System specifications and requirements

General safety guidelines

Observe the following general site guidelines:
General Requirements: The data center must comply with all applicable safety regulations,
standards, and requirements for installing and operating industrial computer equipment
similar to a P9500 disk array.
Fire protection: The data center must have an operational fire protection system appropriate
for use with computer and electrical equipment.
Hazards: The data center must be free of hazards (for example, cables on the floor that
block access or that can cause people to trip).
Equipment modifications: Do not make mechanical or electrical modifications to the
equipment. Hewlett Packard Enterprise is not responsible for regulatory compliance of a
modified Hewlett Packard Enterprise product.
Earthquake Safety: To minimize personal injury in the event of an earthquake, securely
fasten the control and drive chassis to a rigid structure extending from the floor to the ceiling
or from the walls of the room in which the system is located.
Cabling: Do not block walkways when routing cables. Do not place heavy materials on
cables. Do not place cables near any possible source of heat.
Warning and safety labels: Safety warnings, cautions, and instructions in various languages
are attached to the P9500 disk array components. The safety warnings provide guidelines
to follow when working with any equipment. Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that
you read all warning labels on the hardware. If warning labels become dirty, damaged,
unreadable, or peel off, contact the Hewlett Packard Enterprise support center.
Authorized personnel: Allow only qualified and authorized personnel (for example, a
certified electrician) to perform hazardous tasks.

Work safety guidelines

Observe the following site guidelines:
Do not wear loose clothing that could get caught in the equipment or mounting hardware.
Fasten your tie or scarf and roll up your sleeves.
Wear safety glasses when working under conditions that are hazardous to your eyes.
Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment
or rack unsafe.
Keep walkways clear of tools, power cables, and parts to prevent them from being stepped
on or causing people to trip and fall over them.
Do not work on the equipment or disconnect cables during a thunderstorm, when wearing
a wool sweater or other heavy wool clothing, or when power is applied.
Keep floors dry to prevent slips and falls.
Do not use ungrounded power cables.
Keep the area clear and dust free during and after installation.
Do not block or cover equipment openings. Ensure that all equipment has adequate airflow.
Failure to follow these guidelines can cause overheating and affect the system reliability.
The rack is equipped with casters so that you can move it short distances to position it for
final installation. Use enough personnel when moving a rack, especially on sloping loading
docks and ramps to a raised computer room floor. Move the cabinet slowly and deliberately,
