Scope
This specification is intended to drive standardization and compatibility of Sun products which are to be installed in 19" standard Racks and Cabinets. The Requirements and guidelines within have been derived from several prominent industry standards with the goal of assuring that Sun products are as standard/generic as possible thus assuring compatiblity with our customer's Racks/Cabinets, as well as those provided by Sun that adhere to requirements within this specification. This specification is also designed to provide a clear set of definitions of Rack/Cabinet-related terms. The document has a glossary as well as a list of nomenclatures which are registered with the Nomenclature Architecture Council.
1.1
General Description, Rack Enclosure

The product described by this document is a configurable family of 19" EIA-310-D 38RU capacity rack enclosures available in three nominal depths of 600mm, 800mm, and 900mm. They are all 600mm width products that are designed for both shipping transportation and unpackaged transportability while fully configured within the limits described by this specification. The rack enclosures will be configurable with various options including a redundant Power Distribution Unit (PDU), cable management features, door options, fan options, and remote reporting capabilities. The rack enclosures are intended to support a variety of subrack products that conform to the Subrack Product Requirments within this specification.
1.2
General Description, Subrack Product

The contents of this specification contain dimensions targeted to allow Sun to place its equipment into 90% of our customers Racks/Cabinets. The dimensions have been derived by comparing the standards to customers and Rack/Cabinet manufactures dimensions, and the following standards have been determined based on maximum material conditions and tolerance.
1.3
General Description, "Standard Rack"

The term "Standard Rack" is widely misunderstood. There are two prominent Rack/Cabinet standards in the Data Center space: IEC, which is the prominent international standard, and EIA, a US standard. It is important to note that the Rack/Cabinet industry varies from region to region, standard to standard, and vendor to vendor. Catalogs and customers often refer to specific Rack/Cabinet sizes, and depth can be measured and/or listed in several ways from the outermost point (e.g., doors, like panels, side rails, etc.) from the front to rear of the frame, and from mounting surface to mounting surface. It is important to gather specific dimensions when comparing or responding to customers regarding Rack/Cabinet dimensions. For additional information on known customer Racks/Cabinets please refer to the Rack Team website: http://shac.eng/mechanical/rackteam

Definitions
Accommodate Rack/Cabinet can house or receive such a product but there is no assurance that there will be mounting hardware, and/or assurance that such a product will pass environmental specification such as EMI and shock vibration. ASP Application Service Provider. Bay A single aperture in a line-up or rack to accommodate electrical equipment. This can refer to a single rack in a line-up, when the racks are 'bayed or ganged together. Back-to-Back Telco line-ups are sometimes mounted back to back, limiting access to the front only. In this case the frame depth is typically 300mm or 12", which is usually inadequate for general purpose computer equipment. "C" Channel Bracket A form of slider bracket that captures the top and bottom edges of the product, providing a secure guide while installing and removing the product. Cabinet A freestanding and self-supporting enclosure for housing electrical and/or electronic equipment. It is typically fitted with doors and/or side panels, which may or MAY NOT be removable. Cable Air Gap A gap or clearance between a cable and the Rack/Cabinet. Cable Clearance The space required to accommodate cables and their minimum bend radius. Cable Management Features designed to route and contain cables to prevent damage, disconnection, overheating, and/ or interference. Cable Management Arm (CMA) Usually an articulated arm with one end attached to the movable subrack enclosure, and the other end attached to a fixed part of the rack or the subrack enclosure slide mounting feature. CO (Central Office) A dedicated telephony building that may contain a number of "line-ups" of equipment. The CO environment is largely defined in the US by Telcordia's NEBS family of documents and in Europe by ETSI's ETSI 300-119 and ETSI 300-019. NEBS-2000 is a set of spatial objectives that contain physical dimensions derived from ETSI 300-119. These metric dimensions are in turn derived from IEC 917.

