Step 3. Verifying environmental requirements
Verify that the physical requirements are met.
Certain requirements for the physical site must be met to ensure that your system
works reliably. This step includes verifying that adequate space in a suitable rack is
available and that requirements for power and environmental conditions are met.
This documentation assumes that you have completed the physical planning for
the environment of your system.
If you have not done the environmental planning for your system, see the Storwize
V7000 Unified physical installation planning topic in the Storwize V7000 Unified
Information Center.
You must use a supported web browser. Verify that you are using a supported web
browser from the following website:

Step 4. Reviewing enclosure location guidelines
Create a plan that identifies appropriate rack locations for your system.
Control enclosure:
Follow these guidelines to create a plan that identifies an appropriate location in
the rack for the enclosure and file modules that you are installing now or will be
installing later.
Note: These guidelines assume that you are installing a new enclosure or
enclosures. If you are adding enclosures to an existing rack, you must consider the
amount of space available and the length of cables to the enclosure.
If you are installing a control enclosure only, follow these guidelines:
Position the enclosure in the rack so that you can easily view it and access it for
servicing. This action helps the rack to remain stable and provides a way for two
or more people to install and remove the enclosure.
If you are installing a control enclosure plus one or more expansion enclosures,
follow these guidelines:
