  • Page 2: Table O F Abstract

    This white paper is a planning guide to expedite concentrated deployments of several HP ProLiant DL360 Generation 3 servers in a single rack. Use this white paper in conjunction with documents for the ProLiant DL360 Generation 3 server and Compaq branded rack deployment products as necessary.

  • Page 3: Power & Thermal Budgeting

    Since the input power values for a ProLiant DL360 Generation 3 server in an installation might vary depending on the software applications, the information provided in this section should be used as a guideline only.
  • Page 4 The derated input power values of 220 W and 370 W can be correlated with the measured input power values for the minimum and maximum configurations for ProLiant DL360 Generation 3 servers. However, the derated input power value must be high enough to account for any future upgrades for a deployment plan.
  • Page 5 Nonoperating 5 to 95% Note: The SA5302 option is a PCI card available from HP. Any third-party PCI cards used in the ProLiant DL360 Generation 3 server must comply with the industry-standard PCI specifications for dimension, weight, power, and thermal requirements.
  • Page 6 2 x 2.8 GHz, 4 x 1 GB, 2 x 72.8 GB, 2 x 53002 310 W Note: Peak power of a fully configured ProLiant DL360 Generation 3 server (Configuration 4) was measured to be only about 83 percent of its rated peak input power.

  • Page 9: Power Distribution Units

    ProLiant DL360 generation 3 server high-density deployment technical white paper power distribution units HP offers a wide range of 1U/0U PDUs, supporting both low voltage and high voltage applications. Designed especially for high volume rack deployments, HP PDUs help optimize cable management and power distribution within the rack.
  • Page 10 HP PDUs support both high-voltage and low-voltage applications. The input current rating for a ProLiant DL360 Generation 3 server is either 1.7 A at 200 to 240 V or 3.7 A at 100 to 120 V. To determine the number of servers supported by a PDU, divide the PDU’s current rating by the...
  • Page 11 Since the input power budget of 356 W exceeds the fully configured system measured input power of 292 W (as shown in Table 2), 14 ProLiant DL360 Generation 3 servers can be supported by a 24 A high-voltage PDU. That means, three of these PDUs are needed to support 42 servers in a 42U rack.

  • Page 12: Console Management Systems

    An in-rack console management system may be used to manage a single rack of servers or groups of racks. The HP IP console switch products have 16 ports that can access up to 128 servers. The HP IP Consoling Solution combines analog and digital technology to provide flexible, centralized KVM control of data center servers.
  • Page 13 With an in-rack local console, all equipment, servers, switchboxes, keyboards, keyboard drawers, and video displays are installed together in the same rack. The HP switchboxes mount behind the keyboard drawer and don’t consume extra U-space in the rack. Using the TFT5600 RKM and an IP console switch will consume a total of 1U to accommodate up to 128 servers.

    Total configured rack weight 848 kg/1,871 lb IMPORTANT: Populate a rack with ProLiant DL360 Generation 3 servers and other rack option products only after the rack is in or very near its final position. Do not transport a fully populated rack.

  • Page 17: Rack Builder Online

    Rack Builder Online is a tool that assists in planning and configuring new racks. It provides users with a powerful web-based tool for configuring one or many racks with HP components. Using either a simple guided interface or a “build it yourself” mode for advanced users, rack configurations are created using a complete and current database that includes all Compaq branded rack-mountable products.

  • Page 18: Special Considerations For Compaq Branded Racks

    WARNING: Follow these guidelines to reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment: • Do not install a ProLiant DL360 Generation 3 server into a rack until the rack has been placed in its final location. •...

  • Page 19: Suggested Rack Configurations

    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.

  • Page 20: Configuration A: Maximum Performance Density (42 Servers, High-Voltage)

    ProLiant DL360 generation 3 server high-density deployment technical white paper configuration A: maximum performance density (42 servers, high-voltage) This configuration (Figure 2) shows a “best practice” for a 42U rack with 42 servers in a high-voltage facility where a deployment plan can accommodate the derating of each ProLiant DL360 Generation 3 server.
