The Optimum Environment
When installing your Compaq ProLiant ML370 server in a rack, certain power
requirements must be met.
Power Requirements
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 your facility
wiring and installation requirements.
The power load needs to 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.
If power strips are used, the load should not exceed 80 percent of the
marked electrical current rating.
The installation of this equipment shall be in accordance with local and
regional electrical regulations governing the installation of Information
Technology Equipment by licensed electricians. This equipment is designed to
operate in installations covered by the National Electric Code
(ANSI/NFPA 70, 1993) and the code for Protection of Electronic
Computer/Data Processing Equipment (NFPA-75, 1992).
For electrical power ratings on options, refer to the product’s rating label or
the user documentation supplied with that option.
Grounding
For proper operation and safety, this equipment must be properly grounded in
accordance with NFPA 70-1993, Article 250. All power distribution devices,
branch wiring, and receptacles must be "Listed" grounding type devices.
When using power strips for electrical distribution, ensure that ground
integrity is maintained for each connection made. Plug each component into a
reliably grounded outlet.
