It is the responsibility of the customer to assure that all installation preparations are complete and in compliance with NCR Corporation specifications and requirements and all applicable national, state, or local codes, regulations, and laws.
Site Preparation
This document contains the information necessary for the preparation of a site conforming to NCR Corporation specifications. It is very important that the site complies with the requirements specified in this document, because, once the equipment has been installed, deficiencies in site preparation or the problems caused by these deficiencies are much more difficult to detect and correct. Failure to comply with these requirements or take proper steps to protect equipment against risks identified in this document may cause serious damage to the equipment and to the customer's business. In addition to the need to comply with the requirements specified, electrical wiring and mechanical systems must also comply with all relevant codes, laws, and regulations. It is important that the site be prepared by a customer or his agent who is fully conversant with the special requirements of electronic equipment. The responsibility for ensuring that the site is prepared in compliance with this document remains with the customer.
For information and guidance purposes only, a list is provided, in general terms, of these matters for which the customer is responsible. This list is not intended to be comprehensive, and in no way modifies, alters, or limits the responsibility of the customer for all aspects of adequate site preparation. NCR staff will be available to answer questions relating to the contents of this document, except where The customer has been notified that a full or partial consultant service is available and/or that NCR will be willing to undertake a preliminary or final site survey, and The customer shall have entered into a formal contract with NCR for provision of the same.

Audience
The audience for this book includes, but is not limited to, the following: Customer System Administrators NCR System Support Representatives NCR Technical Account Managers
Prerequisites
Before planning the installation of a rack mount system, you should know the following: Local building and electrical codes. Local installation practices for large computer systems. Heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) terminology and practices. The size and weight of the cabinet systems require that professional movers and riggers deliver the crated units. The cabinet is shipped in a crate with a built-in skid under it. This skid has a clearance of 9.5 cm (3.75 in) for a forklift or pallet jack to move the unit. The increased height of the shipping container may preclude moving the unit without uncrating it. The cabinet is very heavy and may be top heavy. Do not push it from the side. Never move the cabinet with only one person.

Configuration
The 6000 WorldMark Enterprise Storage (WES) with 6288 Modular Arrays is a primary data storage device for the WorldMark Enterprise Servers. There are several Storage Cabinet configurations available, depending on the application and storage capacities required. The 6000 WES utilizes the standard NCR rack dimensions, 195.6 cm (77 in.) height and 61 cm (24 in.) width. The 6000 WES is aesthetically pleasing for customers using the WorldMark Enterprise Servers. The WES supports rack mountable disk array products. The key features of the WES include; Service Subsystem support, greater storage capacity, and higher availability options. The 6000 WES with 6288 Modular Arrays has two power-input configurations. To take full advantage of redundant power the site should have two independent AC sources. The current and previous configurations are: Dual AC Box and Triple 2u UPS - Current Configuration - This configuration offers high protection against AC power loss. All of the benefits of the dual power option are provided, plus automatic power input switchover controlled by three UPSs. If one AC source fails, the modules in the cabinet remain operational. The remaining AC source is automatically connected to the chassis via the UPSs, and power continues to be supplied to all of the redundant power supplies in the cabinet modules. Under these conditions, if one of the module power supplies fail, or a UPS fails, the cabinet remains operational. If both AC sources fail, the cabinet remains operational for up to 6 minutes on battery power. This allows the cabinet to power down gracefully, and insures no data is lost in the process. Dual 3u UPS and Dual UIS - Previous Configuration - This configuration offers high protection against AC power loss. All of the benefits of the dual UPS option are provided, plus automatic power input switchover controlled by dual UPS Input Selectors (UIS). If one AC source fails, the modules in the cabinet remain operational. The remaining AC source is automatically connected to the UPS that lost power via the UIS, and power continues to be supplied to all of the redundant power supplies in the cabinet modules. Under these conditions, if one of the module power supplies fail, or a UPS fails, the cabinet remains operational. If both AC sources fail, the cabinet remains operational for up to 10 minutes on battery power. This allows the cabinet to power down gracefully, and insures no data is lost in the process.
The 6000 WES is offered for use in Teradata Warehousing and Massively Parallel Processing (MPP) environments. In these offerings, each rack contains a Service Subsystem Chassis mounted in the top 2U of the cabinet. The service subsystem monitors and controls all the chassis in its rack. The Service Subsystem Chassis is connected to each chassis within its rack through a Management Local Area Network (MLAN). 2U Service Subsystem Chassis (without CMIC3) are connected to a 3U Service Subsystem Chassis in the processing cabinet. A group of racks controlled by a single CMIC3 is referred to as a CMIC Collective. For each CMIC Collective,
13
one and only one rack must have a CMIC3. The SLAN interfaces all the racks with the Administration Workstation (AWS) for a single operational view of the complete system The 6000 WES comes in various configurations. Shown below are the 6000 WES with two 6288-1440 disk arrays and the 6000 WES with two 6288-1452 disk arrays. The 6000 WES with 6288-1440 disk arrays contains one or two Model 62881440s with various disk drive capacities The 6000 WES with 6288-1452 disk arrays contains one or two Model 62881452s with various disk drive capacities
Note: The 6000 WES is available with various disk drive capacities. Contact your local NCR representative for current disk drive capacity information.

Cabinets can be stand-alone or bolted together in rows. Stabilizer feet add width and depth to a stand-alone cabinet or a row of cabinets bolted together. Side stabilizer feet are required on all four corners of a stand-alone cabinet and increase its footprint width by 34.6 cm (14 in.) and its depth by 45.7 cm (18 in.).
15
If two stand-alone cabinets are placed side-by-side, allow 36 cm (14.5 in.) between cabinets to install the side stabilizer feet. There should be at least 1.3 cm (0.5 in.) between the installed side stabilizer feet. Front and back stabilizer feet are optional for cabinets bolted together. If used, they are used on all cabinets in the row. Front and back stabilizer feet increase each cabinets footprint depth by 45.7 cm (18 in.).
The following table summarizes cabinet dimensions, and the width and depth added to a cabinet footprint when stabilizer feet are attached.

Weight and Floor Loading

Following are approximate floor loading specifications and related information for a storage cabinet: The storage cabinet can be installed on a raised floor. If a storage cabinet is to be installed on a solid floor, use customer-supplied cable raceways. When calculating floor loading for the storage cabinet, allow an additional 50 kg (110 lb) of installed weight. The actual weight will vary depending on the number of cables routed through the cable management system. Side stabilizer feet must be installed on cabinets that stand alone. Front and back stabilizer feet may be installed on a set of cabinets that are placed in a row. (Cabinets can be bolted together to increase stability.)

Chapter 2: Site Layout Cable Management
Cable Management
Cable Management and Routing
The following cable management methods are used with the system: All cables can be routed through the bottom of a cabinet to adjacent or nonadjacent cabinets beneath the floor through cutouts in datacenter tiles. Note: The recommended size of datacenter tile cutouts is 10.2 cm x 5.2 cm (4 in. x 6 in.) or 154.8 sq. cm (24 sq.in.). Make sure there are enough tile cutouts to accommodate the appropriate external cables including two power cables, SCSI cables, and other communication cables. Place the cutouts through the datacenter tile that lies within the cabinet in the space between the chassis and the rear door. Power cables are routed beneath the floor through cutouts in datacenter tiles. SCSI cables attached to nodes are routed through the nodes cable management system within the cabinet. A 78.7 cm (31 in) service loop is required for SCSI cables. Cables attached to all chassis are routed through D-rings on the sides of a cabinet.
Cable Length
Cable lengths are influenced by under-the-raised-floor cable routing. Give careful consideration to the arrangement of cabinets connected to other cabinets and to external processing devices to minimize cable length. Array to node direct connect cable lengths may be up to 25 meters.
SCSI Cabling and Configuration

Site Layout Design
When designing floor plans, it is important to consider future growth. Placing all nodes and disk arrays in the same row may not be optimal for future growth. With the advent of the 6288 Modular Array, there is more freedom for array cabinet placement. For more information about floor layouts and SCSI configuration, see the document, Configuring with Confidence: SCSI Disk Subsystems, at the following NCR intranet URL: http://infobahn.sandiegoca.ncr.com/ultra2/confiden.htm Note: Refer to Appendix A, Site Survey, for a floor plan. Each square represents one 2 ft. by 2 ft. data center floor tile. The scale of the templates are 1/2 in = 2 ft. and 1/4 in = 2 ft. Note: The recommended size of datacenter tile cutouts is 10.2 cm x 5.2 cm (4 in. x 6 in.) or 154.8 sq. cm (24 sq.in.). Note: In raised floor environments, there should be an adequate number of perforated or vented tiles to maintain the operational temperature environment within specifications. Refer to Chapter Temperature and Humidity, for requirements.

Storage System Interconnect

The Enterprise Storage System 6000 with 6288 Modular Arrays establishes a new interconnection scheme for cliquing of storage. This new scheme uses a point to point fabric with extremely high reliability, and incredible performance capability. Each connection is independent, making it more reliable, and allowing for simple troubleshooting. With this interconnection scheme each node in a clique has two dedicated connections to each disk array. The following figure illustrates storage interconnect for a four node clique with 40 disk drives per node.

Chapter 3: Power Distribution and Grounding Requirements 20 Amp/3U UPS AC Input Power Distribution
20 Amp/3U UPS AC Input Power Distribution

Rack Power Options
Power distribution in a rack cabinet is accomplished by using a UPS with a UIS. Each UIS in a cabinet provides AC power to its associated UPS in a cabinet. Under normal conditions with both AC sources on, each UIS supplies power to one UPS. The UIS plugs into an AC outlet with the appropriate voltage (200240V VAC). To take advantage of the redundant power subsystem and dual AC, and to ensure that enough power is available to all of the chassis in a cabinet, cabling conventions must be followed. The internal components in the UIS are configured for North American or International use during staging. The UIS module is field replaceable and is located in the rear of the rack, behind the UPS. The internal components are not field-serviceable.
Figure 3-1 UPS and UIS
Dual AC
The chassis in a storage cabinet are powered by two physical power sources; UPSs with UIS. The two physical power sources are divided into two logical power sources. One physical power source (UPS) supplies power to one AC input on a chassis, and the other physical power source supplies power to the second AC input on a chassis. This type of power distribution is called dual AC. The information in the section, Dual AC Input Configurations, provides more information on how to set up the customers site to take full advantage of dual AC.
32
Note: Chassis cabling protocol is critical for each chassis in a dual AC system. Cabling is covered in detail in Cabling Diagrams and Switch Settings in the 6000 WES 6288 Modular Array Installation and Service Guide. The WES is called a dual AC system because two separate AC inlets can supply power to a cabinet: AC leg A or AC leg B. During normal operation, all current flows into the AC leg A inlet. If power is lost on AC leg A, the system switches so that all current flows into the AC leg B inlet. Because the system does not load share between AC leg A and AC leg B, dual AC can provide redundant power to the entire system. AC leg A and AC leg B power inlets for a cabinet are located on the UPSs with UISs as shown in the following figure.

