Rack Airflow	Rack 9000 and 10000 series Cabinets
Requirements

The increasing power of new high-performance processor technology requires increased cooling efficiency for rack-mounted servers. The Compaq 9000 Series Rack and the new 10000 Series Racks provides enhanced airflow for maximum cooling, allowing these racks to be fully loaded with servers using the latest processors.

Rack 7000 series Cabinets

When installing a server with processors running at speeds of 550 MHz or greater in Compaq Rack 7000 series racks with glass doors (165753-001 (42U), and 163747- 001 (22U)), the new processor technology requires the installation of High Airflow Rack Door Inserts (327281-B21 (42U), 327281-B22 (42U 6 pack), or 157847-B21 (22U)) to promote enhanced airflow for maximum 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 hole 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 blanking panels to fill all remaining empty front panel U-spaces in the rack. This arrangement ensures proper airflow. Using a rack without blanking panels results in improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.

Note: For additional information, refer to the Setup and Installation Guide or the Documentation CD provided with the server, or to the server documentation located in the Support section at the following URL: http://www5.compaq.com/products/servers/proliantml350/index.html
