    1 Site preparation team and tasks The objective of a site preparation is to prepare your site for the successful and timely installation of this HP product. Proper site preparation is vital for the reliability of the disk array. Site preparation involves a careful balance of equipment design criteria, site environmental variables, your business needs, and your budget constraints.

  • Page 12: Site Preparation Checklist

    Carefully review chapter 2 to understand the site requirements for the disk array. If you plan to connect additional external storage, be sure to take the requirements of that storage into account. See the documentation for the external system. Use the information, instructions, and tools in chapter 2 to determine site requirements for the specific disk array components you ordered.

  • Page 23: General Computer Room Requirements

    CAUTION: Make sure all floors, stairs, and elevators you use when moving the disk array to the computer room can support the weight and size of the equipment. Failure to do so could damage the equipment or your site. General computer room requirements The goal of a computer room is to maintain an ideal environment for computer equipment, including this system.

  • Page 24: Safety Requirements

    Safety requirements When making decisions concerning site safety, your first concern should be the safety of your personnel and then the safety of your equipment. Fundamental safeguards for disk arrays should include a site well away from any sources of potential damage.

  • Page 25: The Space Planning Process

    The space planning process Document your computer room's existing floor plan, including locations of these items: Immovable objects, such as structural support columns Walls All equipment, furniture, cabinets, racks, data communication equipment, and systems Floor cutouts Electrical outlets Connecting cables and power cords, including lengths Floor vents Develop a new floor plan that includes the locations of all of the above items plus the disk array and any new items added to support it.

  • Page 26: Estimating Required Floor Load Rating

    • Use a raised floor system (254 to 305 mm, 10 to 12 inches) for the most favorable room air distribution system. • Grid panels must be at least 450 x 450 mm (17.72 x 17.72 in). • The floor must have a load rating between 300 and 500 kg per square meter (553 to 921.7 lb per square yard, or 61.4 to 102.4 lb per square foot).

  • Page 27: Primary Rack Dimensions And Cable Cutout Location

    Primary rack dimensions and cable cutout location Figure 2 shows dimensions, clearances, and the cable cutout location for the primary rack. The cutout may be off-center as long as it is within the area shown and corresponds to the opening in the bottom of the rack to allow cables to pass through.

  • Page 28: Calculating Clearances

    Figure 3 Primary and secondary rack dimensions and cutouts Calculating clearances The total floor space required for the XP10000 disk array includes: • The actual space required by the equipment. • Service clearance — the floor space required to access the disk array. Never use this space for storage.

    Mechanical filters on the disk array protect it by trapping large dust particles. Smaller particles can pass through some filters, and can eventually cause problems in mechanical parts. Prevent small dust particles from entering the computer room by maintaining its air conditioning system at a high static air pressure level.

  • Page 38: Safety And Dedicated Ground

    Safety and dedicated ground The primary reason for grounding electrical systems is safety. The safety ground is required by the National Electric Code (USA) and most other local, regional, and national codes. In addition to safety ground, HP requires that a dedicated (earth reference) ground be installed as a common reference point for all system components.

  • Page 39: Power Line Transients

    Power line transients Heavy electrical loads from nearby machinery or equipment (for example, elevators or electric welders) can cause intermittent system problems with sophisticated electronic equipment, even if that equipment is on a separate circuit breaker. When faced with these conditions, provide a separate, completely independent power panel with an isolated ground and circuit breaker coming directly from the main building power source or secondary power source.

  • Page 41: Electrical Specifications For The Xp10000 Disk Array

    3 Electrical specifications for the XP10000 disk array The detailed electrical specifications in this chapter are provided to help your site electrician perform any necessary electrical work related to site preparation. AC line voltage requirements The AC power requirements are essentially the same for both the primary and the second racks. Each rack operates on 200 VAC nominal, 20 amps, 50 or 60 Hz, single-phase power.

  • Page 42: Power Connections For The Primary Rack

    Figure 5 Power connections for the primary rack CAUTION: The four PDU outlets (not all shown) are for internal power connections to the disk array only.

  • Page 44: European Branch Circuit Requirements

    European branch circuit requirements To protect the disk array, your building must be wired correctly. Each supply (“hot”) conductor must be protected by a short-circuit protective device and by an overcurrent protective device. Table 15 on page 41 specifies the overcurrent protective devices required for single-phase operation. All protective devices must comply with national standards of the country where the units are to be installed.

  • Page 45: Delivery And Unpacking

    4 Delivery and unpacking The disk array equipment is shipped directly from HP. If the disk array is part of a system order, HP coordinates shipment from all HP locations so that all of the equipment arrives at your site at approximately the same time.
