Server Setup Tower Server Optimum Environment When installing a tower model server, select a location that meets the following environmental standards: • A sturdy, level site that includes dedicated and properly grounded (earthed) circuits, air conditioning, and ESD protection • 7.6-cm (3.0-in) clearance on all sides of the tower server for proper ventilation • A separate electrical circuit for the server CAUTION: Protect the server from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS). This device protects the hardware from damage caused by power surges and voltage spikes and keeps the server in operation during a power failure. To purchase a UPS, contact a local authorized reseller or refer to the HP website (www.hp.com/products/ups). For detailed power and temperature requirements, refer to Appendix E, "Server Specifications."
