What type of host connectivity do you need?
5.
What type of power input do you have?
6.
Does the installation site meet the physical site requirements for the
FlashSystem A9000R and features that you plan to order? For example:
v
Can you space the racks to allow for sufficient floor strength?
v
Is there adequate cooling capacity to handle the new equipment?
v
Is sufficient power available?
v
Do you need 30A or 60A power cables?
