    (http://www.hp.com/hps/carepack/servers/cp_proliant.html). Rack planning resources The rack resource kit ships with all HP branded or Compaq branded 9000, 10000, and H9 series racks. For more information on the content of each resource, refer to the rack resource kit documentation. If you intend to deploy and configure multiple servers in a single rack, refer to the white paper on high- density deployment at the HP website (http://www.hp.com/products/servers/platforms).
  • Page 10: Space And Airflow Requirements

    Leave a minimum clearance of 4.4 cm (1.75 in) from the top of the side panel. 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 11: Temperature Requirements

    Temperature requirements To ensure continued safe and reliable equipment operation, install or position the system in a well- ventilated, climate-controlled environment. The maximum recommended ambient operating temperature (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 equipment when installing third-party options: Do not permit optional equipment to impede airflow around the server or to increase the...
  • Page 12: Rack Warnings

    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. NEMA locking-style plugs or those complying with IEC 60309 are considered suitable for this purpose.
