Verify environmental requirements
The environmental and electrical requirements for the physical site must be met to
ensure that your system works reliably.
Before installing a system, you must verify that adequate space in a suitable rack is
available. You must also ensure that the requirements for power and
environmental conditions are met.
This guide assumes that you have completed the physical planning for the
environment of your system. If you have not done the environmental planning for
your system, see the “Storwize V7000 physical installation planning” topic in the
IBM Knowledge Center for Storwize V7000 .
Review enclosure location guidelines
Before you install the enclosures, you must be familiar with these enclosure
location guidelines.
Installing a control enclosure only
If you are installing a control enclosure only, follow these guidelines.
v Position the enclosure in the rack so that you can easily view it and access it for
servicing.
v Locate the enclosure low enough for the rack to remain stable.
v Ensure that you provide a way for two or more people to install and remove the
enclosure.
