Leave a minimum clearance of 121.9 cm (48 in) from the back of the rack to the back of another rack or row of racks. Inspur 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 33 Setup adequate airflow (equivalent to the required 64 percent open area for ventilation). • Side—The clearance between the installed rack component and the side panels of the rack must be a minimum of 7 cm (2.75 in). 5.1.2 Temperature Requirements To ensure continued safe and reliable equipment operation, install or position the system in a well-ventilated, climate-controlled environment.
Page 34: Rack Warnings
Because of the high ground-leakage currents associated with multiple servers connected to the same power source, Inspur 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.

Page 37 Setup Load the operating system into a USB disk, boot the server through the USB disk to install the OS. This process may require you to obtain additional drivers from the Inspur website (http://www.inspur.com/eportal/ui?pageId=2317460).
Page 38: Hardware Options Installation
6 Hardware Options Installation 6.1 Introduction If more than one option is being installed, read the installation instructions for all the hardware options and identify similar steps to streamline the installation process. WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the internal system components to cool before touching them.
Page 39 Hardware Options Installation Step 1: Align the Clip’s triangle mark with the CPU’s corner mark, and then assemble the Clip and CPU together. Figure 6-1 Step 2: Align the heatsink position marked by “1” with the Clip’s triangle mark, vertically align the mounting holes on the heatsink with those on the Clip, and assemble the heatsink and Clip together.
Page 40: Memory Option
Figure 6-3 Notes: ● It is required to coat thermal grease evenly onto the contact position between CPU heatsink and CPU. ● During fixing CPU heatsink, it is required to fasten bolts according to the sequence accordingly. 6.3 Memory Option IMPORTANT: RDIMMs and LRDIMMs can not be mixed.
