Space and Airflow Requirements To allow for servicing and adequate airflow, observe the following spatial requirements when deciding where to install an HP, Compaq, Telco, or third-party rack: • Leave a minimum clearance of 63.5 cm (25 inches) in front of the rack.
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com HP servers draw in cool air through the rack front door and expel warm air through the rack rear door. Therefore, the front and rear rack doors must be adequately ventilated to allow ambient room air to enter the cabinet and warm air to escape from the rear of the cabinet.
Because of the high ground leakage currents associated with multiple servers connected to the same power source, HP recommends the use of a power distribution unit (PDU) that is either permanently wired to the building’s branch circuit or includes a non-detachable cord that is wired to an industrial-style plug.
CAUTION: Do not operate the server for long periods without the access panel. Operating the server without the access panel results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage. HP ProLiant DL140 Server Setup and Installation Guide...
