Rack-free environment requirements

The HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure (referred to as the enclosure) can be used in a rack-free environment. The following conditions must be met when performing a rack-free installation:

•A fully-populated enclosure can weigh up to 217.7 kg (480 lb). The object supporting the enclosure must be able to withstand this weight.

•The enclosure should be supported by a sturdy, flat surface.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment in a rack-free environment:

•Never stack the enclosure on top of another enclosure.

•Never place equipment on top of the enclosure.

•Never place the enclosure on a surface that cannot support up to 217.7 kg (480 lb).

Warning, caution, and important messages

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to equipment, heed all warnings and cautions throughout the installation instructions.

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.

Planning the installation 8

WARNING: The enclosure is very heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment:

•Observe local occupational health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual material handling.

•Remove all installed enclosure components from their enclosures before installing or moving the enclosures.

•Use caution and get help to lift and stabilize enclosures during installation or removal, especially when the enclosure is not fastened to the rack.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, you must adequately support enclosures during installation and removal.

WARNING: Always use at least two people to lift an enclosure into the rack. If the enclosure is being loaded into the rack above chest level, a third person must assist with aligning the enclosure with the rails while the other two people support the weight of the enclosure.

WARNING: Before installing an enclosure in the rack, be sure that all hot-plug power supplies, server blades, and interconnects are removed from the enclosure. Blanks can be left in the enclosure.

WARNING: Be sure to install enclosures starting from the bottom of the rack and work your way up the rack.

These symbols, on power supplies or systems, indicate that the equipment is supplied by multiple sources of power.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from electric shock, remove all power cords to completely disconnect power from the system.

•Each enclosure has two or more power supply cords. A single rack or cabinet may contain more than one enclosure. Power may be supplied in a redundant fashion. Removing any single source of power does not necessarily remove power from any portion of the system. When performing any service other than hot-plug module replacement, you must completely disconnect all power to that portion of the system.

•When performing service procedures on enclosures, shut off the circuit breakers to both A and B AC power feeds and then disconnect all power cords from the outlets before servicing.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the internal system components to cool before touching them.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment, enter enclosures or perform service on system components only as instructed in the user documentation.

WARNING: A risk of electric shock from high leakage current exists. Before connecting the AC supply to the power enclosures, be sure that the electrical outlets are properly grounded (earthed).

CAUTION: Always be sure that equipment is properly grounded and that you follow proper grounding procedures before beginning any installation procedure. Improper grounding can result in ESD damage to electronic components. For more information, refer to, "Electrostatic discharge (on page 97)."

Planning the installation 9

CAUTION: When performing non-hot-plug operations, you must power down the server blade and/or the system. Use caution when performing other operations, such as hot-plug installations or troubleshooting.

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

IMPORTANT: Data on the dimensions and weights of HP BladeSystem c-Class components can be found in the HP BladeSystem c-Class Maintenance and Service Guide. The same data can be determined by using the online HP BladeSystem c-Class Sizing Utility.

Space and airflow requirements

To enable servicing and ensure adequate airflow, observe the following spatial requirements when deciding where to install an HP branded, Compaq branded, telco, or third-party 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) in back of the rack.

•Leave a minimum clearance of 121.9 cm (48 in) from the back of the rack to the rear of another rack or row of racks.

HP BladeSystem servers draw cool air in through the front and expel warm air through the rear of the enclosure. Therefore, the front of the rack enclosure must be adequately ventilated to enable ambient room air to enter the enclosure, and the rear of the enclosure must be adequately ventilated to enable the warm air to escape from the enclosure.

IMPORTANT: Do not block the ventilation openings.

If the front of the rack is not completely filled with components, the remaining gaps between the components can cause changes in the airflow, which can adversely affect cooling within the rack. Cover these gaps with blanking panels.

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.

In high density configurations, the HP 10000 Series Rack Airflow Optimization Kit (AF090A) should be installed to prevent airflow from the rear of the rack to the front the rack via gaps in the rack frame.

HP 10000 Series and 10000 G2 Series racks provide proper server cooling from flow-through perforations in the front and rear doors that provide 65 percent open area for ventilation.

CAUTION: Always use blanks to fill empty spaces in enclosures. This arrangement ensures proper airflow. Using an enclosure without the proper blanks results in improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.

Planning the installation 10

Temperature requirements

To ensure continued safe and reliable equipment operation, install or position the rack in a well ventilated, climate-controlled environment.

The operating temperature inside the rack is always higher than the room temperature and is dependent on the configuration of equipment in the rack. Check the TMRA for each piece of equipment before installation.

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 enclosure 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 IT 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 enclosure from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a regulating UPS. This device protects the hardware from damage caused by power surges and voltage spikes and keeps the enclosure in operation during a power failure.

Grounding requirements

This equipment 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.

Because of the high ground-leakage currents associated with this equipment, HP 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 to supply power to this equipment is not recommended.

Installation

Installation overview

To set up and install the enclosure:

1.Disassemble the enclosure ("Disassembling the enclosure" on page 21).

2.For rack-free installations ("Rack-free installation" on page 24), set up the enclosure on an appropriate surface, then install the rear cage and enclosure components.

3.For rack installations, install the enclosure into the rack ("Installing the enclosure into the rack" on page 26) then reassemble the enclosure.

4.Install the enclosure components ("Component installation" on page 29) into the enclosure.

5.Connect the enclosure components ("Cabling and powering up the enclosure" on page 56) in the enclosure.

6.Connect the AC power cables and power up the enclosure ("Powering up the enclosure" on page 59).

