Storage requirements
If the equipment must be stored after delivery and prior to installation, the storage location must
meet the storage environmental requirements for the HP XP7 disk array. See the Table 24 (page
47) in this chapter for environmental storage requirements.
Data center requirements
The data center must meet the following facilities requirements:
Table 6 Data center requirements
DescriptionItem
The data center must provide appropriate power, air conditioning, cabling, and fire
protection.

Data communication requirements
Route data communication cables away from areas of high static electric fields created by power
transformers and heavy foot traffic. Use shielded data communication cables that meet approved
industrial standards to reduce the effects of external fields.The HP XP7 frames support top access
and bottom access for host cables. Routing the host cables in a HP XP7 requires HP support
personnel to install. The data communication infrastructure needed for the HP XP7 disk array is
described in “Data communication requirements” (page 21).
