HP StorageWorks Modular Smart Array 50 Storage Enclosure User Guide – Coupling multiple racks • The Rack Products Documentation CD enables you to view, search, and print documentation for HP and Compaq branded racks and rack options. It also helps you set up and optimize a rack in a manner that best fits your environment. If you intend to deploy and configure multiple servers in a single rack, refer to the white paper on high-density deployment on the HP website (http://www.hp.
Setup 17 CAUTION: Always use blanking panels to fill empty vertical spaces in the rack. This arrangement ensures proper airflow. Using a rack without blanking panels results in improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage. The 9000 and 10000 Series racks provide proper server cooling from flowthrough perforations in the front and rear doors that provide 64 percent open area for ventilation.
HP StorageWorks Modular Smart Array 50 Storage Enclosure User Guide Power requirements Installation of this equipment must comply with local and regional electrical regulations governing the installation of IT equipment by licensed electricians. This equipment is designed to operate in installations covered by NFPA 70, 1999 Edition (National Electric Code) and NFPA-75, 1992 (code for Protection of Electronic Computer/Data Processing Equipment).
Setup 19 Electrical grounding requirements The storage enclosure must be grounded properly for proper operation and safety. In the United States, you must install the equipment in accordance with NFPA 70, 1999 Edition (National Electric Code), Article 250, as well as any local and regional building codes. In Canada, you must install the equipment in accordance with Canadian Standards Association, CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code.
HP StorageWorks Modular Smart Array 50 Storage Enclosure User Guide • At least two people are needed to safely unload the rack from the pallet. An empty 42U rack can weigh as much as 115 kg (253 lb), can stand more than 2.1 m (7 ft) tall, and may become unstable when being moved on its casters. • Never stand in front of the rack when it is rolling down the ramp from the pallet. Always handle the rack from both sides.
Setup 21 Use the following information when connecting peripheral cables and power cords to the storage enclosure. Item Description 1 SAS In connector 2 SAS Out connector 3 Power supply 1 4 Power supply 2 Installing hardware options Install any hardware options before initializing the storage enclosure.
