Rack Airflow
Requirements
Rack 9000 and 10000 series Cabinets
The increasing power of new high-performance processor technology requires increased
cooling efficiency for rack-mounted servers. The Compaq 9000 and 10000 Series Racks
provide enhanced airflow for maximum cooling, allowing these racks to be fully loaded with
servers using the latest processors.
Rack 7000 series Cabinets
When installing a server with processors running at speeds of 550 MHz or greater in
Compaq Rack 7000 series racks with glass doors (165753-001 (42U), and 163747-001
(22U)), the new processor technology requires the installation of High Airflow Rack Door
Inserts 327281-B21 (42U), 327281-B22 (42U 6 pack), or 157847-B21 (22U)) to promote
enhanced airflow for maximum cooling.
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 server rack includes closing front and rear doors,
you must allow 830 square inches (5,350 sq cm) 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 2.75 inches (7 cm).
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.
NOTE:
For additional information, refer to the Setup and Installation Guide or the Documentation
CD provided with the server, or to the server documentation located in the Support section at the
following URL:
