Suggested Rack Configurations - HP ProLiant DL360 Manual

hp ProLiant DL360 generation 3 server high-density deployment technical white paper
A steel-cable pulley operates as the cable management solution and attaches directly onto the rear
of the rack rail. It secures and routes the power, network, KVM cords, and cables along the rear
of the rack. When a server is extended from the front of the rack for servicing, the steel cable
from the cable pulley extends as well. This not only prevents the cables from sagging and
tangling, but it also enables proper air ventilation through the rack while enabling the servers to
be fully extended without disconnecting any of the server cables.
Refer to the HP ProLiant DL360 Generation 3 Setup and Installation Guide for complete
installation instructions.
telco rack solution
Many data centers use two post telecommunication (telco) racks. The ProLiant DL360
Generation 3 server design supports deployment in telco racks. HP offers a telco rack kit designed
to install ProLiant DL360 Generation 3 servers in telco racks. This kit includes rack rails and
screws that are compatible with a variety of telco racks. The telco rack kit includes replacement
server rails designed to fit on the server. Before deploying the servers into a telco rack, remove
the standard server rails and replace them with the telco server rails included in the telco rack kit.
