Floor covering

HP recommends the use of a tiled raised ﬂoor.

CAUTION:

HP strongly discourages the use of carpeting, including antistatic varieties, within 6.0 m

(20 ft.) of the disk array. Over time, carpeting may shed dust that can cause problems

with the disk array.

CAUTION:

If your computer room has carpeting, place static discharge mats so that personnel

must walk across them before touching any part of the array. Failure to comply with this

precaution can result in equipment damage through static discharge.

The following two ﬁgures show the locations of ﬂoor cutouts under the DKC and DKU.

Basically, position ﬂoor cutouts toward the center of the cabinet. The position may be

off-center as long as the cutout is within the allowable range and allows smooth entrance

of an external cable (check the relationship between the position of the cutout and the

opening on the bottom of the cabinet).
