HP 3PAR StoreServ 10000 Storage Physical Planning Manual

Node Chassis Installation Notes
The shelf-rails it is mounted on should be no more than 30 inches from the floor. It becomes difficult to lift it
above that height.
To service the power supplies (located at the bottom and tucked under the nodes), there must be at least 1U
(1.75 inches) of clearance below the chassis.
For example, you could not have a DC4 Drive Chassis (MBOD) installed directly below it because you would
not be able to service the node power supplies. Nor should you have something directly under it that has
cables protruding into the service area (cables could get damaged).
Service Limitations (as applicable to third party rack installations) i.e. HP will NOT be:
• Assembling the rack from components
• Configuring the rack hardware
• Positioning the rack
• Carrying out any extensive racking, re-racking, or cabling activities, including cabling activities involving conduits,
raceways, patch panels, and movement/configuration of computer room floor panels.
• Carrying out a full site inspection, such as a comprehensive analysis of Customer’s power, cooling and humidity,
airborne contaminants, vibration, and sufficient structural capability of the data center's raised floor to accommodate
the weight of the array to be installed.
