A summary of the content of each resource follows: • Rack Builder Pro Configuration Tool This information enables you to simulate potential rack configurations based on your input.
Page 37: Optimum Environment
The resource information on this CD enables you to view, search, and print documentation for Compaq branded racks and rack options. It also helps you set up and optimize a new rack in a manner that best fits the environment.
Page 38: Space And Airflow Requirements
Rack Server To allow for servicing and adequate airflow, observe the following spatial requirements when deciding where to install a Compaq branded, Telco, or third-party rack: • Leave a minimum clearance of 63.5 cm (25 inches) in front of the rack.
Page 39: Power Requirements
Planning the Server Installation The 9000 Series racks provide server cooling from flow-through perforations ensuring 64 percent open area for ventilation. For guidelines on meeting airflow requirements for 7000 Series and third-party racks, refer to the documentation provided with the rack. CAUTION: When using a 7000 Series rack, you must install the high airflow rack door insert [P/N 327281-B21 (42U) and P/N 157847-B21 (22U)] to provide proper front-to-back airflow and cooling to prevent damage to the equipment.
Page 40: Electrical Grounding Requirements
Planning the Server Installation Installation of this equipment must comply with local and regional electrical regulations governing the installation of information technology equipment by licensed electricians. This equipment is designed to operate in installations covered by NFPA 70, 1999 Edition (National Electric Code) and NFPA-75, 1992 (code for Protection of Electronic Computer/Data Processing Equipment).
Page 41: Temperature Requirements
Planning the Server Installation Because of the high ground-leakage currents associated with multiple servers connected to the same power source, HP recommends the use of a power distribution unit (PDU) that is either permanently wired to the building’s branch circuit or includes a nondetachable cord that is wired to an industrial-style plug.
Page 42 Planning the Server Installation WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage, at least two people are needed to safely unload a rack from the pallet. An empty 42U rack can weigh as much as 115 kg (253 lb), is over 2.1 m (7 feet) tall, and may become unstable when being moved on its casters.
Page 43: Rack Server Shipping Contents
Planning the Server Installation WARNING: Pressing the server Power On/Standby button to power down the server removes power from most areas of the server. This process may take 30 seconds. Portions of the power supply and some internal circuitry remain active until the AC power cord is disconnected.
