GB 4943.23-2012 Information technology equipment—Safety—Part 23:Large data storage equipment
Abstract
The requirements of this part of GB 4943 apply to information technology equipment with built-in data storage systems and dangerous moving parts. These data storage systems are typically large enough to allow a person to fully enter, and they also include similar large equipment that allows an entire limb or head to enter the area with dangerous moving parts. The requirements of this part are an addition to the relevant requirements of IEC 60950-1. Storage components are typically characterized by a three-dimensional space of 0.75 m3 or more for movement.
These devices should be installed in restricted access areas, such as data centers. The exceptions mentioned in 2.1.3 and 4.5.4 of IEC 60950-1:2005, as noted in Note 1, do not apply to this part.
Note 1: Examples of equipment included in this part: automatic mass storage and retrieval systems used with dangerous moving parts for processing recorded media (such as tape drives, film cartridges, optical discs) and similar functions.
This part does not apply to equipment that does not contain dangerous moving parts itself, such as robot equipment installed in industrial environments.
Note 2: For robot equipment in industrial environments, see the relevant standards GB 5226.1, GB 5226.3, and GB 11291.1.
