Chapter 2 - Site Preparation Guidelines
Site Preparation Guidelines

This chapter provides speci fi c site pre p ar ation guidelines for the HP 3000 and HP 9000 Enterprise
Servers. The H ew l et t-Pac k ard CE w ill assi s t you in advance as the Site Planning Summary is
completed.

Site Planning Time Table

The guidelines below are a summary of the Pre-Installation Worksheet in Appendix A of this manual.
The wor ksheet should be used to monitor the progress of pre-installation preparation. Since the time
from placing an order to actual delivery can vary, it is suggested that you confer with your Hewlett
Packard CE an d sal es representativ e, your el ectri cian , and o ther s to deter mi ne the best estimated
delive ry date s fo r th e pre p a rati on o f you r site .

The following are four items that may require several weeks lead time:

• Arranging for an electrician

• Adding air conditioning

• Building alterations

• Placing orders for data communications equipment

Due to potential delays, Hewlett-Packard recommends that the suppliers of the above services be
contacted as soo n as possi ble afte r your co m pute r sys tem h as bee n order ed .

There are three items that may require up to six weeks lea d time:

• Assigning your Principal Operator and scheduling a site planning visit with the
Hewlett-Packard CE to answer your questions about site pre p a ration.

NOTE

To schedule a site planning visit, three days advance notice is required.

• Selecting an appropriate system location and planning the physical arrangement of the system,
including any related furniture.

• Ordering any consu mable supplies, inclu din g an y appropri ate s tor ag e me diu m s (i.e ., flexible
discs, tape ca rtridg e s, magn eti c ta pe s, etc .) .

2-1

Preparing For Installation

The following paragraphs contain information to help you properly plan for the arrival and installation
of your computer system.

Computer Site Safety Considerations

The two major safety considerations for any computer site are fire safety and emergency power shut
off (electrical). W h en co nsid er ing safety pr eca utio n s, emph asi s sho u ld be exe rcise d o n all matte rs
concerning perso n ne l and equ ipm en t. Th e Hew let t-Packard CE, your insur an ce carri er, and local
building inspectors can adv i se you on these matters .

Fire Safety

When con sid er ing fir e sa fety, the custome rs in su ran ce carrier should be consu l te d for su ggestions 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.
Also, consult with the Hewlett-Packard CE and local fire inspector for additional information.

Emergency 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. Refer to Section 3 of the Computer Products
Site Preparation Resource Guide for additional information.

2-2

Floor Plan

Hewlett-Packard rec o mm en ds th at a floor plan be pr epared showing the overa ll loca tion and
arrange m en t of you r co m puter sys tem co m ponents. Enough space should be provided for people to
work efficiently on a daily basis and for periodic servicing of the equipment. A three-foot clearance in
front and in back o f each maj o r com pute r sys tem co m pon e nt u sua lly sati sfi es thi s requ irem en t.

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 pow er outl ets on your flo o r plan. Plan to keep cabl es aw ay fro m traffic paths to
prevent accidents and equi pment fail ures. Hew lett-Pa ckard s trongly discourages the use of power
extension cords with computer system components.

CAUTION

Hewlett-Packard strongly discourages the use of carpeting,
including so called anti-static varieties, within 20 feet (6.0 meters)
of the computer sy stem. If this advice is not followed, you should
place static discharge mats where computer operators and/or service
personnel must walk across them bef o re t o u ch i ng an y pa rt of th e
computer system. Failure to comply with this precaution can result
in equipm e nt d ama g e thro u gh sta t ic dis ch arge .

The Space Planning Kit, in Appendix A of this manual, can be used to plan a physical layout. The kit
contains sc aled views of the computer cabine t, typic al He w lett- P ac ka rd co mpu te r syste m pe ri pherals,
typical computer room equipment/furniture, and a scaled grid layout that can be used to develop your
floor plan. Re me mber to plan the layo ut to satisfy both your curr en t and fu tur e system require me n ts.

