Grounding

Temperature Requirements

For proper operation and safety, this equipment is required to be grounded
properly in accordance with NFPA 70-1993, Article 250. All power
distribution devices, branch wiring, and receptacles must be listed grounding
type devices.
Due to the higher ground leakage currents associated with the equipment,
Compaq recommends the use of a Power Distribution Unit (PDU) that
provides a supplementary ground conductor. This supplementary ground
conductor should be permanently connected to a suitable building ground
terminal. The use of common power outlet strips for this equipment is not
recommended.
For proper operation and safety, this equipment is required to be properly
grounded. In the United States, install the equipment in accordance with
NFPA 70-1993 (National Electric Code) Article 250, as well as any local and
regional building codes. In Canada, the equipment should be installed in
accordance with Canadian Standards Association, CSA C22.1, Canadian
Electrical Code. In all other countries, the installation should follow any
regional or national electrical wiring codes, such as the International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 364 parts 1 through 7. All power
distribution devices used in the installation, including branch wiring,
receptacles, and so on, should be Listed or Certified ground-type devices.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, due to high leakage currents,
a reliable grounded connection (earthed) is essential, before connecting the unit
to an AC supply.
When using power strips for electrical distribution, make sure that ground
integrity is maintained for each connection made. Plug each component into a
reliably grounded outlet.
To ensure continued safe and reliable operation of the equipment, locate the
system in a well-ventilated, climate-controlled environment.
The Compaq Maximum Recommended Ambient Operating Temperature
(TMRA) for most products is 35°C (95°F). Therefore, the temperature in the
room where the rack is located should not exceed
The operating temperature inside the rack will always be higher than the room
temperature, and will depend on the configuration of equipment in your rack.
The TMRA for each piece of equipment should be checked before installation.
