Notes:
1. Actual clearances for installation should be determined after consulting with construction specialist responsible for
installation building, as they could vary depending on the size/layout of the system and building conditions.
2. When various configurations of disk arrays are arranged in a row, clearance values based on the largest disk
array configuration should be used.
3. From the viewpoint of maintenance operations, it is suggested that Clearance (c) be made as large as possible.
Operational requirements
The operational requirements for the XP7 include:
• LAN for Remote Web Console
Remote Web Console communicates with XP7 Storage over a LAN to obtain system configuration
and status information and send user-requested commands to the disk array. Remote Web Console
serves as the integrated interface for all Resource Manager components.
• Cable length for channel adapters
Table 17 (page 32) lists the cable length requirements for the CHAs in XP7 Storage.
