Configuration Factors
•
Monitor—The monitor requires installation of a Monitor/Utility Shelf Rack
Option Kit unless you are using a rack-mountable flat panel monitor.
•
Server Console Switch—If a switch box is configured, use the CPU-to-Switch
cable included with the server. The standard distance between the switch box and
the keyboard, monitor, and/or mouse can vary by 3-, 7-, 12-, 20- and 40-foot
(91.44-, 213.36-, 365.76-, 609.6-, and 1219.2-cm) lengths. Optional Plenum-
rated KVM cables are available in 20- and 40-foot (609.6- and 1219.2-cm)
lengths.
NOTE: National Electrical Regulations governing the installation of building wiring require
that an appropriate cable, meeting fire-safety standards, be used any time cabling is
routed:
•
Through an overhead drop-ceiling
•
Under a computer room's raised flooring
•
From room to room
•
From floor to floor
Be sure that the cable jacket or sleeving is made of material that does not burn easily and
does not exude toxic fumes when exposed to heat. Be sure that the cable you have
selected is appropriate for your installation site. If you require U.S. plenum-rated (CL2P)
cable, please contact your local HP authorized reseller to obtain the following options:
•
149363-B21—20-foot (609.6-cm) plenum cable
•
149364-B21—40-foot (1219.2-cm) plenum cable
•
Rack Option Baying Kit—The number of baying kits needed to join a series of
racks is one less than the number of racks in the suite.
•
Rack Option Offset Baying Kit—This kit joins multiple racks of different
series with the same height but different depths.
•
Sidewall Panels—Only one set of sidewall panels is required for each row of
bayed racks.
•
Stabilizing Feet—A stand-alone rack requires stabilizing feet.
