the SAN Volume Controller 2145-CF8 node.

Dimensions and weight

Use the parameters that are shown in Table 5 to ensure that space is available in a rack capable of supporting the node.

Table 5. Dimensions and weight
Height	Width	Depth	Maximum weight
43 mm (1.69 in.)	440 mm (17.32 in.)	686 mm (27 in.)	12.7 kg (28 lb)

Additional space requirements

Ensure that space is available in the rack for the additional space requirements around the node, as shown in Table 6.

Table 6. Additional space requirements
Location	Additional space requirements	Reason
Left and right sides	50 mm (2 in.)	Cooling air flow
Back	Minimum: 100 mm (4 in.)	Cable exit
