Compaq ProLiant Storage System /U User Guide
Temperature Requirements
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 server products is 35°C (95°F). Therefore, the temperature in
the room where the rack is located should not exceed
35
°
C
(95°F).
The operating temperature inside the rack will always be higher than the room
temperature, and is dependent on the configuration of equipment in your rack.
The Tmra for each piece of equipment should be checked before installation.
The maximum internal rack temperature for your configuration should not
exceed the values in the following table:

CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of damage to the equipment when installing third-
party options:
■
Ensure that the option equipment does not impede airflow to the Rack-
Mountable ProLiant Servers or increase the internal rack temperature beyond
the Compaq specified maximum rating.
■
Ensure that the Manufacturer’s Maximum Recommended Ambient Operating
Temperature of the option equipment is not exceeded when installed in the
rack.
