2 General Site Preparation Guidelines The following information provides general principles and practices to consider before the installation or operation of an HP 9000 rp4410 or HP 9000 rp4440 server. Electrical Factors NOTE Electrical practices and suggestions in this guide are based on North American practices. For regions and areas outside North America, local electrical codes will take precedence over North American electrical codes.
General Site Preparation Guidelines Electrical Factors Most computer room installations are equipped with the following fire protection devices: • Smoke detectors • Fire and temperature alarms • Fire extinguishing system Additional safety devices are: • Circuit breakers • An emergency power cutoff switch • Devices specific to the geographic location, such as, earthquake protection Lighting Requirements for Equipment Servicing Adequate lighting and utility outlets in a computer room reduce the po
General Site Preparation Guidelines Electrical Factors Sources of Voltage Fluctuations Voltage fluctuations, sometimes called glitches, affect the quality of electrical power.
General Site Preparation Guidelines Electrical Factors Raceway Systems (Electrical Conduits) (LAHJ) Raceways (electrical conduits) form part of the protective ground path for personnel and equipment. Raceways protect the wiring from accidental damage and also provide a heatsink for the wires.
General Site Preparation Guidelines Electrical Factors NOTE The green wire ground conductor mentioned above may be a black wire marked with green tape (LAHJ). Computer Safety Ground Ground all computer equipment with the green (green and yellow) wire included in the branch circuitry. The green (green and yellow) wire ground conductors should be connected to the appropriate power panel and should be sized per applicable codes (based on circuit over current device ratings).
General Site Preparation Guidelines Electrical Factors • Better— A grounded #6 AWG minimum copper wire grid mechanically clamped to floor pedestals and properly bonded to the building or site ground • Good—Use the raised floor structure as a ground grid. In this case, the floor must be designed as a ground grid with bolted down stringers and corrosion resistive plating (to provide low resistance and attachment points for connection to service entrance ground and HP computer equipment).
General Site Preparation Guidelines Electrical Factors Equipment Grounding Implementation Details Connect all HP equipment cabinets to the site ground grid as follows: Step 1. Attach one end of each ground strap to the applicable cabinet ground lug. Step 2. Attach the other end to the nearest pedestal base (raised floor) or cable trough ground point (nonraised floor). Step 3. Check that the braid contact on each end of the ground strap consists of a terminal and connection hardware (a 1/4-in. [6.
General Site Preparation Guidelines Environmental Elements Environmental Elements The following environmental elements can affect an HP 9000 rp4410 or HP 9000 rp4440 server installation: • Computer room preparation • Cooling requirements • Humidity level • Air conditioning ducts • Dust and pollution control • Electrostatic discharge (ESD) prevention • Acoustics (noise reduction) Computer Room Preparation The following guidelines are recommended when preparing a computer room for installation
General Site Preparation Guidelines Environmental Elements • Reheating • Air distribution • System controls adequate to maintain the computer room within specified operating ranges Lighting and personnel must also be included. For example, a person dissipates about 450 BTUs per hour while performing a typical computer room task.
General Site Preparation Guidelines Environmental Elements Perforated floor panels (available from the raised floor manufacturer) should be located around the front of the system cabinets.
General Site Preparation Guidelines Environmental Elements Specifically, disk drives, tape drives, and some other mechanical devices can have bearing failures resulting from airborne abrasive particles. Dust may also blanket electronic components like printed circuit boards, causing premature failure due to excess heat and humidity build up on the boards. Other failures to power supplies and other electronic components can be caused by metallically conductive particles, including zinc whiskers.
General Site Preparation Guidelines Environmental Elements Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Prevention Static charges (voltage levels) occur when objects are separated or rubbed together.
