ActiveScale™ X100 Installation Guide
• Cables - consider removing cables, including ramped cable covers, from the walking path before
moving the pallet. Leaving the cables in place creates a safety hazard for the installation team and can
damage the cables.
• Lift locations - there may be locations along the walking path where the system must be lifted in
order to proceed. Make sure that lift equipment is available at this location on the day of the delivery.
• Elevators - ensure that any elevators that will be required to lift the equipment to the data center/
computer room are rated to carry the full load of the system plus passengers.
2.4 Airflow considerations
Ensure that both the front and rear of the ActiveScale X100 stay clear of any materials that may block or
disrupt the airflow in any way. Disrupting the airflow can cause the system to overheat, which may affect
performance or cause damage to the system.
The following rack airflow principles should be considered for best results:
• Controlled air conditioners that are functional and can sufficiently maintain specified system
operating temperatures should be located in the facility where the system will be installed.
• The airflow in and out of the equipment must not be restricted.
