Step 2: Preparing your Site
To ensure continuous, safe, and reliable operation of your equipment, place your
system in a well-ventilated, climate-controlled environment. Ensure that you have
adequate physical space, ventilation, and power.
For physical space and ventilation, be sure to provide adequate clearance around
the front and back of the racks. Provide at least 25 inches in the front of the rack to
allow the doors to open fully and provide at least 30 inches 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.
For power sources, 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 may originate from different grids or even
different sources entirely. The typical practice is to split power coming from the
source and provide two feeds into the computer room. On occasion, you may have
access to two separate sources (two different sub-stations, for example) and have
feeds coming in from each. Providing separate feeds into a computer room allows
for redundancy, but can be expensive to implement.
For added protection against a power-source failure, obtain and include in your
installation two Uninterruptable Power Supplies.
Select a location that meets the environmental standards described in
Table 2 “MSA1000 Environmental Specifications” on page 25.
