Planning the Server Installation Optimum Environment When installing these servers in a rack, select a location that meets the environmental standards described in the following paragraphs. Space and Airflow Requirements To allow for servicing and adequate airflow, observe the following spatial requirements when deciding where to install an HP-branded, Compaq-branded, telco, or third-party rack: • Leave a minimum clearance of 63.5 cm (25 inches) in front of the rack. • Leave a minimum clearance of 76.2 cm (30 inches) in the back of the rack. • Leave a minimum clearance of 121.9 cm (48 inches) from the back of the rack to the rear of another rack or row of racks. The servers draw in cool air through the rack front door and expel warm air through the rack rear door. Therefore, the front and rear rack doors must be adequately ventilated to allow ambient room air to enter the front of the cabinet and warm air to escape from the rear of the cabinet. IMPORTANT: Do not block the ventilation openings. Compaq branded 9000 and 10000 Series racks provide proper server cooling from flow-through perforations in the front and rear doors that provide 64 percent open area for ventilation. CAUTION: When using a Compaq branded 7000 Series rack, the high airflow rack door insert must be installed [P/N 327281-B21 (42U) and P/N 157847-B21 (22U)] to provide proper front-to-back airflow and cooling. CAUTION: When using a Compaq branded 7000 Series rack, an extension kit must be installed to allow sufficient clearance for cabling and cabling hardware at the back.

Optimum Environment
When installing these servers in a rack, select a location that meets the environmental
standards described in the following paragraphs.
Space and Airflow Requirements
To allow for servicing and adequate airflow, observe the following spatial
requirements when deciding where to install an HP-branded, Compaq-branded, telco,
or third-party rack:
•
Leave a minimum clearance of 63.5 cm (25 inches) in front of the rack.
•
Leave a minimum clearance of 76.2 cm (30 inches) in the back of the rack.
•
Leave a minimum clearance of 121.9 cm (48 inches) from the back of the rack to
the rear of another rack or row of racks.
The servers draw in cool air through the rack front door and expel warm air through
the rack rear door. Therefore, the front and rear rack doors must be adequately
ventilated to allow ambient room air to enter the front of the cabinet and warm air to
escape from the rear of the cabinet.
IMPORTANT:
Do not block the ventilation openings.
Compaq branded 9000 and 10000 Series racks provide proper server cooling from
flow-through perforations in the front and rear doors that provide 64 percent open
area for ventilation.
CAUTION:
When using a Compaq branded 7000 Series rack, the high airflow rack
door insert must be installed [P/N 327281-B21 (42U) and P/N 157847-B21 (22U)] to
provide proper front-to-back airflow and cooling.
CAUTION:
When using a Compaq branded 7000 Series rack, an extension kit must
be installed to allow sufficient clearance for cabling and cabling hardware at the
back. Refer to
www.compaq.com/quickspecs
for part numbers and ordering
information.
