If you are installing multiple servers or other components in the rack, place the components
and servers in positions that they can be easily opened and serviced. For example, the
heaviest components—such as a uninterruptible power supply—are placed at the bottom of
the rack; servers are often in the middle of the rack.
If installing this server in a rack that contains multiple components, be sure that the power
connections to the rack are sufficient for the combined power requirements of all the components.
Ensure adequate and safe power by following these guidelines:
•
Check documentation of all the components in the rack to obtain the total power requirement
that the rack will use. Cross-reference this need with information on the total available
power to see if the power supply for the rack is sufficient for the planned components.
•
When planning electrical power arrangements, make sure you have more power available
than specified for all components. Also, make sure the power load is distributed evenly
among circuits to the location of the rack.
•
Make sure power connections for the server and all other components are grounded.
•
See the
Appendix A, "Technical Specifications"
requirements for this server.
The operating environment where the server is installed must meet the following temperature and
ventilation requirements:
•
Verify the temperature range of the datacenter or room where the server is installed. Ensure
that it is within the limits established for the server and all other components. This server is
designed to function within the temperature range of 10–35°C / 50–90°F.
•
Adequate ventilation must be present to maintain the specified temperature range. This is
particularly important for a server or rack enclosed in a cabinet.
