Page 6: Configuration Rules
HP servers draw in cool air through the front door and expel warm air through the rear door. Therefore, the front and rear rack doors must be adequately ventilated to allow ambient room air to enter the cabinet, and the rear door must be adequately ventilated to allow the warm air to escape from the cabinet. -

Support Plus 24 • Startup and implementation services for both hardware and software For more information on HP Care Pack Services, see the HP website (http://www.hp.com/services/carepack). Optimum environment When installing the server in a rack, select a location that meets the environmental standards described in this section. -
Page 30: Installation Guidelines
Because of the high ground-leakage currents associated with multiple servers connected to the same power source, HP recommends the use of a PDU that is either permanently wired to the building’s branch circuit or includes a nondetachable cord that is wired to an industrial-style plug. NEMA locking-style plugs or those complying with IEC 60309 are considered suitable for this purpose. -
Page 31: Cabling Guidelines
Installation overview for full-rack solutions For ease of cabling, HP recommends a specific order for hardware installation and cable connections. You can use portions of the procedure, depending on the hardware in your configuration. The number of power components is based on the number of servers and the power supply configuration. For more information, see "Power requirements and considerations."... -
Page 32: Power Cabling
For InfiniBand switches, install the switch with connectors at the rear of the rack. Install the servers. Connect power cabling: Connect power distribution cables and devices to the PDUs. Connect power distribution cables and devices to the server power supplies. For examples, see the following: "Power cabling with extension bars (on page 35)"... -
Page 33: Pdu Support
PDU support The HP ProLiant s6500 Chassis uses PDUs to provide power to the servers. Many PDU configurations are possible. For rack-mounting instructions and locations, see the documentation provided with the PDU. HP recommends using fixed-cord mPDUs to supply power to components in the rack. - Page 34 mPDU and fixed-cord extension bar configuration The following figure shows a 42U rack with two mPDUs installed in a zero-U configuration. Five fixed-cord extension bars are connected to each mPDU. Item Description Facility power cabling Fixed-cord extension bar Fixed-cord mPDU Cabling 34...
- Page 35 Power cabling with extension bars Fixed-cord extension bars enable you to reduce traditional power cabling with the following methods: • Eliminating standard-length power cords for each server power supply • Aggregating server cabling into fewer PDU connections The following figure shows the back of a fully-configured 42U rack with different types of scalable system servers.
- Page 36 Cabling 36...
- Page 37 Power cabling with Y-cables For servers with 1200-W power supplies, Y-cables are specialized power cords that connect two power supplies to a single C19 PDU outlet. Y-cables eliminate the need for extension bars (power strips) and can provide lower cost, easier installation, and less clutter in the rack. The following figure shows the side and back of a fully-configured 42U rack with different types of scalable system servers.

- Page 39 Bottom-mounted mPDU and fixed-cord extension bar configuration The following figure shows a 42U rack with two 3-phase mPDUs installed in the bottom of the rack. Five fixed-cord extension bars are connected to each mPDU. The cables to the extension bars are routed from the back of the mPDUs.
- Page 40 Power cabling with Y-cables and bottom-mounted PDU For servers with 1200-W power supplies, Y-cables are specialized power cords that connect two power supplies to a single C19 PDU outlet. Y-cables eliminate the need for extension bars (power strips) and can provide lower cost, easier installation, and less clutter in the rack.

Page 41: Network Cabling
Network cabling Network adapter and switch support Each server model in the HP ProLiant s6500 Chassis supports a network adapter with at least one connector. For server-specific connector locations, see the server installation sheet that ships with the server. For a fully configured 42U rack, HP recommends installing two 1U switches at the 21U and 22U positions in the rack. - Page 42 The servers in the bottom half of the rack have a redundant adapter cabling configuration. Network cabling with InfiniBand switches By mounting InfiniBand switches with connectors at the rear of the rack, you can eliminate in-rack routing and bending of the InfiniBand cables from the external network. This configuration also keeps the InfiniBand connections isolated at the back of the rack, reducing physical interference with SFP transceivers.
- Page 43 The following figure shows a fully configured rack with two 1U Infiniband switches and different types of scalable system servers. Adapter cabling consists of QDR cables with QSFP connectors. Connections from the servers to the switches show cabling that routes from the front to the rear of the rack. Cabling 43...
