The values for power consumption and heat output were recorded on an Autodesk certified 
system with all of the required peripheral and certified components. 

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 power consumed by the HP xw8400 system and the heat it 
generates under the maximum processing load produced by your Lustre 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 this component 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.

When installing any hardware equipment, take the following precautions to prevent damage to 
sensitive components from static discharge:

• 

Make sure power is turned off on the component you are working on. It is a good idea to 

unplug components until all other connections are configured.

• 

Always wear a grounded static wrist strap. Attach the strap’s alligator clip to any grounded 

metal surface on the component’s chassis that you are working on. Place the wristband around 
your wrist.

• 

Do not handle any components unnecessarily, particularly boards and cards that slide in and 

out of slots on their parent hardware components.
