2.5 Servicing space requirement
The ActiveScale X100 requires that enough space be available at the front and the rear of the system to
install and service system components. The front space requirement is based on the length of the longest
system component, plus the space necessary to fit a person servicing the system. The rear space
requirements is based on space a technician would need to service all of the CRU and FRU parts at the rear
of the unit.

Figure 2 - 1. Minimum Servicing Space Required
The following list contains other considerations that should be made for servicing the system:
• Mounting a PDU or other equipment vertically in the customer selected rack may impede the ability of
technicians to service system components. For example, because of the position of the Storage Enclosure
Basic fans, mounting a PDU or other equipment too close to these components could necessitate the
removal of the PDU in order to service those parts.
2.6 Delivery route inspection
During the receiving process, the system components will need to be moved through the facility until it
reaches the data center or computer room where the system will be installed. This section describes the
considerations that the installation team should make before receiving the system and moving it through
the facility.
2.6.1 Walking path inspection
Walking paths must be clear of obstructions and wide enough to allow passage of the system components
to the site 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.
