Note:
*Fire suppression systems and acoustic noise: Some data center inert gas fire suppression systems when activated release gas from pressurized cylinders that moves through the pipes at very high velocity. The gas exits through multiple nozzles in the data center. The release through the nozzles could generate high-level acoustic noise. Similarly, pneumatic sirens could also generate high-level acoustic noise. These acoustic noises may cause vibrations to the hard disk drives in the storage systems resulting in I/O errors, performance degradation in and to some extent damage to the hard disk drives. Hard disk drives (HDD) noise level tolerance may vary among different models, designs, capacities and manufactures. The acoustic noise level of 90 dB or less in the operating environment table represents the current operating environment guidelines in which Hitachi storage systems are designed and manufactured for reliable operation when placed 2 meters from the source of the 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. The customer is responsible to follow their local or national regulations. To prevent unnecessary I/O error or damages to the hard disk drives in the storage systems, Hitachi recommends the following options:
Damage to the hard disk drives from fire suppression systems or pneumatic sirens will void the hard disk drive warranty. |
