Configuration factors

Rack configuration software

To help you plan your rack configuration more efficiently, HP provides eCo-Enterprise Configurator, a
powerful web-based service that enables you to build, store, and export end-to-end rack configurations.
HP strongly recommends that you configure the rack using the eCo-Enterprise Configurator, which
provides factory default racking. The latest version of the software is available on the HP website
(http://h30099.www3.hp.com/eGlue/eco/begin.do).

HP eCo-Enterprise Configurator

HP Custom Builder was retired from service on 12 December 2005.
If you require factory default racking for the HP hardware portfolio, you can still use the HP eCo-Enterprise
Configurator, which is available on the HP website
(http://h30099.www3.hp.com/eGlue/eco/begin.do).
If you require custom rack configuration capabilities, contact the HP Customer Business Center or an HP
authorized partner for assistance.
The HP eCo-Enterprise Configurator now provides factory default racking for HP hardware. This approach
is aligned with the strategic direction to meet the needs and expectations of valued customers. If you
require a custom rack configuration, contact the HP Customer Business Center or an authorized partner
for assistance.

Optimum environment

performance with minimum maintenance for your rack environment.
