  • Page 49: Optimum Environment

    Leave a minimum clearance of 122 cm (48 in) from the back of the rack to the back of another rack when racks are back-to-back. 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 ventilated to allow the warm air to escape from the cabinet.

  • Page 50: Temperature Requirements

    HP ProLiant DL580 Generation 3 Server User Guide CAUTION: Always use blanking panels to fill empty 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.

  • Page 51: Power Requirements

    Server setup Power requirements 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 52: Electrical Grounding Requirements

    Because of the high ground-leakage currents associated 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 cord that is wired to an industrial-style plug.
  • Page 53 Server setup • At least two people are needed to safely unload 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.

  • Page 54: Identifying Rack Server Shipping Carton Contents

    HP ProLiant DL580 Generation 3 Server User Guide CAUTION: Do not operate the server for long periods with the access panel open or removed. Operating the server in this manner results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.

    HP ProLiant DL580 Generation 3 Server User Guide For an overview of single- and dual-rank DIMMs, refer to "Single- and Dual- Rank DIMMs." For DIMM slot locations and bank assignments, refer to "DIMM Slot Locations (on page 25)." General memory configuration requirements The following configuration requirements apply regardless of the AMP mode.

  • Page 97: Single- And Dual-Rank Dimms

    Memory options • The server can be configured for any AMP mode in RBSU. RBSU displays a warning message if the selected AMP mode is not supported by the current DIMM configuration. However, if the DIMM configuration at POST does not match the AMP mode selected in RBSU, the server defaults to Advanced ECC ("Advanced ECC memory"...
  • Page 98 HP ProLiant DL580 Generation 3 Server User Guide Advanced ECC provides additional protection over Standard ECC in that it is possible to correct certain memory errors that would otherwise be uncorrectable and result in a server failure. Whereas Standard ECC can correct single-bit memory errors, Advanced ECC can correct single-bit memory errors and multi- bit memory errors if all failed bits are on the same DRAM device on the DIMM.
