Rack warnings

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure that:

• The leveling jacks are extended to the floor.

• The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks.

• The stabilizing feet are attached to the rack if it is a single-rack installation.

• The racks are coupled together in multiple-rack installations.

• Only one component is extended at a time. A rack may become unstable if more than one

component is extended for any reason.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage when unloading a rack:

• At least two people are needed to safely unload the rack from the pallet. An empty 42U rack

can weigh as much as 115 kg (253 lb), can stand more than 2.1 m (7 ft) tall, and might

become unstable when being moved on its casters.

• Never stand in front of the rack when it is rolling down the ramp from the pallet. Always handle

the rack from both sides.

Third-party racks

HP has not tested or validated the D6000 with any third-party racks. Before installing the D6000 in a

third-party rack, be sure to properly scope the limitations of the rack.

Site planning considerations

Customer facility managers and system administrators must discuss site planning, preparation, and system

installation before system delivery. A common understanding of environmental requirements and how the

systems will be delivered, configured, installed, and maintained helps to create a suitable data center and

aids the successful installation of the servers and related equipment.

It is important to plan the facility as a whole, not design based on calculations of individual system or rack

level requirements. Too many interdependencies in a modern data center make such simple calculations

unreliable. Designs and plans must be made for the data center as a whole, including all of its equipment,

with the realization that making one change in the data center environment can affect many other physical,

mechanical, and environmental aspects of the facility.

Take into account the requirements of third-party equipment and support equipment in the room. Dense

computing locations might have high power and cooling demands that could affect power and

environmental constraints. Be aware of rack positioning and airflow patterns. Ensure that the raised floor

space, cooling equipment, power supply equipment and generators, and other support equipment meet the

demands of all the servers and other mission-critical equipment.

Installing the enclosure

WARNING: The D6000 with no drives installed weighs 72.58 kg (160.00 lb). With all drives

and components installed, the enclosure can weigh up to 145.15 kg (320 lb). Before configuring

your rack solution, be sure to check the manufacturer weight limits and specifications. Failure to

do so can result in physical injury or damage to the equipment and the facility.
