2 Preparing your site
Overview
Preparing your site means providing:
• Physical rack space for the equipment
• AC power for the array
• Proper ventilation and temperature conditions
• LAN or Fibre Channel cables to attach the array hardware to your network
To ensure continuous, safe, and reliable operation of your equipment, place your system in an
approved environment.
Consider using the HP Enterprise Configurator (eCO) to help plan and configure racks and
rack-mountable devices. The eCO is available on the HP website:

Click Configure under Disk products.
Provide adequate structural support for the floor
Calculate the total weight of your equipment and verify that your site can support the weight.
Provide adequate clearance space and ventilation
Be sure to provide adequate clearance around the front and back of the racks. Provide at least
25 inches (63.5 cm) in the front of the rack to allow the doors to open fully and provide at least
30 inches (76.2 cm) in the rear of the rack to allow for servicing and airflow.
If there are unused spaces in your rack, attach blanking panels across those empty spaces to force
the airflow through the components instead of through the open spaces.
Provide adequate and redundant sources of power
Make sure that you have two high-line power feeds installed near your computer. These two power
sources usually come from the same external power grid, but occasionally may originate from
different grids or even entirely different sources.
For protection against a power-source failure, obtain and include two uninterruptible power supplies
in your installation.
For power consumption specifications, see the QuickSpecs document at:

Remove product from packaging
1. Remove product from boxes.
2. Verify that contents match your expectations and site requirements.
