Depending on customer requirements, the Principal Operator may or may not perform all of these tasks. In some installations there may be two or three people assigned to the various “operator”...
Site Planning Team The Site Planning Team is responsible for the following tasks: • Determining site location and size • Reviewing construction requirements • Reviewing local codes • Reviewing insurance requirements • Scheduling all events related to site completion Members of the Site Planning Team should include the Site Coordinator, Principal Operator, Hewlett-Packard CE, electrical contractor, a site construction coordinator (familiar with local electrical codes), and an air conditioning specialist.
Chapter 2 - Site Preparation Guidelines Site Preparation Guidelines This chapter provides specific site preparation guidelines for the HP 3000 and HP 9000 Enterprise Servers. The Hewlett-Packard CE will assist you in advance as the Site Planning Summary is completed.
Preparing For Installation The following paragraphs contain information to help you properly plan for the arrival and installation of your computer system. Computer Site Safety Considerations The two major safety considerations for any computer site are fire safety and emergency power shut off (electrical).
Floor Plan Hewlett-Packard recommends that a floor plan be prepared showing the overall location and arrangement of your computer system components. Enough space should be provided for people to work efficiently on a daily basis and for periodic servicing of the equipment. A three-foot clearance in front and in back of each major computer system component usually satisfies this requirement.
Computer Room Construction If you are planning to construct a new computer room or modify an existing site, first consult with your Hewlett-Packard representatives and local contractors. Remember to plan the site with future expansion in mind so that equipment can be added without disrupting the computer system’s operation.
Page 23
Office building floors are usually rated at 50 pounds per square foot (244 kilograms per square meter) with an additional allowance of 20 pounds per square foot (98 kilograms per square meter) for partitions. If you are planning for a large computer system, your computer room floor and/or raised floor must be able to support 100 pounds per square foot (488 kilograms per square meter).
30 Amps Breaker Rating (motor start rating) 20 Amps for: HP 9000 Models K100, K200, K210, K220, K400, K410, & K420 and HP 3000 Models 929KS, 939KS, 959KS, 969KS/x00, and 969KS/x20 NOTE Some systems require single-phase power. Single-phase power may be obtained by making power connections in one of the following ways: •...
Line Voltage The AC line voltage available from a wall outlet is determined by the local electrical power provider and the building power distribution network. Voltages outside the operating range of the system can cause system errors, or a system shutdown. If required, the Hewlett-Packard CE along with your electrician can determine the line voltage and make recommendations.
AC line power and make recommendations, if required. Dedicated Circuits The HP 3000 and HP 9000 Enterprise Servers require dedicated circuits or individual branch circuits (separate circuit breakers). This ensures that there are no other devices trip the circuit breaker and ensures that there is sufficient power to run the system.
Receptacles When receptacles are used to connect system components to AC power, the receptacles must include a dedicated ground connection that is insulated from the receptacle box. It is important that the receptacle box be grounded with an additional ground connection that is non-dedicated. (The additional ground can be a hard metal conduit.) When installing receptacles, ensure that each receptacle has its own neutral (if required) and ground.
Sources of Electrical Interference Convenience Wall Outlets Power outlets for building maintenance equipment (i.e., vacuum cleaners, floor buffers, etc.) must be wired from circuit breakers on a power panel completely separate from the computer system panel. The ground connections from these outlets must be connected to a building power distribution panel; not the computer system ground.
Electromagnetic Interference The HP 3000 and HP 9000 Enterprise Servers are specifically designed to reduce their susceptibility to radiated and conducted interference. Electromagnetic interference can cause a variety of computer system problems. The Hewlett-Packard CE can advise you about many of the most common causes of electromagnetic interference.
Temperature - The computer cabinet and expansion bay cabinet are air cooled with fans bringing cool air into the equipment, circulating it, and then exhausting whatever heat is generated into the room. To ensure that airflow is not impeded, do not place the cabinets closer than three feet to walls or obstructions.
Miscellaneous Requirements The following paragraphs contain information not directly related to the computer system’s installation process, but each category should be considered in your planning. Your Hewlett-Packard Sales Representative can help you determine what supplies you will require and the CE can help you with decisions concerning storage, record protection, and telephone support.
Protection of Valuable Records Safeguards should be taken to protect business records and any other information that is either very expensive or impossible to duplicate. Duplicate or master records should be maintained so that vital information can be retrieved quickly in case of an accident. Copies of vital data should be stored well away from the computer area;...
Chapter 3 - Receiving The Computer System Equipment Arrivals All Hewlett-Packard equipment is delivered directly from its point of manufacture. Hewlett-Packard coordinates the shipment of equipment from all locations so that it arrives at your site at approximately the same time. In some cases, factors beyond the control of Hewlett-Packard may cause delivery delays.
Leave the sealed cartons containing, system tapes, cables, and installation hardware intact for the Hewlett-Packard CE. Locate and refer to the CS 99x Family, CS 890/T-Class Family Installation Guide (HP Part Number A1809-90001) for the HP 3000 Corporate Business Systems and HP 9000 Corporate Business Servers for specific unpacking and inspection procedures.
