Page 29: Operational Requirements
Hitachi Advanced Server models draw in cool air through the front door and expel warm air through the rear door. Therefore, the front and rear rack doors must be adequately ventilated to allow ambient room air to enter the cabinet, and the rear door must be adequately ventilated to allow the warm air to escape from the cabinet.
Page 30: Temperature Requirements
CAUTION: Always use blanking panels to fill empty vertical 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. The 9000 and 10000 Series Racks provide proper server cooling from flow-through perforations in the front and rear doors that provide 64 percent open area for ventilation.
Page 31: Electrical Grounding Requirements
Electrical grounding requirements The server must be grounded properly for proper operation and safety. In the United States, you must install the equipment in accordance with NFPA 70, National Electric Code Article 250, as well as any local and regional building codes. In Canada, you must install the equipment in accordance with Canadian Standards Association, CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code.
Page 32: Rack Warnings And Cautions
To connect a DC power cable to a DC power source: 1. Cut the DC power cord ends no shorter than 150 cm (59.06 in). 2. If the power source requires ring tongues, use a crimping tool to install the ring tongues on the power cord wires.
Page 33: Server Warnings And Cautions
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage when unloading a rack: • At least two people are needed to safely unload the rack from the pallet. An empty 42U rack can weigh as much as 115 kg (253 lb), can stand more than 2.1 m (7 ft) tall, and might become unstable when being moved on its casters.
Page 34: Electrostatic Discharge
CAUTION: To avoid data loss, back up all server data before installing or removing a hardware option, or performing a server maintenance or troubleshooting procedure. CAUTION: Do not operate the server for long periods with the access panel open or removed. Operating the server in this manner results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.

Page 111 CAUTION: Employ industry best practices in managing peripheral cables and power cords secured in the CMA. These are some of the more important points: • Leave enough cable slack between the rear panel and the CMA to allow the full extension of the CMA when the server is extended out of the server.
Page 112 (Optional) If your CMA has cable straps, fasten the straps. Verify the operation of the server rails: Two people might be needed for this procedure: one to slide the chassis in and out of the server, and the other to observe the rear panel cables and power cords. a.