2-3

Computer Room Construction

If you are planning to construct a new computer room or modify an existing site, first consult with
your Hewlett-P ackard representativ es and loc al contra ctor s. Rem em be r to plan the site w ith futu re
expansion in mind so that equipment can be added without disrupting the computer system’s
operation .

The computer room 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 compute r room i s to construct a raised fl oor over the buildin g floor.
This method spre ads weight more evenly, provides an area through which interconnecting cables can
be run conveniently and unobtrusively, and allows optimum distribution of conditioned air.

To estim ate fl o o r stren g th requirements, yo u sh ou ld co n sid er the following items:

• Total w ei ght o f you r computer (the crated and uncrate d we i ghts o f th e computer are listed in
Appendix B of this manual).

• Total w eig ht o f your co mpu ter system’s peripherals. (The Syste m Con fig u rati on Table in
Section 2 of the Computer Products Site Preparation Guide contains a list of your system’s
peripherals. Your Hewlett-Packard Sales Representative and CE can assist you in determining
peripheral weights.)

• Total w ei ght o f fur niture such as desk s, ch ai rs, ta ble s, cabi nets, etc. (Refer to your floor plan
and estimate furniture weights.)

• Total approximate weight of computer room personnel.

• Weight of moving equipment (i.e., forklifts, transport dollies, etc.).

2-4

Office building floors are usually rated at 50 pounds per square foot (244 kilograms per square meter)
with an additional allowance of 20 pounds per square foot (98 kilograms per square meter) for
partitions. If you are planning for a large computer system, your computer room floor and/or raised
floor must be able to support 100 pounds per square foot (488 kilograms per square meter). Any
questions regarding the adequacy of floor construction should be referred to and evaluated by a
qualifie d stru ctu ral engi neer.

CAUTION

In addition to determining the adequacy of the computer site floor,
ensure that all floors, stairs, and elevators which might be used when
the computer equipment is moved to its destination can support the
weight o f both the comput er equip ment and th e moving eq uipmen t.
Failure to co m pl y can result i n damage t o the computer equipment .

If you are planning t o construct a rais ed floor, first consult with t he Hewlett-Packard CE. The p referred
height for a raised floor above the main floor is 12 inches (30 cent imeters) and the height should not b e
less than 4.5 inches (11 centimeters).

WARNING

If metal is used to construct the raised floor, ensure that there is a
common grou nd con nec tion betw een the raised floor and main
floor to avoid possible build up of different voltage potentials.
Failure to comply can result in serious injury to personnel and/or
damage to equipment.

The most important installation considerations are for power requirements. The basic power
requirements for the HP 3000 and HP 9000 Enterpri se Servers ar e listed in Table 2-2. (Additional
power spe cifi cati o ns are contained in Ap pen dix B of this ma n ual. ) Also , refer to Se ctio n 3 of the
Computer Products Site Preparation Resource Guide. Your Hewlett-Packard Sales Representative and
CE can assist yo u in de te rm in ing peripheral power requirements.

NOTE

Some systems requ ire sing le- pha se powe r. Single-phase po w er may be
obtained by making power connections in one of the following ways:

• L ine-to-neutral: 200-240 Volts (One hot (phase) wire and a neutral).

• Line-to-line: 200-240 Volts. Connect across two phase (hot) wires.

2-6

Line Voltage

The AC line voltage available from a wall outlet is determined by the local electrical power provider
and the building power distribution netw o rk. Voltages outsid e the operating range of the sy stem can
cause system errors, or a system shutdown. If required, the Hewlett-Packard CE along with your
electrician can d ete rm i n e the lin e vo ltag e and make recom mendations. Avoid the use of a line voltage
conditioner.

NOTE

Make sure that there are enough wall outlets at the correct vol tage to
support the entire system including its PowerTrust UPS if so
equipped. See “Powe rTrust UPS Powe r Requ ireme n ts” below.

