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: 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: 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: 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
Rack Mounting
Requirements
Tool-free support for racks with square mounting holes (including Compaq/HP 7000, 9000, 10000
and H9 series), with an adjustment range of 24"– 36".
