HP ProLiant SL160z Generation 6 (G6)

Standard Features

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

 

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: www.hp.com/servers/SL160.
