Requirements
The HP 10000 Series Racks provide enhanced airflow for maximum cooling, allowing these racks to be
fully loaded with blade PCs using the latest processors.
CAUTION:
CAUTION:CAUTION:
CAUTION:
If a third-party rack is used, observe the following additional requirements to ensure
adequate airflow and to prevent damage to the equipment:
Front and rear doors: If your 42U rack includes closing front and rear doors, you must allow
5,350 square cm (830 square inches) of hole evenly distributed from top to bottom to permit
adequate airflow (equivalent to the required 64 percent open area for ventilation).
Side: The clearance between the installed rack component and the side panels of the rack must be
a minimum of 7 cm (2.75 inches).
CAUTION:
CAUTION:CAUTION:
CAUTION:
Always use blanking panels to fill all remaining empty front panel U-spaces in the rack. This
arrangement ensures proper airflow. Using a rack without blanking panels results in improper cooling
that can lead to thermal damage.
