Page 7: Space And Airflow Requirements
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 8: Temperature Requirements
CAUTION: If a third-party rack is used, observe the following additional requirements to ensure adequate airflow and to prevent damage to the equipment: Front and rear doors—If the 42U rack includes closing front and rear doors, you must allow • 5,350 sq cm (830 sq in) of holes evenly distributed from top to bottom to permit adequate airflow (equivalent to the required 64 percent open area for ventilation). -

Page 30: Example Configurations
Configuration examples can be calculated using the HP Power Advisor Tool (http://www.hp.com/go/hppoweradvisor). This tool is designed for facilities planning purposes only. Values obtained from the tool are based on worst case loads. Whenever possible, HP recommends using actual measurements in configuration planning. Measurements must be made with the intended configuration, application loading, and ambient environment. -

Page 33: Configuring The System
Configuring the system Power capping The HP ProLiant XL family of products provides a power capping feature that operates at the server enclosure level. The capping feature can be activated with PPIC.EXE, a stand-alone utility that runs in the environment of one of the resident servers in the chassis to be power capped. - Page 34 (http://www.hp.com/support/PPIC_UG_en). • HP Advanced Power Manager HP APM is a rack level device that can control power caps for all enclosures in the rack. For more information, see the HP Advanced Power Manager User Guide on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support/APM_UG_en).
