Introduction
Introduction
This Vblock Infrastructure Platforms Series 300 Physical Planning Guide includes the information required to
plan for installing a Vblock Platform at a customer site. The guide is designed to be used by VCE field
personnel and partners while assisting customers in planning their data center requirements for a Vblock
Series 300 Infrastructure Platform. Use this document in conjunction with the Site Survey document to
determine any modifications that may be required in the customers data center.
The product data provided in this document is for reference only. For the most current product
specifications, refer to the manufacturers documentation.
Refer to the VCE Glossary for additional information.
To suggest documentation changes and provide feedback on this book, send an email to

Panduit reference documentation

This topic provides links to Panduit cabinet and POU documentation.
Panduit cabinet documentation

The Panduit cabinet is custom for VCE but is very similar to Panduit part number S722C129F. The primary
differences between this cabinet and the VCE cabinet are:
No branding
Not dynamic
Does not include caster
For more information about the Panduit cabinet, refer to:

The customer PDF includes all similar cabinets of the same style with slight option variations
and two heights. VCE uses the 700 mm x 42 RU size.

Note:
Weights include 386 lbs for the cabinet. These specifications do not include RecoverPoint appliances.
Shipping weights
To determine the total shipping weight for a particular Vblock, add the packing materials and other
components for a particular system as specified in the Cabinet specifications.
Cisco Unified Computing System Power Calculator

To calculate the current draw and heat dissipation of each blade in a specific configuration, use the Cisco
Unified Computing System Power calculator at
www.cisco.com/assets/cdc_content_elements/flash/dataCenter/cisco_ucs_power_calculator/.

Blade power consumption

For information about calculating blade power consumption, refer to the Vblock Infrastructure Platforms
Blade Packs Reference.
Cabinet specifications
Vblock Panduit NetSERV cabinets come with locking front and back cabinet doors that use the same key.
Keys are shipped attached with cable ties to the front door. Cabinets are shipped with two side panels. The
cabinets are designed to be built contiguously and to be bolted together. Because of this, there is no need for
side panels between the cabinets.
Note:
Note: We do not encourage customers to put space between the cabinets. Doing this would require
an extended lead time on the order as the cross-abinet connections would not reach and custom
cables would need to be ordered.
Panduit does extensive testing to ensure the casters can support the cabinet weight and up to 2000 pounds of
equipment.
The following illustration shows the Vblock Panduit cabinet dimensions:
