Planning the Server Installation
CAUTION: If a third-party rack is used, observe the following additional
requirements to ensure adequate airflow and to prevent damage to the equipment:
•
•
CAUTION: Always use blanking panels to fill empty vertical spaces in the rack. This
arrangement ensures proper airflow. Using a rack without blanking panels, results in
improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.

Temperature Requirements

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

Power Requirements

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, fire, or damage to the
equipment, do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power
to the rack. Consult the electrical authority having jurisdiction over the
facility's wiring and installation requirements.
The installation of this equipment shall be in accordance with local/regional electrical
regulations governing the installation of information technology equipment by
licensed electricians. This equipment is designed to operate in installations covered