Dual AC Input Configurations

Each storage cabinet UPS with UIS has the following characteristics: Distributes either line to line (North American) or line to neutral (international) dual phase AC power to each chassis in a cabinet. The supplied power cord connects the UPS/UIS to ground.
To use the redundancy of the power subsystem with two physical (two logical) UPSs/UISs: Use one AC feed for one logical power source, and one AC feed for the other logical power source. Use a separate breaker for each feed. Rate each AC feed for the full load of the cabinet. Note: The UPS supplies up to 2700W of power to the chassis in a cabinet, depending upon its battery backup configuration.
34
Site Wiring for Dual AC with 3U UPS/UIS

Dual AC can be implemented at a customer site in one of the following ways: Separate power sources Separate circuit breakers Site UPS
Site wiring decisions should be made with an understanding of how the customer will benefit from the dual AC feature.
Separate Power Sources

Some customers have two separate sources of AC power. For example, a customers site may receive power from two different power substations. In this case, AC leg A of the UIS can be connected to one source, and AC leg B of the UIS can be connected to the other source. If the source supplying AC leg A fails, the UIS will switch to the other source, allowing the system to continue operating.
Separate Circuit Breaker Panels

Some customers are concerned about the loss of power to the system during electrical maintenance work on the site. In this case, the system can be wired so that AC leg A of the UIS is connected to one circuit breaker panel, and AC leg B of the UIS is connected to another circuit breaker panel. If the circuit breaker panel supplying AC leg A is accidentally shut off, the UIS will switch to the circuit breaker panel supplying AC leg B, allowing the system to continue operating.
One Site UPS

Some customers may have one site UPS. In this case, one set of UIS AC inlets (AC leg A or AC leg B) can be connected to the output of the site UPS and the other set of UIS AC inlets can be connected to the input to the site UPS. In this arrangement, the system would continue to get AC power, even if the site UPS fails.
Two Site UPSs

Some customers may have two site UPSs. If so, the site can be considered as having two separate power sources.
35
System Load Configurations

Some customers may want the system to be configured to load share, and others may not. It is expected that most customers will configure the system for load sharing. Warning: Site wiring must be done as follows: AC lines feeding AC leg A inlets and AC lines feeding AC leg B inlets must be sized to support the entire system load. This must be done for systems that are configured for load sharing and for systems that are not configured for load sharing.
Systems with Load Sharing

Sites configured for load sharing can expect an (approximately) 100% increase in load on the active line when another source of power fails. That is, a source has 50% of the load to start with, and when AC is lost from the other source, the remaining 50% of the load transfers to the active source. It is recommended that a system at a site that has two unique sources of power be configured for load sharing at installation. The following guidelines should be used to distribute the load as evenly as possible in a system that will load share. Figure 3-4 illustrates load sharing. In even-numbered cabinets: AC1 is plugged into AC leg A of each UIS. AC2 is plugged into AC leg B of each UIS. In odd-numbered cabinets: AC1 is plugged into AC leg B of each UIS. AC2 is plugged into AC leg A of each UIS.

Systems without Load Sharing

A customer who does not want the system to be configured to load share should expect the entire system load to transfer to AC leg B upon the loss of AC leg A. For large systems, this could be a considerable change in current. Figure 3-5 illustrates a system without load sharing.

Systems connected to one site UPS will usually connect all AC leg A inputs to the site UPS output and all AC leg B inlets to the site UPS inlet. This would prevent a 100% increase in load to the site UPS in the event that the main source of power that feeds the site UPS is lost.
General Site Wiring Guidelines

For maximum system integrity, observe the following: Rate each AC feed for the full load of the cabinet. All system components should be on dedicated branch circuits from a distribution panel that does not supply any switched inductive loads (motors, air conditioners, and so forth). Nothing else should be connected to the branch circuits except other computer equipment.
37
AC Wiring Diagrams for 3U UPS/UIS

The following illustration shows how power is distributed from the power source to the UISs, from the UISs to the UPSs, and from the UISs to the cabinet chassis.
Figure 3-6 Leg A and Leg B of AC Power Distribution in the Cabinet with 3U UPS/UIS
Leg B Leg A
= Power Distribution Default to the UPSs = Power Switch Distribution When Leg A Fails = Not Used
The UIS selects between two sources of power and feeds the selected AC source to the UPS. (See Figure 3-6.) The internal wiring of the UIS and the UPS is the same for all locations (North American and International). Do not open the units and change the internal unit wiring. Configuring units for local voltage includes the following task, which is performed at installation and/or during field replacement of UIS units: UIS configurationunits should be configured at the factory; however, field spares may need to be configured for site voltage. See the 6000 NCR Storage Cabinet 6288 Modular Array Installation and Service Guide for the configuration procedure and the field replacement procedure.
38
The following illustrations (Figure 3-7 and Figure 3-8) are provided as a reference and show the power subsystem AC wiring diagrams for North American and International locations. North American single phase The power connection is a 208V line-toline single phase connection. Neutral wires are not used. International single phase The power connection is a 230V line-toneutral single phase connection.
The ground wire in each power cord is connected to a ground terminal in the power plug, which is then connected to ground in the AC distribution panel at the customers site. Caution: The power plug must be correct for the site in which it is used. For more information, see 20 Amp/3U UPS Input Power Cords, Plugs, and Receptacles, later in this chapter.

The power cord delivered with the WES cabinet depends upon the country code specified when the cabinet was ordered. The power cord will have either a NEMA L6-20P plug or an IEC 309 316P6S plug. The plugs are shown in Figure 3-9. The power cord with the IEC 309 316P6S plug is harmonized and meets Harmonized European (HAR) standards. The power cord with the NEMA L620P plug is UL certified.

See Site Wiring for Dual AC with 3U UPS/UIS in this chapter for details. ** Note: If a cabinet is to be used in a country in which the NEMAL6-20P plug or the IEC 309 316P6S plug cannot be used, the plug must be replaced with a plug appropriate for the site. Failure to replace an inappropriate plug with an appropriate plug will violate safety standards.
If the WES is to be used at a site that is not compatible with a NEMA L6-20P plug or an IEC 309 316P6S plug, the plug must be replaced with a plug that is appropriate for the site. The replacement plug must be a 3-wire plug that is rated for at least 16A and 200-250V: Figure 3-10 shows the wiring diagram of a NEMA L6-20P plug and how the cord should look with this type of plug attached.

