What You Should Know

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.
How To Use This Guide

The purpose of this manual is to provide you with the following: An overview of the 6286 Fibre Channel Modular Array in a 6000 NCR Storage Cabinet (NSC). Information on how to prepare the site to receive and install the 6286 Fibre Channel Modular Array in a 6000 NCR Storage Cabinet (NSC).

Configuration
The 6000 NCR Storage Cabinet (NSC) with 6286 Fibre Channel Modular Arrays is a primary data storage device for the WorldMark family of server systems. There are several NCR Storage Cabinet configurations available, depending on the application and storage capacities required. The NSC utilizes the standard NCR rack dimensions, 195.6 cm (77 in.) height and 61 cm (24in.) width. The NSC is aesthetically pleasing for customers using the 4300 rack, or WorldMark Enterprise Servers. The NSC supports rackmountable disk array or tape storage products. The key features of the NSC include; Service Subsystem support, greater storage capacity, and higher availability options. The 6000 NSC offers three power-input options, all redundant. To take full advantage of redundant power the site should have two independent AC sources. The options are: Dual AC Boxes - provides two separate AC distribution paths to redundant power supplies in each of the modules installed in the cabinet. If one AC source fails, the modules in the cabinet remain operational. If both AC sources fail, the cabinet powers off immediately. Dual UPS - provides two separate AC distribution paths with cabinet resident battery backed uninterruptable power supplies (UPS). If one AC source fails, the modules in the cabinet remain operational, however power is lost on one of the redundant power supplies in each of the modules installed in the cabinet. If one of the module power supplies fail, or if the remaining UPS fails, a disk array or the entire cabinet would immediately become non-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. Dual UPS and UIS - this option offers the highest 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 NSC is offered for use in Non-Scaleable Data Warehousing (Non-SDW) environments with no AWS support. The NSC with 6286 Fibre Channel Modular Arrays comes in various configurations. Three examples are shown below: the NSC with three 62861220 disk arrays, the NSC with two 6286-1440 disk arrays, and the NSC with one 6286-1220 and one 6286-1440 disk array.

The NSC with 6286-1220 disk arrays contains one to three Model 6286-1220s The NSC with 6286-1440 disk arrays contains one or two Model 6286-1440s The combination NSC with 6286-1220 and 6286-1440 disk arrays contains one Model 6286-1220 and one Model 6286-1440
Note: The 6000 NSC is available with various disk drive capacities. Refer to the Solution Pak Information on the Knowledge Center at the following URL for detailed information. http://www.tkc.ncr.com/tkc/cxhtml/data/htm/1/areainfo.htm

6402 Robotic Tape Library

The 6402 robotic tape library storage module is a compact data storage and retrieval system that is self-contained, rack-mountable, and fully automated. A robotic hand selects the required cartridge tapes, moves them from their storage cells to one or more tape drives for reading or writing, and returns them to their storage cells. The 6402 robotic tape library is available in two versions which supports up to 18 slots for cartridges and one DLT tape drive, scaleable up to the high-end version which supports up to 30 slots and 4 DLT tape drives. Fully configured, the 6402 is capable of storing 1 TB of uncompressed data with a throughput rate of 72 GB per hour. This unit requires 10U of physical space within a cabinet. The 6402 tape library contains from one to four StorageTek Digital Linear Tape (DLT) model 4000 or 7000 drives, or a combination of both. The unit can contain up to 30 DLT CompacTape IV cartridge tapes. The front door of the unit allows the operator to place the cartridge tapes in their storage cells by hand. The unit also has a Cartridge Access Port (CAP) to allow the user to enter cartridge tapes one at a time without opening the door or interrupting the operation of the unit. The interconnection of the units components, tape drives and electronics module, as well as the connection to the host system, are through SCSI cables.

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.). 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 inches).

Chapter 1: Physical Specifications and Requirements Weight and Floor Loading
Weight and Floor Loading

Following are floor loading specifications and related information for an NCR Storage Cabinet: The cabinet can be installed on a raised floor. If a cabinet is to be installed on a solid floor, use customer-supplied cable raceways. When calculating floor loading for the 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 stand alone cabinets. 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.) Note: In systems with UISs, the two UISs weigh approximately 5.6 kg (12.4 lb). This difference is not considered significant to installed weight or floor loading.

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. Fibre Channel 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 Fibre Channel 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. The table that follows summarizes cable length information for cabinets that face the same direction.

