  • Page 27: Temperature Requirements

    Hewlett Packard Enterprise 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 28: Electrical Grounding Requirements

    CAUTION: Protect the server from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a regulating uninterruptible power supply. This device protects the hardware from damage caused by power surges and voltage spikes and keeps the system in operation during a power failure. When installing more than one server, you might need to use additional power distribution devices to safely provide power to all devices.

  • Page 29: Rack Warnings

    CAUTION: Protect the server from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a regulating uninterruptible power supply.
