Installing the Disk Array FC60 Installation of the Disk Array FC60 consists of installing the controller enclosure and up to six disk enclosures. Before performing this installation you should have determined the configuration for the array (as described in chapter 2, Array Planning and Topology). You should also review this section prior to performing the installation. The Disk Array FC60 is supported in the System/E racks and in the HP legacy (original) cabinets. The Disk Array FC60 is also supported in Rittal 9000 racks. Note The HP SureStore E Disk Array FC60 has been tested for proper operation in supported Hewlett-Packard cabinets. If the disk array is installed in an untested rack configuration, care must be taken to ensure that all necessary environmental requirements are met. This includes power, airflow, temperature, and humidity. Failure to meet the required operating specifications may result in product failure. 122 Installing the Disk Array FC60
