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.

Confirming Server and Site Specifications 11

Page 20

Caution – 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.

■ “Airflow Clearance” on page 16

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: 8 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).

Confirming Server and Site Specifications 13

Page 22

■ -48V or -60V return (positive terminal, might be marked with a plus (+)

symbol).

■ Server chassis ground 8 AWG conductor (optional if power supply grounds are

connected).

■ Grounding cable insulation color: Green/yellow.

■ Cable insulation rating: Minimum of 75˚C (167˚F). Low smoke fume, flame

retardant insulation might be required in some installations.)

■ Use mating connectors, Wago part number 51204745, 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.

■ DC power source must meet TNV-2 requirements as defined by UL 60950-1 and

IEC 60950-1.

■ “Airflow Clearance” on page 16

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.

The server draws cool air from the front of the server and expels hot air out the rear. To avoid overheating the server:

■ 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.

16 Netra SPARC T4-1 Server Installation Guide • January 2013

Page 25

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.

Rack Cautions

Caution – Equipment Loading. Always load equipment into a rack from the bottom

up so that the rack will 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 maximum ambient temperature (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.

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).

24 Netra SPARC T4-1 Server Installation Guide • January 2013

Page 33

Caution – Do not use slide rail mounted equipment as a shelf or a work space.

Related Information

■ “Stabilize the Rack for Installation” on page 25

▼ Stabilize the Rack for Installation

Caution – To reduce the risk of personal injury, stabilize the expansion rack cabinet

and extend all antitilt devices before installing the server.

Refer to your rack documentation for detailed instructions for the following steps.

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.

Page 88

▼ Assemble the DC Power Cords

Assemble one DC input power cable for each DC power supply in your server.

1. Install a DC power source that meets the server’s input power specifications.

See “Input Power Information” on page 11.

2. Secure DC power cables that meet the server’s power cabling specifications.

See “DC Power Source, Power Connection, and Grounding Requirements” on

page 13.

3. Turn off power from the DC power source using the circuit breakers.

Caution – Before proceeding with these instructions, turn off the power from the DC

power source through the circuit breakers.

4. Identify the parts that you will use to assemble the DC input power cables.

For each cable, you need a Wago DC input plug, and a cage clamp tool or small screwdriver. These items are provided in the shipping kit that came with your server. See “Shipping Kit” on page 19.

5. Locate the three wires coming from your DC power source that will be used in the connection to your unit.

■ -48V or -60V (negative terminal)

■ Chassis ground

■ -48V or -60V Return (positive terminal)

80 Netra SPARC T4-1 Server Installation Guide • January 2013

Page 89

Note – Depending on the DC power source, the -48V or -60V (negative terminal)

might be marked with a minus (-) symbol. The -48V or -60V Return (positive terminal) might be marked with a positive (+) symbol.

6. Strip 1/2 in. (13 mm) of insulation from each of the wires coming from the DC power source.

Do not strip more than 1/2 in. (13 mm) from each wire. Doing so leaves uninsulated wire exposed from the DC connector after the assembly is complete.

1 1/2 in. (13 mm)

7. Open the cage clamp by inserting the cage clamp tool (or small screwdriver) into the rectangular hole directly above the hole in the DC input plug where you want to insert the first wire, and push in to open the cage clamp.

8. Feed the exposed section of the appropriate wire into the round plug hole in the DC input plug.

Page 91

▼ Prepare the Power Cords

Prepare the power cords by routing them from the power source to the server.

Caution – Do not attach power cables to the power supplies until you first connect

the server to a serial terminal or a terminal emulator (PC or workstation).

Note – The server goes into Standby mode and the Oracle ILOM SP initializes as

soon as a power cable connects a power supply to an external power source. System messages might be lost after 60 seconds if a terminal or terminal emulator is not connected to the SER MGT port before power is applied.

Note – Oracle ILOM will signal a fault if both power supplies are not cabled at the

same time, since that situation will be a nonredundant condition.

1. Ensure that the circuit breakers are off for the AC or DC power source or that the DC input cables are de-energized with no DC power present.

2. Route the power cords from the power source to the rear of the server and secure the cables with nylon tie wraps.

3. Connect the chassis ground wire to the facility ground and ensure that this connection has proper bonding.

4. For DC servers, connect the -48V or -60V Return to the -48V or -60V wires to the circuit breaker.

Caution – Do not close circuit breakers or attach power cables to the power supplies

At this time.

5. Make a serial connection to the SP.

4. Connect a terminal or a terminal emulator (PC or workstation) to the service processor serial management port.

Configure the terminal or terminal emulator with these settings:

■ 9600 baud

■ 8 bits

■ No parity

■ 1 stop bit

■ No handshake

A null modem configuration is needed, meaning the transmit and receive signals are reversed (crossed over) for DTE-to-DTE communications. You can use the supplied RJ-45 crossover adapters with a standard RJ-45 cable to achieve the null modem configuration.

Note – When you power on the server for the first time and you do not have a

terminal or terminal emulator (PC or workstation) connected to the SP SER MGT port, you will not see system messages.

5. Continue with the installation by powering on the server for the first time.
