2 Electrical and Environmental Guidelines This chapter provides guidelines for planning and preparing the site. Careful site planning and preparation ensures trouble-free installation and reliable operation of Superdome servers. Factors that may contribute to less than optimal equipment operation are also highlighted. • “Electrical Factors” on page 39 discusses computer room safety, electrical load requirements, power quality, distribution hardware, and system installation guidelines.
Electrical and Environmental Guidelines • 38 “Environmental Elements” on page 44 discusses computer room preparation, cooling and humidity requirements, dust and pollution control, electrostatic discharge prevention, and acoustics.
Electrical and Environmental Guidelines Electrical Factors Electrical Factors Proper design and installation of a power distribution system for a Superdome server requires specialized skills. Those responsible for this task must have a thorough knowledge and understanding of appropriate electrical codes and the limitations of the power systems for computer and data processing equipment. In general, a well-designed power distribution system exceeds the requirements of most electrical codes.
Electrical and Environmental Guidelines Electrical Factors The minimum recommended illumination level is 70 foot-candles (756 lumens per square meter) when the light level is measured at 30 inches (76.2 cm) above the floor. Power Quality This equipment is designed to operate over a wide range of voltages and frequencies. It has been tested and shown to comply with EMC Specification EN50082. However, damage can occur if these ranges are exceeded.
Electrical and Environmental Guidelines Electrical Factors Distribution Hardware This section describes wire selection and the types of raceways (electrical conduits) used in the distribution system. Wire size is dictated by circuit breaker sizing and local safety codes. Wire Selection Use copper conductors instead of aluminum, as aluminum’s coefficient of expansion differs significantly from that of other metals used in power hardware.
Electrical and Environmental Guidelines Electrical Factors Main Building Electrical Ground The main electrical service entrance equipment should have an earth ground connection, as required by applicable codes. Connections such as a grounding rod, building steel, or a conductive type cold water service pipe provide an earth ground.
Electrical and Environmental Guidelines Electrical Factors Wiring connections must be properly torqued. Many equipment manufacturers specify the proper connection torque values for their hardware. Ground connections must only be made on a conductive, nonpainted surface. Lockwashers must be used on all connections to prevent connection hardware from working loose. Data Communications Cables Power transformers and heavy foot traffic create high energy fields.
Electrical and Environmental Guidelines Environmental Elements Environmental Elements The following environmental elements can affect a Superdome server installation: • Computer room preparation • Cooling requirements • Humidity level • Air conditioning ducts • Dust and pollution control • Electrostatic discharge (ESD) prevention • Acoustics (noise reduction) • Zinc whisker control Computer Room Preparation The following guidelines are recommended when preparing a computer room for a Superd

Electrical and Environmental Guidelines Environmental Elements Basic Air Distribution Systems A basic air distribution system includes supply air and return air. An air distribution system should be zoned to deliver an adequate amount of supply air to the cooling air intake vents of the computer system equipment cabinets. Supply air temperature should be maintained within the following parameters: • Ceiling supply system—From 55° F (12.8° C) to 60° F (15.6° C) • Floor supply system—At least 60° F (15.

Electrical and Environmental Guidelines Environmental Elements CAUTION Low humidity contributes to undesirably high levels of electrostatic charges. This increases the electrostatic discharge (ESD) voltage potential. ESD can cause component damage during servicing operations. Paper feed problems on high-speed printers are usually encountered in low-humidity environments. Low humidity levels are often the result of the facility heating system and occur during the cold season.
Electrical and Environmental Guidelines Environmental Elements Special precautions are necessary if the computer room is near a source of air pollution. Some air pollutants, especially hydrogen sulfide (H2S), are not only unpleasant but corrosive as well. Hydrogen sulfide damages wiring and delicate sound equipment. The use of activated charcoal filters reduces this form of air pollution. Zinc Particulate Contamination Metallic particulates can be especially harmful around electronic equipment.
Electrical and Environmental Guidelines Environmental Elements Static Protection Measures Follow these precautions to minimize possible ESD-induced failures in the computer room: • Install conductive flooring (conductive adhesive must be used when laying tiles). • Use conductive wax (if waxed floors are necessary). • Ensure that all equipment and flooring are properly grounded and are at the same ground potential. • Use conductive tables and chairs.

E Superdome Configurations Table E-1 shows Superdome power requirements by configuration (i.e. number of cell boards, amount of memory per cell, and number of I/O chassis). This requirement applies to 32-way-capable systems with PA8600 or PA8700 processors.
Superdome Configurations There are two columns of power numbers (Watts). The Power Breaker column shows the power used to size the wall breaker at the installation site. The Typical Power column shows typical power. Typical power numbers are for PA8600 systems and may be used to assess average utility cost of cooling and electrical power. Expect these typical numbers to be about 18% less for PA8700 systems. Table E-1 also shows the recommended breaker sizes for 4-wire and 5-wire sources.
Superdome Configurations b. An input power source supplied from a 3-pole plus protective earth (PE), 4-wire system will always be wired as 240 volts phase-to-phase, no neutral or common, plus a PE ground. Three phase input voltage (240VAC) to the equipment is connected phase-to-phase. Examples of 4 wire: 200-volt phase-to-phase, 208-volt phase-to-phase, 240-volt phase-to-phase c.
