HP ProLiant DL360 G3 Server High-Density Deployment
Configuration A:
Maximum
Performance Density
(42 servers, high-voltage) Single or Dual Power Supply
This configuration shows a "best practice" for a 42U rack with 42 servers in a
high-voltage configuration summary (Table 7).

Configuration A Summary
Rack Contents
Rack
HP ProLiant Model 10462 rack with 42U of mounting space
Units
42 Servers with all fixed or all sliding rails with cable trays
2 High-voltage 40 A Modular PDUs
Internal Cables
42 Standard IEC-IEC jumper cords going to and from the servers to the Extension
Bars mounted at the rear of the rack
Cables External to Rack
42 (management) network cables from the Integrated Lights-Out RJ45 connector to
external 48 port Ethernet switches with 44 10/100 ports and 4 Gigabit ports
84 (data) network cables from the on-board 10/100/1000 NICs RJ-45 connectors
to six external 24 port Gigabit Ethernet switches, assuming use of two LAN
connections per server
2 high-voltage input power cords hardwired from the PDUs to facility AC power
feeds
Site Utility Requirements (worst-case)
Power: 2 dedicated 200 V - 240 V 50 A branch circuits.
Thermal: Up to 50,414 BTUs/hour (This number is a worst-case. The actual
BTUs/hour will depend on the OS/application software running and the server
hardware configurations.)
Weight: Up to 907.18 kg (2,000 lb) (with sliding-rails) (The network cables are
not accounted for since most implementations route the network cables to the
ceiling-hung cable rails outside of the rack.)
The optional Integrated Lights-Out Advanced Pack is recommended for all console
management (local and remote) for this configuration (Figure 9). The network cables
originating from each server connect to network switches outside this rack enclosure.
The use of the Double-Bar mounting brackets for the Modular PDU is highly
recommended. This will allow the maximum number of outlets to mounted same side of
the rack enclosure as the server power supply connection.
Note: No KVM switches are used in Configuration A. The Integrated Lights-Out
Advanced Pack handles all of the local consoles. See Figure 9 for the Ethernet Cable
Diagram.
