Temperature Requirements; Warnings And Cautions - HP 195294-001 - ProLiant - ML370R Setup And Installation Manual

Because of the high ground-leakage currents associated with multiple servers
connected to the same power source, HP recommends the use of a power distribution
unit (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.

Temperature Requirements

To ensure continued safe and reliable equipment operation, install or place the system
in a well-ventilated, climate controlled environment. The maximum recommended
ambient operating temperature (TMRA) for most server products is 95°F (35°C). The
temperature in the room where the rack is located must not exceed 95°F (35°C).
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to the equipment when installing
