Rack Airflow

Rack 10000 series Cabinets

Requirements

The increasing power of new high-performance processor technology requires increased cooling

efficiency for rack-mounted servers. The 10000 Series Racks provide enhanced airflow for

maximum cooling, allowing these racks to be fully loaded with servers using the latest

processors.

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 830 square inches (5,350 sq cm) 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 2.75 inches (7 cm).

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: www.hp.com/servers/dl380.

Rack Kit

The HP ProLiant DL380 quick deploy rail system provides tool-free support for racks with square

or round mounting holes (including Compaq/HP 7000*, 9000, 10000 and HP series), with an

adjustment range of 24" - 36". The ambidextrous cable management arm can be mounted on

either the left or right side for improved cable management.

NOTE: Cable management arm must be removed to access hot-plug power supplies when the

cable management arm is mounted on the right.

*NOTE: High Airflow Inserts (High Air Flow Rack Door Insert for the 7142 Rack (single) - PN:

327281-B21; or High Air Flow Rack Door Insert for the 7142 Rack (6-pack) - PN: 327281-B22)

are required to support the HP ProLiant DL380 G5 in 7000 series racks. The DL380 G5 Cable

Management Arm is not supported on 7000 series racks.
