Restricted access

HP does not recommend tipping loaded racks to navigate stairs or height restricted doorways. If you

have restricted access contact your HP service representative. Your HP service representative will

contact the HP Storage Technology Center.

The goal of a computer room is to maintain an ideal environment for computer equipment, including

this system.

Make sure your computer room adheres to all national and local building codes for a data

center/computer room environment.

HP recommends these guidelines:

•

Locate the computer room away from exterior walls of the building to avoid the heat gain from

windows and exterior wall surfaces.

•

When exterior windows are unavoidable, use windows that are double or tripled glazed and

shaded to prevent direct sunlight from entering the computer room.

•

Maintain the computer room at a positive pressure relative to the surrounding spaces to reduce

introduction of contaminants.

•

Install a vapor barrier around the entire computer room envelope (floors/walls/ceiling) to help

keep moisture out of the room. This is especially important if your computer room is located under-

ground.

•

Caulk and vapor-seal all pipes and cables that penetrate the computer room envelope.
