Chapter 4. Planning for hardware
Before the IBM Service Support Representative (SSR) installs the system hardware, the customer must
provide a plan that explains where and how the hardware will be installed, configured, and connected.
Ensure that the system's physical configuration records are easily accessible to be used as a reference as
needed.
The customers have to work with the IBM technical team to plan for installation and deployment of IBM
Elastic Storage System 5000 Expansion – Model 092.
Planning for site preparation
This information is intended to help you prepare your physical site for the installation of a Model 092
expansion enclosure. Marketing and installation planning representatives are also available to help you
plan your installation. Proper planning for your new system facilitates a smooth installation and a fast
system startup.
The use of the terms, “server”, “processor”, “system” and “all models” in the following information refer
to the IBM Elastic Storage System 5000 Expansion – Model 092.
Site preparation and physical planning
For detailed guidelines about site preparation and physical planning, see the Site preparation and
Planning for hardware installation
Before the IBM SSR installs the system, you must plan the physical configuration and the initial data
configuration.
Certain physical site specifications must be met before you can set up your system. This activity includes
verifying that adequate space is available, and requirements for power, network, and environmental
conditions are met.
Important: The IBM SSR refers to these system configuration details when they perform the system
installation, so it is important that these records are complete and accurate.
1. Review all the guidelines in the Planning topics to understand where the system can be installed and
identify all prerequisites, such as building structure, equipment rack, environmental controls, power
supply, and accessibility.
If there are dependencies identified, you need to resolve them before the IBM SSR installs your
system hardware.
2. Use the Table 23 on page 73 to identify the rack locations where the IBM SSR will install each
enclosure.
Planning for racks
For detailed rack specification information on the 7965-S42 rack, see Planning for the 7965-S42 rack.
If you do not have a 7965-S42 rack and want to install the system into a non-IBM rack, see “Model 092
expansion enclosure requirements” on page 26. Ensure that the physical environment meets the
specified requirements, such as rack space, power, and environmental conditions.
