Overview of Server Installation
Compaq branded 9000 Series racks provide proper server cooling from flow-through
perforations, ensuring 64 percent open area for ventilation. Refer to the rack
documentation provided with Compaq branded 7000 Series racks for guidelines on
meeting airflow requirements.
CAUTION: If an HP or third-party rack is used, observe the following additional
requirements to ensure adequate airflow and to prevent damage to the equipment:
·
Front and rear doors: If the 42U server rack includes closing front and rear
doors, you must allow 5,350 sq cm (830 sq in) of holes evenly distributed from
top to bottom to permit 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).
For additional information and instructions on installing the server into a rack, refer
to the rack-enabling kit documentation.
