Operational requirements

Space and airflow requirements

To allow for servicing and adequate airflow, observe the following space and airflow requirements 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.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise servers draw in cool air through the front door and expel warm air through the rear door. Therefore, 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.

CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and damage to the equipment, do not block the ventilation openings.

When vertical space in 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.

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.

The 9000 and 10000 Series Racks provide proper server cooling from flow-through perforations in the front and rear doors that provide 64 percent open area for ventilation.

Setup 43

CAUTION: When using a Compaq branded 7000 series rack, install the high airflow rack door insert (PN 327281-B21 for 42U rack, PN 157847-B21 for 22U rack) to provide proper front-to-back airflow and cooling.

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 the 42U 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).

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 ambient operating temperature (TMRA) for most server products is 35°C (95°F). The temperature in the room where the rack 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 or to increase the internal rack temperature 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, refer to the product rating label or the user documentation supplied with that option.

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 having jurisdiction over wiring and installation requirements of your facility.

CAUTION: Protect the server from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a regulating uninterruptible power supply. This device protects the hardware from damage caused by power surges and voltage spikes and keeps the system in operation during a power failure.

Electrical grounding requirements

The server must be grounded properly for proper operation and safety. 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 regional building codes. In Canada, you must install the equipment in accordance with Canadian Standards Association, CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code. In all other countries, you must install the equipment in accordance with any regional or national electrical wiring codes, such as the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Code 364, parts 1 through 7. Furthermore, you must be sure that all power distribution devices used in the installation, such as branch wiring and receptacles, are listed or certified grounding-type devices.

44 Setup

Because of the high ground-leakage currents associated with multiple servers connected to the same power source, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends the use of a PDU that is either permanently wired to the building’s branch circuit or includes a nondetachable cord that is wired to an industrial-style plug. NEMA locking-style plugs or those complying with IEC 60309 are considered suitable for this purpose. Using common power outlet strips for the server is not recommended.

Connecting a DC power cable to a DC power source

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or energy hazards:

• This equipment must be installed by trained service personnel, as defined by the NEC and IEC 60950-1, Second Edition, the standard for Safety of Information Technology Equipment.

• Connect the equipment to a reliably grounded Secondary circuit source. A Secondary circuit has no direct connection to a Primary circuit and derives its power from a transformer, converter, or equivalent isolation device.

• The branch circuit overcurrent protection must be rated 27 A.

WARNING: When installing a DC power supply, the ground wire must be connected before the positive or negative leads.

WARNING: Remove power from the power supply before performing any installation steps or maintenance on the power supply.

CAUTION: The server equipment connects the earthed conductor of the DC supply circuit to the earthing conductor at the equipment. For more information, see the documentation that ships with the power supply.

CAUTION: If the DC connection exists between the earthed conductor of the DC supply circuit and the earthing conductor at the server equipment, the following conditions must be met:

• This equipment must be connected directly to the DC supply system earthing electrode conductor or to a bonding jumper from an earthing terminal bar or bus to which the DC supply system earthing electrode conductor is connected.

• This equipment should be located in the same immediate area (such as adjacent cabinets) as any other equipment that has a connection between the earthed conductor of the same DC supply circuit and the earthing conductor, and also the point of earthing of the DC system. The DC system should be earthed elsewhere.

• The DC supply source is to be located within the same premises as the equipment.

• Switching or disconnecting devices should not be in the earthed circuit conductor between the DC source and the point of connection of the earthing electrode conductor.

To connect a DC power cable to a DC power source:

1. Cut the DC power cord ends no shorter than 150 cm (59.06 in).

2. If the power source requires ring tongues, use a crimping tool to install the ring tongues on the power cord

wires.

IMPORTANT: The ring terminals must be UL approved and accommodate 12 gauge wires.

Setup 45

IMPORTANT: The minimum nominal thread diameter of a pillar or stud type terminal must be 3.5 mm (0.138 in); the diameter of a screw type terminal must be 4.0 mm (0.157 in).

3. Stack each same-colored pair of wires and then attach them to the same power source. The power cord

consists of three wires (black, red, and green).

For more information, see the documentation that ships with the power supply.

Server warnings and cautions

WARNING: This server is heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment:

uninterruptible power supply. 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: Do not operate the server for long periods with the access panel open or removed. Operating the server in this manner results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.

Rack warnings

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure that:

• The leveling jacks are extended to the floor.

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

• The stabilizing feet are attached to the rack if it is a single-rack installation.

• The racks are coupled together in multiple-rack installations.

• Only one component is extended at a time. A rack may become unstable if more than one component is extended for any reason.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage when unloading a rack:

• 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 might 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.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, adequately stabilize the rack before extending a component outside the rack. Extend only one component at a time. A rack may become unstable if more than one component is extended.

WARNING: When installing a server in a telco rack, be sure that the rack frame is adequately secured at the top and bottom to the building structure.

Electrostatic discharge

Be aware of the precautions you must follow when setting up the system or handling components. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or other staticsensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the system or component.

To prevent electrostatic damage:

• Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.

• Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.

• Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.

• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.

• Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly. Use one or more of the following methods when handling or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:

Setup 47

◦ Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer chassis. Wrist

straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm ±10 percent resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.

◦ Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both feet when

standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor mats.

◦ Use conductive field service tools.

◦ Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.

Setting the server power supply requirements

The server supports four power supply redundancy modes in UEFI System Utilities. To determine if your current server hardware configuration can support a specific redundancy setting, use the HPE Power Advisor on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/info/poweradvisor/online).

• 1 + 1 Redundancy—In a two-power supply configuration, the server will continue to operate if one power

supply fails. This mode is not applicable in a four-power supply configuration.

• 2 + 2 Redundancy—In a four-power supply configuration, the server will continue to operate if two power

supplies fail or if one AC feed loses power.

• 3 + 1 Redundancy—In a four-power supply configuration, the server will continue to operate if a single

power supply fails. The server will initiate operating system shutdown if two power supplies fail. No AC power redundancy is possible.

• 4 + 0 Redundancy—In a four-power supply configuration, there is no power supply redundancy. The

server consumes more power than what redundancy can supply, and will initiate operating system shutdown if one or more power supplies fail.

By default, the server is configured for 1 + 1 power redundancy.

To verify that the server is cabled properly for AC power redundancy, see Power supply options.

50 Setup

Procedure

1. Use the HPE Power Advisor (http://www.hpe.com/info/poweradvisor/online) to determine the power

To power down the server, use one of the following methods:

• Press and release the Power On/Standby button.

This method initiates a controlled shutdown of applications and the OS before the server enters standby mode.

• Press and hold the Power On/Standby button for more than 4 seconds to force the server to enter standby mode.

This method forces the server to enter standby mode without properly exiting applications and the OS. If an application stops responding, you can use this method to force a shutdown.

• Use a virtual power button selection through iLO.

This method initiates a controlled remote shutdown of applications and the OS before the server enters standby mode.

Before proceeding, verify that the server is in standby mode by observing that the system power LED is amber.
