•
Maintaining the proper environmental conditions for the system.
•
Providing adequate power facilities for the system.
•
Supplying the network connections and external cabling required by the system.

Enabling the appropriate HPE 3PAR remote support strategy.
NOTE:
Electronic equipment has special packing for shipping and receives special handling
during transportation. Hewlett Packard Enterprise is responsible for the manufacturing environment
and packaging for shipping.
Environment
—For optimal performance at a specific location, systems require controlled
environmental conditions that can best be facilitated through raised flooring and under-floor air
conditioning. It is the customer's responsibility to monitor this environment to ensure continued
conformance with the recommended environmental specifications.
Power
—Adequate power is necessary for the reliable functioning of electronic equipment and
for the safety of the customer's installation. The customer is responsible for procuring, installing,
and maintaining adequate power to the equipment.
For specific information concerning server-room environments and for input electrical power and
grounding requirements, see the
