HP StorageWorks 9100 Extreme Data Storage System getting started guide v1.0.1 (AN540-96007, February 2009)

enter the cabinet, and the rear of the cabinet must be adequately
ventilated to enable the warm air to escape from the cabinet.
IMPORTANT:
Do not block the ventilation openings.
Temperature requirements
To ensure continued safe and reliable equipment operation, install or
position the cabinet in a well-ventilated, climate-controlled environment.
The operating temperature inside the rack is always higher than the
room temperature and is dependent on the configuration of equipment
in the cabinet.
Power requirements
For HP ExDS9100 power requirements, see the QuickSpecs at http://
h18006.www1.hp.com/products/storageworks/xtreme_9100/
index.html
Installation of this equipment must comply with local and regional
electrical regulations governing the installation of IT equipment by
licensed electricians. This equipment is designed to operate in installations
covered by NFPA 70, 1999 Edition (National Electric Code) and
NFPA-75, 1992 (code for Protection of Electronic Computer/Data
Processing Equipment). For electrical power ratings on options, see the
product rating label or the user documentation supplied with that option.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of personal injury, fire, or damage to the
equipment, do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that
provides power to the rack. Consult the electrical authority
having jurisdiction over wiring and installation requirements of
your facility.
WARNING!
Protect the components from power fluctuations and temporary
interruptions with a regulating uninterruptible power supply
(UPS). This device protects the hardware from damage caused
by power surges and voltage spikes and keeps the components
in operation during a power failure. Using common power
outlet strips to supply power to this equipment is not
recommended.
Grounding requirements
This equipment must be grounded properly for proper operation and
safety. In the United States, you must install the equipment in accordance
with NFPA 70, 1999 Edition (National Electric Code), Article 250, as
well as any local and regional building codes.
In Canada, you must install the equipment in accordance with Canadian
Standards Association, CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code.
In all other countries, you must install the equipment in accordance with
any regional or national electrical wiring codes, such as the International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Code 364, parts 1 through 7.
Furthermore, you must be sure that all power distribution devices used
in the installation, such as branch wiring and receptacles, are listed or
certified grounding-type devices.
Because of the high ground-leakage currents associated with this
equipment, HP recommends the use of a power distribution unit (PDU)
that is either permanently wired to the building’s branch circuit or includes
a nondetachable cord that is wired to an industrial-style plug. NEMA
locking-style plugs or those complying with IEC 60309 are considered
suitable for this purpose.
Unpacking and positioning the cabinet
1. Remove the outer packaging from the HP ExDS9100.
2. Verify that the product matches your expectations and requirements.
3. Inspect for damage. Contact HP technical support if you note any
damage.
4. Move the cabinet to its prepared location using the proper equip-
ment, following the safety guidelines. See Planning the installation.
Connecting all power cables
Connect power cables to the proper power sources.
When power is applied for the first time after delivery, the server blades
and storage enclosures remain in the powered off state. The correct
sequence for powering on the system for the first time is described in
the HP StorageWorks 9100 Extreme Data Storage System administration
guide.
However, if you must power on the system before the commissioning
process is complete, power on components in the following order:
1. ExDS9100cx enclosures
2. ExDS9100c enclosures
3. Server blades
NOTE:
The HP ExDS9100 arrives with its components cabled properly.
You should not need to cable the components.
Commissioning the HP ExDS9100
After the HP StorageWorks 9100 Extreme Data Storage Systems is set
up, a certified HP technician commissions the system at your site for
operation in your environment.
The HP StorageWorks 9100 Extreme Data Storage System administration
guide provides detailed information about how to configure the system
for productive use. The following is a summary of the steps performed
by trained HP personnel:
1. Verify the system has been correctly assembled.
2. Assign an IP address for each server and connect the system to the
network.
3. Configure the following:
• Network interfaces
