Site Considerations

The HP 3000 9X8LX/RX family of computers are office environment computer systems that

do not require special environmental controls. For this reason, no specific site preparation is

required before the system is installed. Even though the computer does not require any site

preparation, there are some site considerations and responsibilities that need to be addressed.

This chapter provides the environmental and electrical specifications for the HP 3000

9X8LX/RX systems. These specifications are provided to ensure the installation site is within

the limits for the system. This chapter also lists the HP organizations and services available

for site preparation for the HP 3000 9X8LX/RX family computers. It also lists and describes

the responsibilities of the customer.

Site Preparation Considerations

The HP 3000 Series 9X8LX/RX computers are primarily designed to be used in commercial

office environments. Except for verifying the environment and AC power, very little site

preparation is required. When the computer is configured into a larger system employing

numerous peripherals and mass storage devices, you should study and become more familiar

with the contents of this chapter.

The CE or Site Preparation Specialist provides peripheral equipment power and

environmental specifications contained in the

3000 and HP 9000 CE Handbook.

It is the customers responsibility to ensure that the facility conditions are maintained in

accordance with the information and specifications contained in this chapter.

This allows Hewlett-Packard to provide support services in accordance with the

Support Services Agreement.

Physical Considerations

Since the HP 3000 9X8LX/RX is a small physical package (refer to physical specs Table 2-5 it
can be located next to a desk or placed in a dedicated computer room. Allow room for cables
and access to the front and rear of the computer cabinet.

Be sure to allow for the peripheral equipment that comes with a computer system, such as
peripheral cabinets, PowerTrust UPS, terminals, printers and other supporting equipment.
Also allow for computer materials storage.

Electrical Considerations

Be sure the final installation site has enough AC outlets to support the computer and the
peripherals located close to
breaker. Be very sure the AC power available meets the electrical specifications. Refer to

Table 2-2 for the exact electrical specifications.
