Setup 27 
Optimum environment 
When installing the server, select a location that  meets the environmental standards described in this 
section. 
 
Space and airflow requirements 
To allow for servicing and adequate airflow, observe  the following space and airflow requirements when 
deciding where to install a rack: 
•  Leave a minimum clearance of 63.5 cm (25 in) in front of the rack. 
• Leave a minimum clearance of 76.2 cm (30 in) behind the rack. 
• Leave a minimum clearance of 121.9 cm (48 in) from  the back of the rack to the back of another 
rack or row of racks. 
HP servers draw in cool air through the front door  and expel warm air through the rear door. Therefore, 
the front and rear rack doors must be adequately  ventilated to allow ambient room air to enter the 
cabinet, and the rear door must be adequately vent ilated to allow the warm air to escape from the 
cabinet. 
  
  CAUTION:
  To prevent improper cooling and damage to the equipment, do not block the 
ventilation openings. 
  
When vertical space in the rack is not filled by  a server or rack component, the gaps between the 
components cause changes in airflow through the ra ck and across the servers. Cover all gaps with 
blanking panels to maintain proper airflow. 
  
  CAUTION:
  Always use blanking panels to fill em pty vertical spaces in the rack. This 
arrangement ensures proper airflow. Using a rack  without blanking panels results in improper 
cooling that can lead to thermal damage. 
  
The 9000 and 10000 Series Racks provide proper server cooling from flow-through perforations in the 
front and rear doors that provide 64 percent open area for ventilation.  
  
  CAUTION:
  When using a Compaq branded 7000 Seri es rack, you must install the high 
airflow rack door insert [P/N 327281-B21 (42U) or P/N 157847-B21 (22U)] to provide 
proper front-to-back airflow and cooling. 
  
  
  CAUTION:
  If a third-party rack is used, observe th e following additional requirements to ensure 
adequate airflow and to prevent damage to the equipment: 
•   Front and rear doors—If the 42U rack includes  closing front and rear doors, you must allow 
5,350 sq cm (830 sq in) of holes evenly distri buted from top to bottom to permit adequate 
airflow (equivalent to the required 64  percent open area for ventilation). 
•   Side—The clearance between the installed rack  component and the side panels of the rack 
must be a minimum of 7 cm (2.75 in). 
  
 
Temperature requirements 
To ensure continued safe and reliable equipment oper ation, install or position the system in a well-
ventilated, climate-controlled environment.  
						

							
 
Setup 28 
The maximum recommended ambient operating temperat ure (TMRA) for most server products is 35°C 
(95°F). The temperature in the room where the rack is located must not exceed 35°C (95°F). 
  
  CAUTION:
  To reduce the risk of damage to the equi pment when installing third-party options: 
•   Do not permit optional equipment to impede ai rflow around the server or to increase the 
internal rack temperature beyond  the maximum allowable limits. 
•   Do not exceed the manufacturer’s TMRA. 
  
 
Power requirements 
Installation of this equipment must comply with lo cal and regional electrical regulations governing the 
installation of information technology equipment by li censed electricians. This equipment is designed to 
operate in installations covered by NFPA 70, 1999 Ed ition (National Electric Code) and NFPA-75, 1992 
(code for Protection of Electronic Computer/Data Proc essing Equipment). For electrical power ratings on 
options, refer to the product rating label or th e user documentation supplied with that option. 
  
 WARNING:
  To reduce the risk of personal injury , fire, or damage to the equipment, do not 
overload the AC supply branch circuit that provid es power to the rack. Consult the electrical 
authority having jurisdiction over wiring and  installation requirements of your facility. 
  
  
 CAUTION:
  Protect the server from power fluctuat ions and temporary interruptions with a 
regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS). Th is device protects the hardware from damage 
caused by power surges and voltage spikes and  keeps the system in operation during a power 
failure. 
  
When installing more than one server, you may need  to use additional power distribution devices to 
safely provide power to all devices. Observe the following guidelines: 
•  Balance the server power load between  available AC supply branch circuits. 
• Do not allow the overall system AC current load  to exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit AC 
current rating. 
•  Do not use common power outlet  strips for this equipment. 
• Provide a separate electrical circuit for the server.  
Electrical grounding requirements 
The server must be grounded properly for proper operation and safety. In the United States, you must 
install the equipment in accordance with NFPA 70,  1999 Edition (National Electric Code), Article 250, 
as well as any local and regional  building codes. In Canada, you must install the equipment in 
accordance with Canadian Standards Association, CS A C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code. In all other 
countries, you must install the equipment in accordance  with any regional or national electrical wiring 
codes, such as the International Electrotechnical  Commission (IEC) Code 364, parts 1 through 7. 
Furthermore, you must be sure that all power distributi on devices used in the installation, such as branch 
wiring and receptacles, are listed or  certified grounding-type devices. 
Because of the high ground-leakage currents associ ated with multiple servers connected to the same 
power source, HP recommends the use of a PDU that is  either permanently wired to the building’s branch 
circuit or includes a nondetachable co rd that is wired to an industrial-style plug. NEMA locking-style plugs 
or those complying with IEC 60309 are considered su itable for this purpose. Using common power outlet 
strips for the server is not recommended.

•   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 inju ry or equipment damage when unloading a 
rack: 
•   At least two people are needed to safely un load 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 
may 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.
