CAUTION Site Preparation Guidelines Preparing for Installation basis and for periodic servicing of the equipment. A three-foot clearance in front, in back, and on each side of the computer system usually satisfies this requirement. In addition, the system should be easily moved into an accessible location for servicing, as required. Select a location that can accommodate the addition of more equipment as your requirements increase. Be sure to consider interconnecting cable and power cord lengths when planning your layout. Identify the location of all power outlets on your floor plan. Plan to keep cables away from traffic paths to prevent accidents and equipment failures. Hewlett-Packard strongly discourages the use of power extension cords with computer system components. Hewlett-Packard strongly discourages the use of carpeting, including socalled anti-static varieties, within 20 feet (6.0 meters) of the computer system. If this advice is not followed, you should place static discharge mats where computer operators and/or service personnel must walk across them before touching any part of the computer system. Failure to comply with this precaution can result in equipment damage through static discharge. Computer Room Construction If you are planning to construct a new computer room or modify an existing site, first consult with your Hewlett-Packard representatives and local contractors. Remember to plan the site with future expansion in mind, so that equipment can be added without disrupting the computer system's operation. The computer room's floor must be able to support the total weight of your computer system as well as the localized weight at each caster or foot of the equipment cabinets. The most common method of preparing an adequate floor for a computer room is to construct a raised floor over the building floor. This method spreads weight more evenly, provides an area through which interconnecting cables can be run conveniently and unobtrusively, and allows optimum distribution of conditioned air. To estimate floor strength requirements, you should consider the following: • Total weight of your computer. (The minimum and maximum 16 Chapter 2

Computer Room Construction
If you are planning to construct a new computer room or modify an
existing site, first consult with your Hewlett-Packard representatives
and local contractors. Remember to plan the site with future expansion
in mind, so that equipment can be added without disrupting the
computer system’s operation.
The computer room’s floor must be able to support the total weight of
your computer system as well as the localized weight at each caster or
foot of the equipment cabinets. The most common method of preparing
an adequate floor for a computer room is to construct a raised floor over
the building floor. This method spreads weight more evenly, provides an
area through which interconnecting cables can be run conveniently and
unobtrusively, and allows optimum distribution of conditioned air.