PowerTrust UPS Power Requirements

Each PowerTrust UPS installed in the compute r system ’s expansion cabine t(s) require s an AC powe r
source that meets the specifications in Table 2-2. Ensure that there are enough AC power sources to
match the number of PowerTrust UPSs in the system.

If PowerTrust UPSs are to be added to an existing system, each expansion cabinet in which a
PowerTrust UPS is installed must be provided with its own 30A power source which meets the
specifications in Table 2-2. This 30A source for the UPS is in addition to the original 20A source for
each expansion cabinet.

CAUTION

It is recommended that you do not place intervening power
conditioning equipment between the PowerTrust UPS and the AC
mains power source. Some power conditioning equipment can
interact with the PowerTrust unit and cause faulty operation.

2-7

Frequency

AC Line frequency is normally determined by your local power provider. In some cases, electrical
power is supplied by a customers motor-generators. Shifts in AC line frequency can cause system
errors or terminal display “jitter”. Your Hewlett-Packard CE can monitor the frequency of the input
AC line power and make recommendations, if required.

Dedicated Circuits

The HP 3000 and HP 9000 Enterprise Serve rs require dedica ted circuits or individual branch circuits
(separate circui t brea kers). Thi s ensu res that the re are no other devi ces trip the ci rcui t bre aker an d
ensures that there is sufficient power to run the system.

The ampere load of ea ch circuit br eaker should b e designed to a llo w a margin for s ystem start-up sur g e
current. Refer to Section 3 of the Computer Products Site Preparation Resource Guide and consult with
the Hewlett-Packard CE, to determine the circuit breaker requirements for your installation.

Safety and Dedicated Grounds

The primary reason for grounding electrical systems is safety. The safety ground is required by the
National Electrical Code (US A) and mo st oth er loc al , regional, and national codes. In addition to the
safety ground, Hewlett-Packard requires that a dedicated (earth reference) ground be installed as a
common reference point for all system components.

Basic principles of safe and effective grounding for any Hewlett-Packard computer system are
illustrated in Section 2 of the Computer Products Site Preparation Resource Guide. Consult with your
Hewlett-Packard CE and electri ci an to ensur e that your system meets all nati onal and loca l codes.

2-8

Receptacles

When receptacles are used to connect system components to AC power, the receptacles must include a
dedicated gr ound co nn ecti on that is insul ated from the receptac le box. It is important that the
receptacle box be gr ound ed w ith an additi ona l ground connection that is non-dedicated.
(The additional ground can be a hard metal conduit.)

When installing recepta cl es, ensu re that eac h receptac l e has its ow n neutra l (if requi red) an d groun d.
Using the same neutral or ground for more than one circuit will cause voltage loss, heat problems, and
can result in a fire h aza rd . A share d neutral conductor that fails open-circuit will result in possible
over-voltage damage to equipment.

Computer equipment power cord and plug requirements also vary from country to country. Unusual
power cords an d plu g s that c an n o t be ord ere d must be fabricated by a qua lifi ed el ectri cian to meet
local safety codes and requirements.

Power Line Transients and Noise

Heavy electri ca l loa ds fro m ne arby machiner y or equ ipm ent (i.e. , ele vato rs or el ectri c w eld ers ) can
cause power transients and noise which may cause system errors. This can occur even if the other
equipment is on a separate circuit breaker. Under these conditions, you should provide a separate
(completely independent) power panel. This should have an isolated ground and separate circuit
breaker and be fed directly from the main building pow er source or a secondary power source.
See the Com puter Product s Site Preparation Reso urce Guide, Section 3, for additional information.

Your Hewlett-Packard CE can monitor your power line for electrical noise and transients. If found,
they can make appropriate recommendations concerning the use of line conditioning devices.

2-9

Sources of Electrical Interference

Convenience W a ll Outlets

Power outlets for building maintenance equipment (i.e., vacuum cleaners, floor buffers, etc.) must be
wired from circuit breakers on a power panel completely separate from th e computer sy stem panel.
The ground connections from these outlets must be connected to a building p ower distribution panel;

not

the computer system ground. Your electrician can v eri fy whe the r mai nte n ance outle ts are on

separate panels and grounds.

