■
Make sure the rack on which hardware components are mounted is open or well ventilated. Follow the
ventilation specifications that apply to your system. See
on page 5.
■
Keep all hardware components in a clean, dust-free location.
■
Minimize vibration and humidity.
■
Do not block the vents on the component housing.
■
Do not drape anything, such as a jacket or a blanket, over hardware components.
■
Minimize electromagnetic noise by separating digital data and power cables from analog audio cables
and running them in different cable ducts.
Power and Air Conditioning Requirements
The values for power consumption and heat output were recorded on an Autodesk certified system with all
of the required peripherals and certified components.
NOTE
These values can fluctuate if uncertified hardware components or third party applications are added to
your system. The use of uncertified hardware components or third party applications is not supported. Please
consult the manufacturer's documentation for standardized minimum and maximum values.
The following table summarizes the peak (at startup) power consumed by the HP xw9400 system and the
heat it generates under the maximum processing load produced by your Visual Effects and Finishing
application. For detailed specifications, including noise output, see the documentation provided by the
manufacturer.

You must be able to meet the startup power requirement and have a climate control system with the capacity
to maintain the temperature of these components under the maximum processing load. Refer to the following
table for standard conversion benchmarks and an example of how they are used to establish climate control
requirements.
Example
Unit Conversion
384 Watts = 1228.68 BTU
1 Watt = 3.413 BTU
1228.68 BTU = 0.102 Ton of air conditioning
12000 BTU = 1 Ton of air conditioning
Rack Mount Requirements
You can rack mount your Visual Effects and Finishing system. Plan for sufficient space in your rack mount
chassis to install the following components:
