Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform F350 Site Preparation Guide

If the storage system arrives in hot or cold weather, do not unpack it until it has been
allo
wed to reach room temperature (one to two hours).
Immediately exposing the storage system to warm temperature can cause condensation
to occur, which could damage the electronics.
If you notice any condensation, allow the storage system to stand unattended for one to
two hours, and then unpack it.
Electrostatic discharge
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can harm the electronic components of your storage
system.
ESD is created when the electrical eld surrounding dierent objects varies and becomes
balanced. The spark that is created when contact balances the elds can damage your
storage system.
To minimize possible ESD-induced failures in your computer room:
■
Verify that all equipment and ooring are grounded. Any charge that might build up
would be discharged safely through that common ground.
■
Maintain recommended humidity level and airow rates. Relative humidity above 40%
reduces the resistance of items that can generate a charge, making it more dicult to
generate an ESD.
■
Store spare electric parts in antistatic bags until you are ready to install them. These
bags are designed to prevent a charge from building.
■
When handling the storage system, wear protective devices like wrist straps, sole
grounders, and conductive shoes. These items help to prevent electrostatic charge
from building.
■
Before working inside your storage system, ground yourself to the storage system
enclosure by contact to verify that your personal static charge has been discharged.
Space requirements
Be sure your site has sucient space to accommodate the storage system.
When preparing the space required for your storage system, be sure the site:
■
Is large enough to hold the new storage system and other equipment.
■
Provides minimum clearance around the storage system for service access and to
verify proper weight distribution on the computer room oor.
■
Includes correctly positioned oor cutouts for the storage system's power and data
cables.
