Preparing the site
Preparing your site includes:
Providing adequate structural support
Calculate the total weight of your equipment and verify that your site can support the weight.
For HP ProLiant server environments, consider using Rack Builder, a software tool that provides a
simplified method to planning and configuring racks and rack-mountable products. Rack Builder
is available on the Options tab of the ProLiant Home page of the HP servers website: http://
www.hp.com/country/us/eng/prodserv/servers.html.
Providing adequate clearance space and ventilation
Be sure to provide adequate clearance around the front and back of the racks. Provide at least
63.5 cm (25 in) in the front of the rack to allow the doors to open fully and provide at least 76.2
cm (30 in) in the rear of the rack to allow for servicing and airflow.
If there are unused spaces in your rack, attach blanking panels across those empty spaces to force
the airflow through the components instead of through the open spaces.
Providing adequate and redundant sources of power
Make sure that you have two high-line power feeds installed near your computer. These two power
sources usually come from the same external power grid, but occasionally might originate from
different grids or even entirely different sources.
For protection against a power-source failure, obtain and include two uninterruptible power supplies
in your installation.
For power consumption specifications, see the QuickSpecs for your disk enclosure model.
To ensure continuous, safe, and reliable operation of your equipment, place your system in an approved
environment.
Consider using the HP Enterprise Configurator (eCO) to help plan and configure racks and
rack-mountable devices. The eCO is available on the HP website: http://h30099.www3.hp.com/
configurator.
