  • Page 9: Rack Assembly And Cabling Cautions And Warnings

    Chapter 1 Preparation for Cabling the HP NetServer LXr8500 If you install several HP NetServers on one circuit, however, precautions are necessary. For instance, if there is a power failure and power is then restored all the servers immediately begin to draw inrush current at the same time. If the circuit breakers on the incoming power line have insufficient capability, they may trip and thus prevent the servers from powering up.

  • Page 10: Prevent Electrical Shock

    Chapter 1 Preparation for Cabling the HP NetServer LXr8500 Prevent Electrical Shock WARNING Ensure site electrical circuits have reliable earth grounding. Never operate products in any rack enclosure with the ground connector disconnected. Although leakage current from any one device may be minimal, cumulative leakage current of equipment mounted in a rack may exceed 5mA, and could reach 15mA.
