Planning the Server Installation

HP ProLiant ML530 Generation 2 Server Setup and Installation Guide

2-3

ProLiant servers draw in cool air through the front rack door and expel warm air

through the rear rack door. Therefore, the front and rear rack doors must be

adequately ventilated to enable ambient room air to enter the cabinet, and the rear

door must be adequately ventilated to enable the warm air to escape from the cabinet.

CAUTION:

Do not block the ventilation openings.

When there is any vertical space in the rack not filled by servers or rack components,

the gaps between the components cause changes in airflow through the rack and

across the servers. Cover all gaps with blanks to maintain proper airflow.

Compaq branded 9000 and 10000 Series racks provide proper server cooling from

flow-through perforations in the front and rear rack doors that provide 64 percent

open area for ventilation.

CAUTION:

When using a Compaq branded 7000 Series rack, you must install the

high airflow rack door insert [P/N 327281-B21 (42U) and P/N 157847-B21 (22U)] to

provide proper front-to-back airflow and cooling.

CAUTION:

If a third-party rack is used, observe the following additional

requirements to ensure adequate airflow and to prevent damage to the equipment:

•

Front and rear doors: If your 42U server rack includes closing front and rear

doors, you must allow 5,350 sq cm (830 square inches) of holes evenly

distributed from top to bottom to permit adequate airflow (equivalent to the

required 64 percent open area for ventilation).

•

Side: The clearance between the installed rack component and the side panels

of the rack must be a minimum of 7 cm (2.75 inches).

CAUTION:

Always use blanks to fill empty vertical spaces in the rack. This

arrangement ensures proper airflow. Using a rack without blanks results in improper

cooling that can lead to thermal damage.

Temperature Requirements

To ensure continued safe and reliable equipment operation, install or locate the

system in a well-ventilated, climate-controlled environment.
