Verify environmental requirements

The environmental and electrical requirements for the physical site must be met to ensure that your system works reliably.

Before you install a system, you must verify that adequate space in a suitable rack is available. You must also ensure that the requirements for power and environmental conditions are met.

The installation topics assume that you have completed the physical planning for the environment of your system. If you have not done the environmental planning for your system, see the Physical configuration planning of the system topic.

If your system contains more than one control enclosure, configure a Fibre Channel switch for correct zoning between control enclosures for best results. See the configuring topics in IBM Knowledge Center that contain information about zoning rules and zoning details.
