•
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.
•
Do not use common power outlet strips for this equipment.
•
Provide a separate electrical circuit for the server.
For more information on the hot-plug power supply and calculators to determine server power
consumption in various system configurations, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Power Advisor
website.
Electrical grounding requirements
The server 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 multiple servers connected to the same
power source, Hewlett Packard Enterprise 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 for the server is not recommended.
Installing the server
The server is installed in the chassis. If the chassis is not already installed in a rack, install the chassis in
a rack.
For more information, see the HPE Apollo 4510 Gen10 chassis Setup and Installation Guide and the HPE
Apollo 4500 4U Rail Installation Instructions that ship with the rack hardware kit.
Install a server
CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the chassis unless all
bays are populated with a component or a blank.
Procedure
1. Prepare the server for installation.
