Site Preparation Guidelines
Preparing for Installation
protection for safety of personnel and to protect computer systems. In the
United States (USA), the installation of lightning or surge arrestors on
power and communication lines is described in the National Electrical
Code, Article 280.
The principles of lightning protection and personnel safety are outlined
in detail in the lightning protection code contained in the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) Handbook. The Hewlett-Packard CE can
make lightning protection equipment recommendations.
Vibration
Continuous vibration can cause a degradation of mechanical parts.
Vibration can cause data loss on disc drives. Mechanical connections on
printed circuit assemblies, connectors, cables, and backplane wiring can
also be adversely affected by vibration.
If you suspect that vibration may be a problem at your computer site,
contact your Hewlett-Packard CE or local sales office for assistance.
Electromagnetic Interference
The J Class workstation is specifically designed for reduced
susceptibility to radiated and conducted interference. Electromagnetic
interference can cause a variety of computer system problems. The
Hewlett-Packard CE can advise you about many of the most common
causes of electromagnetic interference.

Environmental Considerations

NOTE
There are different environmental requirements for each peripheral that
can be used in your computer system. When you add peripherals, refer to
the peripheral's associated data sheet to determine its environmental
specifications.
Flammable Materials
Fundamental safeguards for computer systems should include a site well
away from any sources of potential damage. The system should not be
installed or operated in an environment where there is a risk of fire or
explosion due to the existence of highly flammable gases, volatile liquids,
