Temperature Requirements
To ensure continued safe and reliable operation of the equipment, locate the
system in a well-ventilated, climate-controlled environment.
The operating temperature inside the rack will always be higher than the room
temperature and is dependent on the configuration of the equipment in your
rack.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to the equipment when installing third
party options:
Ensure that the option equipment does not impede airflow to the
ProLiant ML370 rack server or increase the internal rack temperature
beyond the Compaq-specified maximum rating.
Ensure that the manufacturer’s maximum recommended ambient
operating temperature is not exceeded when optional equipment is
installed in the rack.
Airflow Requirements
Compaq rack servers draw cool air in through the front door and expel warm
air out through the rear. Therefore, the front door of the rack must be
adequately ventilated to allow ambient room air to enter the cabinet and the
rear door must be adequately ventilated to allow the warm air to escape from
the cabinet. Do not block the ventilation apertures.
Blanking Panels
If not all of the vertical space in the rack is filled by components, the gaps that
are left will cause a change in airflow through the rack and across the
components. These gaps must be covered with blanking panels.
Installation Sequence
Begin installing your rack model server:
1. Select an appropriate site for your rack. Consult the site selection criteria
for installing rack products included with your Documentation CD.
NOTE: For specific hardware and software installation guidelines, refer to the
Documentation CD and other operational documents shipped with your server or with
appropriate option kits.
2. Unpack the server and rack mounting hardware.
