Space and airflow requirements Space and airflow requirements Temperature requirements Temperature requirements Power requirements Power requirements Electrical grounding requirements Electrical grounding requirements Space and airflow requirements Space and airflow requirements To allow for servicing and adequate airflow, observe the following space and airflow requirements when deciding where to install a rack: Leave a minimum clearance of 63.5 cm (25 in) in front of the rack.
CAUTION: CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to the equipment when installing third-party options: Do not permit optional equipment to impede airflow around the server or to increase the internal rack temperature beyond the maximum allowable limits. Do not exceed the manufacturer’s TMRA. Power requirements Power requirements Installation of this equipment must comply with local and regional electrical regulations governing the installation of information technology...
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.
WARNING: WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or burns after removing the energy pack: Do not disassemble, crush, or puncture the energy pack. Do not short external contacts. Do not dispose of the energy pack in fire or water. Do not expose the energy pack to low air pressure as it might lead to explosion or leakage of flammable liquid or gas.
WARNING: WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage when unloading a rack: At least two people are needed to safely unload the rack from the pallet. An empty 42U rack can weigh as much as 115 kg (253 lb), can stand more than 2.1 m (7 ft) tall, and might become unstable when being moved on its casters.
