Mounts in HP 10000 and 9000 series, HP System-E, as well as third-party, and Telco racks. Rack

Rack Airflow

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

Requirements

efficiency for rack-mounted blade PCs. The HP 10000 Series Racks provide enhanced airflow for

 

maximum cooling, allowing these racks to be fully loaded with blade PCs 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 rack includes closing front and rear doors, you must allow

 

5,350 square 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: Please consult the Setup & Installation Guide for the blade PC for additional details.
