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). When considering safety precautions, emphasis should be exercised on all matters
concerning personnel and equipment. The Hewlett-Packard CE, your insurance carrier, and local
building inspectors can advise you on these matters.
Fire Safety
When considering fire safety, the customers insurance carrier should be consulted for suggestions and
recommendations as to the adequacy of existing or proposed fire control systems. If a new site is to be
built or an existing structure modified, consult local building codes for fire prevention and protection.
Also, consult with the Hewlett-Packard CE and local fire inspector for additional information.
Emergency Power Shut Off
The computer system power panel should include a shunt-trip wired to an emergency shut-off switch
and a thermostat device. This is for deactivating all equipment power in case of an emergency or in
case room temperature exceeds safe operating conditions. Refer to Section 3 of the Computer Products
Site Preparation Resource Guide for additional information.
