Input Power Information
The total input power for the server is divided equally among the power supplies in
operation. Reversing the positive and negative inputs to the power supplies of a DC
input server will not cause damage. However, the power supplies with reversed
input will not operate.
The inputs to a power supply are isolated from the server chassis and the other
power supply inputs. The AC or DC power inputs might be at different voltages
within the acceptable range and might have different offset voltages relative to the
server chassis.
Note – The server does not require an additional surge protector for the AC power
configurations if the facility has a surge protector that limits voltage surges to less
than 2000V. You can, however, install a surge protector if your site requires an
additional protector.
Note – Safety agency requirements prohibit Oracle Corporation from changing a
product from AC input to DC input or from DC input to AC input after the product
has been removed from the agency approved manufacturing site.

Overcurrent Protection Requirements
This product does not provide branch circuit overcurrent protection as defined by the
U.S. NEC. To comply with the U.S. NEC, you must install this product on branch
circuits that have overcurrent protection as defined by Article 240 of the U.S. NEC.
■ Product power inputs with a current ratings of 16A or less must have a branch
circuit, or a supplementary overcurrent protection device, rated at no more than
20A.
■ Product power inputs with current ratings of more than 16A must have a branch
circuit, or a supplementary overcurrent protection device, rated at no more than
160% of the product input current rating.
■ Other national or local electrical codes might apply to the installation of this
product.
As a general guideline, overcurrent protection devices should be rated at a minimum
of 125% of the product input current rating in order to provide reliable power under
high temperature and transient voltage disturbance conditions. However, you must
consider the characteristics of the protection device and the applicable electrical
codes when selecting the rating of a protection device for the product installation.
Note – Overcurrent protection devices must meet applicable national and local
electrical safety codes, and be approved for the intended application.

DC Power Source, Power Connection,
and Grounding Requirements
The server power source and connections must meet the following requirements.
Note – The DC version of the server must be installed in a restricted-access location.
According to the intent of the U.S. NEC, a restricted-access location is an area
intended for qualified or trained personnel only and has access controlled by a
locking mechanism, such as a key lock or an access card system.
Caution – The DC power source must be reliably grounded. The server chassis must
be grounded with the power supply ground pins or with the chassis ground studs. It
is acceptable to have both grounds connected.
Caution – You must restrict the connection of the server to the DC power source to
minimize the possibility that transient energy will appear on the main input to the
equipment. The DC battery power source must be in the same premises as the server.
The server cannot be in one building with the power source in another building.
■ Suitable conductor material: Use copper conductors only.
■ Power supply connections through the input connector: 12 AWG (between the
server and the source). There are three conductors:
■ -48V or -60V (negative terminal, might be marked with a minus (-) symbol).
■ Chassis ground connection (optional if chassis ground wire is connected).
■ -48V or -60V return (positive terminal, might be marked with a plus (+)
symbol).
■ Server chassis ground 12 AWG conductor (optional if power supply grounds are
connected).
■ Grounding cable insulation color: Green/yellow.
■ Cable insulation rating: Minimum of 167˚F (75˚C). Low smoke fume, flame
retardant insulation might be required in some installations.)
■ Use mating connectors, Wago part number 721-103/037-000, for proper connection
to the product DC inputs. Connectors are included in the server’s shipping kit.
■ Branch circuit cable insulation color: According to applicable national electrical
codes.

Airflow Clearance
Note – Proper airflow into and out of the server is essential for keeping the server’s
internal temperatures within a safe operating range.
16 Netra Server X3-2 Installation Guide • May 2013
Page 25
The server draws cool air from the front of the server and expels hot air out the rear.
Prevent overheating the server by following these guidelines:
■ Ensure that inlet air enters at the front of the server and exits from the back.
■ Ensure unobstructed airflow through the server.
■ Do not direct warm air toward the front air intake of the server.
■ Prevent recirculation of exhaust air within a rack or cabinet.
■ Manage cables to minimize interfering with the server exhaust vent.
■ Ensure that the server ventilation openings used for intake and outflow of air
provide an open area that is at least 60% of the open area perforations across the
front and rear of the server.
■ Allow a minimum of 0.2 in. (5 mm) clearance at the front of the system and 3.1 in.
(80 mm) at the rear of the server when mounted. These clearance values are based
on the preceding inlet and exhaust impedance (available open area) and assume a
uniform distribution of the open area across the inlet and exhaust areas. Clearance
values greater than these are recommended for improved cooling performance.
Note – Be mindful that the combination of inlet and exhaust restrictions, such as
cabinet doors and the spacing of the server from the doors, can affect the cooling
performance of the server.

