Power Requirements; Electrical Grounding Requirements; Server Warnings And Cautions - HPE ProLiant DL180 Gen10 User Manual

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.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not overload the AC supply
branch circuit that provides power to the rack. Consult the electrical authority having jurisdiction over wiring and
installation requirements of your facility.
CAUTION: Protect the server from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a regulating
uninterruptible power supply. This device protects the hardware from damage caused by power surges and voltage
spikes and keeps the system in operation during a power failure.

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, 1999 Edition (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. In all other countries, you must install the equipment in accordance with any
regional or national electrical wiring codes, such as the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Code 364, parts 1
through 7. Furthermore, you must be sure that all power distribution devices used in the installation, such as branch
wiring and receptacles, are listed or certified grounding-type devices.
Because of the high ground-leakage currents associated with multiple servers connected to the same power source,
Hewlett Packard Enterprise 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. NEMA locking-style plugs or those complying
with IEC 60309 are considered suitable for this purpose. Using common power outlet strips for the server is not
recommended.

Server warnings and cautions

WARNING: This server is heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment:
• Observe local occupational health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual material handling.
• Get help to lift and stabilize the product during installation or removal, especially when the product is not
fastened to the rails. Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that a minimum of two people are required for all
rack server installations. If the server is installed higher than chest level, a third person may be required to help
align the server.
• Use caution when installing the server in or removing the server from the rack; it is unstable when not fastened
to the rails.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the internal system
components to cool before touching them.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, electric shock, or damage to the equipment, remove the power
cord to remove power from the server. The front panel Power On/Standby button does not completely shut off
system power. Portions of the power supply and some internal circuitry remain active until AC/DC power is
removed.
