Electrical / Electromagnetic Interference Generators of electromagnetic interference may adversely affect server operation. The following sources of electrical and / or electromagnetic interference must not be located in the immediate vicinity of the Data Processing Center: • high-voltage lines, • radars, •...
Extinguishing Agents In compliance with APSAD R13. Commonly used extinguishing agents are: • inert gases such as ARGONITE (Argon-based) and INERGEN, • water in the form of sprinklers or sprays (pending certification). CAUTION: It is strongly recommended not to use CO gas (hazard to personnel and to equipment). The use of HALON 1301 gas is prohibited as from January 1 2003.
CAUTION: A raised floor compliant with Standard NF P67 103-1 and 103-2, dated April 1993 is mandatory for the Bull NovaScale Servers. A raised floor allows even distribution of the overall system load and provides a plenum space for cabling and air-conditioning.
Actuators and T–beam section spars Actuators alone Figure 9. Raised floor structure CAUTION: If the air-conditioning unit(s) is (are) placed on brackets in the room, it is mandatory to electrically isolate these brackets from the raised floor slabs, crossbeams, and actuators. Computer Room Ceiling It is extremely important to have sufficient ceiling height so that the premises may be air- conditioned without creating draughts.
• sound-proof walls and partitions. Protection from Sunlight Large glass surfaces must be protected from sunlight. In no event may the Bull NovaScale Server be exposed to direct sunlight. External protections only may be used (coating, canvas curtains or shutter blinds).
Media Storage Room Media may be stored in the Computer Room or in an adjacent room, in which case Computer Room environmental conditions are applicable. The Media Storage Room floor must be designed to support loads of up to 10 kN/m . Media is sensitive to high-power electromagnetic fields.
• Checks and Alarms, see page 3-5 CAUTION: An air-conditioning system, compliant with the requirements of NF X44-101, Class 4 000 000, dated June 1981 and with ISO 7730, is mandatory for the Bull NovaScale Server. Air-Conditioning System Features and Functions...
Distribution Bull NovaScale Servers release high levels of heat and require the installation of a high airflow air-conditioning system. Delivery of air through the raised floor plenum is the most appropriate solution. The air-conditioning specialist must define the number and location of the perforated and / or damper slabs required for correct air distribution.
Circulation The servers are cooled by taking air from inside the room. The following requirements are to be complied with for correct air circulation of air: • raised floor height: > 30 cm, • the raised floor plenum must not be obstructed by oversize pipes or cableways, •...

Pollutants There are three types of pollutants: • liquids, • solid particles, • gases. Damage varies according to pollutant type and interaction: corrosion, erosion, mildew, oxidation, etc. Solid particles are abrasive, electrostatic, and absorbent. They generally originate from: • surface crumbling of construction materials used to fit out the Data Processing Center, •...
Checks and Alarms The air-conditioning system is controlled automatically. Variations outside the specified temperature and hygrometry ranges must be transmitted to Customer Service Engineers. Detectors must be installed at the air-conditioning cabinet air inlet and / or in the Computer Room.
Chapter 4. Power Supply This chapter explains power supply requirements for Bull NovaScale Servers. It includes the following topics: • Power Supply, on page 4-1 • Cabling Requirements, on page 4-2 • Grounding Circuit, on page 4-5 • Neutral Power System, on page 4-6 •...
DANGER • To ensure the protection of personnel and equipment, bipolar magneto-thermic circuit breakers must be installed on the phase and neutral wires, in compliance with the safety standards in force. • Power must be exclusively conveyed by copper conductors from the source. Aluminium conductors are prohibited.
Mounting Power Supply Cable Sockets CAUTION: To be performed by a certified electrician only. Tools Required • Multimeter • Phillips screwdriver • Velcro fasteners Europe, Brazil PDU/UPS power cables are equipped with ready-mounted IEC60309 plugs. The Customer is responsible for supplying and installing appropriate sockets for connection to the site power supply.
For PDU/UPS equipped with IEC 60309 plugs. 1. Check that the power supply cable is not live with the multimeter. 2. Carefully guide the power supply cable through the cable inlet at the base of the cabinet. 3. Check that the power supply cable is long enough. 4.
Grounding Circuit The electronic components inside the servers are sensitive to high-frequency electromagnetic interference. To ensure correct hardware operation, high-frequency interference must be limited via an equipotential ground circuit and metallic braid shielded cables. DANGER For the protection of personnel and hardware, it is mandatory for the grounding network to be compliant with Data Processing Center requirements and the standards in force.
Figure 15. Raised floor equipotentiality method Neutral Power System A TN-S neutral point connection system is mandatory for the servers. Constructing a TN-S Neutral Point Connection System The servers are equipped with a high-leakage current switch-mode power supply. The protective conductor (PE) is connected to the neutral conductor at the origin of the installation.
