System Specifications Environmental Specifications Environmental Specifications This section provides the temperature/humidity requirements, noise emission, and air flow specifications for the HP Server. Temperature and Humidity Specifications Ambient intake air temperature is often different from ambient room temperature; you should measure the operating temperature and humidity directly in front of the cabinet cooling air intakes rather than just checking ambient room conditions.

Proper design and installation of a power distribution system for an hp Integrity rx5670 requires specialized skills. Those responsible for this task must have a thorough knowledge and understanding of appropriate electrical codes and the limitations of the power systems for computer and data processing equipment.
Safety agencies derate most power connectors to 80% of their RMS current ratings. Power Quality The hp Integrity rx5670 is designed to operate over a wide range of voltages and frequencies. The server is tested and shown to comply with EMC Specification EN50082. However, damage can occur if these ranges are exceeded.

General Site Preparation Guidelines Electrical Factors Sources of Voltage Fluctuations Voltage fluctuations, sometimes called glitches, affect the quality of electrical power. Common sources of these disturbances are: • Fluctuations occurring within the facility’s distribution system • Utility service low-voltage conditions (such as sags or brownouts) •...
General Site Preparation Guidelines Electrical Factors Power System Protection The hp Integrity rx5670 can be protected from the sources of many of these electrical disturbances by using: • A dedicated power distribution system • Power conditioning equipment • Over- and under-voltage detection and protection circuits •...
This product has not been evaluated for connection to an IT power system (an AC distribution system having no direct connection to earth according to IEC 60950). An hp Integrity rx5670 requires two methods of grounding: • Power distribution safety grounding •...

General Site Preparation Guidelines Electrical Factors NOTE In some cases power distribution system green (green/yellow) wire ground conductors are too long and inductive to provide adequate high frequency ground return paths. Therefore, a ground strap (customer-supplied) should be used for connecting the system cabinet to the site grounding grid (customer-supplied).

General Site Preparation Guidelines Electrical Factors Raised Floor “High Frequency Noise” Grounding If a raised floor system is used, install a complete signal grounding grid for maintaining equal potential over a broad band of frequencies. The grounding grid should be connected to the equipment cabinet and electrical service entrance ground at multiple connection points using a minimum #6 AWG (16 mm2) wire ground conductor.

In domestic installations, the proper receptacles should be installed prior to the arrival of NOTE Hewlett-Packard equipment. Refer to the appropriate installation guide for installation procedures. Wiring Connections Expansion and contraction rates vary among different metals. Therefore, the integrity of an electrical connection depends on the restraining force applied.
• Allow 18 inches (or local code minimum clearance) from the top of the hp Integrity rx5670 cabinet to the fire sprinkler heads. Cooling Requirements Air conditioning equipment requirements and recommendations are described in the following sections.
Page 21
A basic air distribution system includes supply air and return air. An air distribution system should be zoned to deliver an adequate amount of supply air to the cooling air intake vents of the hp Integrity rx5670 equipment cabinets. Supply air temperature should be maintained within the following parameters: •...
The ceiling construction should resist air leakage. Place perforated ceiling panels (with down discharge air flow characteristics) around the front of the system cabinets. The supply air emitted downward from the perforated ceiling panels is then available near the cooling air intake vents of the hp Integrity rx5670 cabinets.
General Site Preparation Guidelines Environmental Elements Dust and Pollution Control Computer equipment can be adversely affected by dust and microscopic particles in the site environment. Specifically, disk drives, tape drives, and some other mechanical devices can have bearing failures resulting from airborne abrasive particles.
Although this problem is relatively rare, it may be an issue within your computer room. Since metallic contamination can cause permanent or intermittent failures on your electronic equipment, Hewlett-Packard strongly recommends that your site be evaluated for metallic particulate contamination before installation of electronic equipment.

Altitude effects Floor Loading The computer room floor must be able to support the total weight of the installed hp Integrity rx5670 as well as the weight of the individual cabinets as they are moved into position. Floor loading is usually not an issue in nonraised floor installations. The information presented in this section is directed toward raised floor installations.
Page 27
The average floor load value is not appropriate for addressing raised floor ratings at the floor grid spacing level. However, it is useful for determining floor loading at the building level, such as the area of solid floor or span of raised floor tiles covered by the hp Integrity rx5670 footprint. Typical Raised Floor Site This section contains an example of a computer room raised floor system that is satisfactory for the installation of an hp Integrity rx5670.

Power Plug Configuration There are several different power cables designed for use with HP Servers. The region the server ships to will determine which power cable ships with the server. The following provides the site preparation specialist with the knowledge of what to expect to receive based on the regional shipping destination. Female End of Power Cable The female end of the power cable is a C15 type plug that mates with the receptacle in each power supply installed in the HP Server.
