12
• System dimensions —Select a rack mounting solution that has the appropriate depth to accommodate
the following:
– All of the system components.
– All of the mounting kits and associated rails.
– Any additional rack-mounted PDUs.
System weight —Select a rack mounting solution that can withstand the following:
– The static loads required for a P100E3 system.
– The dynamic loads required if a system will be moved from the installation location.
.
• Cable management —The system is designed so the cables are wired at the back of the system.
Ensure that the system cabling can be routed safely and efficiently through the selected route.
• Grounding —Ensure that both the electrical components used to power the system and the rack itself
can be grounded safely.
2.4 Delivery route inspection
During the receiving process, the system will need to be moved through the facility until it reaches the data
center or computer room where it will be installed. This section describes the considerations that the
installation team should make before receiving the system and moving it through the facility.
2.4.1 Walking path inspection
Walking paths must be clear of obstructions and wide enough to allow passage of the packaged system
(44.5in. x 51in.) to the location where it will be unpacked. The following is a list of obstructions to
consider when conducting a walking path inspection:
• Cables —Consider removing cables, including ramped cable covers, from the walking path before
moving the pallet. Leaving the cables in place creates a safety hazard for the installation team and can
damage the cables.
• Lift Locations —There may be locations along the walking path where the system must be lifted in
order to proceed. Make sure that lift equipment is available at this location on the day of the delivery.
• Elevators —Ensure that any elevators that will be required to lift the equipment to the data center/
computer room are rated to carry the full load of the system plus passengers.
• Security —Make sure that all site security requirements adhered to and that all personnel are made
aware of the parameters under which they must work.
2.5 Build space requirements
The ActiveScale P100E3 is delivered on a pallet and installed on-site. This section describes the space
required for unpacking and installation.
