HP ProLiant DL2000 server technologies

Chassis design

The DL2000 provides a consolidated infrastructure that allows you to manage up to four independent

servers in a 2U chassis with the effort of managing one. The 2U HP ProLiant e2000 chassis includes

two or four independent DL170e server nodes so you can customize the DL2000 chassis for your

environment—with four 1U nodes or two 2U nodes (Figure 1).

The DL2000 offers hot-pluggable nodes that you can remove without affecting the operation of other

nodes. For more information, see the Serviceability section later in this paper.
