Server Warnings and Precautions
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot
surfaces, allow the hot plug drives and internal system
components to cool before touching.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to
the equipment:
Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The
s
grounding plug is an important safety feature.
Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet that
s
is easily accessible at all times.
Install the power supply before connecting the power cord
s
to the power supply.
Unplug the power cord before removing the power supply
s
from the server.
If the system has multiple power supplies, disconnect
s
power from the system by unplugging all power cords
from the power supplies
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.
CAUTION: The Compaq ProLiant Server must always be
operated with the system unit cover on. Proper cooling will not
be achieved if the system unit cover is removed.
IMPORTANT: Because of the 100 to 120 VAC electrical rating of each
power supply, some local electrical authorities may require either one
15-Ampere circuit for each power supply or one 20-Ampere circuit for
each pair of power supplies.

Rack Warnings and Precautions
Before beginning these procedures, make sure you understand the following
warnings and caution.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to
the equipment, at least two people are needed to safely unload
the rack from the pallet. An empty 42U rack weighs 253 LB (115
kg), is over seven ft (2.1m) tall, and may become unstable when
being moved on its casters. Do not stand in front of the rack as it
rolls down the ramp from the pallet, but handle it from the sides.
WARNING: Because the rack allows you to stack computer
components on a vertical rather than a horizontal plane, you must
take precautions to provide for rack stability and safety. It is
important that you follow these basic instructions to protect both
personnel and property, and that you heed all cautions and
warnings throughout the installation instructions.
WARNING: Always load the heaviest item first and always load
the rack from the bottom up. This will make the rack "bottom-
heavy" and help prevent the rack from becoming unstable. See
"Rules for the Rack Builder" on the Compaq Installing Rack
Products CD for the rules that govern the vertical placement of
rack-mounted components.
WARNING: A rack may become unstable if more than one
component is extended for any reason. To reduce the risk of
personal injury, always ensure that the rack is adequately
stabilized before extending a component outside the rack, and
extend only one component at a time.

WARNING: Before beginning to work on the rack, be sure that
the leveling jacks are extended to the floor, that the full weight of
the rack rests on the level floor, and that either stabilizers are
installed or that multiple racks are coupled together for stability.
CAUTION: Do not place anything on power cords or cables.
Arrange them so that no one may accidentally step or trip over
them. Do not pull on a cord or cable. When unplugging from the
electrical outlet, grasp the cord by the plug.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to
the equipment, a minimum of two people MUST lift the server
into the rack. The server weighs about 50 pounds (22.6
kilograms). If the unit is to be loaded above chest level, a third
person must assist in aligning the rails while the other two
support the unit.

Rack Temperature Requirements
The operating temperature inside the rack will always be higher than the room
temperature, and is dependent on the configuration of equipment in your rack.
The TMRA for each piece of equipment should be checked before installation.
The maximum internal rack temperature for your configuration should not
exceed the values shown in the following table:
Table 3-1
Rack Internal Temperature Maximums
Equipment Included Maximum Internal Rack Temperature
Rack-Mountable ProLiant Servers 50C/122F
Compaq Rack-Mountable options 40C/104F
Other manufacturers' options See other manufacturer's specifications
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to the equipment when
installing third-party options:
s Make sure that the option equipment does not impede
airflow to the Rack-Mountable ProLiant Servers or increase
the internal rack temperature beyond the Compaq specified
maximum rating.
s Make sure that the Manufacturer's Maximum Recommended
Ambient Operating Temperature of the option equipment is
not exceeded when installed in the rack.

Airflow Requirements
Compaq ProLiant rack-mountable servers draw cool air in through the front
door and exhaust warm air out the rear door of the server. Therefore, the front
door 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 escape from the cabinet. Do not block the ventilation apertures.
CAUTION: If a third-party rack is used, the following minimum
requirements should be observed to ensure adequate airflow and
to prevent damage to the equipment:
Front: The front must have a minimum of 25 inches of
unrestricted ventilation.
Side: The clearance between the installed module and the side
panels of the rack should be a minimum of 2.75 inches.
Rear: The clearance between the back of the rack and the wall
should be a minimum of 30 inches. The equipment should
be operating without a rear door.
NOTE: If all of the vertical space in the rack is not filled by components, the
gaps that are left cause a change in airflow through the rack and across the
components. These gaps should be covered with blanking panels.
