Temperature Requirements
To ensure continued safe and reliable operation of the equipment, install the
system in a well-ventilated, climate-controlled environment.
The Compaq Maximum Recommended Ambient Operating Temperature
(TMRA) for most server products is 95°F (35°C). The temperature in the room
where the rack is located should not exceed 95°F (35°C).
The operating temperature inside the rack will always be higher than the room
temperature, and is dependent on the configuration of equipment in your rack.
The TMRA for each piece of equipment should be checked before installation.
The maximum internal rack temperature for your configuration should not
exceed the values shown in Table 2-2.
Table 2-2

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to the equipment when installing third-
party options:
■ Ensure that the optional equipment does not impede airflow to the Rack-
Mountable ProLiant DL760 servers or increase the internal rack
temperature beyond the Compaq specified maximum rating.
■ Ensure that the Manufacturer’s Maximum Recommended Ambient
Operating Temperature of the optional equipment is not exceeded when
installed in the rack.
