Site requirements 31
• Furniture such as desks, chairs, and storage cabinets
• Computer room personnel
• Moving equipment such as forklifts, dollies, and similar items
The lower the floor load rating, the more clearance is required around the
array to distribute the equipment weight correctly. If your computer room is
too small to allow for minimum required clearance around the array, you
may need to increase the floor load rating. For more on required clearance,
see “Floor clearance and cutout dimensions” (page 32).
Floor covering
HP recommends the use of a tiled raised floor.
Caution HP strongly discourages the use of carpeting, including antistatic varieties,
within 6.0 m (20 ft.) of the disk array. Over time, carpeting may shed dust
that can cause problems with the disk array.
Caution If your computer room has carpeting, place static discharge mats so that
personnel must walk across them before touching any part of the array.
Failure to comply with this precaution can result in equipment damage
through static discharge.
