  • Page 2: Abstract

    Abstract Energy usage in enterprise data centers has increased to the point where it is second only to labor in operating costs. The efficient distribution of AC power to IT equipment is an important factor in minimizing consumption costs. This paper informs IT infrastructure architects and facility managers of the importance of energy management and describes an HP solution for distributing, balancing, and monitoring AC power.
  • Page 3 The HP Power Distribution Rack (PDR) is designed for end-of-row power distribution for data centers using a zoned infrastructure. Each HP PDR (Figure 2) consists of an HP 10000-series rack configured with two 400-amp 42-pole (North America) distribution panels for a maximum of 84 output circuits. Each 42-pole distribution panel is protected by a 400-amp three-pole (3P) input circuit breaker (lower amperage configurations are acceptable as well).
  • Page 4: Implementation Strategies

    Implementation strategies Zoned power distribution systems offer greater flexibility for load balancing and for precise circuit monitoring. The HP PDR supports a variety of strategies for power distribution and management. Power distribution strategies With two distribution panels each with an AC input, the HP PDR supports a number of possible distribution scenarios.
  • Page 5: Power Management Strategies

    Power management strategies The flexibility of zoned distribution systems allows data center configurations to be dynamic. Growth and expansion in zoned systems can occur easily, so extra care must be taken to avoid an unbalanced load or overload situation. Any sudden unscheduled downtime of IT equipment from a tripped circuit breaker can be costly.
  • Page 6: Management Through The Web Interface

    Management through the web interface The HP PDR Management Module includes a web interface that provides comprehensive, graphical status of the PDR. The web interface allows an authorized user designated as an administrator to access, set, or change management module settings over a 10/100 Ethernet network. As shown in Figure 6, the Overview screen of the web interface displays the overall voltage, current, and load status of both distribution panels of the PDR.
  • Page 7 The outputs of all 42 circuits of each distribution panel can be viewed by selecting the PDR Breakers tab for Panel 1 or Panel 2. Figure 7 shows a sample PDR Breakers screen for Panel 1. Figure 7. Overview, PDR Breakers (Panel 1) screen of the HP PDR Management Module web interface The screen in Figure 7 provides the following information: •...
  • Page 8 The HP PDR Management Module monitors all circuits against a comprehensive list of alarm conditions, including (but not limited to) the following: • Under- and over-voltage for inputs and outputs • Input phase rotation error • Neutral overload • Primary and secondary breaker status •...
  • Page 9 Figure 9. PDR Thresholds screen of the HP PDR Management Module web interface When an alarm condition occurs or a threshold is exceeded, the module records the description, severity, date, and time in an event log. In addition, the web interface can be configured to send event notifications to user-designated email addresses of facility managers.
  • Page 10: Management Through Telnet Or Terminal Emulation

    Management through telnet or terminal emulation The HP PDR Management Module can be accessed through a service menu that provides an alternate interface for situations where the web interface is not feasible or is temporarily unavailable. The service menu is accessed through a serial port using either a local device running a terminal emulator program or a remote device running a telnet session.
  • Page 11: Integration With Hp Sim

    Integration with HP SIM The HP PDR Management Module can be integrated with HP SIM for a comprehensive data center management solution. HP SIM allows facility managers to discover (detect) newly installed HP PDR Management Modules, launch the web interface of a management module from within HP SIM, and receive SNMP traps from management modules.
