HP XP7 Getting Started Guide

*1 Clearance (a+b) is based on the floor load rating and the clearance (c). Floor load rating and
required clearances are shown in Table 17 (page 36).
*2 Clearance (d) is required over 300mm to open the front door. In the case that the clearance
(d) is less tan the clearance (a), give priority to clearance (a).

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 HP XP7 include:
• LAN for Remote Web Console
Remote Web Console communicates with the HP XP7 disk array 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 18 (page 36) lists the cable length requirements for the CHAs in the HP XP7 disk array.
