Ensuring Proper Environmental Conditions

You should consider the following environmental guidelines for all hardware configuration:

Make sure the rack in which hardware components are installed is open or ventilated. Follow

the ventilation specifications that apply to your system.

Place all components in an air-conditioned environment. All hardware components generate

heat and must be kept cool. See

“Power and Air Conditioning Requirements”

on page 11.

Keep all hardware components in a clean, dust-free location.

Minimize vibration and humidity.

Do not block the vents on the component housing.

Do not drape anything, such as a jacket or a blanket, over hardware components.

Minimize electromagnetic noise by separating digital data and power cables from analog

audio cables and running them in different cable ducts.

Power and Air Conditioning Requirements

The values for power consumption and heat output were recorded on an Autodesk certified
system with all of the required peripheral and certified components.

These values can fluctuate if uncertified hardware components or third-party applications

are added to your system. The use of uncertified hardware components or third-party applications

is not supported. Please consult the manufacturer’s documentation for standardized minimum

and maximum values.

The following table summarizes the power consumed by the HP xw8400 system and the heat it
generates under the maximum processing load produced by your Lustre application. For
detailed specifications, including noise output, see the documentation provided by the
manufacturer.

You must be able to meet the startup power requirement and have a climate control system with
