Chapter 13 Alternative Rack Mounting The HP NetServer rack mount kit requires seven EIA units of space in the rack. Before mounting the server, plan the HP NetServer's location in the rack relative to other rack components. Proper placement is vital both for safety and operating efficiency. For more details, see the Rack Installation Road Map and the HP NetServer LXr 8500 Rack Assembly and Cabling Reference Guide. NOTE If the HP NetServer is completely configured by the vendor before delivery to the customer, then mounting the HP NetServer in the rack may be the final step in the installation procedure. If the vendor configures the HP NetServer at the customer's site, installation of the network operating system and other software may occur after the HP NetServer is mounted in the rack. CAUTION The HP NetServer weighs over 155 pounds. To avoid accidents, remove the HP NetServer's three power supplies before lifting it. If other rack components are to be mounted in the rack below the HP NetServer, install those components before starting to mount the HP NetServer. Safety Precautions Always keep the following safety and environmental issues in mind, especially if you install the HP NetServer in a non-HP rack environment: l Optimum Operating Environment - The optimum operating environment for the HP NetServer LXr 8500 is in an environmentally controlled computer room with a temperature range of 20 to 22°C (68 to 72°F) at 40 to 60% relative humidity. • Maximum Ambient Temperature - Ensure the maximum ambient temperature does not exceed 35°C (95 F). • Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature. - The ambient operating temperature within a closed or multi-unit rack assembly may exceed the room's ambient temperature. Ensure the temperature within the rack itself does not exceed 35°C (95 F). • Reduced Air Flow - As you mount equipment in the rack, ensure you allow enough air flow for safe operation of the equipment.
