HP ProLiant Intel-based 100-series G6 servers

(with the requirement that the OS IPMI Driver be installed). Administrators can configure the controller

for the following Power Management modes:

 No Redundancy, Power Control Disabled - No power throttling will occur.

 Maximum Performance with Redundancy (AC Redundancy with power throttling) - This mode is the

default setting and allows all nodes to share both power supplies and run at maximum performance

with no power caps. Power control logic will only throttle performance of each node if the chassis

has only one operational power-supply. In this mode, the chassis is expected to survive an

unexpected AC power loss to one of power supplies.

 Maximum Redundancy (Full AC/DC Redundancy) - Power control logic will maintain a power cap

value for the chassis at the DC rating of a single power supply (460W, 750W, or 1200W). If one

power supply experiences a DC or AC failure, the chassis should remain on-line and operational.

 Dynamic Power Capping (Optional) - The user specifies the power envelope for the 2U chassis

within the capabilities of the installed hardware. Users run a utility to calibrate the minimum and

maximum power consumption envelope for the chassis. To avoid any performance impact from

throttling, the Power Cap value should not be set below the minimum power value provided by the

utility. Dynamic Power Capping is available with Lights Out 100 Advanced Pack.

Summary

HP ProLiant 100-series G6 servers help administrators increase business performance, lower power

costs, and manage their server hardware more easily. To improve performance, the 100-series G6

servers use Intel Xeon 3400, 5500, or 5600 Series processor technologies with integrated memory

controllers and DDR3 memory with increased bit rates. The latest Smart Array controllers use serial

SAS-2 technology as well as improved firmware capabilities to double RAID performance compared

to previous generation of controllers. HP spent significant engineering time improving the thermal

controls—incorporating multiple thermal sensors and allowing customers to constrain server power

according to their needs. Using HP Common Slot power supplies is another way that you can refine

and constrain server power, based on your data center requirements. HP Systems Insight Manager

facilitates management by incorporating Lights-Out 100i and the Insight Management Agents.

Administrators can easily deploy servers with the Easy Set-up CD and its ISO image or with the multi-

server deployment capabilities for the DL 100-series G6 servers. Finally, the multi node server DL1000

architecture brings a new level of density and power sharing to rack-based servers. With up to four

nodes in a single chassis, the DL1000 architecture lets customers maximize data center floor space

and provide flexible configurations that fit into existing industry standard racks. The embedded Power

Interface Controller monitors and throttles power consumption across the multiple nodes in the chassis

for optimum power efficiency.
