Figure 12: Unloading the HPE rack from the pallet

Positioning and stabilizing the HPE rack

CAUTION: To prevent potential damage to the storage system equipment, do not adjust the position
of the HPE rack when the power is on.
Prerequisites
• Read and complete all the configuration specifications and installation requirements in the HPE 3PAR
StoreServ 9000 Storage Site Planning Manual available at the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Information
Library website:
http://www.hpe.com/info/storage/docs
• Obtain an adjustable wrench for leveling the feet on the HPE rack.
Procedure
1. Roll the HPE rack to the final operating location. If the operating location has raised floor tiles with
cutouts to facilitate cable routing, position the rack over the cutouts in the tiles.
2. Stabilize and level the HPE rack.
After properly positioning the storage system, four leveling pads must be installed underneath the four
leveling bolts to stabilize the HPE rack and prevent movement during operation. The leveling pads are
normally located in a plastic bag in the box that contains rack keys and accessory material. The
leveling pads provide a wider base for supporting the rack and protecting the floor.
