Determine Service Access Needs
Hewlett-Packard CEs must have clear and unobstructed access to
perform service on the equipment. The rp7400 system also needs a
sufficient aisle space for air flow and cooling.
• Aisle space for cooling — a minimum of 0.91 meter (3 ft.) aisle space is
recommended in the front and back of the rp7400 SPU cabinet.
• Service area — The HP recommended service area for the front and
rear of the rp7400 SPU should not take precedence over local codes
and regulations. However, HP does require a minimum of 0.91 meter
(3 ft.) of clearance on the front or back along with 1.22 meter (4 ft.) on
the opposite side (front preferred) to allow for future, add-on
installations. HP suggests consulting your local authority having
jurisdiction familiar with the current regulations for compliance in
your area.
Determine Security Access
Most computer rooms are secure access environments. The
Hewlett-Packard CE should consult with the customer to arrange for
computer room access in the event of an after-hours service call.
