Electrical Considerations
Proper design and installation of a power distribution system for an hp rp7405/rp7410 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. A
good design, when coupled with proper installation practices, produces the most trouble-free operation.
The electrical factors discussed in this section are:
A detailed discussion of power distribution system design and installation is beyond the scope of this
document. However, electrical factors relating to power distribution system design and installation must be
considered during the site preparation process.
• Computer room safety
• Electrical load requirements (circuit breaker sizing)
• Power quality
• Distribution hardware
• System installation guidelines
