Rack Temperature Requirements
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 in the following table:
Table 3-1
Rack Internal Temperature Maximums
Equipment Included Maximum InternalRack Temperature
Rack-Mountable ProLiant Servers 50°C/122°F
Compaq Rack-Mountable options 40°C/104°F
Other manufacturers' options See other manufacturers' specifications
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to the equipment
when installing third-party options:
■ Ensure that the option equipment does not impede airflow to
the Rack-Mountable ProLiant 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 option equipment is
not exceeded when installed in the rack.