ESD Precautions
Electronic equipment is susceptible to damage by static electricity. Use a grounded
antistatic wrist strap, foot strap, or equivalent safety equipment to prevent ESD when
you install or service the server.
Caution – To protect electronic components from electrostatic damage, which can
permanently disable the server or require repair by service technicians, place
components on an antistatic surface, such as an antistatic discharge mat, an antistatic
bag, or a disposable antistatic mat. Wear an antistatic grounding strap connected to a
metal surface on the chassis when you work on server components.

Rack Cautions
Caution – Equipment Loading. Always load equipment into a rack from the bottom
up so that the rack does not become top-heavy and tip over. Deploy your rack’s
antitip bar to prevent the rack from tipping during equipment installation.
Caution – Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature. If the server is installed in a
closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack
environment might be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, install the
equipment only in an environment compatible with the Tma specified for the server.
Caution – Reduced Air Flow. Install the equipment in a rack so that the amount of
air flow is adequate for the safe operation of the equipment.
Caution – Mechanical Loading. Mount the equipment in the rack so that the weight
is distributed evenly. A hazardous condition can exist with uneven mechanical
loading.
Caution – Circuit Overloading. Do not overload the power supply circuits. Before
connecting the server to the supply circuit, review the equipment nameplate power
ratings and consider the effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent
protection and supply wiring.
Preparing for Installation 23
Page 32
Caution – Reliable Grounding. Maintain reliable grounding of rackmounted
equipment. Give particular attention to supply connections other than direct
connections to the branch circuit (for example, use of power strips).
Caution – Do not use slide rail mounted equipment as a shelf or a work space.

▼ Stabilize the Rack
Caution – To reduce the risk of personal injury, stabilize the rack cabinet and extend
all antitilt devices before installing the server.
Refer to your rack documentation for detailed instructions for the following steps.
Note – In this document, the term rack means either an open rack or a closed cabinet.
1. Open and remove the front and rear doors from the rack cabinet.
2. To prevent the rack cabinet from tipping during the installation, stabilize the
cabinet using all antitilt mechanisms provided.
3. If there are leveling feet beneath the rack cabinet to prevent it from rolling,
extend these leveling feet fully downward to the floor.
4. Fully extend the rack cabinet’s antitilt legs or antitilt bar, which are located at
the bottom front of the rack cabinet.

▼ Connect AC Power Cords
Caution – As soon as the power cables are connected to the power source, the server
goes into Standby mode and the Oracle ILOM SP initializes.
Caution – Do not operate the server unless all fans, component heatsinks, air
baffles, and the top cover are installed. Severe damage to server components can
occur if the server is operated without adequate cooling mechanisms.
The SP runs on the 3.3V standby voltage. As soon as power is connected to the
system, the SP powers on, runs diagnostics, and initializes the Oracle ILOM
firmware.
Note – If you do not connect a serial terminal or a terminal emulator, you will not
see the system messages.
1. Ensure that you have a connection to the SP.
See “Cable the SP” on page 81.
Note – The server goes into Standby mode and the service processor initializes as
soon as the AC power cord is connected to the power source. By having a connection
to the SP, you can view and interact with the initialization process.
2. (Optional for AC models) Connect the chassis ground studs to earth ground.
See “Connect the Chassis Ground Wire” on page 94.
3. Route the AC power cords from the AC power source (for example, a power
distribution unit) to the rear of the server.
Use two power connections on separate circuits for redundancy.
4. Connect the AC power cords to both power supplies.
