Installation Basics

Safety Precautions

Always keep the following safety and environmental issues in mind, especially if
you install the HP NetServer in a non-HP rack environment:
Maximum Recommended Ambient Temperature. The maximum
recommended ambient temperature of the room is 35 C.
Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature. The ambient operating
temperature within a closed or multi-unit rack assembly may exceed the
room's ambient temperature. Make sure that the temperature within the
rack itself does not exceed 35 C.
Reduced Air Flow. As you mount equipment in the rack, make sure that
you allow enough air flow for safe operation of the equipment.
Mechanical Loading. Uneven mechanical loading within the rack can
cause hazardous conditions. Plan the placement of equipment in the rack
to make sure that this problem does not occur. Mount the heaviest
components in the bottom of the rack and install equipment in the lowest
available position in the rack.
Circuit Overloading. Make sure that the total configuration of equipment
in the rack does not overload the supply circuit. To this end, check the
nameplate ratings on all equipment. Consider the effect of circuit
overloading on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
Reliable Earthing (Grounding). Maintain reliable earthing of
rackmounted equipment. Give particular attention to supply connections
that are not direct connections to the branch circuit: the use of power
strips, for example.
