Page 24: Radio Frequency Interference
Specifications Radio frequency interference Electro-magnetic fields, which include radio frequencies can interfere with the operation of electronic equipment. EMC Corporation products have been certified to withstand radio frequency interference (RFI) in accordance with standard EN61000-4-3. In Data Centers that employ intentional radiators, such as cell phone repeaters, the maximum ambient RF field strength should not exceed 3 Volts /meter. -
Page 25: Power Consumption And Heat Dissipation
Specifications Power consumption and heat dissipation EMC provides the EMC Power Calculator to refine the power and heat figures to more closely match your array. Contact your EMC Sales Representative or use the EMC Power Calculator for specific supported configurations. The following table provides calculations of maximum power and heat dissipation. -
Page 26: Adaptive Cooling
Specifications Adaptive cooling The systems apply adaptive cooling based on customer environments to save energy. Engines and DAEs access thermal data through components located within their enclosures. Based on ambient temperature and internal activity, they set the cooling fan speeds. As the inlet temperatures increase, the adaptive cooling increases the fan speeds, with the resulting platform power increasing up to the maximum values shown below. -
Page 27: Airflow
Specifications Airflow Systems are designed for typical hot aisle/cold aisle data center cooling environments and installation: On raised or nonraised floors. In hot aisle/cold aisle arrangements. The airflow provides less mixing of hot and cold air, which can result in a higher return temperature to the computer room air conditioner (CRAC). -
Page 28: Air Volume, Air Quality, And Temperature
Specifications Air volume, air quality, and temperature The installation site must meet certain recommended requirements for air volume, temperature, altitude, and humidity ranges, and air quality.

Page 30: Shock And Vibration
Specifications Shock and vibration The following table provides the platform shock and vibration maximums and the transportation shock and vibration levels (in the vertical direction). Note Levels shown apply to all three axes, and should be measured with an accelerometer in the equipment enclosures within the cabinet. -
Page 31: Hardware Acclimation Times
Specifications Table 14 Sound power and sound pressure levels, A-weighted, VMAX 450F, VMAX 850F, VMAX 950F (continued) Measured at the four bystander positions per ISO7779 Hardware acclimation times Systems and components must acclimate to the operating environment before applying power. This requires the unpackaged system or component to reside in the operating environment for up to 16 hours in order to thermally stabilize and prevent condensation. -
Page 32: Optical Multimode Cables
Specifications Optical multimode cables Optical multimode 3 (OM3) and optical multimode 4 (OM4) cables are available for open systems host and SRDF connectivity. To obtain OM3 or OM4 cables, contact your local sales representative. OM3 cables are used for SRDF connectivity over: 4, 8, and 10 Gb/s Fibre Channel I/O modules, 10 GbE and 1 GbE I/O modules. - Page 33 Specifications Table 16 OM3 and OM4 Fibre cables — 50/125 micron optical cable (continued) Model number Description SYM-OM4-100M LC- LC, 100 meter Open systems host and SRDF connectivity...

Page 40: Floor Load-Bearing Capacity
Physical weight and space Floor load-bearing capacity Storage arrays can be installed on raised floors. Customers must be aware that the load-bearing capacity of the data center floor is not readily available through a visual inspection of the floor. The only definitive way to ensure that the floor is capable of supporting the load associated with the array is to have a certified architect or the data center design consultant inspect the specifications of the floor to ensure that the floor is capable of supporting the array weight. -
Page 41: Physical Space And Weight
Physical weight and space additional pedestal mounts relative to a cutout should be in accordance with the tile manufacturer’s recommendations. Take care when positioning the bays to make sure that a caster is not moved into a cutout. Cutting tiles per specifications ensures the proper caster placement. Use or create no more than one floor tile cutout that is no more than 8 in. - Page 42 Physical weight and space Site Planning Guide VMAX 250F, VMAX 450F, VMAX 850F, VMAX 950F with HYPERMAX OS...
