Rack Planning Resources

The following resource information is available on rack designs and products.

The Rack Builder Pro Configuration Tool and Rack Products documentation information can be found on the HP website by following the storage link on the product website.

HP ProLiant DL145 Server User Guide 3-1

Server Setup

The entire Rack Resource CD Kit ships with all HP racks. A summary of the content of each CD follows:

• Rack Builder Pro Configuration Tool

This information helps you to simulate potential rack configurations based on your input. Rack Builder Pro provides the following information:

— Graphical preview of properly configured racks — Site planning data, including power requirements, cooling mandates, and physical

specifications

— Ordering information, including required components, part numbers, and appropriate

quantities

• The Installing Rack Products video provides a visual overview of operations required for

configuring a rack with rack-mountable components. It also provides the following important configuration steps:

— Planning the site — Installing rack servers and rack options — Cabling servers in a rack — Coupling multiple racks

The Rack Products Documentation CD enables you to view, search, and print documentation for HP racks and rack options. It also helps you set up and optimize a rack in a manner that best fits your environment.

Optimum Environment

When installing the server in a rack, select a location that meets the environmental standards described in the following sections.

Space and Airflow Requirements

To enable servicing and adequate airflow, observe the following spatial requirements when deciding where to install the 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 the 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.

3-2 HP ProLiant DL145 Server User Guide

Server Setup

HP 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 enable the warm air to escape from the cabinet.

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

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.

CAUTION: When using a Compaq branded 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.

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 server 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 locate 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 server or to increase the internal rack temperature beyond the maximum allowable limits.

• Do not exceed the manufacturer’s recommended ambient operating temperature (TMRA).

HP ProLiant DL145 Server User Guide 3-3

Server Setup

Power Requirements

The installation of this equipment shall be in accordance with local/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 Edition (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 the wiring and installation requirements of your facility.

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.

When installing more than one server, you may need to use additional power distribution devices to safely provide power to all devices. Observe the following guidelines:

• The power load must be balanced between available AC supply branch circuits.

• The overall system AC current load must not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit AC

current rating.

• Do not use common outlet strips for this equipment.

• Provide a separate electrical circuit for the server.

Grounding Requirements

For proper operation and safety, the server must be properly grounded. 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, 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) 364, parts 1 through 7. Furthermore, you must ensure that all power distribution devices used in the installation—such as branch wiring and receptacles—are listed or certified groundingtype devices.

Because of the high ground leakage currents associated with multiple servers connected to the same power source, HP recommends the use of a power distribution unit (PDU) that is either permanently wired to the branch circuit of the building 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. HP does not recommend using common power outlet strips for this equipment.

3-4 HP ProLiant DL145 Server User Guide

Rack Warnings and Cautions

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage, be sure 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 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: Always mount the heaviest item on the bottom of the rack and work from the bottom to the top.

Installing Hardware Options

Install any hardware options before initializing the server. For options installation information, refer to the option documentation. For server-specific information, refer to Chapter 4, “Hardware Options Installation.”

Installing the Server into the Rack

If you are installing the server into a telco rack, order the appropriate option kit at the RackSolutions.com website. Follow the server specific instructions on the website to install the rack brackets. After installing the brackets, follow the steps in this section.

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

WARNING: 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.