Data Center A dedicated site that may contain a suite of racks containing equipment. These facilities typical have raised floors and considered secure.They typically have dedicated cooling, power, and network infrastructure. EIA The Electronics Industry Association, publishers of the EIA310-D Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and Associated Equipment Standard. EIA Type "A" Cabinet Preferred EIA Rack specification with no restrictions based on overall width, height or depth. EIA Type "B" Cabinet Cabinet with restrictions on overall height, width, and depth. Type "B" should be used when interfacing with IEC 917 metric hardware. EIA Type "C" Cabinet Similar to Style "B" but permits extended doors, side panels, tops, and other protrusions such as handles. EMI An Acronym for Electro Magnetic Interference. ETSI The European Telecommunications Standards Institute, publishers of ETS-300, the prevalent European central office standards document, setting rack and subrack standards. Flange Mount A subrack mounting technique that uses angle brackets mounted parallel to the vertical mounting rail. These are sometimes integrated into the chassis. Floor Tile A standard panel used in data centers. These panels are 2' x 2' squares and come in several varieties of strength and weight. Some floor tiles contain holes for cooling and or cables. Four Post Rack Similar to Two Post Racks but with four, rather than two vertical columns. These may simply be two, Two Post Racks positioned in close proximity. Frame A structure to support or attach components such as panels, skins, doors, and subracks. Hard Metric The use of preferred metric dimensions, without regard to the inch system. ISP Internet Service Provider

Spec. Number: 950-4207-01 Rev. 50
"L" Channel Bracket A bracket that allows one to easily slide a product on top of the bracket by providing two shelves to support the product. The product is usually secured in place at the front and/or rear rails. Line-Up A number of frames arranged in a row. These are typically bolted or bayed together and are likely to share a single frame ground connection. Maintenance Aisle The area in front of each line-up, row, or suite of Racks/Cabinets, where most repair activity takes place; this is a relatively wide and tidy space. The Maintenance Aisle is often determined by fire codes and OSHA. USfire codes aisle clearance is 36" (one and a half floor tiles). OSHA aisleway is 48" (two floor tiles). Metric Rack as defined in IEC 917 Mounting Flange The surface of a subrack or mounting kit that interfaces with the mounting rail, also known as mounting ears. Mounting Rail Mounting rails are the vertical flat surfaces where the Rack/Cabinet interfaces with the subrack mounting. Mounting rails can be fixed to the Rack/Cabinet or movable. The mounting rails may have threaded holes in either metric or english threads, or have a square or circular opening to receive mounting fasteners. NSP Network Service Provider. Open Frame Rack A Four Post or Two Post Rack, excluding any form of side panels, top panels, and doors which may or may not have fore and aft bracing. Panels Flat, rectangular structural members used for the external surface of the equipment. Panels are designed to be mounted on the mounting rails of the Cabinets or Racks. They are generally used for mounting controls, data presentation, apparatus or equipment. Product Window A volume of space in the rack enclosure between the RETMA mounting rail opening reserved exclusively for Subrack product. Rack An open structure for mounting electrical or electronic equipment. Rack Unit Rack Unit describes a vertical increment. EIA and IEC describe a Rack Unit as 44.45mm or 1.750. The Metric system utilizes a 25mm Rack Unit.

RETMA An Acronym for Radio Equipment and Telecommunications Association which defined the repeating mounting pattern which exists on most EIA/IEC racks. Relay Rack An open frame, Two Post Rack. The most popular CO variety is known as "Unequal Flange." The Relay Rack has a dimension of 5" between its mounting surfaces (front to rear), known as a "web." The web dimension may vary, as does the footprint. Seismic Term used to refer to equipment that must pass levels of shock and vibration that are commonly experienced with geologic events such as earthquakes. NEBS requires seismic rated hardware. Categorized in Zones 1 to 4, where Zone 4 is the most severe. Shelf Mount A platform on which subrack hardware can be mounted. This is an alternate mounting technique used by when Subrack mount kits are not compatible with the customer's Rack/Cabinets. Telescopic Slide Rail Mounting hardware that allows the subrack to be slid out of the rack to upgrade, service, and inspect components. The subrack enclosure is mounted to the slide rail. Slider Mounting A bracket that allows one to easily slide a product into the rack by providing a guide for the product to interface with. Soft Metric The exact conversion of inch dimensions to metric, usually resulting in odd metric numbers. (e.g., 1 = 25.4mm). Standard Rack Any Rack meeting the EIA, IEC, ETSI, or NEMA standards. Which standard and which version of the standard are key differentiators. A 24" deep 19" standard Rack/Cabinet can vary widely in exterior and interior dimension based on which standard is being used by the Rack/Cabinet manufacturer, and how they interpret that standard. Subrack A structural unit for housing electrical and electronic hardware intended for mounting in a rack.. Support To test, engineer, and qualify, mounting hardware for a subrack product in a particular Rack/Cabinet. Suite of Racks or Cabinets A row of Racks or Cabinets placed side by side, also called a line-up. Telco Rack A rack targeted at the central office market, which may follow the ETSI EN-300, IEC 60297, IEC 60917, or EIA 310-D, or other proprietary specification, such as the 5Ess from Lucent.

