Task 1: Prepare A Site Plan - HP Surestore 64 - Director Switch Planning Manual

Task 1: Prepare a Site Plan

For each director or equipment rack installed, design a site plan that provides efficient
work flow, operator convenience and safety, and adequate service clearances for the
equipment rack. A customer manager should review the site plan with a service
representative and consider:
• Location and relationship of the physical facilities such as walls, doors, windows,
partitions, furniture, and telephones.
• Proximity of the director to servers and storage peripherals, and if a multiswitch fabric
is to be enabled, proximity of participating directors to each other.
• Location of at least one analog phone line (capable of providing long-distance service)
for the Enterprise Fabric Connectivity (HP EFC) Server to support the call-home
feature or provide remote dial-in support. In addition consider accessibility to a second
phone to aid in installation and serviceability.
• Availability of Ethernet local area network (LAN) connections and cabling to support
remote user workstation and simple network management protocol (SNMP)
management station access. Remote user and SNMP workstations are optional.
• Lengths of power cables and location of electrical outlets (for the director and HP EFC
Server) having the proper phase, voltage, amperage, and ground connection.
WARNING An insulated grounding conductor identical in size, insulating
material, and thickness to the grounded and ungrounded branch-
circuit supply conductors (except it is green with or without one or
more yellow stripes) shall be installed as part of the branch circuit
supplying the director. The grounding conductor described shall be
connected to ground at the director, or if supplied by a separately
derived system, at the supply transformer or motor generator. The
plug receptacles near the director shall all be a grounding type, and
grounding conductors serving these receptacles shall be connected
to ground at the director.
