Greetings Toasters,
Please bear with me, I'm not an electrician.
We are constructing a new data center and we are standardizing our racks and the power feeding them. We plan to move some netapp hardware to the new data center, which is currently installed in netapp cabinets where each cabinet is powered by 4 240V 30 amp circuits.
The racks in the new data center will be powered by 6 120V 20 amp circuits each. That is less power than we have in our netapp cabinets, but we can simply put less equipment in the new racks if necessary.
I am pretty sure that this will not cause us any problems. We already have several FAS2050 controller pairs and DS14MK2 disk shelves installed in non-netapp racks plugged into 120V outlets.
Can FAS6040 and FAS3170 heads be plugged into 120V ? (I will double check the hardware specs.)
We could move the netapp cabinets to the new data center, but then we need to reserve floor space for the cabinets and run 240V circuits to them. We would rather use the new standard racks/power.
