Peak server performance depends in part on the environment you select for installing a server or servers. Select a location that meets standard environmental requirements for the following: • Space and airflow • Power • Electrical grounding • Temperature HP ProLiant ML370 Generation 3 Server Setup and Installation Guide...
Leave a minimum clearance of 121.9 cm (48 inches) from the back of the rack to the back of another rack or row of racks. HP 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.
CAUTION: Protect the server from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a regulating UPS device. This device protects the hardware from damage caused by power surges and voltage spikes and keeps the system in operation during a power failure. HP ProLiant ML370 Generation 3 Server Setup and Installation Guide...
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. HP ProLiant ML370 Generation 3 Server Setup and Installation Guide...
Planning the Server Installation 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.
