warm air to escape from the cabinet. To prevent improper cooling and damage to the equipment, do not block the ventilation openings. When the vertical space in the rack is not filled by a server or rack component, the gaps between the components cause changes in airflow through the rack and across the servers.
Page 35: Rack Warnings And Cautions
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.
Page 36: Server Warnings And Cautions
CAUTION: CAUTION: Before installing the server in a rack, be sure to properly scope the limitations of the rack. Before proceeding with the installation, consider the following: You must fully understand the static and dynamic load carrying capacity of the rack and be sure that it can accommodate the weight of the server.

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. To prevent electrostatic damage: Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers. Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.
