Power requirements
Installation of this equipment must comply with local and regional electrical regulations governing the
installation of IT equipment by licensed electricians. This equipment is designed to operate in installations

Planning the installation 6
covered by NFPA 70, 1999 Edition (National Electric Code) and NFPA-75, 1992 (code for Protection of
Electronic Computer/Data Processing Equipment). For electrical power ratings on options, refer to the
product rating label or the 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 provides power to the rack. Consult the electrical
authority having jurisdiction over wiring and installation requirements of your facility.
CAUTION: Protect the chassis from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a
regulating UPS. This device protects the hardware from damage caused by power surges and
voltage spikes and keeps the chassis in operation during a power failure.

Warnings and cautions
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to equipment, heed all warnings
and cautions throughout the installation instructions.

Planning the installation 7
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure that:
•The rack is bolted to the floor using the concrete anchor kit.
•The leveling feet extend to the floor.
•The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling feet.
•The racks are coupled together in multiple rack installations.
•Only one component is extended at a time. If more than one component is extended, a rack
might become unstable.
WARNING: The chassis is very heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the
equipment, do the following:
•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. The chassis weighs more than 81.65 kg (180.00 lb), so at
least four people must lift the chassis into the rack together. An additional person may be
required to help align the chassis if the chassis is installed higher than chest level.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, you must
adequately support the chassis during installation and removal.
WARNING: Be sure to install the chassis starting from the bottom of the rack, and then work your
way up the rack.
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 electric shock or damage to the equipment:
•Never reach inside the chassis while the system is powered up.
•Perform service on system components only as instructed in the user documentation.
CAUTION: Always be sure that equipment is properly grounded and that you follow proper
grounding procedures before beginning any installation procedure. Improper grounding can
result in ESD damage to electronic components. For more information, refer to "Electrostatic
discharge (on page 49)."
CAUTION: When performing non-hot-plug operations, you must power down the chassis and/or
the system. However, it may be necessary to leave the chassis powered up when performing other
operations, such as hot-plug installations or troubleshooting.
Space and airflow requirements
To enable servicing and ensure adequate airflow, observe the following spatial requirements when deciding
where to install a rack:
•Leave a minimum clearance of 121.9 cm (48.0 in) in front of the rack.
•Leave a minimum clearance of 76.2 cm (30.0 in) in back of the rack.
•Leave a minimum clearance of 121.9 cm (48.0 in) from the back of the rack to the rear of another rack
or row of racks.

Planning the installation 8
HP rack products draw cool air in through the front and expel warm air through the rear of the enclosure.
Therefore, the front of the rack enclosure must be adequately ventilated to enable ambient room air to enter
the enclosure, and the rear of the enclosure must be adequately ventilated to enable the warm air to escape
from the enclosure.
IMPORTANT: Do not block the ventilation openings.
If the front of the rack is not completely filled with components, the remaining gaps between the components
can cause changes in the airflow, which can adversely affect cooling within the rack. Cover these gaps with
blanking panels.
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.
Racks provide proper server cooling from flow-through perforations in the front and rear doors that provide
a 65% open area for ventilation.
Temperature requirements
To ensure continued safe and reliable equipment operation, install or position the rack in a well-ventilated,
climate-controlled environment.
The operating temperature inside the rack is always higher than the room temperature and is dependent on
the configuration of equipment in the rack. Check the TMRA for each piece of equipment before installation.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to the equipment when installing third-party options:
•Do not permit optional equipment to impede airflow around the chassis or to increase the
internal rack temperature beyond the maximum allowable limits.
•Do not exceed the manufacturer’s TMRA.
Grounding requirements
This equipment 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, CSA
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 distribution 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 associated with this equipment, 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. NEMA locking-style plugs or those complying with IEC 60309 are
considered suitable for this purpose. Using common power outlet strips to supply power to this equipment is
not recommended.
