Operating Environment Requirements
Your environmental control system must provide intake air for the server that
complies with the limits specified in “Environmental Specifications” on page 2.
To avoid overheating, do not direct warm air toward these areas of the server:
■ The front air intake of the server
■ The server access panels
Note – When you receive your server, place it in the environment in which you will
install it. Leave the server in its shipping crate at its final destination for 24 hours.
This resting period prevents thermal shock and condensation.
Operating computer equipment in extreme temperatures or humidity conditions
increases the failure rate of hardware components. To minimize the chance of
component failure, use the server within the optimal temperature and humidity
ranges.
Related Information
■ “Environmental Specifications” on page 2
Electrical Power
Connect each power supply to a separate circuit if possible. This redundancy enables
the server to remain operational if one of the circuits fails. Consult your local
electrical codes for any additional requirements.

■ “Power Source Requirements” on page 3
Optimal Ambient Temperature
An ambient temperature range of 69.8˚F (21˚C) to 73.4˚F (23˚C) is optimal for server
reliability. At 71.6˚F (22˚C) it is easy to maintain safe relative humidity levels.
Operating in this temperature range provides a buffer if the environmental support
systems fail.
Related Information
■ “Operating Environment Requirements” on page 6
Optimal Ambient Relative Humidity
Ambient relative humidity levels between 45 percent and 50 percent are the most
suitable for data processing operations in order to:
■ Prevent corrosion
■ Provide an operating time buffer in the event of environmental control system
failure
■ Help avoid failures caused by the intermittent interference from static discharges
that occur when relative humidity is too low
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is easily generated and less easily dissipated in areas
where the relative humidity is below 35 percent. ESD risk becomes critical when
levels drop below 30 percent.
Related Information
■ “Operating Environment Requirements” on page 6
Airflow Considerations
Optimize airflow and cooling by reviewing the following list of considerations.
■ Ensure unobstructed airflow through the chassis. The server uses internal blowers
that can achieve a total airflow of 160 CFM in normal operating conditions.
■ Ensure that inlet air enters at the front of the server and exits from the back.
Preparing the Site for Installation 7
■ Ensure that ventilation openings such as cabinet doors, for both the inlet and
exhaust of the server, provide a minimum open area of 35.5 inches
2
(231 cm2)
each. This size is equivalent to a 60 percent open area perforation pattern across
the front and rear area of a server that measures 17.4 inches x 3.4 inches (442 mm
x 87.1 mm). You must evaluate the impact of other open area characteristics that
are more restrictive.
■ Ensure that front and rear clearance of the server allows a minimum of 0.2 inches
(5 mm) at the front of the server and 3.15 inches (80 mm) at the rear of the server
when mounted. These clearance values are based on the inlet and exhaust
impedance (available open area) stated earlier and assume a uniform distribution
of the open area across the inlet and exhaust areas. These values also improve
cooling performance.
Note – 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. You must evaluate these restrictions. Server placement is particularly
important for high-temperature environments.
■ Take care to prevent recirculation of exhaust air within a rack or cabinet.
■ Manage cables to minimize interference with the server exhaust vent.
■ Ensure that air temperature rise through the server is no greater than 68˚F (20˚C).

■ “Optimal Ambient Temperature” on page 7
■ “Optimal Ambient Relative Humidity” on page 7
Heat Dissipation Calculation
To calculate the heat generated by a server so that you can estimate the heat your
cooling system must dissipate, convert the figure for the server’s power requirement
from watts to BTU/hr. A general formula for doing this is to multiply the average
operating power requirement figure in watts by 3.412.