NOTE

If a separate power source and ground are not provided, operati on of
jani to rial e q uip ment can ind uce electrical n oi s e and caus e a b no r mal
operation of the computer system.

Lightning

In some geographical areas, it may by advisable to install lightning protection for safety of pe rsonnel
and to prote c t co m puter sys tems . In th e Un ite d States (USA ), the installa tion of lightning or surge
arrestors o n pow er and co mm un ic atio n lin es is de sc ribe d in the Nati o nal Electri ca l Cod e, Articl e 280.

The principles of lightning pro te cti on and pe rson n e l safe ty are ou tlined in detai l in the lightning
protecti on co de co n ta ine d in the N atio n al Fi re Pr ote c tio n A sso ciation (NFPA) Handbook . The
Hewlett-Packard CE can make lightning protection equipment recommendations.

Vibration

Continuous vibration can cause a degradation of mechanical parts. Vibration can cause data losses on
disc drives. Me chan ical connection s on printe d circu it asse mbl i es, connectors, cables, and backplane
wiring can al so be ad v erse l y affecte d by vibration.

If you suspect t hat vibration ma y be a pr obl em at your computer site, contact your Hewlett-Packard CE
or local sales office for assistance.

2-10

Electromagnetic Interference

The HP 3000 and HP 9000 Enterprise Servers are specifically designed to reduce their susceptibilit y to
radiated and conducted interference. Electromagnetic interference can cause a variety of computer
system problems. The Hewlett-Packard CE can advise you about many of the most common causes of
electromag netic interferenc e.

Environmental Considerations

NOTE

There are different environmental requirements for each peripheral
that can be used in your computer sy stem. When you add
peripherals, refer to the periph e ral’s associated data sheet s to
determine its environmental specifications.

Flammable Material s

Fundamental safeguards for computer systems should include a site well away from any sources of
potential damage. The system should not be installed or operated in an environment where there is a
risk of fire or explosion due to the existence of highly flammable gases, volatile liquids, or
comb us t ible dust .

Airborne Contaminants

Airborne contaminants and particles of a certain size and hardness can damage your computer system,
particularly disc drives. Co rrosiv e gase s and /or solve n t vapo rs such as those from l iqui d spirit
duplicating equipment and wet-process photo copiers can also cause damage. Some of the most
common conta mi nan ts are dust, smok e, ash, era ser debri s, food crumbs, and salty air.

The Hewlett-Packard CE can assist you in determining whether or not you need be concerned about
airborne contaminat ion. If conta mination is known or suspect ed, Hewlett-Packard will be availab le for
consultation.

T emperature and Humidity

Tempe ratu re an d humidity spec ific atio n s f or the H P 3000 and HP 9000 Enterprise Servers are
contain ed in Appendix B of this manual. A good rule of thumb is to avoid extremes of either
temperatu re or hum idi ty at your compu te r site.

2-11

Temperature - The compu ter cabinet and expansion bay cabin et are air cooled with fans bringing cool
air into the equipment, circulating it , and then exhausting whatever heat is generated into the room. To
ensure that airflow is not impeded, do not place the cabinets closer than three feet to walls or
obstructions.

The compute r syste m oper ate s m os t reliably if room temper atu re is ma intai n ed be twe en 68 and 77
degrees Fahrenh eit (20 and 25 degrees Ce lsiu s). Ap pen dix A of this manual conta ins
computer/expansion bay heat dissipation info r mati o n to assi s t you in determini ng your air
conditioning requ irem en ts. Ref er to Sectio n 3 of the Com pu te r Prod ucts Site Pre parati on Reso urce
Guide for additional air conditioning information. The Hew l ett-Pa ck ard CE can assist y o u in
determining the heat dissipation of recommended system peripherals.

