3PAR InServ E-Class/F-Class Storage Server Physical Planning Manual
Adequate power is necessary for the reliable functioning of electronic equipment and for the
safety of the customer's installation. The customer is responsible for procuring, installing, and
maintaining adequate power to the equipment. Refer to Chapter 5, Power Requirements for
input electrical power and grounding requirements.
To facilitate remote support, a telephone connection to the 3PAR can be established through
the service processor. Refer to Chapter 6, Network, Cabling and Connectivity for more
information.
3.2.2 Planning for Installation
The following are suggested site planning considerations to be completed prior to the delivery
and installation of the selected 3PAR InServ Storage Server:
■ Prepare a preliminary layout of the subsystem installation.
■ Review the power and the heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) requirements.
■ Order any additional support equipment indicated by the power and HVAC review.
■ Work with the appropriate 3PAR representative to ensure that all system units in the
specified configuration and all cables of the required length have been ordered.
■ Make a final layout of the installation and review the layout with your 3PAR
representative.
■ Select key personnel and arrange for training with your 3PAR representative.
■ Verify that electrical service wiring has been installed at the server’s predetermined
location. Refer to the respective product specifications for detailed requirements.
■ Verify that any additional support equipment is properly installed and operational.
At installation time, the 3PAR representative will supervise the delivery and unpacking of the
equipment.
NOTE: No part of the installation, from unloading the crated server from the
delivery vehicle to unpacking and placement, should be performed without the
supervision of a 3PAR representative. This is a fundamental requirement for the
safety of both the equipment and personnel.
