The array can be placed on a desk or table. Use the following guidelines to prepare
a location for your system.
1. Choose a desk or table that can support up to 63 pounds (28.6 kg)—which are the
weights for one fully configured array.
2. Leave enough space in front and in back of the array to access components.
Caution – Allow a minimum of 30 in (762 mm) of free space in front and in back of
the array for fire safety reasons, adequate air flow, and access to parts for
serviceability.
3. Keep power and interface cables clear of foot traffic.
Route cables inside walls, under the floor, through the ceiling, or in protective
channels. Route interface cables away from motors and other sources of magnetic or
radio frequency interference.
4. Make sure that the SCSI cable length does not exceed the maximum SCSI bus
length of 12 meters, as described in "SCSI Connections" on page 1-15.
5. Ensure that the operating environment for the array does not exceed the
specifications.
See Appendix A for environmental specifications.
6. Place the array horizontally in the designated location.
Caution – Use two people to lift the array to avoid injury. It can weigh up to 63
pounds (28.6 kg).
Caution – Do not place the array in a vertical position.
7. If you are installing a second array, you can stack it on top of the first array or
place it next to the first one.
You are now ready to begin configuration. Go to "To Configure and Cable the
Array" on page 2-6.
