Installation Overview This chapter presents an overview of the installation and configuration procedure for Compaq ProLiant 5500 and 5500R servers. You are referred to later chapters in this guide for detailed discussions of rack installation, hardware option installation, and configuration. Topics in this chapter include:...
CAUTION: The Compaq ProLiant server must always be operated with the system unit cover on. Proper cooling will not be achieved if the system unit cover is removed.
For electrical power ratings on options, refer to the product's rating label or user documentation supplied with that option. Compaq ProLiant 5500 and 5500R Servers Setup and Installation Guide For use with Pentium II Xeon and Pentium III Xeon processor-based servers only...
To ensure continued safe and reliable operation of the equipment, locate the system in a well-ventilated, climate-controlled environment. The Compaq Maximum Recommended Ambient Operating Temperature (TMRA) for most server products is 35°C (95°F). Therefore, the temperature in the room where the rack is located should not exceed 35°C (95°F).
Each procedure is a summary of the steps you will follow to install your Compaq ProLiant 5500 and 5500R server. Detailed instructions for the general steps are included in later chapters of this guide.
After the SmartStart and Support Software program has configured your system, your server installation is complete. Installing a Tower Model Below are the general steps for installing your tower model ProLiant 5500 server: Unpack the server. Install any hardware options in the server. See Chapter 6 of this guide for installing the Integrated Management Display in your tower model.
How to attach the mounting hardware to the server and to the rack How to install the server into the rack You may choose the Compaq optional installation service to install your rack products. See “Optional Installation Service”on page 3-4.
Page 34
Rack-Mount Server Installation WARNING: A rack may become unstable if more than one server is extended for any reason. To reduce the risk of personal injury, always ensure that the rack is adequately stabilized before extending a server outside the rack, and extend only one server at a time.
Airflow Requirements Compaq ProLiant rack mount servers draw cool air in through the front door and exhaust warm air out the rear. Therefore, the front door of the rack 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.
Hardware installation service is available in all countries where Compaq has a direct or indirect service presence. It may be ordered from an authorized Compaq Service Reseller, or, in the United States, call Compaq at 1-800-OK-COMPAQ.
