Enclosure Installation • Two people are required to lift the enclosure during any servicing purposes. Service Limitations (Also applicable to third party rack installations) HP will not perform the following tasks: • Assemble the rack from components • Configure the rack hardware • Position the rack • Perform any extensive racking, re-racking, or cabling activities, including cabling activities involving conduits, raceways, patch panels, and movement or configuration of computer room floor panels. • Complete a full site inspection, such as a comprehensive analysis of power, cooling and humidity, airborne contaminants, vibration, and sufficient structural capability of the raised floor in the data center to accommodate the weight of the array to be installed. Dimensional Requirements Refer to "Physical Specifications" (page 10) for physical specifications of the enclosures. If you are installing any HP equipment in a four-post rack, the rack must comply with the minimum and maximum specifications. A clear path between the front and rear vertical (RETMA) rails must be established. There must not be any obstructions to the area when installing the rails and enclosures. Rack Space Considerations HP highly recommends installing enclosures in contiguous rack space because it ensures the copper SAS reaches the connecting ports, and provides consistency for servicing and installation. When additional drive enclosure are added in the future, it is recommended to place them with the initial enclosure, but it is not required. Your site configuration should also specify an area of contiguous space within the rack for installing HP equipment, such as the top, bottom or middle part of the rack. HP recommends considering an area closest to the location of the sourced host cables when you are determining an installation area. Build the rack from bottom to top. Maintaining Minimum Clearances Proper clearances should be maintained for all mounted installations to allow for proper ventilation, cabling and access for maintenance. Table 17 Minimum Clearances Service Front: 36 inch (91.4 cm) Rear: 30 inch (76.2 cm) x 19 inch (50.8 cm) unobstructed clearance directly behind the enclosure.

Dimensional Requirements
Refer to

for physical specifications of the enclosures.
If you are installing any HP equipment in a four-post rack, the rack must comply with the minimum
and maximum specifications. A clear path between the front and rear vertical (RETMA) rails must
be established. There must not be any obstructions to the area when installing the rails and
enclosures.
