Specifications
Preparing for Installation
Follow these precautions to minimize possible ESD-induced failures in
your computer room:
• Install conductive flooring (conductive adhesive must be used when
laying tiles).
• Use conductive wax if waxed floors are installed.
• Ensure that all equipment and flooring are properly grounded and ar at
the same ground potential.
• Use conductive tables and chairs.
• Store spare electric parts in antistatic containers.
• Maintain recommended humidity level an airflow rates.
Low humidity levels are often the result of the facility heating system and
occur during the cold season. Most heating systems provide air with a low
humidity level, unless the system has a built-in humidifier.
For troublefree operation, disk drives require a dust-free environment, The
HP SureStore E Disk Array XP512 disk drive is protected from dust
particles by mechanical air filters designed to trap large dust particles.
Smaller particles can pass through some filters, and, over a period of time,
can cause problems in mechanical parts. Small dust particles can be
prevented from entering the computer room by maintaining its air
conditioning system at a high static air pressure level.
When the disk array is operating, the recommended temperature range is
21 C to 24 C and recommended relative humidity range to be (at 22 C)
between 50 to 55 percent. The following table lists the temperature,
humidity, and vibration specifications for the HP SureStore E Disk Array
XP512. The vibration and shock specifications apply to all three axes.