Figure 3-11 shows the wiring diagram of an IEC 309 316 P6S plug and how the cord should look with this type of plug attached.
The replacement plug must meet the requirements of IEC 1950, paragraph 1.2.5.2, for pluggable equipment type B. Warning: Standard non-industrial plugs (such as CEE7, Schuko) must not be used because they do not meet the safety requirements with the leakage current of this application. Contact your NCR representative and an electrician to determine the type of plug suitable for the site.

The following information applies to the UPS: The UPS AC output consists of nine receptacles, arranged in three groups of three, on the rear panel of the UPS.
The following warnings and cautions apply when plugging modules into UPS receptacles in a rack mount system: The UPSs in a rack mount system are not intended to provide power to equipment that is not mounted in the rack. Plugging non-rack equipment into the UPS may result in an overcurrent condition or damage the external equipment. Do not plug disk array module power cords into UPSs in adjacent racks. Items in one rack should be plugged only into UPSs that reside in that rack.

30 Amp/2U UPS AC Input Power Distribution

Rack Power Options
Power distribution in a rack cabinet is accomplished by using an AC Box with three 2U UPSs. Each AC Box in a cabinet provides AC power to all three UPSs in a cabinet. The AC Boxes plug into an AC outlet with the appropriate voltage (200-240V VAC). To take advantage of the redundant power subsystem and dual AC, and to ensure that enough power is available to all of the chassis in a cabinet, cabling conventions must be followed. The AC Box module is field replaceable and is located in the rear of the rack, behind the UPSs. The internal components are not field-serviceable.
Dual AC
The chassis in a storage cabinet are powered by three physical power sources; three 2U UPSs. The three physical power sources are divided into two logical power sources. One physical power source (UPS) supplies power to one AC input on a chassis, and the other physical power source supplies power to the second AC input on a chassis. This type of power distribution is called dual AC. The information in the section, Dual AC Input Configurations, provides more information on how to set up the customers site to take full advantage of dual AC. Note: Chassis cabling protocol is critical for each chassis in a dual AC system. Cabling is covered in detail in Cabling Diagrams and Switch Settings in the 6000 WES 6288 Modular Array Installation and Service Guide. The WES is called a dual AC system because two separate AC inlets can supply power to a cabinet: AC leg A or AC leg B. During normal operation, all current flows into the AC leg A inlet. If power is lost on AC leg A, the system switches so that all current flows into the AC leg B inlet. Because the system does not load share between AC leg A and AC leg B, dual AC can provide redundant power to the entire system. AC leg A and AC leg B power inlets for a cabinet are located on the AC Boxes as shown in the following figure.

Since all the chassis within the cabinet receive power from 2 separate UPSs, and all UPSs are connected to both power sources, the cabinet will continue to operate when one AC leg is missing or turned off.
Dual AC Input Configurations

Each storage cabinet AC Box/UPS has the following characteristics: Distributes either line to line (North American) or line to neutral (international) dual phase AC power to each chassis in a cabinet. The supplied power cord provides ground to the AC Box/UPS.
To use the redundancy of the power subsystem with three physical UPSs and two logical power sources: Use one AC feed for one logical power source, and one AC feed for the other logical power source. Use a separate breaker for each feed. Rate each AC feed for the full load of the cabinet.

Site Wiring for Dual AC with AC Boxes and 2U UPSs

Dual AC can be implemented at a customer site in one of the following ways: Separate power sources Separate circuit breakers Site UPS
Site wiring decisions should be made with an understanding of how the customer will benefit from the dual AC feature.
Separate Power Sources

Some customers have two separate sources of AC power. For example, a customers site may receive power from two different power substations. In this case, AC leg A (one AC Box) is be connected to one source, and AC leg B (the other AC Box) is be connected to the other source. If the source supplying AC leg A fails, the UPSs will switch to the other source/AC Box leg B, allowing the system to continue operating.
Separate Circuit Breaker Panels

Some customers are concerned about the loss of power to the system during electrical maintenance work on the site. In this case, the system can be wired so that AC leg A (one AC Box) is connected to one circuit breaker panel, and AC leg B (the other AC Box) is connected to another circuit breaker panel. If the circuit breaker panel supplying AC leg A is accidentally shut off, the UPSs will draw power from the AC Box connected to the circuit breaker panel supplying AC leg B, allowing the system to continue operating.
One Site UPS

Some customers may have one site UPS. In this case, one AC Box (AC leg A or AC leg B) can be connected to the output of the site UPS and the other AC Box can be connected to the input to the site UPS. In this arrangement, the system would continue to get AC power, even if the site UPS fails.
Two Site UPSs

Some customers may have two site UPSs. If so, the site can be considered as having two separate power sources.
3 19
System Load Configurations

Some customers may want the system to be configured to load share, and others may not. It is expected that most customers will configure the system for load sharing. Warning: Site wiring must be done as follows: AC lines feeding AC leg A inlets and AC lines feeding AC leg B inlets must be sized to support the entire system load. This must be done for systems that are configured for load sharing and for systems that are not configured for load sharing.
Systems with Load Sharing

Sites configured for load sharing can expect an (approximately) 100% increase in load on the active line when another source of power fails. That is, a source has 50% of the load to start with, and when AC is lost from the other source, the remaining 50% of the load transfers to the active source. It is recommended that a system at a site that has two unique sources of power be configured for load sharing at installation. The following guidelines should be used to distribute the load as evenly as possible in a system that will load share. Figure 3-4 illustrates load sharing. In even-numbered cabinets: AC1 is plugged into AC Box AC leg A. AC2 is plugged into AC Box AC leg B. In odd-numbered cabinets: AC1 is plugged into AC Box AC leg B. AC2 is plugged into AC Box AC leg A.

Systems without Load Sharing

A customer who does not want the system to be configured to load share should expect the entire system load to transfer to AC leg B upon the loss of AC leg A. For large systems, this could be a considerable change in current. Figure 3-5 illustrates a system without load sharing.

