Site requirements for the ESS

ESS Introduction and Planning
v Hardcopies of the service guide.
v Two compact discs for the operating system.
v Compact disc for the operating system for program temporary fixes (PTFs).
v Compact disc for the operating system for service diagnostics.
You also need the following equipment for installing and operating the ESS:
v An analog telephone line near the ESS to enable remote support. The service
interface provides an RS232 connection, through a modem switch, to the analog
telephone line.
v Power cable connectors. The ESS requires two power cables that are country
dependent and location dependent. You need the correct connectors as identified
in "Power cable and power connector requirements" on page 60 and "Power
cable connectors" on page 61.
v Power outlets that are compatible with the extension cords listed in "Extension
cords" on page 28. Outlets must be within 3 m (9 ft) of the ESS. See "Power
features" on page 25 for details on power requirements.
IBM might periodically release engineering changes (ECs) to the materials in the
ship group to correct problems or provide additional support. IBM might ship ECs as
either mandatory or optional field bills. You should install the mandatory field bills as
directed by IBM.
Notes:
1. The compact disc label indicates the EC level of the LIC.
2. The ESS stores three EC levels of LIC code for the ESS and for any DDMs that
IBM has installed on the ESS. The ESS stores a new EC level prior to
activating it as the current level.
See Table 11 on page 51 for the physical characteristics of the IBM Enterprise
Storage Server.
IBM ships all models in an Arbo Crate. The Arbo Crate weighs 228 kg (504 lbs).
The local carrier is responsible for delivering the ESS as close to its final location
as possible. The carrier is also responsible for unloading the ESS and removing the
crate and returning it to IBM.
To compensate for the weight of the ESS models, IBM recommends that the
loading dock ramp at your site does not exceed an angle of 12°.
CAUTION:
A fully configured unit in the crate can weigh up to 1500 kilograms (3305
pounds). Use of less than three persons to move it can result in injury.
1060.
Table 11 on page 51 gives the dimensions and weights of the ESS models.
