plugged into a wall outlet, the safety ground conductor in the power cord provides
proper grounding only for the server. You must provide additional, proper grounding for
the rack and other devices installed in it.
Overcurrent protection: The server is designed for a line voltage source with up to
20 amperes of overcurrent protection per cord feed. If the power system for the
equipment rack is installed on a branch circuit with more than 20 amperes of
protection, you must provide supplemental protection for the server. The overall
current rating of a server configured with two power supplies is less than 4 amperes.
Caution: Temperature: The operating temperature of the server, when installed in an
equipment rack, must not go below 5°C (41°F) or rise above 35°C (95°F). Extreme
fluctuations in temperature can cause a variety of problems in your server.
Ventilation: The equipment rack must provide sufficient airflow to the front of the
server to maintain proper cooling. It must also include ventilation sufficient to exhaust
a maximum of 1200 BTU per hour for a fully loaded server system using the Kontron
Carrier Grade Server TIGW1U.
It is important to note that this measurement is the maximum, and a minimum or
typical system could use much less. You may want to calculate the BTU/hr
measurement more accurately for your configuration. An extra 500 BTU/hr over many
systems would translate into a large error calculating air conditioning capacity.