Chapter 2: Site Layout Floor Plans
Floor Plans
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. Very large systems are usually organized with rows of nodes and rows of disk arrays, with disk array rows on one or both sides of the node rows. Note: Refer to Appendix A, Site Layout Maps, for a floor plan. Each square represents one 2 ft. by 2 ft. data center floor tile. The scale of thetemplates 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.).

Chapter 3: Power Distribution and Grounding Requirements AC Input Power Distribution
AC Input Power Distribution

Rack Power Options
Power distribution in a rack cabinet can be accomplished by using either an AC Box or a UPS (with or without optional UIS). The AC power distribution box is used where the customer already has power conditioning or UPS systems external to the cabinet. 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 or without UIS) or AC Boxes. The two physical power sources are divided into two logical power sources. One physical power source (UPS or AC Box) 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. Note: 6402 or 6404 Tape Library modules do not provide for dual AC inputs. Therefore, power redundancy is not provided.
32
The information in the section, Dual AC Input Configurations, describes how to set up the customers site to take full advantage of dual AC. Note: UPS and AC Box cabling protocol is critical for each chassis in a dual AC system. Cabling is covered in detail in Appendix B, Cabling Diagrams and Switch Settings in the 6000 NCR Storage Cabinet 6286 Fibre Channel Modular Array Installation and Service Guide. The NSC 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, UPSs with UISs, or AC Box as shown in the following figures.

Dual AC Input Configurations

Each storage cabinet UPS, UPS with UIS, or AC Box 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, UPS/UIS, or AC Box to ground.
To use the redundancy of the power subsystem with two physical (two logical) UPSs, UPSs/UISs, or AC Boxes: 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 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

Customers should have two separate sources of AC power. 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
AC Wiring Diagrams
Figure 3-4 through Figure 3-7 show the AC wiring diagrams for 200/208VAC and 220/230/240VAC locations. Each distribution panel should be wired as shown for each cabinet power source. The illustrations show the wiring for leg A and leg B. 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. 200/208VAC single phase The power connection is line-to-line single phase connection. Neutral wires are not used. 220/230/240VAC single phase The power connection is line-to-neutral single phase connection.
Caution: The power plug must be correct for international use. For more information, see Input Power Cords, Plugs, and Receptacles, later in this chapter.

Chapter 3: Power Distribution and Grounding Requirements Grounding
Grounding
Grounding Requirements
A 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.

The UPS configuration determines how much battery time is available for normal system operation and/or graceful shutdown during an outage.
3 18
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 a UPS in a system or expansion cabinet. 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.
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 19
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.

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

Requirements
The environmental requirements for a 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 40C (50 to 104F) 20 to 80% 26C (79F) 2000 m (6560 ft)
-10 to 50C (14 to 120F) 10 to 90% Not Applicable Not Applicable
-40 to 60C (-40 to 140F) 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 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 3.30 C per 1000 m (6 F per 1000 ft.) between the altitude of 500 m (1640 ft.) and 3000 m (9850 ft.).

Uncrating, Moving, and Stabilizing a Cabinet

The following sections give important information for uncrating, moving, and stabilizing the NCR Storage Cabinet. See Figure 5-1 for an overview.
Uncrating Guidelines
Use the following guidelines when uncrating the NSC: 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

An NSC has the following handling requirements: A fully loaded 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. 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 1-3 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 1-3 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 NCR Storage Cabinet 6286 Fibre Channel 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 NCR Storage Cabinet 6286 Fibre Channel Modular Array Installation and Service Guide. Move the system to its final destination on site.

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 Customer Focused Team (CFTeam) 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 NSC 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 Foor 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 NCR Storage Cabinet. The CFTeam is responsible for ensuring that all applicable NCR service products are addressed. The CFTeam 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.
A2
Appendix A: Site Survey Conducting a Site Survey
Site Preparation Plan

Create a site preparation plan for each NCR Storage Cabinet site where equipment will be installed. As a minimum, the plan should contain the following information: Physical characteristics of the cabinet equipment Electrical requirements of each 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 CFTeam 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 CFTeam 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 CFTeam 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. Each UIS, UPS, or AC Box in a cabinet has its own power cord. A cabinet with two UISs, UPSs, or AC Boxes needs two receptacles, one for each UIS, UPS, or 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

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.

Attachment A: Transient Protection Data Line Transient Protection
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.
