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. Hewlett Packard Enterprise 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.
Temperature requirements Temperature requirements To ensure continued safe and reliable equipment operation, install or position the system in a well-ventilated, climate-controlled environment. The maximum recommended ambient operating temperature (TMRA) for most server products is 35°C (95°F). The temperature in the room where the rack is located must not exceed 35°C (95°F).
Power requirements Power requirements Installation of this equipment must comply with local and regional electrical regulations governing the installation of information technology equipment by licensed electricians. This equipment is designed to operate in installations covered by NFPA 70, 1999 Edition (National Electric Code) and NFPA-75, 1992 (code for Protection of Electronic Computer/Data Processing Equipment). For electrical power ratings on options, refer to the product rating label or the user documentation supplied with that option.
Electrical grounding requirements 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, 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.
Rack warnings and cautions Rack warnings and cautions WARNING: WARNING: When all components are removed, the server weighs 12.57 kg (27.71 lb). When all components are installed, the server can weigh up to 26.28 kg (57.94 lb). Before configuring your rack solution, be sure to check the rack manufacturer weight limits and specifications.

CAUTION: CAUTION: To avoid data loss, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that you back up all server data before installing or removing a hardware option, or performing a server maintenance or troubleshooting procedure. CAUTION: Do not operate the server for long periods with the access panel open or removed. Operating the server in CAUTION: this manner results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.
Electrostatic discharge Electrostatic discharge Be aware of the precautions you must follow when setting up the system or handling components. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the system or component.
