Equipment Weight; Storage Requirements; Data Center Requirements; Data Communication Requirements - HP P9000 Manual

Equipment weight

The floors, elevators, and ramps must be able to support the weight of the delivered equipment as
it is moved to the installation location. Spreader plates may be required to distribute the load and
protect the floor as the equipment is moved from the receiving area to the installation location.
Consult the system bill of materials to establish the anticipated summary weights.
The weight of the equipment depends on the disk array configuration. The weight for a fully
configured disk array with 6 racks can reach 8560 pounds/3883 kilograms. The following table
provides weights of typical system configurations.

Storage requirements

If the equipment must be stored after delivery and prior to installation, the storage location must
meet the storage environmental requirements for the P9500 disk array. See the
19) in this chapter for environmental storage requirements.

Data center requirements

The data center must meet the following facilities requirements:

Data communication requirements

Route data communication cables away from areas of high static electric fields created by power
transformers and heavy foot traffic. Use shielded data communication cables that meet approved
industrial standards to reduce the effects of external fields.
The P9500 frames support top access and bottom access for hot cables. Routing the host cables
in a P9500 requires HP support personnel to install. The data communication infrastructure needed
for the P9500 disk array is described in

1558/707
Description
The data center must provide appropriate power, air conditioning, cabling, and fire
protection.
The data center must provide adequate protection from electrostatic discharge (ESD).
The data center must provide adequate protection from electrical/radio frequency
interference.
The data center must provide adequate protection from dust, pollution, and particulate
contamination.
The data center must provide adequate acoustic insulation for operating the system.
This includes cables, connectors, and receptacles that must be available and ready
when the system is installed.
