HP StorageWorks XP10000 Disk Array Site Preparation Guide (AE102-96014, March 2008)
2. Carefully review chapter 2 to understand the site requirements for the disk array. If you plan to
connect additional external storage, be sure to take the requirements of that storage into account.
See the documentation for the external system.
3. Use the information, instructions, and tools in chapter 2 to determine site requirements for the
specific disk array components you ordered.
4. On the site preparation checklist, answer each item Yes or No as it relates to your site. The
checklist includes references to the pages in this guide where you can find more information on
each item.
5. Checklist items that require a Yes answer are marked with asterisks (*). If you answer No to any
of these items, your site does not meet site requirements for the disk array. Using the information
in chapter 2, correct the site environment so that you can answer Yes for each of these items.
6. When your site meets all site requirements, contact your HP Service Representative to coordinate
delivery of the disk array equipment.
7. If you choose to unpack the equipment cartons without HP supervision, follow the instructions in
chapter 4.
8. Contact the HP Service Representative to schedule disk array installation and configuration.
