Verify environmental requirements
The environmental and electrical requirements for the physical site must be met to ensure that your system
works reliably.
Before installing a Lenovo Storage V7000 system, you must verify that adequate space in a suitable rack is
available. You must also ensure that the requirements for power and environmental conditions are met.
This guide assumes that you have completed the physical planning for the environment of your system. If you
have not done the environmental planning for your system, see the "Lenovo Storage V7000 physical installation
planning" topic in the Information Center for Lenovo Storage V7000. The topic is available at this location:

Review enclosure location guidelines
Before you install the enclosures, you must be familiar with these enclosure location guidelines.
Installing a control enclosure only
If you are installing a control enclosure only, follow these guidelines.
• Position the enclosure in the rack so that you can easily view it and access it for servicing.
• Locate the enclosure low enough for the rack to remain stable.
• Ensure that you provide a way for two or more people to install and remove the enclosure.
