Safety requirements

When making decisions concerning site safety, your first concern should be the safety of
your personnel and then the safety of your equipment.
Fundamental safeguards for disk arrays should include a site well away from any
sources of potential damage.
If you have any questions on site safety, consult your HP representative, your insurance
carrier, and local building inspectors for safety recommendations.

Fire safety

WARNING!
Do not install or operate the disk array in an environment where there is a risk of
fire or explosion due to the presence of highly flammable gases, volatile liquids, or
combustible dust.
Consult your insurance carrier and local fire department for fire safety suggestions. They
can analyze your existing fire control systems and advise you on any required changes.
If you are building a new site or making structural changes to an existing site, consult
your local building codes for fire prevention and protection guidelines.

Equipment servicing hazards

Your staff and HP service personnel require safe access to the disk array. Running
electrical and data communication cables underneath your computer room's raised floor
is the best way to ensure that they do not create a safety hazard.

Electrical hazards

The disk array equipment racks contain dangerous voltages. To prevent injury or death
from electric shock, refer all electrical installation and service to qualified personnel.
