Optimum Environment
Specific requirements for space, power, temperature, and airflow must be met to
provide optimum performance with minimum maintenance for your rack
environment.
Space Requirements
When deciding where to place your rack:
• At least 122 centimeters (48 inches) of clearance is needed all the way around the
pallet and above the rack to allow the removal the packing materials.
• At least 86 centimeters (34 inches) of clearance is needed in front of the rack to
allow the door to open all the way.
• At least 75 centimeters (30 inches) of clearance is needed in the rear of the rack
to provide access to components.
• At least 38 centimeters (15 inches) of clearance is needed around a power supply
to facilitate servicing.
Power Requirements
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, fire, or damage to the
equipment, do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power
to the rack. Consult the electrical authority having jurisdiction over your
facility wiring and installation procedures.
When planning for power distribution requirements for your rack configuration:
• The power load must be balanced between available AC supply branch circuits.
• The overall system AC current load must not exceed 80 percent of the branch
circuit AC current rating.
