Maintenance Space Requirements
the movement of cool air between the air conditioner and the cabinet, or the movement of hot
air coming out of the top of the cabinet.
Maintenance Space Requirements
The maintenance area for the rackmounted Oracle Server X7-2 and Oracle Server X7-2L must
have the required access space. The following table lists the maintenance access requirements
for the server when it is installed in a rack.
Location Maintenance Access Requirement
Back of the server 91.4 cm (36 inches)
Area above the rack 91.4 cm (36 inches)
Front of the server 123.2 cm (48.5 inches)
Environmental Requirements
The following table describes the environmental specifications for the servers.
Caution - Set conditions to the optimal temperature and humidity ranges to minimize the
chance of downtime due to component failure. Operating the servers for extended periods at or
near the operating range limits, or installing them in an environment where they remain at or
near nonoperating range limits could significantly increase hardware component failure.
