Electrical specifications

The Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform 5000 series storage system Power Distribution Units (PDUs) support single-phase AC power.

The Hitachi rack comes with either two, four, or six PDUs, depending on the PDU model selected. The PDUs are installed vertically in the rack.

  • If two PDUs are selected, one will be installed on the left side of the rack and the other will be installed on the right side.
  • If four PDUs are selected, the PDUs will be half-length and mounted vertically, one above the other, with two on the left side of the rack and two on the right side.
  • If six PDUs are selected, the PDUs will be 1/3-length and mounted vertically, one above the other, with three on the left side of the rack and two on the right side.
NoteThe current and power specifications of the storage system in the following tables were measured in a controlled environment. To calculate the power and current draw, and heat output of a specific system, see Physical specifications or use the weight and power calculator at the following URL:https://www.hitachivantara.com/ext/weight-and-power-calculator.html .

If you need assistance using this tool, contact Hitachi Vantara Support athttps://support.hitachivantara.com/en/contact-support.html .

  1. When two power supplies are operating, each power supply provides about half of the required power for the storage system. When only one of the two power supplies is operating, the power supply provides all required power for the storage system. Therefore, use the power supplies that meet the rated input current for when one power supply is operating.

The following table shows the supported input voltage and frequency for the controller chassis, drive box, and node interconnect switch.

  • Use PDU with the standard plug.
  • If PDU is provided with connecting type B plug, use PDU with circuit breaker of 20 (16) A or less, or install circuit breaker of 20 (16) A in the power supply.

  1. Fire suppression systems and acoustic noise: Hitachi does not test storage systems and hard disk drives for compatibility with fire suppression systems and pneumatic sirens. Hitachi also does not provide recommendations or claim compatibility with any fire suppression systems and pneumatic sirens. Customer is responsible to follow their local or national regulations.
  2. See ANSI/ISA-71.04-2013 Environmental Conditions for Process Measurement and Control Systems: Airborne Contaminants.
  3. Meets the highest allowable temperature conditions and complies with ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers) 2011 Thermal Guidelines Class A2. The maximum value of the ambient temperature and the altitude is from 35 degrees C at an altitude of 950 meters (3000 feet) to 28 degrees C at an altitude of 3050 meters (10000 feet). The allowable ambient temperature is decreased by 1 degree C for every 300-meter increase in altitude above 950 meters.
  4. The acoustic level is measured under the following conditions in accordance with ISO7779 and the value is declared based on ISO9296.

    In a normal installation area (data center/general office), the storage system is surrounded by different elements from the following measuring conditions according to ISO, such as noise sources other than the storage system (other devices) , the walls and ceilings that reflect the sound.

    Therefore, the values described in the table do not guarantee the acoustic level in the actual installation area.

    • Measurement environment: In a semi-anechoic room whose ambient temperature is 23 degrees C ± 2 degrees C

    • Device installation position: The Controller Chassis is at the bottom of the rack and the Drive Box is at a height of 1.5 meters in the rack

    • Measurement position: 1 meter away from the front, rear, left, or right side of the storage system and 1.5 meters high (at four points)

    • Measurement value: Energy average value of the four points (front, rear, left, and right)
  5. Sound pressure level [LA] changes from 45 dB to 63 dB according to the ambient temperature, drive configuration and operating status. The maximum could be 67 dB during maintenance procedure for failed ENC or Power Supply.

  6. NVMe drives have a temperature range from 10 ºC to 35 ºC while in operation.
