adequate airflow (equivalent to the required 64 percent open area for ventilation).
•
Side—The clearance between the installed rack component and the side panels of the rack
must be a minimum of 7 cm (2.75 in).
5.1.2 Temperature Requirements
To ensure continued safe and reliable equipment operation, install or position the system in
a well-ventilated, climate-controlled environment.
The maximum recommended ambient operating temperature (TMRA) for most server
products is 35°C (95°F). The temperature in the room where the rack is located must not
exceed 35°C (95°F).
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of damage to the equipment when installing third-party options:
•
Do not permit optional equipment to impede airflow around the server or to increase the
internal rack temperature beyond the maximum allowable limits.
•
Do not exceed the manufacturer’s TMRA.
5.1.3 Power Requirements
Installation of this equipment must comply with local and regional electrical regulations
governing the installation of information technology equipment by licensed electricians.
This equipment is designed to operate in installations covered by NFPA 70, 1999 Edition
(National Electric Code) and NFPA-75, 1992 (code for Protection of Electronic Computer/
Data Processing Equipment). For electrical power ratings on options, refer to the product
rating label or the user documentation supplied with that option.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not
overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack. Consult the electrical
authority having jurisdiction over wiring and installation requirements of your facility.
CAUTION:
Protect the server from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with
a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS). This device protects the hardware from
damage caused by power surges and voltage spikes and keeps the system in operation
during a power failure.
