Physical installation planning
Before you set up your system environment, you must verify that the prerequisite conditions for the
system are met.
This information applies to the supported hardware components. Answer the following questions before
you start the installation process:
• Does your physical site meet the environment requirements for your system?
The system requires the physical site to meet the environment requirements. For more information, see
“Environmental requirements” on page 24.
• Do you have adequate rack space for your hardware?
The system requires two Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) units for each IBM Storage Scale System
6000. For more information, see “Dimensions and weight requirements for rack installation” on page
25.
• Do the power circuits that you are planning to use have sufcient capacity and the correct sockets for
your installation?
– A clearly visible and accessible emergency power off switch is required.
– For redundancy, at least two independent power circuits are required.
The appropriate power requirements for each power supply unit must be provided. For more
information, see “Power requirements for each power supply (four per enclosure)” on page 23.
• Have you provided appropriate connectivity by preparing your environment?
Consult the following sections to learn about IP addresses requirements and restrictions, also about
supported hosts and user interfaces.
