• Extend leveling jacks to the floor.
• Ensure that the full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks.
• Install sta
bilizing feet on the rack.
• In multiple-rack installations, fasten racks together securely.
• Extend only one rack component at a time. Racks can become unstable if more
than one co
mponent is extended.

Preface
1 Site prep team and tasks
The objective of a site preparation is to prepare your site for the successful and timely
installation of the HP XP10000 disk array. Proper site preparation is vital for the
reliability of the disk array.
Site prep involves a careful balance of equipment design criteria, site environmental
variables, your business needs, and your budget constraints.
In addition to this guide, other site prep resources may be available to you. The HP
service organization is committed to making sure you receive maximum benefitfromyour
disk array. HP representatives will guide and assist you throughout the site prep process.

Thesiteprepteam
The site prep team plans, schedules, and completes all tasks necessary to prepare your
site for succ
essful disk array installation.
The site prep team consists of HP representatives and you, the customer.
HP representative responsibilities
The HP team includes various HP representatives who have the training, knowledge,
experience, tools, and parts required to install and maintain XP disk arrays. This team:
• Helps you to determine and implement the site requirements for your specific
site and array configuration
• Coordinates all HP resources to ensure successful delivery and installation of
the disk array
Your HP SR is your primary point of contact with HP during the site preparation process.
Customer responsibilities
As part of
thesiteprepteam,yourresponsibilitiesincludeplanningandpreparing
asuitab
le environment for the disk array, and scheduling equipment delivery and
installation. However, HP representatives are available to help you throughout the site
prep process. Your internal site team may include personnel specializing in your site
comput
er room, such as your storage administrator and your site electrician.

Site prep team and tasks
Site prep tasks
Contact your HP SR for assistance at any time during the site prep process.
1. If you have not printed a copy of this guide, HP recommends that you print at least
Chapter 2 and the “Site prep checklist”. Working from printed copies makes it
easier to use the tools provided and provides hard copy documents that you can
keep for you
rrecords.
2. Carefully review Chapter 2 to understand the site requirements for the disk array.
If you plan to connect additional external storage to the XP10000, be sure to
take the requirements of that storage into account. See the documentation for the
external
system.
3. Use the information, instructions, and tools in Chapter 2 to determine site
requirements for the specific disk array components you ordered.
4. On the si
te prep checklist, answer ea ch item “Yes” or “No” as it relates to your site.
The checklist includes references to the pages in this guide where you can find
more information on each item.
5. Checklist items that require a “Yes” answer are marked with asterisks (*). If you
answe
r “No” for any of these items, your site does not meet site requirements for the
disk array. Using the information in Chapter 2, correct the site environment so that
you can answer “Yes” for each of these items.
6. When your site meets all site requirements, contact your HP SR to coordinate
del
ivery of the disk array equipment.
7. If you choose to unpack the equipment cartons without HP supervision, follow the
instructions in Chapter 3.
8. Co
ntact the HP SR to schedule disk array installation and configuration.

Disk array physical specifications
Use the information in this section to determine the total dimensions and weight for your
specificarrayconfiguration. You will need these values to complete other procedures
in this chapter.
The followin
g figure shows the disk array equipment racks.
Primary rack
In the basic configuration, the disk array consists of one primary 19-inch rack containing
the following:
• One disk con
troller with control panel and SVP blade PC
• One 60-disk chassis, consisting of two 30-drive HDU boxes
• Mix board with disk adapters and host ports
• Power supp
lies, power distribution units (PDUs), backup batteries, power cords,
and cabling
Primary rack expansion
You can exp
and the primary rack as follows:
• Add one 60-disk chassis containing two 30-drive HDU boxes to the top space of
the primary rack. This provides a total of 120 drives.
Second rack
After exp
anding the primary rack, you can add a second 19-inch rack with additional
disk uni
ts as follows:
• Addone60-diskchassistothesecondrackforatotalof180drives
• Add a second 60-disk chassis to the second rack for a total of 240 drives
Disk arr
ay basic storage includes disk chassis R0 in the primary rack. Add more disk
chassi
s in the order shown in the figure: R1, R2, R3.

Dimensions and
weights
Use the packaged values when determining delivery space and loading requirements
and unpackaged values during space and floor load planning. In the USA and Canada,
most shipments use a special carrier process in which frames are shipped without
pallets, ramps, or cartons. In these cases, the packaged weight is the unpackaged
weight plus
23 kg (50 lb).

Calculating the weight of your disk array configuration
The total weight of your array configuration includes the controller, the disk chassis, plus
the total of all disk drives in each cabinet and any optional components. Your site must
have adequate floor strength to suppor t the total weight of the array, from the delivery
area to the co
mputer room.
Fill in the following weight calculation worksheet to calculate the total weight of your
unpackaged array configuration, in your preferred units (kg or lb). Following the
worksheet is a completed example worksheet.
Use the calc
ulated total weight to estimate the required floor load rating for the computer
room as explained later in this chapter.
