DANGER
viii Site and hardware planning

Observe the following precautions when working on or around your IT rack system:
vHeavy equipment–personal injury or equipment damage might result if mishandled.
vAlways lower the leveling pads on the rack cabinet.
vAlways install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet.
vTo avoid hazardous conditions due to uneven mechanical loading, always install the heaviest
devices in the bottom of the rack cabinet. Always install servers and optional devices starting
from the bottom of the rack cabinet.
vRack-mounted devices are not to be used as shelves or work spaces. Do not place objects on top
of rack-mounted devices.
vEach rack cabinet might have more than one power cord. Be sure to disconnect all power cords in
the rack cabinet when directed to disconnect power during servicing.
vConnect all devices installed in a rack cabinet to power devices installed in the same rack
cabinet. Do not plug a power cord from a device installed in one rack cabinet into a power
device installed in a different rack cabinet.
vAn electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage on the metal parts of
the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the responsibility of the customer to
ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock.
CAUTION
vDo not install a unit in a rack where the internal rack ambient temperatures will exceed the
manufacturer's recommended ambient temperature for all your rack-mounted devices.
vDo not install a unit in a rack where the air flow is compromised. Ensure that air flow is not
blocked or reduced on any side, front, or back of a unit used for air flow through the unit.
vConsideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit so that
overloading of the circuits does not compromise the supply wiring or overcurrent protection. To
provide the correct power connection to a rack, refer to the rating labels located on the
equipment in the rack to determine the total power requirement of the supply circuit.
v(For sliding drawers.) Do not pull out or install any drawer or feature if the rack stabilizer brackets

Removing components from the upper positions in the rack cabinet improves rack stability during
relocation. Follow these general guidelines whenever you relocate a populated rack cabinet within a
room or building:
vReduce the weight of the rack cabinet by removing equipment starting at the top of the rack
cabinet. When possible, restore the rack cabinet to the configuration of the rack cabinet as you
received it. If this configuration is not known, you must observe the following precautions:
– Remove all devices in the 32U position and above.
– Ensure that the heaviest devices are installed in the bottom of the rack cabinet.
– Ensure that there are no empty U-levels between devices installed in the rack cabinet below the
32U level.
vIf the rack cabinet you are relocating is part of a suite of rack cabinets, detach the rack cabinet from
the suite.
vInspect the route that you plan to take to eliminate potential hazards.
vVerify that the route that you choose can support the weight of the loaded rack cabinet. Refer to the
documentation that comes with your rack cabinet for the weight of a loaded rack cabinet.
vVerify that all door openings are at least 760 x 230 mm (30 x 80 in.).
vEnsure that all devices, shelves, drawers, doors, and cables are secure.
vEnsure that the four leveling pads are raised to their highest position.
vEnsure that there is no stabilizer bracket installed on the rack cabinet during movement.
vDo not use a ramp inclined at more than 10 degrees.
vWhen the rack cabinet is in the new location, complete the following steps:
– Lower the four leveling pads.
– Install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet.
– If you removed any devices from the rack cabinet, repopulate the rack cabinet from the lowest
position to the highest position.
vIf a long-distance relocation is required, restore the rack cabinet to the configuration of the rack
cabinet as you received it. Pack the rack cabinet in the original packaging material, or equivalent.

xii Site and hardware planning

Site and hardware physical planning overview
Successful installation requires effective planning of your physical and operational environment. You are
the most valuable resource in site planning because you know where and how your system, and devices
attached to it, will be used.
Site preparation for the complete system is the responsibility of the customer. The primary task of your
site planner is to ensure that each system is installed so that it can operate and be serviced efficiently.
This topic collection provides the basic information you need to plan for your system installation. It
provides an overview of each planning task, as well as valuable reference information useful throughout
the performance of these tasks. Depending on the complexity of the system you ordered and your
existing computing resource, you might not need to perform all the steps noted here.
First, with the help of your systems engineer, sales representative, or with the help of those coordinating
your installation, list the hardware for which you need to plan. Use the summary of your order to help
you when making your list. This list is now your “To Do” list. You can use the Planning task checklist to
assist you.
While you are responsible for planning, vendors, contractors, and your sales representative are also
available to help with any aspect of the planning. For some system units, a customer service
representative will install your system unit and verify correct operation. Some system units are
considered customer-installed. If you are not sure, check with your sales representative.
The physical planning section of this topic collection provides the physical characteristics of many system
units, and associated products. For information on products not included in this topic collection, contact
your sales representative or your authorized dealer.
Before proceeding with planning, ensure that the hardware and software you have chosen meets your
needs. Your sales representative is available to answer questions.
While this information is for hardware planning, the system memory and disk storage needed are a
function of the software to be used, therefore some things to consider are listed below. Information on
software products is generally in or with the software Licensed Program Product itself.
In assessing the adequacy of hardware and software, consider the following:
vAvailable disk space and system memory for accommodating software, online documentation, and data
(including future growth needs resulting from additional users, more data, and new applications)
vCompatibility of all devices
vCompatibility of software packages with each other and with the hardware configuration
vAdequate redundancy or backup capabilities in hardware and software
vSoftware portability to the new system, if necessary
