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, observ e the following additional requirements to 
ensure adequate airflow and to prevent damage to the equipment: 
•   Front and rear doors—If the 42U rack includ es closing front and rear doors, you must 
allow 5,350 sq cm (830 sq in) of holes evenly distributed 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 23 
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).  This 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.  
Rack warnings and cautions   
  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 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  
						

							
 
Setup 24 
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. 
  
 
  
  WARNING:
  When installing a server in a telco  rack, be sure that the rack frame is 
adequately secured to the top and bo ttom of the building structure. 
  
 
  
 WARNING:
  This server is very heavy.  To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the 
equipment: 
•   Observe local occupational health and safety  requirements and guidelines for manual 
material handling. 
•   Get help to lift and stabilize the product during  installation or removal, especially when the 
product is not fastened to the rails. When the  server weighs more than 22.5 kg (50 lb), at 
least two people must lift the server into the  rack together. A third person may be required 
to help align the server if the server is installed higher than chest level. 
•   Use caution when installing the server in or removing the server from the rack; it is 
unstable when not fastened to the rails. 
  
 
  
  WARNING:
  To reduce the risk of personal injury  from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the 
internal system components to  cool before touching them. 
  
  
 WARNING:
  To reduce the risk of personal injury, electric shock, or damage to the 
equipment, remove the power cord to remove power from the server. The front panel Power 
On/Standby button does not completely shut of f system power. Portions of the power supply 
and some internal circuitry remain  active until AC power is removed. 
  
  
 CAUTION:
  Protect the server from power fluctuat ions and temporary interruptions with a 
regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS).  This device protects the hardware from 
damage caused by power surges and voltage spikes and keeps the system in operation 
during a power failure. 
  
  
  CAUTION:
  Do not operate the server for long periods with the access panel open or 
removed. Operating the server in this manne r results in improper airflow and improper 
cooling that can lead to thermal damage. 
  
 
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
