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.
In addition to this guide, other site preparation resources may be available to you. The HP service
organization is committed to making sure you receive maximum benefit from your disk array. HP
representatives will guide and assist you through site preparation.
