User Manual

CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of damage to the equipment when installing third-party options:
• Do not permit optional equipment to impede airflow around the server or to increase the internal rack
temperature beyond the maximum allowable limits.
• Do not exceed the manufacturer’s TMRA.
Power requirements
Installation of this equipment must comply with local and regional electrical regulations governing the
installation of information technology equipment by licensed electricians. This equipment is designed to
operate in installations covered by NFPA 70, 1999 Edition (National Electric Code) and NFPA-75, 1992 (code
for Protection of Electronic Computer/Data Processing Equipment). For electrical power ratings on options,
refer to the product rating label or the user documentation supplied with that option.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not overload the AC supply
branch circuit that provides power to the rack. Consult the electrical authority having jurisdiction over
wiring and installation requirements of your facility.
CAUTION:
Protect the server from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a regulating uninterruptible
power supply. This device protects the hardware from damage caused by power surges and voltage
spikes and keeps the system in operation during a power failure.
Electrical grounding requirements
The server must be grounded properly for proper operation and safety. In the United States, you must install
the equipment in accordance with NFPA 70, 1999 Edition (National Electric Code), Article 250, as well as any
local and regional building codes. In Canada, you must install the equipment in accordance with Canadian
Standards Association, CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code. In all other countries, you must install the
equipment in accordance with any regional or national electrical wiring codes, such as the International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Code 364, parts 1 through 7. Furthermore, you must be sure that all
power distribution devices used in the installation, such as branch wiring and receptacles, are listed or
certified grounding-type devices.
Because of the high ground-leakage currents associated with multiple servers connected to the same power
source, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends the use of a PDU that is either permanently wired to the
building’s branch circuit or includes a nondetachable cord that is wired to an industrial-style plug. NEMA
locking-style plugs or those complying with IEC 60309 are considered suitable for this purpose. Using
common power outlet strips for the server is not recommended.
Server warnings and cautions
WARNING:
This server is heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment:
• Observe local occupational health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual material
handling.
• Get help to lift and stabilize the product during installation or removal, especially when the product is
not fastened to the rails. Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that a minimum of two people are
required for all rack server installations. If the server is installed higher than chest level, a third
person may be required to help align the server.
• Use caution when installing the server in or removing the server from the rack; it is unstable when
not fastened to the rails.
