Specifications

The specifications of the DS3200 are listed in Table 1 on page 4. This section provides additional site specifications for the DS3200 storage subsystem. Before you install the storage subsystem, you must either make sure that your planned installation site meets these requirements or prepare the site so that it does meet these requirements. Preparations might involve meeting area requirements, environmental requirements, and electrical requirements for DS3200 storage subsystem installation, service, and operation.

Area requirements

The floor space at the installation site must provide enough strength to support the weight of the storage subsystem and associated equipment; sufficient space to install, operate, and service the storage subsystem; and sufficient ventilation to provide a free flow of air to the unit.
