Estimating the configuration CG requires measuring the CG of the cabinet the product will be installed in. Use the following formula: ΣdcomponentW = dsystem cgW where dcomponent= the distance of interest and W = Weight The distance of a component is its CG's distance from the inside base of the cabinet. For example, if a loaded disk enclosure is to be installed into the cabinet with its bottom at 10U, the distance for the enclosure would be (10*1.75)+2.7 inches.

Components vented to discharge airflow from the sides must discharge to the rear of the cabinet. Rack Airflow Requirements The following requirements must be met to ensure adequate airflow and to prevent damage to the equipment: • If the rack includes closing front and rear doors, allow 830 square inches (5,350 sq cm) of hole evenly distributed from top to bottom to permit adequate airflow (equivalent to the required 64 percent open area for ventilation). • For side vented components, the clearance between the installed rack component and the side panels of the rack must be a minimum of 2.75 inches (7 cm). • Always use blanking panels to fill all empty front panel U-spaces in the rack. This ensures proper airflow. Using a rack without blanking panels results in improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage. Configuration Standards EVA configurations are designed considering cable length, configuration CG, serviceability and accessibility, and to allow for easy expansion of the system. If at all possible, it is best to configure non HP cabinets in a like manner. Environmental and operating specifications This section identifies the product environmental and operating specifications. NOTE: Further testing is required to update the information in Tables 45-47. Once testing is complete, these tables will be updated in a future release. UPS Selection This section provides information that can be used when selecting a UPS for use with the EVA. The four HP UPS products listed in Table 24 (page 108) are available for use with the EVA and are Environmental and operating specifications 107
