General safety guidelines
Observe the following general site guidelines:
• General Requirements: The data center must comply with all applicable safety regulations,
standards, and requirements for installing and operating industrial computer equipment similar
to a HP XP7 disk array.
• Fire protection: The data center must have an operational fire protection system appropriate
for use with computer and electrical equipment
• Hazards: The data center must be free of hazards (for example, cables on the floor that block
access or that can cause people to trip).
• Equipment modifications: Do not make mechanical or electrical modifications to the equipment.
HP is not responsible for regulatory compliance of a modified HP product.

the control and drive chassis to a rigid structure extending from the floor to the ceiling or from
the walls of the room in which the system is located
