This section provides a brief overview of concerns to be aware of when attaching the site AC power to the
server cabinet. See the Site Preparation Guide for the hp rp8400 Server Series for a more detailed
explanation.
Hewlett-Packard personnel should not be directly involved in the selection of material, installation, or
connection of site AC power. In all cases, this work should be done in strict adherence to local codes by the
customer, either directly through their personnel, or via licensed contractors. Hewlett-Packard personnel
should not be involved with the selection of suitable materials, which must conform to local code (size,
temperature rating, length, etc.).
Before beginning receptacle installation, consider the following:
• Observe all local electrical codes and practices.
• Ensure that the AC power receptacle is wired to the site AC power via conductors routed through flexible
metal conduit or via approved AC power cable before cabinet installation.
• Ensure that AC power cable is properly sized, service rated, temperature rated, and complies with all
applicable codes and regulations.
• Ensure that the conductors in conduit are properly sized, service rated, temperature rated, color coded,
and comply with all applicable codes and regulations.
• Ensure that the AC power cable or conduit is long enough to reach from the site AC power junction box to
a location within the distance required to connect to the cabinet.
