Selecting a Site
Make sure that the installation area you select has the following features:
■ A sturdy, level site that includes dedicated and properly grounded
(earthed) circuits, air conditioning, and ESD protection
■ 7.6 cm (3.0 inches) clearance on all sides of tower server for proper
ventilation
IMPORTANT: See the following section, “Installing the Rack Server,” for clearance
specifications if you are installing the ProLiant ML330 Generation 2 server into a rack.
■ A separate electrical circuit for the server
CAUTION: Protect the server from power fluctuations and temporary
interruptions with a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS). This device
protects the hardware from damage caused by power surges and voltage spikes
and keeps the system in operation during a power failure.
To purchase a UPS, contact your local Compaq authorized reseller or
visit the Compaq website at

Refer to Appendix F, “Specifications,” for detailed power and temperature
requirements.
