HP StorageWorks 200 Storage Virtualization System site preparation guide (AE071-96003, October 2006)

Environmental requirements
The environmental specifications for op erating this system must b e satisfied before installation.
Altitude
The maximum altitude for system operation is 3,000 meters. For nonoperational or stora g e situations,
the maximum altitude is 4,000 meters.
Air conditi
oning
Use separa
te computer room air conditioning duct work. If it is not separate from the rest of the building,
it might be
difficult to control cooling and a ir pressure levels. Duct work seals are important for
maintaining a balanced air conditioning system and high static air pressure. Adequate cooling capacity
means little if humidity levels increase when the ducts are exposed to warm air, producing condensation.
Condensation on any disk hardware can damage the components.
Any questions regarding the adequacy of airflow construction should be referred to and evaluated by a
qualified structural engineer.