Two Post Rack An open frame with two vertical mounting structures. These are commonly found in ISPs, Networking, and Central Office. These Racks come in several widths 19," 23," and 24" being common, and several web depths or cross sections, 3",5," and 6" being common. "Usable Space" The interior volume available for cables and systems. Universal Mounting Rail Pitch The most common vertical hole pattern used in the rack mounting rail, as defined by RETMA and the EIA; it has additional holes centered on each RU increment. Wide Mounting Rail Pitch A vertical hole pattern in occasional use that doesn't provide the center holes of the Universal Mounting Rail Pitch. Wiring Aisle The area behind a line-up, row, or suite of Racks/Cabinets, that may be a relatively narrow, poorly lit space which is often less organized than the maintenance aisle. These typically have just enough room to open doors, and/or maneuver through the aisle. On-site repair staff may not be trained to work in the wiring aisle.

Sun Subrack Width Specification

Key requirements that drive product width: 1. Tolerances and variation in Rack/Cabinets commonly found in the field and through Sun manufacturing. 2. Sun and third party rack mount kits, including trays and "L" channels, that require side clearance for mounting. 3. Racks/cabinets built prior to EIA 310 D which have a 448mm (17.637) product window opening between mounting rails.

Sun Subrack Depth Specification

5.1 Maximum Depth Specification: Subracks, Type A
Type A: Products with front cosmetic bezels and/or systems with rear I/O only and are stationary mounted in the rack with front and/or rear FRU accessibility only. In this case, dimension "C" in Figure 5-1 includes outside enclosure suface to outside enclosure surface including any hardware protrusions (i.e., rivet fasteners, screws, etc). Additional front side only protrusions are allowed including Industrial Design Bezels, handles, and fasteners providing they remain completely within the allowed 25.4mm (1.00") for these protrusions. These dimensions are based on addressing the largest cross-section of Rack/Cabinets possible. In the case of the 600mm/24" specification this includes addressing EIA, IEC, and ETSI* standard Rack/Cabinets. This also accounts for non-standard Rack/Cabinets found in customer sites. To provide a cohesive product strategy and allow for simplified cable management, subrack products shall be within -13mm(0.5")/+0.00mm of the specified depths.

Subrack Mounting Bracket Attachment Requirements

This section will be completed based on an evaluation of all current and known future SMI rack mountable products resulting in the specification of standard mounting attachment locations and methods that support standard rack mounting slides and brackets. Timetable for this effort is TBD.
7.
Sun Subrack Airflow Specification

Sun Subracks shall utilize Front to Rear direction airflow only to meet product cooling requirements.
8. Subrack Product Environmental, Packaging, & Regulatory Standards

8.1 Subrack Environmental Specification
Subrack products must meet all of the appropriate environmental requirements as detailed in SMI's current revision of SMI's Specification: 990-1146-xx-xx "Guideline for Product Environment" under the heading of "Controlled Server Room (Racks). The operating and nonoperating shock and vibration requirements must be met while the subrack product is installed in the worst case location in the rack. The worst case location in the rack is to be agreed upon between the assigned Environmental Test Engineer and the Mechanical Project Manager and/or lead. The operating thermal and humidity requirements must be met while the subrack product is installed in the worst case configuration in the rack. The worst case configuration in the rack is to be agreed upon between the assigned Environmental Test Engineer and the Mechanical Project Manager and/or lead. The nonoperating temperature and humidity testing may be performed on the Subrack proudct as a stand alone system. The environmental requirements in this specification are in addition to any other environmental testing that maybe required for the subrack product (i.e., stand alone end use configurations).
8.2
Subrack Packaging Requirements

