    relative humidity for a subsystem equipment room should be set at 40%. This level is sufficient to suppress electromagnetic charge buildup, and low enough to avoid the risk of corrosion and condensation. To avoid air contamination from the humidifier, water treatment may be necessary in areas with high mineral content.
  • Page 21 Precautions must be taken to prevent material particles (concrete or metal particles for example.) from becoming airborne. Storage systems should be powered down during construction that requires any drilling, sawing, welding, brazing, and so on. In addition, all debris must be removed before powering up the systems.

    4 Power Requirements The following describes all power domains within a HP 3PAR StoreServ 7450 Storage systems. Electrical Requirements and Limitations Before physically installing a storage system, verify that the operating site has the necessary electrical circuitry. Each storage system requires four (200 - 240) Volt, 30 Amp outlets, or two outlets if only the bottom half of the rack is occupied.

  • Page 23: Emergency Power Control

    Power Distribution Units In HP-integrated storage systems, four PDUs are mounted horizontally below the enclosures at the bottom rear of the rack. Numbers for PDUs are assigned beginning with 0, from bottom to top. NOTE: If a storage system rack does not have components installed in the top portion of the rack, do not connect and use the two upper PDUs (PDU 2 and PDU 3) to power the system.