Systems connected to one site UPS will usually connect all AC leg A inputs to the site UPS output and all AC leg B inlets to the site UPS inlet. This would prevent a 100% increase in load to the site UPS in the event that the main source of power that feeds the site UPS is lost.
General Site Wiring Guidelines

For maximum system integrity, observe the following: Rate each AC feed for the full load of the cabinet. All system components should be on dedicated branch circuits from a distribution panel that does not supply any switched inductive loads (motors, air conditioners, and so forth). Nothing else should be connected to the branch circuits except other computer equipment.

The UPSs select between two sources of power and feeds the selected AC source to the chassis. (See Figure 3-15.) The internal wiring of the AC Boxes and the UPSs are the same for all locations (North American and International). Do not open the units and change the internal unit wiring. The following illustrations (Figure 3-16 and Figure 3-17) are provided as a reference and show the power subsystem AC wiring diagrams for North American and International locations. North American single phase The power connection is a 208V line-toline single phase connection. Neutral wires are not used. International single phase The power connection is a 230V line-toneutral single phase connection.
The ground wire in each power cord is connected to a ground terminal in the power plug, which is then connected to ground in the AC distribution panel at the customers site. Caution: The power plug must be correct for the site in which it is used. For more information, see 30 Amp/2U UPS Input Power Cords, Plugs, and Receptacles, later in this chapter.

30 Amp/2U UPS Input Power Cords, Plugs, and Receptacles

The power cord delivered with the WES cabinet depends upon the country code specified when the cabinet was ordered. The power cord will have either a NEMA L6-30P plug or an IEC 309 332 P6S plug. The plugs are shown in Figure 3-9. The power cord with the IEC 309 332 P6S plug is harmonized and meets Harmonized European (HAR) standards. The power cord with the NEMA L630P plug is UL certified.

* Note: Each cabinet will require two power receptacles. Each receptacle should be supplied from a separate power source. See Site Wiring for Dual AC with 3U UPS/UIS in this chapter for details. ** Note: If a cabinet is to be used in a country in which the NEMAL6-30P plug or the IEC 309 332P6S plug cannot be used, the plug must be replaced with a plug appropriate for the site. Failure to replace an inappropriate plug with an appropriate plug will violate safety standards.
If the WES is to be used at a site that is not compatible with a NEMA L6-30P plug or an IEC 309 332P6S plug, the plug must be replaced with a plug that is appropriate for the site. The replacement plug must be a 3-wire plug that is rated for at least 24A and 200-250V: Figure 3-19 shows the wiring diagram of a NEMA L6-30P plug and how the cord should look with this type of plug attached. Figure 3-20 shows the wiring diagram of an IEC 309 332 P6S plug and how the cord should look with this type of plug attached.
3 26
The replacement plug must meet the requirements of IEC 1950, paragraph 1.2.5.2, for pluggable equipment type B. Warning: Standard non-industrial plugs (such as CEE7, Schuko) must not be used because they do not meet the safety requirements with the leakage current of this application. Contact your NCR representative and an electrician to determine the type of plug suitable for the site.

UPS Receptacles
The following information applies to the UPS: The UPS AC output consists of nine receptacles, arranged in three groups of three, on the rear panel of the UPS.
The following warnings and cautions apply when plugging modules into UPS receptacles in a rack mount system: The UPSs in a rack mount system are not intended to provide power to equipment that is not mounted in the rack. Plugging non-rack equipment into the UPS may result in an overcurrent condition or damage the external equipment. Do not plug disk array module power cords into UPSs in adjacent racks. Items in one rack should be plugged only into UPSs that reside in that rack.
See Cabling Diagrams and Switch Settings in the 6000 WorldMark Enterprise Storage 6288 Modular Array Installation and Service Guide for specific information about plugging modules into UPS receptacles.

Chapter 3: Power Distribution and Grounding Requirements Grounding
Grounding
Grounding Requirements
A storage cabinet has the following requirements: A cabinet connects logic reference ground to safety ground. A noise-free ground is essential for good system integrity. An insulated ground wire (required) is part of the power cord. The cabinet ground wire must be connected to the buildings service ground.
Caution: If a cabinet is installed in a closed area or part of a multi-cabinet assembly, it may require further evaluation by certification agencies. Caution: Reliable earth grounding of this equipment must be maintained.
Grounding Conductor
The following information applies to the grounding conductor: A cabinet must be grounded by a conductor that is separate from neutral. The grounding conductor must be connected to the building service ground point via the distribution panel.
Warning: High leakage currentEarth ground connection is essential before powering on the rack. The grounding conductor must be the same size as, or larger than, the power conductors to a cabinet. All on-site units communicating with a cabinet should be grounded to the terminal strip at the distribution panel to minimize system errors caused by electrical noise.

Power Outage
The internal batteries in the UPS provide power during power outages: During a momentary outage, the UPS provides power for uninterrupted normal operation. After an extended outage, the UPS provides power for a graceful shutdown.
The UPS configuration determines how much battery time is available for normal system operation and/or graceful shutdown during an outage.
3 30
Chapter 3: Power Distribution and Grounding Requirements Emergency Power Off (EPO)
Emergency Power Off (EPO)

