ActiveScale™ P100 Installation Guide Pre-installation site requirements
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 PSUs
installed in the system servers, mounting a PDU or other equipment in this space may affect the
serviceability of that PSU.
10
ActiveScale™ P100 Installation Guide Pre-installation site requirements
The ActiveScale P100 is designed to be delivered on multiple pallets and installed on site. Because of this,
it is important to be sure that enough space is available for the individuals that will build the system to
work. This section describes the space required during this build process.

Use the table above to come up with a plan to address how the system must be installed. The following is a
list of things to take into consideration to be successful during this process:
• Is there enough space to unpack all of the components of a single pallet or all pallets and store them
before installing them in the customer rack? If not, think about what the sequence of unpack and
installation that is required with the space given.
• While installing system components, there needs to be a minimum of 1220mm of space at the front of
the rack to allow for the space needed for the largest system component to be installed by two people.
11
ActiveScale™ P100 Installation Guide Pre-installation site requirements
If this room is not available in the location that the unit will operate, consider building the system
outside its operational location and moving it into location when finished.
• If the system will be moved after the system components are installed in the customer rack, be sure to
measure the size of the customer rack and check the walking path to make sure that the system will fit
as it moves through the deployment site.
Note: Before moving the system, verify that the rack can support the dynamic
load of the system weight during movement. For details, see Rack requirements
on page 12.
The following is considered best practice when choosing a rack mounting solution for the ActiveScale
P100:
• System dimension—Select a rack mounting solution that has the appropriate depth to accommodate
the 1U and 3U rail kits and the dimensions of the system components, including any rack-mounted
PDUs.
• System weight—Select a rack mounting solution that supports the static weight loads of a base
system, dynamic weight loads if the system needs to be moved, and the additional weight loads that
might be added later if the system is scaled up (in other words, the weight loads of additional Storage
Nodes). For details, see Dimensions and weights that affect rack selection on page 12.
• Mounting kits (rails) —Select a rack mounting solution that supports the properties of the 1U and 3U
mounting rail kits. For details, see Identifying the mounting kits on page 21.
• Cable management—The system is designed such that all of the cables are wired at the back of the
system. Be sure that the system cabling can be routed safely and efficiently through the selected route.
• Grounding—Ensure that the electrical components used to power the system can be grounded safely
and that the rack itself can also be grounded safely.
Use the following table to make determinations about your rack mounting solution:
Table 2-3. Dimensions and weights that affect rack selection
Component Dimensions Individual weight Total weight
System • W—17.3 in (438 mm) 20 lbs (9 kg) 40 lbs (18 kg)
Interconnect • D—17 in (431 mm)
• H—1U
System Node • W—17.2 in (437 mm) 27 lbs (12.2 kg) 81 lbs (36.6 kg)
• D—24 in (610 mm)

Note: When using single phase PDUs to supply power to the system, the site
mains power must contain a breaker that is rated to support the system
configuration that is being powered. If the mains breaker cannot support single
phase power distribution, special considerations must be made to support the
electrical load of the system

3 System unpacking
This section provides descriptions of what to look for when inspecting the packaging during the unpacking
process.
Topics:
• Damaged packaging on page 16
• Unpacking process on page 16
This section provides an unpacking process that is sufficient to ensure that the system is unpacked
effectively and safely.
However, because the requirements of every data center or customer installation site will vary, it may be
advantageous to unpack and install the system in a slightly different sequence. If so, be sure that the
installation team has thoroughly reviewed and understands the information provided in this section and
follows all of safety and inspection steps.
Additionally, the unpacking process involves alternating unpacking and inspecting the packaging and
system components as they are unpacked. This sequence is designed to catch problems that could have
occurred during the packaging and shipping process to insure the system has arrived without damage. Pay
close attention to this sequence in order to find any problems.
16
ActiveScale™ P100 Installation Guide System unpacking
1. Remove the overwrap to reveal the eight boxes containing the accessories and Storage Nodes.
2. Unpack the Storage Nodes one at a time and inspect them for damage.
a. Remove the AC cables and 1U rails.
b. Remove the upper foam to reveal the Storage Node.
c. Remove the Storage Node from the box making sure to support it from all sides to prevent
excessive torsion or bending.
Note: The Storage Node weighs more than 87 lbs (39.46 kg) and requires two
people to lift it.
1. Remove the overwrap to reveal the boxes containing the System Nodes, and System Interconnects.
2. Unpack the box that contains both System Interconnects. Remove them one at a time and inspect them

ActiveScale™ P100 Installation Guide System hardware installation
The System Interconnect mounting kits have a stability bracket as shown in the following image.
Figure 4-2. System Interconnect 3U stability bracket (stability bracket noted in blue)
This bracket has a set of slots at the end as shown in the following image. These slots are designed to
receive a set of tabs that protrude from the back of the System Interconnect. This prevents the System
Interconnects from tilting or shifting during operation and maintenance. During the installation process, it
is important to fit the System Interconnects such that the tabs at the end are inserted in the slots at the end
of the bracket.
Each 3U mounting kit also comes with a set of washer plates that are used to secure the mounting brackets
to the rack posts. These washer plates come in two varieties: with standoffs or flush. The difference is
shown in the following image. The front view bracket uses 3 standoffs, the rear view bracket is flush.
Each 3U mounting kit also comes with a set of washer plates that are used to secure the mounting brackets
to the rack posts. These washer plates come in two varieties: with standoffs or flush. Standoff washer plates
are installed in the front of the rack. Flush washer plates are installed in the rear of the rack.
The following image shows both washer types and their general placement in the rack. The standoff
washer plate appears on the left. The flush washer plate appears on the right. Note that the chamfered holes
face outwards so the mounting screws will sit flush.

26
ActiveScale™ P100 Installation Guide System hardware installation
Note: Be cautious leaving the outer rails extending out of the rack. Consider
pushing the outer rails back into the rack until step 3 below.
27
ActiveScale™ P100 Installation Guide System hardware installation
b. Secure the inner rail to the System Node using one of the screws.
c. Repeat steps a - b on the other side of the System Node using the other inner rail.
4. Re-extend the outer rails from the rack.
5. Align the rails on the System Node to the rails attached to the rack and push the System Node into the
rack. On the sides of the rail, pull the blue tabs forward to allow the inner rail to slide all the way in.
Important: The System Node can be heavy, take precautions when lifting.
6. With the System Node inserted fully into the rack, screw the thumb screws on the front of the system
into the System Node.
7. Repeat the unpacking and installation steps for each of the other five System Nodes.
Caution: If performing this task alone is too difficult or unsafe because of the
circumstances of the build, get another person to assist with the installation by
supporting the 3U mounting kit at the rear of the rack while it is being secured to
the front. This will prevent it from falling while it is being installed.
5. From the front of the rack, lead the pegged end of the mounting bracket into the rack, sliding the pegs
into the mounting holes on the posts at the rear of the rack. This will provide the necessary support to
be able to hold the bracket with one hand while the other hand is used to install the washer plates and
screws on the front of the rack.
Note: Make sure that the mounting bracket is attached to the correct side of the
rack. The support flanges that the components will lie on should be facing toward
