• Balance the enclosure power load between available AC supply branch circuits. • Do not allow the overall system AC current load to exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit AC current rating. • Do not use common power outlet strips for this equipment. • Provide a separate electrical circuit for each power supply in the enclosure. Electrical grounding requirements The enclosure must be grounded properly for proper operation and safety. In the United States, you must install the equipment in accordance with NFPA 70, 1999 Edition (National Electric Code), Article 250, as well as any local and regional building codes. In Canada, you must install the equipment in accordance with Canadian Standards Association, CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code. In all other countries, you must install the equipment in accordance with any regional or national electrical wiring codes, such as the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Code 364, parts 1 through 7. Furthermore, you must be sure that all power distribution devices used in the installation, such as branch wiring and receptacles, are listed or certified grounding-type devices. Because of the high ground-leakage currents associated with multiple enclosures connected to the same power source, HP recommends the use of a power distribution unit (PDU) that is either permanently wired to the building's branch circuit or includes a nondetachable cord that is wired to an industrial-style plug. NEMA locking-style plugs or those complying with IEC 60309 are considered suitable for this purpose. Using common power outlet strips for the enclosure is not recommended. Rack planning resources The rack resource kit ships with all HP-branded or Compaq-branded 9000, 10000, and H9 Series racks. For more information on the content of each resource, see the rack resource kit documentation. If you intend to deploy and configure multiple servers in a single rack, see the white paper on high-density deployment at the HP website: http://www.hp.com/products/servers/platforms. Rack warnings WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure that: • The leveling jacks are extended to the floor. • The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks. • The stabilizing feet are attached to the rack if it is a single-rack installation. • The racks are coupled together in multiple-rack installations. • Only one component is extended at a time. A rack may become unstable if more than one com- ponent is extended for any reason. 70 Modular Smart Array User Guide 15