Humidity - The computer and expansion bay humidity specifications are contained in Appendix B of
this manual. High humidity levels can cause improper feeding and stacking of printer paper and/or
improper system equipment operation. Extremely low humidity levels aggravate problems of static
electricity. Refer to Section 3 of the Computer Products Site Preparation Resource Guide for additiona l
information.

Electrostatic Discharge

If there is an abnormally high level of static electricity at yo ur co mpu te r sy stem ’s location (15 KV or
higher), personnel will probably be “sparking” upon contact with the equipment. Carpeting and/or low
humidity will probably be the sourc e of static elec tric ity, especially in dry and col d clima tes. Static
electricity can often be sig nif ican tly red uce d by using a humid ifie r. (Hewlett-Packard rec omm en ds a
heat evaporating type humidifier and strongly recommends against using a cold water atomizer type
humidifi er.

Other ways to minimize electrostatic discharge are by using specially grounded mats in front of the
computer sys tem o r by treating carpeting with an ti-stati c spray. Anti-static spray is not recommen ded
because it finds its way into the system intake filter and tends to coat the circuitry. If spray is used, it
should be applied while the system is turned off. Refer to Section 3 of the Computer Products Site
Preparation Resource Guide for additi onal i nformation.

2-12

Miscellaneous Requirements

The following paragraphs contain information not directly related to the computer system’s
installation pro cess, bu t eac h cate go ry shou ld be co nsid ere d in your plan ning. Your Hewlett-Packard
Sales Representativ e can help you determ ine what suppli es you will require and the CE can help you
with decisions concerning storage, record protection, and telephone support.

Computer Supplies

Ask your Hewlett-Packard Sales Representative for a catalog of available supplies such as printer
paper, printer ribbo n, ink cartrid ges, plotter paper, tape cartri dge s, etc .

Media Storage

You should make provisions for storing disc packs, tape cartridges, magnetic tape, and flexible discs in
or near the area where the work is to be performed. The magnetic media storage environment should
be similar to that of the computer; clean and dust free with no exposure to extremes of heat or cold.

Extreme humidity or temperature differences between the working and storage areas can alter the size
of the media when it is moved from one area to the next. This rapid change can result in warping; the
most common media related computer system problem.

If your working and storage areas cannot be kept at the same humidity and temperature, allow ample
time (usua lly one hour or longer) fo r the me d ia to ach iev e a mo istu re an d te mpe r atu re bala n ce befo re
using. The maximum rate of temperature change for the media must not exceed 36 degrees Fahrenheit
(20 degrees Celsius) per hour.

Data on magnetic media can be erased by magnetic fields. These magnetic fields are found in power
generating equip ment such as motors, alternators, transformers, and data processing equipment (disc
drives). Do not place disc cartri dg es, tape cartri dg es, o r flexibl e d iscs on top of disc drives or power
generating devices.

2-13

Protection of Valuable Records

Safeguards should be taken to protect business records and any other information that is either very
expensive or impossible to duplicate . Dupl icate or maste r rec o rds sh ou ld be mai ntained so that vital
information can be retrieved quickly in case of an accident. Copies of vital data should be stored well
away from th e computer area; normally in some type of fire pr o of storag e d ev i ce.

A regular updating p rocess s hould b e put into place to ensur e that t he value of the st ored inf or mation is
maintained . Electro ni c d ata proc essin g insu ran c e is also avai lable to cover both hardw are and
software. Contact your local Hewlett-Packard Sales and Service office for details.

Telephone

You should plan to install a telephone with a long cord near your computer system to expedite
consultations with Hewlett-Packard Sales Representatives, CEs, AEs, and Response Center personnel.
Additional phone lines, appropriately placed, should be planned if a remote support modem is to be
installed with your compu ter sy stem. Re mote suppo rt al lows syste m problem s to be diagnosed fro m a
remote location via the telephone lines.

NOTE

Check with your local telephone company to be sure the telephone
service at the site can accommodate modem/data quality
transmission.