The subrack product must meet all of the requirements as detailed in the current revision of SMI's Specification: 950-1291-xx-xx "Specification Shipping Package Test" The subrack product must meet these requirements for while mounted in the worst case location and configuration in the rack with the congifured product packaging for the rack. The worst case location and configuration is to be agreed upon between the assigned Packaging Engineer and the Mechanical Project Manager and/or lead. The packaging requirements in this specification are in addition to any additional packaged testing that maybe required for the subrack product (i.e., Xoption, FRU, etc.).

Spec. Number: 950-4207-01 Rev. 50
8.3
Regulatory Requirements
The subrack product must meet all of the stand alone product regulatory requirements. Additionally the subrack product must conform to the current requirements outlined by SMI's Compliance group. These requirements can be found at: http://emidata.eng/World/Rack_Rules.txt They are presented below for convience and are the most current revision as of 9/11/01: - Immunity testing (ESD, EFT, Surge, Radiated RF, Conducted RF, Mag Field, and Volt Dips & Interruptions). For these tests, the single unit as the Equipment Under Test (EUT) {properly loaded and configured per the standards} without a rack enclosure is the worst case and therefore no additional immunity testing should be needed for rack configurations. If the initial immunity tests were with the EUT in an enclosed rack (or through a filtered power sequencer of a rack), then additional tests without these protections for the EUT are necessary to allow general, unrestricted use of the EUT in configs. - Harmonic and Voltage Flicker Emissions tests. The standards call these out as "per power cord" tests (unless designed such that the separate circuits are intended to switch simultaneously); thus, the individual EUT tests meet the requirements for rack configs without additional testing. - Radiated and Conducted Emissions. CISPR-22:1997 includes the so-called "2 dB guidance" which states that the test configuration "...should be limited to the condition where the addition of another [identical] cable [or board, card, module,...] does not decrease the margin a significant amount (for example 2 dB) with respect to the limit." Taking the worst-case approach (assuming identical emission sources, all perfectly in phase and on frequency), each doubling of items would increase the emissions by 6 dB; however, going from 5 to 6 items would increase the emissions only about 1.6 dB and going from 6 to 7 items would increase the emissions only about 1.3 dB (under the 2 dB guidance number). Thus, to save time and effort, we project that if we test emissions with 6 identical units simultaneously, we can make the case that if this passes, then we have met the intent of standards with minimum testing requirements. Further, since 6 identical units are MORE likely to add worst-case than an assortment of different units in a configuration, then any number of these units may be used in combination with other similarly "6-of tested" units without the need for further testing. There are, however, several subtleties to the 6-of testing such as rack shielding and power distribution unit filtering that need to be taken into consideration. Our plan, therefore, moving forward is to perform 6-of Radiated Emissions testing in either an open telco-style rack (complete with overhead cabling) for equipment that supports this style of racking, or for standard commercial products testing in an open telco-style rack or open-door'd commercial rack with "under-floor" cabling . 6-of Conducted Emissions testing is to be done with the units not routed through the sequencer (when qualifying the sequencer itself, units are to be routed through it). Furthermore, since not all testing can be performed with 6 units (either due to cost, availability, or other reasons), the "Rule-of-Six" requriements can be met by testing less than 6
Page 25 of 29
Spec. Number: 950-4207-01 Rev. 50
units, but requiring a larger margin. The base-line for the "Rule-of-Six" is that 6 units must pass with a minimum of 3 dB of margin (note margin waiver policy also exists: between margin requirement and on half of margin requirement requires Product Boss approval on a margin waiver form, with less than one half of margin requirement [up to 0 margin] requires the approval of a V.P. on the margin waiver form). Given this baseline, the following margins are considered to have passed the Rule-of-Six requirements: Number of identical units Margin for Rule-of-Six pass ------------------------- --------------------------6 3 dB 5 4 dB 4 6 dB 3 8 dB 2 11 dB 1 17 dB Alternately, conformance may also be demostrated by testing and then adding an additional unit, retest, and compare the results; however, because of unit-to-unit variation and standard measurement uncertainty issues, this method must be used with care to ensure that the pass conclusions are valid and not a measurement artifact. - Declarations of Conformity: We do not issue Declarations of Conformity for specific rack configurations since the rack itself has a Compliance Model Number it will have a Declaration (Compliance Model Numbers map 1-to-1 to Declaration of Conformities), the Declarations of the component parts remain (similar to combining the Declarations for a System with the Declarations for an interface installed into the system). In cases where the rack configuration will result in a separate User's Guide, a statement will be added in this User's Guide informing the customer that the individual Declarations apply to the configuration (exact wording of this statement will be provided soon). It would be best if at least one copy of the User's Guide for each of the individual items be included with the configuration to ensure that all the appropriate individual regulatory items are included. - Compliance Labels: As with the Declarations, we do not provide configuration-specific compliance labels (unless required under extreme special cases), the compliance label of the rack is used for all configurations sold in that rack. - 3rd party parts and 6-of exceptions: It is expected that we will be integrating 3rd party components or systems into various configurations, including potentially integrating components into a 3rd party rack. Sun, as the integrator, will therefore have to have on hand regulatory documentation for world-wide compliance of the 3rd party item (Safety and EMC/EMI reports as well as Declarations and certifications just like for our own products). Depending on the product, we may need multiple-unit emission reports (6-of reports and/or data of the item's compliance when used with Sun systems. That is: 3rd party components should be expected to meet our Big Rules. 6-of exceptions (for example: data indicating special requirements such as need for rack door shielding or restriction on number of installed units) or 3rd party part exceptions (such as lack of registration in certain countries) may cause significant impacts on Sun, therefore they will require a V.P. waiver approval for release (similar to the low margin waiver policy).

