HP Netserver LPr Installation Guide

Chapter 9 Mounting the Server in the Rack

• Air Flow. As you mount equipment in the rack, make sure that you allow

enough air flow for safe operation of the equipment.

• Mechanical Loading. Uneven mechanical loading within the rack can

cause hazardous conditions. Plan the placement of equipment in the rack

to make sure that this problem does not occur. Mount the heaviest

components in the bottom of the rack.

• Circuit Overloading. Make sure that the total configuration of equipment

in the rack does not overload the supply circuit. To this end, check the

nameplate ratings on all equipment. Consider the effect of circuit

overloading on over-current protection and supply wiring.

• Reliable Earthing (Grounding). Maintain reliable earthing (grounding)

of rack-mounted equipment. Give particular attention to supply

connections that are not direct connections to the branch circuit (the use

of power strips, for example).
