Floor model
The Diamond Storage Array is heavy (about 92
pounds fully loaded) and requires two people to
lift and carry it safely. Place the array on a level
surface and make sure there is adequate space in
the front and back of the unit for proper cooling
and airflow. Continue with the general
instructions.
Rack mount
The array fully loaded is heavy (about 86 pounds).
The unit should be handled with care and requires
two people to lift, carry and/or install it safely.
The Diamond Array can be mounted via several
different methods in a 19” rack with 3U (5.25”) of
vertical space required. Air flow should not be
restricted in any way.
Installation in a rack may create a differential
between the room ambient temperature and the
internal ambient temperature in the rack. While
the maximum internal operating temperature of
the array is 47°C, you should not run the system
at the maximum temperature for extended
periods. Therefore, ensure that the room ambient
temperature is kept below 30°C for best
operation.
Each side of the rack mount array chassis has
three pairs of mounting holes. One is located near
the front of the rack, one near the unit’s center of
gravity, and one near the rear of the rack. The
holes will accommodate 10/32 screws but the
screws can protrude no farther than .375 inches
into the rack.
Spaced rail pairs in some rackmount cabinets.
You can mount the array using two sets of rail
pairs spaced to accommodate the overall length of
the unit (approximately 23 inches). Mount using
the rack mount brackets on the front and rear of
the unit fastened to the rail pairs using 10/32 pan
head screws with lock and flat washers.
Rack mount cabinets with stationary shelf or tray
system.
The shelf or tray must be able to support
at least 125 pounds. The shelf or tray must be
installed and secured to the rack before installing
the array. Secure the front of the array to the rack
with 10/32 screws, locks and flat washers.
Sliding shelf or tray type systems should never
be used under any circumstances.
Two point open rack system. The rack must be
strong enough to support the Diamond Array
properly. Mounting brackets should be moved to
the centermost mounting holes and secured using
10/32 screws.
CAUTION CAUTION
Do not mount multiple arrays on a two-rail
rack or mount the array above the midpoint
of a two-rail rack system. Do not mount the
array on any kind of rail-type system. The
array is too heavy and does not have the
proper hole pattern for rails.
Insure the array has adequate air flow and
continue with the general instructions.
