Rack Airflow Requirements Rack 10000 series Cabinets

The increasing power of new high-performance processor technology requires increased cooling efficiency for rack-mounted servers. The 10000 Series Racks provide enhanced airflow for maximum cooling, allowing these racks to be fully loaded with servers using the latest processors.
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 5,350 sq 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: 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: www.hp.com/servers/dl785.
Rack Mounting Requirements HP ProLiant DL785 G5 rack models provide tool-free support for racks with square or round mounting holes (including Compaq/HP 7000, 9000, 10000, HP/E series, H9 series and third party racks) with an adjustment range from 24" - 36" in depth. The ambidextrous cable management arm can be mounted on either the left or right side for improved cable management.

HP ProLiant DL785 G5 in Telco Racks Support for all 2-post Telco racks requires the use of the standard rack kit and an additional option kit from Rack Solutions (http://www.racksolutions.com/hp/)
