Server Installation 2-3 Space Requirements Consider the following items when deciding where to install your Compaq rack: s Clearance in the front of the rack should be a minimum of 25 inches for servicing. s Clearance in the back of the rack should be a minimum of 30 inches to allow for servicing and for adequate airflow. 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. IMPORTANT: Because of the 100 to 208 VAC electrical rating of each power supply, some local electrical authorities may require either one 15-Ampere circuit for each power supply or one 20-Ampere circuit for each pair of power supplies. s The power load needs to be balanced between available AC supply branch circuits. s The overall system AC current load must not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit AC current rating. s If power strips are used, the load should not exceed 80 percent of the power strip's marked electrical current rating. The installation of this equipment shall be in accordance with Local/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, 1999) and the code for Protection of Electronic Computer/Data Processing Equipment (ANSI/NFPA 75, 1999). For electrical power ratings on options, refer to the product's rating label or user documentation supplied with that option.

Space Requirements
Consider the following items when deciding where to install your Compaq
rack:
■
Clearance in the front of the rack should be a minimum of 25 inches for
servicing.
■
Clearance in the back of the rack should be a minimum of 30 inches to
allow for servicing and for adequate airflow.
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.
IMPORTANT:
Because of the 100 to 208 VAC electrical rating of each power supply,
some local electrical authorities may require either one 15-Ampere circuit for each power
supply or one 20-Ampere circuit for each pair of power supplies.
■
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
power strip's marked electrical current rating.
The installation of this equipment shall be in accordance with Local/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, 1999)
and the code for Protection of Electronic Computer/Data Processing
Equipment (ANSI/NFPA 75, 1999).
For electrical power ratings on options, refer to the product's rating label or
user documentation supplied with that option.
