System Specifications Environmental Specifications Environmental Specifications This section provides the temperature/humidity requirements, noise emission, and air flow specifications for the HP Server. Temperature and Humidity Specifications Ambient intake air temperature is often different from ambient room temperature; you should measure the operating temperature and humidity directly in front of the cabinet cooling air intakes rather than just checking ambient room conditions.

2 General Site Preparation Guidelines The following information provides general principles and practices to consider before the installation or operation of an hp Integrity rx5670. 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 • 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 i.e., earthquake protection Lighting Requirements for Equipment Servicing Adequate lighting and utility outlets in a computer room reduce the possibility of accidents during equipment servicing.
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 Power System Protection The hp Integrity rx5670 can be protected from the sources of many of these electrical disturbances by using: • A dedicated power distribution system • Power conditioning equipment • Over- and under-voltage detection and protection circuits • Screening to cancel out the effects of undesirable transmissions • Lightning arresters on power cables to protect equipment against electrical storms Precautions have been taken dur
General Site Preparation Guidelines Electrical Factors Grounding Systems IT Power System This product has not been evaluated for connection to an IT power system (an AC distribution system having no direct connection to earth according to IEC 60950).
General Site Preparation Guidelines Electrical Factors NOTE In some cases power distribution system green (green/yellow) wire ground conductors are too long and inductive to provide adequate high frequency ground return paths. Therefore, a ground strap (customer-supplied) should be used for connecting the system cabinet to the site grounding grid (customer-supplied). When connecting this ground, ensure that the raised floor is properly grounded for high frequency.
General Site Preparation Guidelines Electrical Factors Raised Floor “High Frequency Noise” Grounding If a raised floor system is used, install a complete signal grounding grid for maintaining equal potential over a broad band of frequencies. The grounding grid should be connected to the equipment cabinet and electrical service entrance ground at multiple connection points using a minimum #6 AWG (16 mm2) wire ground conductor. The following figure illustrates a metallic strip grounding system.

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 Integrity rx5670 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 an hp Integrity rx5670: • Locate
General Site Preparation Guidelines Environmental Elements • 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. At altitudes above 10,000 feet (3048 m), the lower air density reduces the cooling capability of air conditioning systems.
General Site Preparation Guidelines Environmental Elements • Underfloor air distribution system—Downflow air conditioning equipment located on the raised floor of the computer room uses the cavity beneath the raised floor as a plenum for the supply air. Return air from an underfloor air distribution system can be ducted return air (DRA) above the ceiling. 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 Dust and Pollution Control Computer equipment can be adversely affected by dust and microscopic particles in the site environment. 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/or humidity build up on the boards.
General Site Preparation Guidelines Environmental Elements Although this problem is relatively rare, it may be an issue within your computer room. Since metallic contamination can cause permanent or intermittent failures on your electronic equipment, Hewlett-Packard strongly recommends that your site be evaluated for metallic particulate contamination before installation of electronic equipment. ESD Prevention Static charges (voltage levels) occur when objects are separated or rubbed together.
General Site Preparation Guidelines Environmental Elements • Dropped ceiling—Cover with a commercial grade of fire-resistant, acoustic rated, fiberglass ceiling tile. • Sound deadening—Cover the walls with curtains or other sound deadening material. • Removable partitions—Use foam rubber models for most effectiveness.

This data should be used as the basic guideline for space plan developments. Other factors, such as airflow, lighting, and equipment space requirements must also be considered. Delivery Space Requirements There should be enough clearance to move equipment safely from the receiving area to the computer room.

3 Power Plug Configuration There are several different power cables designed for use with HP Servers. The region the server ships to will determine which power cable ships with the server. The following provides the site preparation specialist with the knowledge of what to expect to receive based on the regional shipping destination. Female End of Power Cable The female end of the power cable is a C15 type plug that mates with the receptacle in each power supply installed in the HP Server.
Power Plug Configuration Male End of Power Cable Male End of Power Cable The male plug on the other end of the power cable will vary depending on the region the HP Server is shipped to. Several examples follow though this list is not meant to be all inclusive.
