ActiveScale™ P100E3 Site Requirements Guide
13
Use the following guidelines regarding build space during installation:
• Plan an unpacking and installation sequence if there is not enough space to unpack and store all of the
components at once.
• While installing system components, a minimum of 48 in (1220 mm) of space is required at the front
of the rack. This allows for the largest system component to be installed by two people. If space is not
available in the location where the system will operate, consider building the system outside the
operational location and moving it into location when finished.
• If the system will be moved after being built, measure the size of the rack and check the walking path
to ensure that the rack will fit as it moves through the deployment site.
Important: Before moving the system, verify that the rack can support the
dynamic load of the system weight during movement. .
2.6 Servicing space requirements
Important: Mounting a PDU or other equipment vertically in the rack can
hinder the ability to service components.
To properly install and service system components, the ActiveScale P100E3 system requires space at the
front and rear of the system.
