18 HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP128: Site Preparation Guide
Safety requirements
The following sections contain information to help you properly prepare
your facility for the arrival of your disk array.
Site safety consideration
When making decisions concerning site safety, your first concern should be
the safety of your personnel and then the safety of your equipment. Two
major safety considerations for any computer site are fire safety and
emergency power-off. If you have any questions about site safety, consult
your HP CE, your insurance carrier, and local building inspectors for safety
recommendations.
Fire safety
When considering fire safety, consult your insurance carrier and fire
department for suggestions and recommendations. They can analyze your
existing fire control systems, and advise you of any changes that may be
needed. If you are building a new site, or modifying an old site, consult
your local building codes for fire prevention and protection guidelines. You
can also consult with your local HP CE and local fire inspectors for
additional information.
Equipment servicing hazards
You, your HP CEs, and HP ASEs require safe access to the disk array.
Along with the specifications listed in “General computer room
requirements” (page 19), ensure that electrical or data communication
cables do not create a safety hazard.
Electrical hazards
The disk array cabinet contains dangerous voltages. To prevent injury or
death from electric shock, refer all electrical installation and service to
qualified personnel.