2-14

Chapter 3 - Receiving The Computer System
Equipment Arrivals

All Hewlett-Packard equipment is delivered directly from its point of manufacture. Hewlett-Packard
coordinates t h e ship ment of eq uipment fr om al l locat ions s o t hat it a rri ves at your s ite at approx imat ely
the same time.

In some cases, factors beyond the control of Hewlett-Packard may cause delivery delays. If all
equipment is not received within a two week period, notify your Hewlett-Packard Sales
Representati ve. Th e Sales Representative wi ll trace your orde r an d expedi te de liver y com ple tion.

Checking for Shipping Shortage and Damage

As shipments arr ive, c heck the carrier’s “Bill of Ladi ng” car efull y to ensur e that ev er y item shipp ed b y
Hewlett-Pack ard i s del ive red . Notif y the carri er immediate ly if there are any items mis sing.

Inspect all of the shi ppin g co ntainers for signs of dam ag e bef or e actu al ly u npa c king any of the
equipment. Some typical signs of shipping damage are dents, scratche s, cuts, or w ate r ma rk s. I f an y
damage is found, note on the Bill of Lading that there is “Apparent damage subj ec t to inspe c tion” and
arrange for both the carrier’s representative and the Hewlett-Packard CE to be present when the item is
unpacked.

Regardless of the circu mstan ce s, the Hew lett-Pa ck ard CE w ill take immedi ate acti o n to replace an y
damaged parts without waiting for th e settlement of cla i ms.

3-1

Unpacking the Cartons

The equipment cartons can be unpacked at your convenience, but it is the customers responsibility to
have the equi pment unpacked and mo ved to it s prope r installation location prior to the actu al da y of
installation. Y o u should consider providing additional insurance to cover moving the system
equipment from the receiving area to its installation site.

Locate the packing list (invoice) for each carton that is to be unpacked and ensure that each item on the
list can be accounted for. Contact your Hewlett-Packard Sales Representative immediately if there are
any missing items or if the items received are not the same as you ordered.

Leave the seal ed carto n s contai n ing, sys tem ta pes, cabl es, an d installa tion hardware intact for the
Hewlett-Packard CE.

Locate and refer to the CS 99x Family, CS 890/T-Class Family Installation Guide (HP Par t Numbe r

Space Planning Kit

The top view of the system components are drawn to scale and can be used for designing the floor plan
for the system. When cut out and used on a scaled drawing of the computer site, the cutouts can be
arranged to help determine the best room arrangement. The next page is a sheet of grid paper drawn to
the same sc al e. It can be used to prepare the scale dr aw ing of the proposed system. Use the grid and
cutouts as follows:

• On the grid sheet, draw the room (walls, electrical outlets, immovable objects, floor vents,

etc.) where the co m puter will be locate d .

NOTE

The grid is ¼ inch = 1 foot (6.35 mm = 30.48cm) scale.

• Cut ou t th e mo d e l s r e quired to re pre sent the syste m ordere d. Include any office furn iture th at

will be used.

• Move the cutouts about on the grid to determine the best room arrangement

NOTE

Be sure to allow room for maintenance in the front and back of the
equipment/cabinets. Avoid placing the computer system cabinets
over floor vents. Air flow from such vents could interfere with the
cooling arrangement of the computer system.

• Cabling is required between the computer and each peripheral. Mark each cable’s path and

indicate its necessary length.

Appendix C- Enterprise Parallel Server Considerations
Introduction

Enterprise Para llel Ser v er Sys te ms are gro ups of hig h-pe rformance , PA-RI SC -base d Sym me tr ical
Multiprocessor (SMP) servers integrated with high performance FDDI or Fibre Channel interconnect
and HP MC/System Environment (MCSE) system administration software, for ease of administrati on
and system set-up.

System Application Summary

The Enterprise Parallel Server System functions as a Decision Support Server (DSS). A DSS server
provide s high pe rfo rmance paral l el query cap a bil i ties against a very la rge, cen tr al iz ed data base . Both
multi-user inte ra ctive data acc ess and la rge batch job execu ti ons are expe c te d.

