Optimum environment
When installing the server, select a location that meets the environmental requirements described in this section.
Site requirements
The server may be located in an office space or a purpose-made equipment room. The location must:
• Comply with local health and safety regulations.
• Be clean, tidy, and free of excessive dust and vibration.
• Be in an area in which the server cannot easily be disconnected from its power source.
• Not be adjacent to or underneath any area or piece of equipment where liquid is stored.
• Not be in a place where the server might be bumped, scratched, or disturbed.
• Be within an area that is ideally locked or at minimum not accessible to unauthorized personnel.
• Be within patching distance, directly or via cable management cross-patches, of the location of the WAN connection
and the switch that supplies the office/room floor network ports.
Space and airflow requirements
Leave at least a 10 cm (4 in) clearance space at the front and back of the server for proper ventilation.
CAUTION: The server draws in cool air through the ventilation openings on the front side, and expels warm air
through the ventilation openings on the rear side. Do not block these openings. Failure to observe this caution will
result in improper airflow and insufficient cooling that can lead to thermal damage.
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 TMRA for most server products is 35°C (95°F). The temperature in the room where the
server 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 beyond the maximum allowable limits.
• Do not exceed the manufacturer’s TMRA.
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, see the product rating label or the user documentation
supplied with that option.
