Rack Airflow Requirements

Rack 9000 and 10000 series Cabinets
The increasing power of new high-performance processor technology requires increased cooling efficiency for rack-
mounted servers. The 9000 and 10000 Series Racks provide enhanced airflow for maximum cooling, allowing these
racks to be fully loaded with servers using the latest processors.

Rack 7000 series Cabinets
When installing a server with processors running at speeds of 550 MHz or greater in Compaq Rack 7000 series racks
with glass doors (165753-001 (42U), and 163747-001 (22U)), the new processor technology requires the
installation of High Airflow Rack Door Inserts (327281-B21 (42U), 327281-B22 (42U 6 pack), or 157847-B21
(22U)) to promote enhanced airflow for maximum cooling.

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:
