Securing Kit Overview 9

Installation overviewSome customers require that their EMC equipment be installed to withstand significantshock and vibration. Installation of Securing Kits, in combination with adequatesubstrate construction, can mitigate collateral damage during such events.

The Securing Kits contain heavy floor and top brackets for the system bays. The floorbrackets are attached to the floor using bolts that engage the flooring substructure withinthe computer room or data center. The top brackets secure the tops of adjacent bays.

Securing Kits can be installed on system bays without lifting the bays.

Types of bracketsVMAX system bays are secured with two types of brackets:

l Floor brackets — Secure the outermost parameters of the array configuration to thefloor.The following image shows the floor securing brackets. If the configuration includesonly one bay, floor brackets secure the front, back, right and left of the bay.

If the configuration includes additional bays, front and rear brackets are installed oneach system bay, and right and left brackets are installed on the right and left of theoutermost bays.

l Top brackets — Secure the tops of adjacent bays to each other. Figure 2 on page 13shows top securing brackets.

Task overviewInstalling Securing Kits involves:

l Understanding the system layout and the position of the floor and top brackets thatsecure the system.

l Positioning brackets and drilling holes in the computer room floor to accommodatebracket securing bolts.

l Securing the system bays.


Task overview 13

Laying out the securing bracketsTo layout the securing brackets on raised or unraised floors, you must understand thelayout and dimensions of the system bays.

System bays are the same size. System bays are secured to the floor with floor brackets,and along the top with T brackets.

Floor brackets are attached directly to raised or non raised floors.

Dimensions and layoutOn arrays with system bay 1 only, the system bay is secured to the floor with a front, rear,right and left bracket.

On systems with multiple, adjacent bays, bays are secured with:

l A front and rear bracket on each bay

l A right and left bracket on the outermost bays

l An upper T bracket between bays (secures the top)

Hole drilling requirementsInstalling floor brackets requires the drilling of holes that affix the floor brackets directlyto a raised or non raised floor.

When drilling holes:

l Remove system bay doors for easier access.

l To maximize pullout force and transverse stability, EMC recommends securing allbrackets, and all holes within each bracket.

l Make sure the floor can be drilled without compromising its strength.It may be necessary to reinforce the floor. Contact the flooring contractor/supplier orbuilding engineer to determine the best way to proceed.

l Raised floors do not offer significant resistive strength. On a raised floor, the anchorbolts should go through the raised floor and be tied using cables and turnbuckles, orfastened directly with high strength threaded fasteners into the subfloor or superstructure on the subfloor.

Note

One method to locate the holes accurately is to mount the anchor brackets loosely to thesystem bays, using the instructions in the following sections. Mark the hole locations inpencil, and then remove the brackets and drill the holes.

l Drilled holes should be of 1/2-inch diameter (1.27cm) or larger.If you are mounting the system bays on a nonraised floor, the diameter of the holesmust be large enough to take 1/2-inch threaded inserts. Install the inserts in themanner recommended by the manufacturer. EMC recommends a proprietaryfastening system, such as HILTI, for use on nonraised floors.

For a raised-floor installation, drill the holes 5/8-inch (1.59cm) diameter. This sizeallows for any tolerance buildup in the hole pattern.

Bracket Installation 23

Installing bracketsTo install brackets on a system bay:

Procedure

1. If desired, remove bay doors for easier access to the floor.

2. At the rear of the system bay, loosely attach a front/rear bracket to the bay frameusing three 3/8 ID flat washers and three 3/8-16X1.5L hex cap screws, as shown inthe following image.

Figure 11 Attach floor brackets to system bays

(3 each bracket)

3. At the front of the system bay, loosely attach a front/rear bracket to the bay frameusing three 3/8 ID flat washers and three 3/8-16X1.5L hex cap screws.

4. At the rear of the adjacent bay, if present, loosely attach a bracket to the bay frameusing three 3/8 ID flat washers and three 3/8-6X1.5L hex cap screws, as shown in theprevious image.



5. At the front of the adjacent bay, loosely attach a front/rear bracket to the bay frameusing three 3/8 ID flat washers and three 3/8-16X1.5L hex cap screws.

6. Repeat step 1 through step 4 to secure additional bays.

7. When all front and rear brackets are installed, attach a left/right bracket to each sideof the outer bays using three 3/8 ID flat washers and three 3/8-16X1.5L hex capscrews, as shown in the previous image.

8. Align one T-bracket with the installation holes at the top of each two bays to beconnected, as shown in the following image.

10. Repeat step 6 and step 7 until all bays are connected to each other.

11. Tighten all screws on the front, rear, and side brackets.


Installing brackets 25

Securing the bay to the floorThis section provides guidelines to fasten the system bays with brackets, previouslyinstalled on the bays, to the floor.

Nonraised floorTo fasten a bay to a nonraised floor, the following guidelines are provided:

Procedure

1. Make sure the holes on the brackets line up with the inserts you installed in the floor.

2. Fasten the brackets with 1/2-inch diameter grade 8 bolts to the inserts you installedin the floor.

3. Repeat step 1 and step 2 for all bays.

4. Reinstall all bay doors.

Raised floorTo fasten the bays to a raised floor, the following guidelines are provided:

Procedure

1. Make sure the holes on the brackets line up with the holes you drilled in the floor.

2. Fasten the brackets to the floor using 1/2-inch diameter grade 8 bolts, to a substrateor reinforcing member beneath the floor.

3. Repeat steps 1 and step 2 for all bays.

4. Reinstall all bay doors.
