  • 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

    When installing more than one server, you might have to use additional power distribution devices to safely provide power to all devices. Observe the following guidelines: • Balance the server power load between available AC supply branch circuits. • Do not allow the overall system AC current load to exceed 80% of the branch circuit AC current rating.
