Cooling
  • Redundant hot-swap cooling modules with self-regulating speeds and front-to-back cooling
  • Environmental monitoring system for automatically maintaining optimal ambient temperature
Electrical requirements
  • Redundant load-sharing hot-swap power supplies (450W); universal input (100V to 240V AC), power factor corrected
  • Maximum input current: 7.6A (100V to 127V) or 3.6A (200V to 240V)
  • Power usage: 300W typical continuous power, 400W maximum continuous power
  • Dual DB-9 serial ports for UPS systems
  • Frequency: 50Hz to 60Hz, single phase
Environmental requirements
  • Operating temperature: 50° to 95° F (10° to 35° C)
  • Storage temperature: -40° to 116° F ( -40° to 47° C)
  • Relative humidity: 5% to 95% noncondensing
  • Maximum thermal output: 1365 BTUs per hour
  • Maximum altitude: 10,000 feet
  • FCC Class A approved
Size and weight
  • 3U rack-optimized: 5.25 inches (13.3 cm) high by 17 inches (43.2 cm) wide by 18.4 inches (46.7 cm) deep
  • Fits EIA-310-D-compliant industry-standard 19-inch-wide four-post racks from 24 to 36 inches deep; deeper racks require third-party extender
  • 60-100 pounds (27-45 kg), depending on configuration (4)
  1. For hard drive capacity measurements, 1GB = 1 billion bytes and 1TB = 1 trillion bytes; actual formatted capacity less.
  2. Automatic rebuild requires a designated hot spare; not available for RAID level 0.
  3. Actual rates will vary depending on configuration and RAID level.
  4. Weight varies by configuration and manufacturing process.
