• Adequate protection from electrostatic discharge (ESD).
• Adequate protection from electrical/radio frequency interference.
• Adequate protection from dust, pollution, and particulate contamination
• Adequate acoustic insulation for operating the system.
Power/PDU requirements
At the time of placing the order, make sure that the location can support the HP StoreOnce Backup
System’s input power and power outlet requirements. The AC power input for the HP StoreOnce
Backup System has a duplex PDU structure, this means that between two and four PDUs must be
connected, depending on configuration.
Prior to installation you should confirm that you have specified the correct PDU for your geographical
location and connector type and that you have sufficient power outlets. See Power/PDU
requirements (page 16).
NOTE: The Power/PDU requirement varies depending upon the number of racks, couplets and
storage, and the input voltage.