Many electrical codes require an Emergency Power Off (EPO) switch to shut off both AC power and battery backup power in case of an emergency. A remote EPO connector is located on the rear panel of all UPSs in a system. When the EPO switch is tripped, the contact on the remote EPO connector closes. AC output to the UPS receptacles then stops. When AC is restored, power to the UPS receptacles is restored. Warning: An electrician may need to perform the remote EPO connection procedure. Before connecting the remote EPO connector to the EPO switch, consult with the customer and an electrician who is familiar with the sites wiring. Warning: Do not connect cabinets with 2U UPS power subsystems and cabinets with 3U UPSs to the same EPO circuit. If the system includes a mix of cabinets with 2U UPSs and cabinets with 3U UPSs, there must be a separate EPO circuit for each type of UPS. Connecting both 2U UPSs and 3U UPSs to the same EPO circuit can result in the system unexpectedly powering off.
Switch Requirements
The following requirements apply to the EPO switch: It must be a normally open, remote, push-on wall switch. Each AC feed for each leg of dual AC input could have a separate EPO switch, depending on whether local code specifies that the EPO switch should be separate. If the customers site has a mix of equipment, each system must have separate contacts in the EPO switch. The contacts should be rated at 100 VDC. Each cabinet supplies 10 mA; therefore, the battery EPO switch contact rating must be calculated. For example, with a system of 20 cabinets, a 0.2 Amp contact rating is required. The remote EPO connector on the UPS must not be connected to non-SELV circuits. Placing non-SELV voltages on the remote EPO connector creates dangerous conditions for the operator. Note: An SELV circuit is a circuit that is designed and protected so that under normal and single fault conditions the voltage between any two accessible parts, one of which may be the body or earth, does not exceed a safe value. This definition of SELV circuit differs from the term SELV as used in IEC Publication 364: Electrical Installations of Buildings. Correct (consistent) polarity must be maintained throughout the complete EPO circuit.
3 31
Chapter 3: Power Distribution and Grounding Requirements Emergency Power Off (EPO)
Cable Requirements
The following requirements apply to the EPO cable: It must be a color-coded, 22 AWG, twisted-pair cable with class 2 insulation and a minimum rating of 600 volts. The EPO cable connects the EPO wall switch to the EPO terminals on the UPS in the rack. Correct (consistent) polarity must be maintained throughout the complete EPO circuit. The EPO connectors on the UPS may be connected in a daisy chain or a star configuration, as appropriate for the system size and for fault isolation. Up to 20 racks can be connected in a daisy chain. See the following figures for configurations.

41
Chapter 4: Environmental Specifications and Requirements Temperature and Humidity
Temperature and Humidity

Requirements
The environmental requirements for a storage cabinet at a customers site are shown in the following table. It is imperative that these requirements be met to ensure proper operation of this system.
Table 4-1 Environmental Requirements
Environmental Requirement Operational Storage Transit (Up to 1 Week)
Temperature (Dry Bulb) Relative Humidity Maximum Dew Point Maximum Operational Altitude
10 to 40 C (50 to 104 F) 20 to 80% 26 C (79 F) 2000 m (6560 ft)
-10 to 50 C (14 to 120 F) 10 to 90% Not Applicable Not Applicable
-40 to 60 C (-40 to 140 F) 5 to 95% Not Applicable 3000 m (9850 ft)
Caution: The maximum temperature for the equipment in this environment is 40 C (104 F). Although the storage cabinets are designed to operate within a wide environmental range, the ambient temperature within the cabinet may be greater than room ambient. Warning: Before installing and powering on the system, make sure that the environmental stabilization procedure has been completed and that the operating environment and the system meet the operational requirements. For details about the environmental stabilization procedure, see Chapter 5.
Precautions
Observe the following precautions: Installation should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation is not compromised. Consideration should be given to the maximum rated ambient. If rack-mount cabinets are installed in a closed or multi-unit cabinet assembly, they may require further evaluation by certification agencies.
42
Chapter 4: Environmental Specifications and Requirements Temperature and Humidity
Optimum Performance
For optimum performance, do the following: Prevent continuous operation at or near the temperature and humidity limits. Prevent operation in environmental conditions that cause condensation. Maintain (as the set point) a temperature of 22 C (72 F) and a relative humidity of 50%. If the environmental controls malfunction, this may allow enough time to repair them without stopping the system. As deviations from the set point (mentioned above) increase in either direction for extended periods of time, the hardware may be exposed to the following: Low relative humidity, which can contribute to electrostatic discharge. High relative humidity, which may cause paper media to malfunction, condensation of moisture on walls and windows, or corrosion on the electronic circuits.
Due to lower atmospheric pressure and low air density at higher altitudes, the maximum dry bulb operating temperature is derated linearly by a value of 3.3 C per 1000 m (6 F per 1000 ft.) between the altitude of 500 m (1640 ft.) and 3000 m (9850 ft.).
43
Chapter 4: Environmental Specifications and Requirements Other Environmental Specifications and Requirements
Other Environmental Specifications and Requirements

Barometric Pressure
The transient and operating barometric pressure and equivalent altitude for this system is 105.0 to 70.0 KPa, up to a maximum of 3000 m (9850 ft) without modification.
Air Flow
The air flow in a storage cabinet has the following specifications and/or requirements: Each chassis in a cabinet has internal fans that provide the required, forced airflow. A minimum clearance of 0.9 m (3 ft) is required in the front and rear of the cabinet to allow exhausted air to dissipate. A minimum clearance of 12.7 cm (5 in.) is required at the top of the cabinet to allow exhausted air to dissipate. Air flow for the entire cabinet, and all the chassis in it is front-to-back as follows: 5.7 m3/min (200 cfm) Temperature rise 8.3 C (15 F), inlet to exhaust
Operational Vibration Limits

Storage cabinets have the following operational vibration limits: All systems can withstand vibrations up to 0.01 G2/Hz over a frequency range of 7 to 500 Hz. The system will continue to operate without hard errors during and after a half sine wave shock of 2G of 11 millisecond duration. The maximum double amplitude displacement is limited to 1.27 mm (0.05 in) in a range from 0 to 10 Hz.

Power Dissipation and Heat Generation

Air is drawn into the cabinet through openings in the front door. Air is exhausted through the rear door and the top of the cabinet. The following table lists the total power dissipated and heat generated for a WES cabinet with two fully populated 1440/1452 arrays. The kW hours, BTUs per hour, and Amps are for each cabinet. To calculate power dissipated and heat generated for a specific system configuration, see the appropriate worksheet in Appendix B Worksheets.

