Installing and Configuring the SAN Director 2/128 Installation and Safety Considerations WARNING: For safety reasons, when installing this product in an equipment rack, you must consider rack stability against tipping. Please refer to the user manual provided with the equipment rack to determine rack stability (available through the HP Web site at: http://www.hp.com/racksolutions/prodinfo/racks/index.html). If the necessary stability is not achieved through the placement of additional equipment or ballast, the equipment rack must be anchored to the building structure before operation. WARNING: A fully populated HP StorageWorks SAN Director 2/128 weighs approximately 250 pounds (113 kg) and requires a minimum of two people and a mechanical lift to install it. Before installing, verify that the additional weight of the chassis does not exceed the cabinet's weight limits or unbalance the cabinet, including when some of the cards or power supplies are partially extended out of the chassis. Caution: To ensure adequate cooling, install the chassis with the port side facing the aisle into which exhaust air is released (usually called the service aisle). This prevents the fans from pulling in heated exhaust air. You must complete the following steps to ensure correct installation and operation: ■ Provide a space that is 14U high, 29 inches deep, and 19 inches wide (1U = 1.75 inches). Also provide an additional 1U for cable management. ■ If installing in a cabinet: - Ensure the space in the 19 inch (48.3 cm) EIA cabinet is 14U high, with a minimum distance of 28.25 inches (71.76 cm) between the front and back rails, and a maximum distance of 29.88 inches (75.90 cm). - Verify that the additional weight of the chassis does not exceed the cabinet's weight limits. - Ensure that all equipment installed in the cabinet is grounded through a reliable branch circuit connection. Do not rely on a secondary connection to a branch circuit, such as a power strip. 32 SAN Director 2/128 Installation Guide
