The Optimum Environment
When installing your ProLiant Storage System /U in a rack, certain standards of
temperature and power requirements must be met.
Space Requirements
The following spatial needs should be considered when deciding where to
install your rack:
■
Clearance in the front of the rack should be a minimum of 25 inches for
the front door to open all the way and for adequate airflow.
■
Clearance in the back of the rack should be a minimum of 30 inches to
allow for servicing and for adequate airflow.
■
To service the power supply, allow 15 inches of side clearance.
Power Requirements
!
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
your facility wiring and installation requirements.
■
The power load needs to be balanced between available AC supply
branch circuits.
■
The overall system AC current load must not exceed 80 percent of the
branch circuit AC current rating.
■
If power strips are used, the load should not exceed 80 percent of the
power strip's marked electrical current rating.
