Step 2: Prepare your site To ensure continuous, safe, and reliable operation of your equipment, place your system in an approved environment. You must provide adequate physical space, ventilation, and power. NOTE: Consider using the HP Enterprise Configurator (eCO) to help you plan and configure racks and rack-mountable devices. The eCO is available on the HP website: http://h30099.www3.hp.com/configurator. In addition to the following discussion, see Table 5, "MSA1500 specifications" on page 29 for a detailed list of site requirements. Provide adequate structural support for the floor Calculate the total weight of your equipment and verify that your site can support the weight. Provide adequate clearance space and ventilation Be sure to provide adequate clearance around the front and back of the racks. Provide at least 25 inches (63.5 cm) in the front of the rack to allow the doors to open fully and provide at least 30 inches (76.2 cm) in the rear of the rack to allow for servicing and airflow. If there are unused spaces in your rack, attach blanking panels across those empty spaces, to force the airflow through the components instead of through the open spaces. Provide adequate and redundant sources of power Make sure that you have two high-line power feeds installed near your computer. These two power sources usually come from the same external power grid, but occasionally may originate from different grids or even different sources. Obtain and include two UPSs in your installation for protection against a power-source failure. 28 Installation procedures-All deployments
