Space Requirements
Air to cool the Xserve flows from front to back. Make sure nothing blocks the openings
in the front and back panels of the Xserve. When installed, the Xserve slides in and out
of the rack from the front. Make sure you have at least 36 inches (1 meter) clear in front
of the Xserve so you can remove it.
Do not block
the air flowing
through the Xserve.
Electrical Power Requirements
Be sure that the available circuitry and power connections can support the combined
power needs of the Xserve and all other equipment in the rack. For information about
the electrical power requirements of the Xserve, see Appendix A, “Specifications,” on
page 45. Make sure that the power connections for the Xserve and all other equipment
are grounded according to local and national standards.