200-240 VAC 2.4 kW 8,183 BTU/Hr 10-12 A
* 1 BTU = 1055.79 joules = 1055.79 watt-seconds
However, heat generation and power dissipation can increase during battery charging of the UPSs. The following table shows power consumption in the most extreme casewhen all UPSs require battery charging. In these cases, cabinet current can be as high as 19A per single #12 AWG 20A plug AC cable. Once batteries are charged, levels will drop to those listed in Table 4-2.

* If batteries have been completely drained, UPS battery power charging lasts no more than 3 hours.
45
Calculating Power and BTUs required for a Cabinet

For the Disk Array cabinets, two calculations are required. An example of these calculations follows: These calculations are under normal operating conditions. In Chapter 4, under the heading Power Dissipation and Heat Generation, Table 4-2, states a 6000 Cabinet requires 2.4 kW of power and dissipates 8,183 BTU/Hr. Therefore, four Array cabinets would require 9.6 kW of power and dissipate 32,732 BTU/Hr. These calculations are under the most extreme case where all batteries are in a charging mode. In Chapter 4, under the heading Power Dissipation and Heat Generation, Table 4-3, states a 6000 Cabinet during UPS charging requires 3.0 kW of power and dissipates 10,229 BTU/Hr. Therefore, four Array cabinets could require 12 kW of power and dissipate 40,916 BTU/Hr.
Electrical Characteristics
The maximum power draw of each cabinet is listed in the section Power Dissipation and Heat Generation in this chapter. The input has a unity power factor; therefore, the KW rating is equivalent to KVA.
Static Discharge Limits

The system is designed to withstand ESD levels up to 4000 V direct discharge and 8000 V air discharge without causing physical damage.

Chapter 5: Installation Requirements Uncrating, Moving, and Stabilizing a Cabinet
Uncrating, Moving, and Stabilizing a Cabinet

The following sections give important information for uncrating, moving, and stabilizing the storage cabinet. See Figure 5-1 for an overview.
Uncrating Guidelines
Use the following guidelines when uncrating the storage cabinet: Warning: The size and weight of the cabinet systems require that professional movers and riggers deliver the crated units. Warning: The cabinet is shipped in a crate with a built-in skid under it. This skid has a clearance of 9.5 cm (3.75 in) for a forklift or pallet jack to move the unit. The increased height of the shipping container may preclude moving the unit without uncrating it. Warning: The cabinet is top heavy. Do not push it from the side. Push it from front to back. Never move the cabinet with only one person. The cabinet is shipped in a crate with a built-in skid under it. This skid has a clearance of 9.5 cm (3.75 in) and is used when moving the crated cabinet with a forklift or pallet jack. A crated cabinet with the skid attached is very tall. After delivery, uncrate each cabinet before moving it to the customer's computer floor. One of the panels on each shipping crate is labeled RAMP. This panel is used to remove the cabinet from the shipping pallet. Locate the panel and ensure that it is not removed by the shipper. Make sure there is adequate space in front of the shipping crate so you can attach the ramp to the crate and unload the cabinet. The minimum space required in front of the crate is 3.7 m (12 ft). The width required in front of the crate is 1.8 m (6 ft). Follow the environmental stabilization procedure before moving the equipment to its on-site destination. Make sure that the correct equipment and adequate help is available to move the cabinets to their on-site destination. To protect the cabinet when moving it to its on-site destination, replace the plastic bag on the cabinet after uncrating it. Be careful the plastic bag does not impede rolling the cabinet or get under the wheels.

Moving and Handling Requirements

A storage cabinet has the following handling requirements: A fully loaded storage cabinet is extremely heavy. Make sure there are enough people to move and unpack the shipping crates. The cabinet is top heavy. Do not push it from the side. Push it from the front to the back. Never move the cabinet with only one person. Storage cabinets are mounted on casters to facilitate moving. They have adjustable glides to facilitate leveling in their final installed positions. Maximum degree of tip allowed on the side of a single rack: 10 degrees off of vertical. Ensure that the floors along the route to the final installation location can support the weight of the cabinets. Refer to Table 1-2 under Weight and Floor Loading in Chapter 1 of this book. Floor vents are not designed to handle the weight of a cabinet. Make sure that the cabinet can be negotiated around them. Check that the floor at the customers site can support the concentrated wheel loading. Be especially careful with perforated floor tiles in sites with raised floors. Refer to Table 1-2 under Weight and Floor Loading in Chapter 1 of this book.
For details about unpacking the system, see Chapter 2, Unpack System Components in the 6000 WES 6288 Modular Array Installation and Service Guide.
Environmental Stabilization Procedure

If temperature and humidity changes have been extreme during transit, a system may develop condensation. Before installing and powering on the system, use the following environmental stabilization procedure: Caution: To prevent or minimize condensation on the systems internal and external surfaces, avoid exposing the system to extreme temperature and/or humidity changes when moving it from the uncrating area to its on-site destination. 1 Uncrate the system at the customers receiving area. Remove only the crate and packing material. It is recommended you replace the plastic bag after uncrating to protect the unit from dirt and scratches. Obtain the Unpacking Instructions from the crate and the accessories box and use the procedure described in Chapter 2, Unpack System Components in the 6000 WES 6288 Modular Array Installation and Service Guide. Move the system to its final destination on site. Inspect the system for condensation. Use the following guidelines to determine whether a stabilization period is necessary before installing and powering on the system.

