HP BladeSystem C7000 Enclosure PDF Setup and Installation Guide

HP BladeSystem servers draw cool air in through the front and expel warm air through the rear of the enclosure. Therefore, the front of the rack enclosure must be adequately ventilated to enable ambient room air to enter the enclosure, and the rear of the enclosure must be adequately ventilated to enable the warm air to escape from the enclosure

If the front of the rack is not completely filled with components, the remaining gaps between the components can cause changes in the airflow, which can adversely affect cooling within the rack. Cover these gaps with blanking panels In high density configurations, the HP 10000 Series Rack Airflow Optimization Kit (AF090A) should be installed to prevent airflow from the rear of the rack to the front the rack via gaps in the rack frame.
HP 10000 Series and 10000 G2 Series racks provide proper server cooling from flow-through perforations in the front and rear doors that provide 65 percent open area for ventilation

To ensure continued safe and reliable equipment operation, install or position the rack in a well ventilated, climate-controlled environment.
The operating temperature inside the rack is always higher than the room temperature and is dependent on the configuration of equipment in the rack. Check the TMRA for each piece of equipment before installation

Installation of this equipment must comply with local and regional electrical regulations governing the installation of IT 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

This equipment 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 this equipment, HP 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 to supply power to this equipment is not recommended..
