Dynamic Power Capping
Rack Airflow
Requirements
Tape blades are ideal for HP BladeSystem c-Class customers who need a data protection solution but are
not connected into a Storage Area Network (SAN). They provide direct attach data protection for the
adjacent server and network backup protection for all other data within the enclosure. The HP tape blades
are the industry's first bladed tape drives and are developed exclusively for the BladeSystem c-Class
enclosures.

HP Dynamic Power Capping is the industry's first and only power capping solution that lets you reclaim
trapped power and cooling capacity without putting electrical infrastructure or server performance at risk.
The enclosure Dynamic Power Cap will be shared amongst all of the installed devices and individual server
caps will be changed to match the server load. This will optimize the performance of the servers while
ensuring that the enclosure stays below the cap value.
Rack 10000 G2 series cabinets
The increasing power of new high-performance processor technology requires increased cooling efficiency
for rack-mounted servers. The G2 10000 Series Racks provide enhanced airflow for maximum cooling,
allowing these racks to be fully loaded with servers using the latest processors.
NOTE: For operation with the DC Input Module the G2 1000 Series Rack Extension is required to allow DC
Power Cabling to be installed.
CAUTION: If a third-party rack is used, observe the following additional requirements to ensure adequate
airflow and to prevent damage to the equipment:
Front and rear doors: If your 42U server rack includes closing front and rear doors, you must allow
830 square inches (5,350 sq cm) of hole evenly distributed from top to bottom to permit adequate
airflow (equivalent to the required 64 percent open area for ventilation).
The clearance from face of rack to inside of the front door needs to be 1.75" minimum.
Side: The clearance between the installed rack component and the side panels of the rack must be a
minimum of 2.75 inches (7 cm).
Depth: Minimum 39.4 inches (1000mm) for AC power, 47 inches (1200mm) for DC Power Input
Adjustable rack rails are shipped with each enclosure:
Minimum rail length: 25 inches (635mm)
Maximum rail length: 34 inches (864mm)
CAUTION: Always use blanking panels to fill all remaining empty front panel U-spaces in the rack. This
arrangement ensures proper airflow. Using a rack without blanking panels results in improper cooling that
can lead to thermal damage.