Appendix A: Site Survey Conducting a Site Survey
Conducting a Site Survey

Begin the site preparation phase of the installation with a site survey. The NCR Sales Team and/or System Support Representatives (SSR) survey the site to determine the scope of the installation tasks required, and to ascertain availability of power, thermal management, communications, and so forth. Use the information that is gathered in this step to prepare the site preparation plan.
Site Survey Activities

Activities performed for the site survey include the following: Reviewing the site requirements of the new 6000 WES Inspecting the site environment for the following: Building and system power and proper ground Proper thermal and other environmental controls Sufficient area for proper installation Floor type, raised or not raised Configuring the new system in the following areas: Hardware layout Preliminary site layout Preparing the following: Preliminary system configuration drawing Preliminary system plan drawing Preliminary site layout map Determining the following customer education requirements: Hardware operation Operating system operation
Use the information gathered to create a site preparation plan. This plan specifies the requirements needed to prepare the site and educate the customer for the new storage cabinet. The NCR Sales Team is responsible for ensuring that all applicable NCR service products are addressed. The NCR Sales Team returns to the customer with a proposal identifying the appropriate site preparation, hardware, software, application, and NCR support services, and secures the customer's order. Once an order is signed specifying installation services, the site preparation plan is prepared.

Appendix A: Site Survey Conducting a Site Survey
Site Preparation Plan

Create a site preparation plan for each storage cabinet site where equipment will be installed. As a minimum, the plan should contain the following information: Physical characteristics of the storage cabinet equipment Electrical requirements of each storage cabinet System environmental requirements Site layout maps System cable requirements Electrical power and data line transient protection requirements Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) requirements Customer Sign-off Sheet
The site CEs assist the NCR Sales Team and the customer by defining and explaining the requirements, but it is the customer's responsibility to see that all the site requirements are met before the installation of the system. Customers may choose to have NCR oversee the site preparation, or they may choose to do so themselves. An element of a rack mount system site preparation plan is a site preparation specification that is supplied to the contractors. The specification contains specific requirements for each site. These requirements must be met before the system can be installed. A blank form is provided in this appendix. The NCR Project Team leader will meet with the contractor to explain all rack mount system requirements. The team leader will periodically check the work performed, using the site preparation checklist given in this appendix and report any deficiencies. A final inspection is required at the completion of the job. There also could be a need for architects and engineers, due to size or complexity of the plan. The NCR Project Team Manager must ensure that prerequisite training has been accomplished. The field organization must have sufficient knowledge to effectively work with the general contractor or subcontractors to complete the work on time and within budget. NCR may or may not act as general contractor depending on the installation contract, local laws and regulations.

Appendix A: Site Survey Site Layout Maps
Site Layout Maps

This section discusses system plan drawing and site layout maps.
System Plan Drawing

The system plan drawing is a scaled drawing showing the physical placement of each unit in the system. It should also show the power load center and the air conditioning unit(s), if applicable. This drawing can be used to plan the work space, access areas, and workflow in the computer room. On the system configuration map and/or the physical map, draw in and label proposed cable paths for external cables. It might be helpful if the power cables were also included on the same drawing. An electrician will use these drawings to position the power at the proper locations. Make sure that the plan documents enough power receptacles. In cabinets with 3U UPSs and UISs, each 3U UPS with UIS in a cabinet has its own power cord. A cabinet with two 3U UPSs with UISs needs two receptacles, one for each UPS/UIS. In cabinets with 2U UPSs and AC Boxes, each AC Box in a cabinet has its own power cord. A cabinet with two AC Boxes needs two receptacles, one for each AC Box. Be sure to include the location of communication and telephone lines to allow for communication and telephone line installation. Allow for future growth when preparing the room layout and system configuration. The additional planning at this time will save many hours if a new cabinet is added at a future date.
System Layout Map

The system layout map shows the interconnections between the various cabinets and external networks that together make up the complete system. If the system is factory staged, cable labels and diagrams should be followed. In creating a system layout map, the site planner must determine what the layout of cables should be. The following floor plan templates can be used to develop a system layout map. Two different scales are included.

Transient Protection
AT 1
Attachment A: Transient Protection AC Power Line Transient Protection
AC Power Line Transient Protection

In the process of power distribution, transient electrical energy (including, but not limited to, lightning strikes, intermittent short circuits, and switching transients) can be introduced on to power lines. Such transient energy can be very damaging to electronic hardware and can also cause data corruption. Under these circumstances, NCR Corporation recommends the use of AC power transient suppressors and data (communication) line transient suppressors. Such protective devices are intended to guard against power and data line transients that can result in hardware damage and various system or program errors. Improvement of any deficiencies in power quality is a customer responsibility. Malfunction and/or component failure as a result of power quality problems are/is not covered by NCR Maintenance Agreement. NCR Corporation accepts no liability for any such occurrence nor for its consequences. When power transient suppression is required, the suppressors used should meet the following minimum requirements: Dissipate energy to match the appropriate application categories as defined by ANSI/IEEE Standard C62.41, Guide on Surge Voltages in Low-Voltage ac Power Circuits. Be of the voltage limiting (clipping), or tracking filter type. The suppressor must not clamp the voltage to zero, and must self-recover after the passage of the transient. The suppressor may be of the hybrid type construction that makes use of various technologies in order to meet speed and dissipation requirements. Exhibit a short circuit mode upon its failure, thus providing a positive indication of its failure such as a blown fuse or tripped breaker. Be listed by the accepted safety organization for the country involved (e.g., UL, CSA, VDE, ETL, etc.) and the installation must conform to local, state, and national electrical codes and regulations.

Data Line Transient Protection

The nature of the transient phenomenon may extend to the data communication lines connected to this equipment. It is the responsibility of the customer to install and connect a data line transient suppression system to correct or prevent any deficiencies. Such systems must meet the following minimum requirements: Be of the self-recovering voltage limiting type. Exhibit a short circuit mode upon its failure to insure a positive indication of its failure. Insert minimum inductive and capacity loading at the operating frequency. Be installed in accordance with all applicable local, state, and national electrical codes and regulations. Protect the data port from damage in the presence of a data line transient event as defined in IEC Standard 1000-4-5 (formerly IEC 801-5).
Note: In certain countries, NCR Corporation is able to supply both power and data line transient suppressors as well as a comprehensive line of power conditioning equipment. For application data, contact your NCR Customer Services Division Representative.
