Three modular PDUs are available for use with the rp54xx product: • 20A modular PDU, HP product number E7674A. This PDU has seven C13 outlets and one C19 outlet. Note that if this PDU is used to power the rp54xx server, any other peripherals must have their power supplied by additional PDUs in the cabinet.

    System Specifications LAN and Telephone LAN and Telephone rp54xx servers provide remote console access via the secure web console, which may be connected to the RS-232 serial port or 10Base-T RJ45 LAN port on the GSP (Guardian Service Processor) card in I/O slot #2. The same connectors may also be used to connect directly to a hard console.

    General Site Preparation Guidelines Electrical Factors Electrical Factors Proper design and installation of a power distribution system for an hp server 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. In general, a well-designed power distribution system exceeds the requirements of most electrical codes.
  • Page 207: Power Consumption

    General Site Preparation Guidelines Electrical Factors The minimum recommended illumination level is 70 foot-candles (756 lumens per square meter) when the light level is measured at 30 inches (76.2 cm) above the floor. Power Consumption When determining power requirements, you must consider any peripheral equipment that will be installed during initial installation or as a later update.

  • Page 209: Grounding Systems

    Power distribution systems consist of several parts. Hewlett-Packard recommends that these parts be solidly interconnected to provide an equipotential ground to all points.

    Electrical Factors Equipment Grounding Implementation Details Connect all Hewlett-Packard equipment cabinets to the site ground grid as follows: Step 1. Attach one end of each ground strap to the applicable cabinet ground lug. Step 2. Attach the other end to the nearest pedestal base (raised floor) or cable trough ground point (nonraised floor).

    General Site Preparation Guidelines Environmental Elements Environmental Elements The following environmental elements can affect an hp server installation: • Computer room preparation • Cooling requirements • Humidity level • Air conditioning ducts • Dust and pollution control • Electrostatic discharge (ESD) prevention •...
  • Page 213 General Site Preparation Guidelines Environmental Elements • Air distribution • System controls adequate to maintain the computer room within specified operating ranges. Lighting and personnel must also be included. For example, a person dissipates about 450 BTUs per hour while performing a typical computer room task. At altitudes above 10,000 feet (3048 m), the lower air density reduces the cooling capability of air conditioning systems.

  • Page 215: Metallic Particulate Contamination

    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.

    Raised floor loading is a function of the manufacturer’s load specification and the positioning of the equipment relative to the raised floor grid. While Hewlett-Packard cannot assume responsibility for determining the suitability of a particular raised floor system, it does provide information and illustrations for the customer or local agencies to determine installation requirements.

    This section contains an example of a computer room raised floor system that is satisfactory for the installation of an hp server. Based on specific information provided by Hewlett-Packard, Tate Access Floors has approved its Series 800 all-steel access floor with bolt-together stringers and 24 in. (61.0 cm) by 24 in.
