This chapter describes the information on the operational requirements and additional
driver information of Inspur ON5263M5 server.
5.1
Operational Requirements
When installing the server in a rack, select a location that meets the environmental
standards.
5.1.1 Space and Airflow
To allow for servicing and adequate airflow, it is recommended to use the following space
and airflow suggestions when deciding where to install a rack:
•
Leave a minimum clearance of 63.5 cm (25 in) in front of the rack.
•
Leave a minimum clearance of 76.2 cm (30 in) behind the rack.
•
Leave a minimum clearance of 121.9 cm (48 in) from the back of the rack to the back
of another rack or row of racks.
Inspur Servers draw in cool air through the front door and expel warm air through the rear
door. Therefore, the front and rear doors of the rack must be adequately ventilated to
allow ambient room air to enter the cabinet, and the rear door must be adequately
ventilated to allow the warm air to flow out from the cabinet.
CAUTION:
•
To prevent improper cooling and damage to the equipment, do not block
the ventilation openings.
•
Always use blanking panels to fill empty vertical spaces in the rack. When
the rack is not filled by a server or rack component, the gaps between the
components cause changes in airflow through the rack and across the
servers. Cover all gaps with blanking panels to maintain proper airflow.
If a third-party rack is used, it is recommended to use the following additional
requirements to ensure adequate airflow and to prevent thermal damage to the server
and rack component:
•
Front and rear doors—If the rack includes the closed front and rear doors, you must
allow 5,350 square centimeters (830 square inches) of holes evenly distributed from
top to bottom to permit adequate airflow (about 64% 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).
