Site planning

Successful installation of the HPE 3PAR StoreServ 9000 Storage system requires careful planning and
supervision and may require collaboration with authorized Hewlett Packard Enterprise representatives.
Proper site planning will help provide for a more efficient installation and greater reliability, availability, and
serviceability.
Environment—For optimal performance at a specific location, controlled environmental conditions are
recommended, and they can best be facilitated through raised flooring and under-floor air conditioning. It
is the responsibility of the customer to monitor this environment to ensure continued conformance with
the recommended environmental specifications.
Power—Adequate power is necessary for the reliable functioning of electronic equipment and for the
safety of the installation. The customer is responsible for procuring, installing, and maintaining adequate
power to the equipment.
• Provide suitable space for unpacking, installing, and operating the storage system.
• Review the power and the heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) requirements. Provide
adequate power facilities for the storage system and maintain proper environmental conditions for the
storage system. Order any additional support equipment indicated by the power and HVAC review.
• Verify that the electrical service wiring has been installed at the predetermined location before
installing the storage system. For detailed requirements, see the respective product specifications.
• Supply the network connections and external cabling required by the storage system.
• Ensure that all units in the specified configuration and all cables of the required length have been
ordered.
• Make a layout for the installation.
• Enable the appropriate HPE 3PAR Remote Support strategy.