7.Configure the enclosure ("Running the Insight Display installation steps" on page 65) using the Insight Display.

Disassembling the enclosure

Before installing the enclosure into the rack, you must disassemble the enclosure. Because a fully-populated enclosure can weigh up to 217.7 kg (480 lb), remove the components and the rear cage from the enclosure to make moving and installing the enclosure easier. Two people should work together to remove the rear cage from the enclosure.

The empty enclosure with the rear cage installed weighs 58.6 kg (129 lb). When the enclosure is disassembled, the empty enclosure without the rear cage installed weighs 35.5 kg (78 lb). The empty rear cage weighs 23.2 kg (51 lb).

Installation 21

1.With the enclosure still on the pallet, remove all components from the front and rear of the enclosure.

2.Remove the rear cage:

a. Loosen the thumbscrews and open the hinges completely.

Installation 22

b.Use the handles to extend the rear cage until the release levers engage on both sides of the rear cage.

c.Grasp the handholds below the release levers.

d.Disengage the release levers on both sides of the rear cage.

CAUTION: When removing and lifting the rear cage, always grasp the handholds as far forward as possible. The front end of the rear cage is heavy and the handholds provide a more balanced location to distribute the weight of the cage during lifting.

CAUTION: When removing the rear cage and midplane assembly, the connectors on the midplane assembly are susceptible to damage. Use caution to avoid damage to the pins and connectors.

Installation 23

e. Use the handholds to extend and remove the rear cage from the enclosure.

Rack-free installation

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment in a rack-free environment:

•Never stack the enclosure on top of another enclosure.

•Never place equipment on top of the enclosure.

•Never place the enclosure on a surface that cannot support up to 217.7 kg (480 lb).

To set up the enclosure in a rack-free environment:

1.Select the location for the enclosure. For more information, see "Rack-free environment requirements (on page 8)."

2.Disassemble the enclosure ("Disassembling the enclosure" on page 21).

3.Place the enclosure on a flat, sturdy surface to support the enclosure.

4.Install the rear cage into the enclosure. ("Installing the rear cage into the enclosure" on page 28)

Rack installation

CAUTION: Always plan the rack installation so that the heaviest item is on the bottom of the rack. Install the heaviest item first, and continue to populate the rack from the bottom to the top.

NOTE: Up to four 10U enclosures can be installed in a 42U rack. If you are installing more than one enclosure, install the first enclosure in the bottom of the rack, and then install additional enclosures by moving up the rack with each subsequent enclosure. Plan rack installation carefully because it is difficult to change the location of components after they are installed.

To install an enclosure into the rack:

1.Disassemble the enclosure ("Disassembling the enclosure" on page 21).

Installation 24

2.Use the rack template ("Measuring with the rack template" on page 25) to mark the locations for the rack rails.

3.Install the rack rails ("Installing the rack rails" on page 25) for each enclosure.

4.Install the enclosure into the rack ("Installing the enclosure into the rack" on page 26).

Measuring with the rack template

The rack template ships with the rack rail kit and provides detailed instructions on where to position the enclosure rack rails and where to install the four cage or clip nuts. Each enclosure kit includes the rack rails recommended for that enclosure.

NOTE: Four cage nuts and four clip nuts are included with the enclosure. Cage nuts should be used in racks with square holes. Clip nuts should be used in racks with round holes.

When installing multiple enclosures, install the rack rails and cage or clip nuts for one enclosure, and then install the enclosure. Repeat for each additional enclosure.

Installing the rack rails

The rack rails are marked for easy identification. The left rack rail is marked "L" and the right rack rail is marked "R."

To install the rack rails:

1.Begin with the left rack rail. Align the end of the rail with the rear rack column.

2.Slide the rack rail closed until the end of the rail is locked in place, wrapping behind the rear rack column.

Installation 25

3.Slide the front end of the rail to the rack front column. When fully seated, the rack rail will lock into place.

4.Repeat the procedure for the right rack rail.

Installing the enclosure into the rack

To install the enclosure into the rack:

1.At the front of the rack, lift and align the enclosure guiding fins with the guiding groove in the rack rails.

IMPORTANT: Be sure that the guiding fins on the enclosure seat properly in the guiding groove on the rack rail.

Installation 26

2.Push the handles down on each side of the enclosure, and slide the enclosure fully into the rack.

3.Tighten the thumbscrews to secure the enclosure to the rack.

4.Install the rear cage into the enclosure. ("Installing the rear cage into the enclosure" on page 28)

5.Repeat the procedure for the remaining enclosures.

Installation 27

Component installation

The following sections contain installation instructions for the individual enclosure components. All components must be installed and cabled before you power up the enclosure. There is no specific installation order requirement for the enclosure components.

Installing a power supply

See "Running the Insight Display installation steps (on page 65)" for information on the types of power configurations available and how to set them up.

If your HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure is equipped with a three-phase power configuration, six power supplies are required. Single-phase configurations can have fewer than six power supplies.

Install the power supplies based on the total number of supplies needed:

•Two power supplies: Bays 1 and 4

•Three power supplies: Bays 1, 2, and 4

•Four power supplies: Bays 1, 2, 4, and 5

•Five power supplies: Bays 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5

•Six power supplies: All bays

Install power supply blanks in any unused power supply bays.

Power supplies are installed in this manner to provide maximum flexibility for redundancy in three-phase configuration options.

CAUTION: Do not mix HP 2250W, HP 2400W High Efficiency, HP BL7000 2400W Platinum, or -48vDC power supplies in one enclosure. Install only one type of power supply in a single enclosure.
