6 Third-Party/Existing Rack Mounting Some installations may use third-party or existing racks to house the HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 Storage components. Install system components only into a standard 19-inch rack. The rack must also be equipped with the appropriate PDUs or power receptacles and have access to an adequate power source that provides the recommended level of redundancy. For site administers who choose to mount storage system components, the following kits are available: • 7200 Node Enclosure • 7400 Node Enclosure • Drive Enclosure • Service Processor NOTE: For physical dimensions and power/heat specifications for storage system components, see "Power and Heat Specifications" (page 12). For general information on placement and recommended conditions, see "Structural/Environmental Considerations" (page 18). Service Installation Prerequisites Location of Rack • Place the rack in its final location. • Make sure the operational power, with the correct connectors, exists in the proposed location of the rack. The system will operate in 100-240VAC 50/60Hz and requires 200-240 VAC PDUs or power strips. Each drive enclosure requires two C13/C14 connections. The SP requires one C13/C14 connection. • 36 inch (91.4 cm) of service clearance is required directly in front of the rack. This is required due to the depth of the enclosure and potential to damage to other equipment that is in front of the rack/enclosure. • 30 inch (76.2 cm) of service clearance is required on both sides of the front of the rack. This is required because two people must lift the enclosure and set into the rack. The allocated space is necessary on each side for the person to stand and maneuver the enclosure. • 30 inch (76.2 cm) of unobstructed clearance is required directly behind the enclosure to service the nodes (for example, do not attach PDUs, power-strips, power cord routing, and other things to the back of the rack). There must be unobstructed clearance directly behind the node enclosure in order to remove or install a controller node. Rack Requirements • The rack is operational and has enough space for the installation. HP installation and upgrade services does not include building a new rack, re-racking, or moving existing components. The required contiguous rack space is defined by the quantity of 7000 Storage and drive enclosures in the system. There must be 2U of rack space for each HP 3PAR 7000 Storage enclosure and 2U SAS drive enclosure, 4U of rack space for the 4U SAS drive enclosure, and 1U for a service processor. HP also recommends having an open rack space above and below the installed storage system components for drive enclosure upgrades. • Only use a 4-post rack for an installation. Using any other types of racks is prohibited . The vertical RETMA rails must have square holes. • Customer cabling (power, FC, SAS, and Ethernet) must be routed in an organized path so it does not restrict the removal of controller nodes or obstruct the servicing area. 30 Third-Party/Existing Rack Mounting
