DECsystem 5900 Site Preparation

This document, "DECsystem 5900 Site Preparation," provides essential information for preparing a computer room for the DECsystem 5900 server. It outlines the physical characteristics, environmental requirements, and power specifications necessary for its installation.

Key details include:

• Physical Dimensions: The server weighs approximately 440 kg (970 lb) and measures 170 cm (66.9 in) high, 61 cm (24.0 in) wide, and 86.4 cm (34.0 in) deep. Its shipping weight is slightly higher at 485 kg (1070 lb).
• Environmental Requirements: Specifies conditions for acoustics (7.2 bels), airflow (front intake, back exhaust), altitude (0 to 3,000 m), humidity (20% to 80%), maximum heat dissipation (1560 Watts), service clearance (90 cm front, 56 cm back), and operating temperature (0° to 32° C or 32° to 90° F).
• Power Requirements: Detailed for both 120 Vac and 230 Vac systems, including:
  • Frequency range: 47 to 63 Hz for both.
  • Maximum configuration power: 1560 Watts for both.
  • Nominal voltage: 120 Volts or 220 Volts.
  • Power cable length: 4.5 m (14.7 ft).
  • Start-up current: 30 rms Amps (120 Vac) or 16 rms Amps (230 Vac).
  • Specific AC plug types (e.g., NEMA L5-30P for 120 Vac) and country-specific 230 Vac power cable and plug numbers are listed.

The document serves as a guide to ensure the site is adequately prepared for the DECsystem 5900 server.
