NOTE Site Preparation Guidelines Preparing for Installation Preparing for Installation The following subsections contain information to help you properly plan for the arrival and installation of your computer system. If you purchased any upgrades (processor, I/O cards, etc.), install the new component before proceeding. For more information on the upgrade process, refer to the documentation included in the upgrade kit. Computer Site Safety Considerations The two major safety considerations for any computer site are fire safety and emergency electrical power shut-off. When considering safety precautions, emphasis should be placed on all matters concerning personnel and equipment. The Hewlett-Packard CE, your insurance carrier, and local building inspectors can advise you. Fire Safety When considering fire safety, the customer's insurance carrier should be consulted for suggestions and recommendations as to the adequacy of existing or proposed fire control systems. If a new site is to be built or an existing structure modified, consult local building codes for fire prevention and protection guidelines. Also consult with the Hewlett-Packard CE and local fire inspector for additional information. Emergency Electrical Power Shut-Off The computer system power panel should include a shunt-trip wired to an emergency shut-off switch and a thermostat device. This is for deactivating all equipment power in case of an emergency or in case room temperature exceeds safe operating conditions. Floor Plan Hewlett-Packard recommends that a floor plan be prepared showing the overall location and arrangement of your computer system components. Enough space should be provided for people to work efficiently on a daily Chapter 2 15
