Planning the Server Installation

To ensure maximum performance and availability from your Compaq

ProLiant ML370 Generation 2 server, plan your o perating environment before

beginning server installation.

Figure 2-1. Compaq ProLiant ML370 Generation 2 server installed in a rack

This chapter discusses site preparation and guidelines for ProLiant ML370

Generation 2 rack and tower server installation including:

■ Optimum environmen ts

■ Rack server shipping contents

■ Tower server shipping contents

■ Optional installation service

Optimum Environment

Peak server performance depends in part on the environment you select for
installing your server or servers. Select a location that meets standard
environmental requirements for the following:

■ Space and airflow

■ Power

■ Electrical grounding

■ Temperature

Space and Airflow Requirements

To allow for servicing and adequate airflow, observe the following spatial
requireme nts when deciding where to install your Compaq, Telc o, or
third-party rack:

■ Leave a minimum clearance of 63.5 cm (25 inches) in front of the rack.

■ Leave a minimum clearance of 76.2 cm (30 inches) in the back of the

rack.

■ Leave a minimum clearance of 121.9 cm (48 inches) from the back of

the rack to the rear of another rack or row of racks.

Compaq servers draw in cool air through the front door and expel warm air
through the rear door. The refore, the front and rear rack doors 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.

IMPORTANT: Do not block the ventilation openings.

Planning the Server Ins tallation 2-3

When there is any vertical space in the rack not filled by a server or rack

component, the gaps between the components cause changes in airflow

through the r ack and across the servers. Cover all gaps w i th blankin g panels to

maintain proper airflow.

Compaq 9000 Se ries racks provide proper server cooling from flow-through

perforations in the front and rear doors that provide 64 percent open area for

ventilation. Refer to the rack documentation provided with Com paq 7 000

Series and thi rd-party racks for additional guidelines on meeti ng airflow

requirements.

CAUTION: When using a Compaq 7000 Series rack, you must install the high
airflow rack door insert [P/N 327281-B21 (42U) and P/N 157847-B21 (22U)] to
provide proper front-to-back airflow and cooling to prevent damage to the
equipment.

CAUTION: If a 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 your 42U server rack includes closing front and

rear doors, you must allow 5,350 sq cm (830 square inches) 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 inches).

CAUTION: Always use blanking panels to fill empty vertical spaces in the rack.
This arrangement ensures proper airflow. Using a rack without blanking panels
results in improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.

To allow for servicing and adequate airflow for your tower server, observe the

following requirements:

■ Select a sturdy, level installation site that includes dedicated and

properly grounded circuits, air conditioning, and static electricity
protection.

■ Leave at least a 7.6-cm (3-inch) clearance space at the front and back of

the server for proper ventilation.

■ Provide a separate electrical circuit for the server.

2-4 Compaq ProLiant ML370 Generation 2 Server Setup and Installation Guide

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 that has jurisdiction over your facility’s
wiring and installation requirements.

CAUTION: Ensure that you place the equipment sufficiently close to the power
outlet. When you need to disconnect power completely from the server, ensure
that you unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

CAUTION: Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the
server from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions. This device protects
the hardware from damage caused by power surges and voltage spikes, and it
keeps the system in operation during a power failure.

Installation of this equipment must comply with local and regional electrical
regulations governing the installat ion 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: Standard for the Protection of Electronic Computer/Data Processing
Equipment, 1992 Edition. For electri cal power rat ings on options, refer to the
product’s rating label or the user documentatio n supplied with that option.

When installing more than one server, you may need to use additional power
distributi on devices to provide powe r to all devices safely.

■ The power load must be ba lanced betwe en available AC supply branch

circuits.

■ The overall system AC current load must not exceed 80 percent of the

branch circuit AC current rating in your facility.

■ If you use power strips, t he overall system AC current load must not

exceed 80 percent of the electrical current marked on the power strip.

NOTE: Power strips are not recommended for optimal power distribution and safety.

Electrical Grounding Requirements

WARNING: This equipment is designed for connection to a grounded AC outlet.

The grounding type plug is an important safety feature. To reduce risk of
electrical shock or damage to your equipment, do not disable the grounding
feature on the plug.

The server must be grounded properly for proper operation and sa fety. In the

United States, you must install the equipment in accordance with

NFPA 70, 1999 Edition (National Electric Code), Article 250, as well as any

local and reg ional buildi ng codes. In Canada, the equipment must be installed

in accordance with Canadian Standards Association, CSA C22.1, Canadian

Electrical Code. In all other countries, the installation must follow any

regional or national electrical wiring codes, such as the International

Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Code 364, parts 1 through 7. Furthermore,

you must ensure that all power distrib ution devices used in the installatio n,

such as branch wiring and receptacles, are listed or certified grounding-type

devices.

Because of the high ground-leakage currents associated with multiple servers

connected to the same power source, Compaq recommends the use of a power

distributi on unit (PDU) that is either permanent ly wired to the building branch

circuit or includes a nondetachable cord wired to an industrial-style plug.

NEMA locking-style plugs or those complying wit h IEC 60309 are considered

suitable for this purpose. Compaq does not recomme nd using common power

outlet strips for this equipment.

Planning the Server Ins tallation 2-5

Temperature Requirements

To ensure cont inued safe and reliable equipment ope ration, install or locate the

system in a well-ventilated, climate controlled environme nt. The maximum

recommended ambient operating temperature (TMRA) for most Compaq

server produc ts is 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 servers or

to increase the internal rack temperature beyond the maximum allowable
limits.

■ Do not exceed the manufacturer’s TMRA.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage, ensure
that:

■ The leveling jacks are extended to the floor.

■ The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks.

■ The stabilizers are attached to the rack for single-rack installation.

■ The racks are installed together in multiple-rack installations.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage, at least
two people are needed to safely unload the rack from the pallet. An empty 42U
rack can weigh as much as 115 kg (253 lb), can stand more than 2.1 m (7 ft)
tall, and may become unstable when being moved on its casters.

Never stand in front of the rack when it is rolling down the ramp from the pallet;
always handle the rack from both sides.

Planning the Server Ins tallation 2-7

WARNING: When installing the server in a Telco rack, ensure that the rack
frame is adequately secured to the top and bottom of the building structure.