9. Subrack Serviceability Requirements

Fixed Subrack service access: All products shall be serviceable from the front or rear of the racks and shall not require the rack side panels to be removed or the rack to be moved out of it's lineup. Slide mounted Subrack service access: Telescopic slide rails shall extend the system far enough forward to facilitate access to any hotswap or other required serviceable components from the front of the rack. Telescopic Slide, Minimum Travel Rack Nominal Depth Enclosure Depth Minimum Travel 600mm / 23.6 17.3 / 439.42mm 20..3 / 515.62mm 800mm / 31.5 21.0 / 533.40mm 24.0 / 609.60mm 900mm / 35.5 24.0 / 609.60mm 27.0 / 685.80mm
The following service preferences are listed in order of preference: 1. 2. 3. Front-only maintenance access. FRU's accessible from front or rear of the rack with the chassis stationary in the rack. Telescopic slide rails must be used on those products that require top or side service/upgrade access. To facilitate service from front or rear of the rack. (*When Telescopic slide rails are used, a cable management unit shall manage the cables to prevent cables disconnecting and improve service time.) Subracks shall have clearly visible serial number/part number barcodes on the front and rear of the subrack that are visible without removing panels or moving cables. All power cords of rack mounted systems shall provide a form of positive retention.

Cable Clearence Guidelines

10.1 Sun Cable Clearance
Note: Sun has customers who will refuse products in their Racks/Cabinets if there is not at least 76.2mm (3") for cables with the subrack installed. The recommended cable clearance space may change due to restrictions of infiniband cables to 4.5".
10.2
Cable Clearance EMC Storage

EMC third party storage uses a large cable with a significantly large overmold and large bend radius. EMC recommends 90mm (3.5" ) of clearance for their cables.
10.3
Three Phase Cable Clearance

Three Phase power connectors and cables require significantly more cable and connector clearance to properly route. Sun is in the process of defining a standard 3 phase connector and cable spec for future systems clearance specifications will be updated here when available. For planning purposes designers should allow at least 6" for three phase cables and connectors, This will significantly reduce the depth of the subrack in the power connect area.
10.4
Cable to Door Clearance Recommendations

Sun recommends a 5mm (.20") minimum space to be maintained between cables and the rear panel or door of a rack to minimize potential EMI issues.
