Rack Airflow Requirements

Rack 10000 series Cabinets
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:

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 830
square inches (5,350 sq cm) 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 2.75 inches (7 cm).

CAUTION:

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:

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:

http://www5.compaq.com/products/servers/ProLiantdl740/index.html

NOTE:

NOTE: Allow a minimum of 48 inches (121.92 cm) clearance beyond the front of your rack to permit server installation
and removal. This applies to both individual rack installations as well as when aligning rack rows so that the front doors
are facing each other.