The DSS server suppor ts the foll ow ing appli ca tion environments:

• Concurrent Shared Data “share disk” Access with High Availability (HA) failover

• OLT'P/HA General Server

• Distributed Data “shared nothing” Access with HA failover

C-1

Enterprise Parallel Server Configuration s

There are two basic E nte rpri se Para lle l Serv er con fig urati ons cu rre n tly supp o rte d.

• The first consists of K-Class base and K-Class add-on nodes

• The second h as a T-Class base node and T-Class add-on nodes
Enterprise Parallel Server Models including:

Model EPS 22 Configuration

The EPS 22 is compri se d of an HP 9000 K - 460 in a 1.6 m eter cabi n et, and up to se v e n K-460 ad d -on
nodes. The add-on nod e s can be in 1.6-meter cabin ets or 2-m e te r cabi n ets .
When in 2-meter cabinets, there are two K-460 SPUs mounted in one 2-meter cabinet.
Peripheral compo n ents (UP S’s, FDDI conce ntrator s etc. ) are install ed in expan sion cabi nets.
A 1.6-meter expansion cabinet with two 3.0 kVA UPS’ s is also available.

• There are High Ava ilab il ity (HA) and non-HA versions available.

• Add-on nodes can be installed in 1.6 m eter ca bin ets or 2-m ete r cabi net s.

• If two meter cabinets are used, two K-460 SPUs are installed in one 2-meter cabinet.

• Peripheral co mpo nen ts are ins talled in an expan sion cabi n et as soc iated with the 2-mete r
cabinet.

Model EPS 30 Configuration

The Model EPS 30 is comprised of an HP 9000 T-520 base node, in a 1.6-meter cabinet, and the
following:

• 8 Node FDDI connect - High Availability, and

• 8 Node - Service Guard/4-node - OPS - High Availability

NOTE

Power Distribu t ion Uni ts (PDUs) are not instal led in 2-meter
cabinets containing two K-460 SPU’s or 1.6 meter cabinets
containing two 3.0 kVA UPS’s.

C-2

Node Upgrade

The K460 and T520 nodes can be upgraded as fo llows.

K460 Node - E ach K 4 60 can be upgrad ed with up to three more PA-RISC processors and up to 3.75
GB of memory. A 3.0KV Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) and various I/O, network, and storage
options are available for each node. For more information, contact your local HP sales representative
or see the HP 9000 Enterprise Servers Configuration Guide (5965-4747E).

T520 Nodes - Each T520 can be upgraded to a total of 14, 120 MHz PA-RISC pro cesso rs and up to

3.75 GB of memory. An Uninter rup tible Power Suppl y (UPS) and various netwo rk, I/O, and storage

options are available for each node. For more information, contact your local HP sales representative
or see the HP 9000 Enterprise Servers Configuration Guide (5965-4747E)

C-3

Space Planning

There is only o ne space planning requirement that is peculiar to an HP 9000 Parallel Server
environment. In this envir onment the Terminal Server is mounted just inside the outer cover panel on
the left side (from the front) o f the expansi on cabi n et. Mai n ten an ce access spac e on the lef t side of the
base node expansi on cabinet mu st be all ow ed for access to the Terminal Server.

For detailed site planning information on K- Class Servers, refer to the “Space Planning” section in
this manual.

For detailed site planning information on the T- Class Server, refer to the “Space Planning” section in
it’s Site Preparation Manual (A1809-90002).

Use the grid (¼ inch to 1 foot scal e) and the equ i pme nt top vie w “fo otpri n t s” of the K-Cl ass and
T-Class system compo n ent s, on the fol lowing pages, to assist you in initial equipment layout.

It is recommended that you photocopy these pages before cutting them out , making multiple copies as
needed. When cut out a nd used on a s cale drawi ng of the comput er room sit e, the cutouts c an pro vide a
simple way to determine the best equipment arrangement.
