HP StorageWorks XP12000 Disk Array Site Preparation Guide
Calculating the weight of your disk array configuration
The total weight of your array configuration includes not just the DKC and
DKU(s), but also the number of disk drives in each cabinet and any
optional components. Your site must have adequate floor strength to
support the total weight of the array, from the delivery area to the computer
room.
Use the weight calculation worksheet
(page 23)
to calculate the total weight
of your unpackaged array configuration, in your preferred units (kg or lb).
See Table 6
(page 24)
for an example of a completed worksheet.
Use the calculated total weight to estimate the required floor load rating for
the computer room
(page 28)
