ProLiant DL360 G2 Server High-Density Deployment

ProLiant DL360 G2 Server High-Density Deployment 21
WARNING: Follow these guidelines to reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to
the equipment:
• Do not install a ProLiant DL360 G2 server into a rack until the rack has been placed in
its final location.
• Pre-install slide rails, PDUs, power cords, and cables into the rack in a build room or
other location before moving the rack to its final location.
• Extend the leveling jacks to the floor and rest the full weight of the rack on the jacks
b
efore installing any servers. The casters are not designed to support the full weight of
a populated rack.
• Do not move a rack populated with servers. A fully populated rack can weigh up to
1,800 pounds. Moving a populated rack can cause the rack to become unstable,
resulting in serious personal injury or equipment damage.
To effectively cool the ProLiant DL360 G2 server in a 7000-series rack, replace the front door of
the rack with the High Air Flow Rack-Door. Insert before deploying the servers in the rack.
Use the Rack Extension kit (P/N 154392-B21) to alleviate any space problems for cable bundles
at the rear of 7000-series racks.
Rack Management Systems
To determine the best rack management solution, consider the service and upgrade demands of
the servers deployed in the rack.
Universal Rack Rails
Because not all customers use Compaq racks, the ProLiant DL360 G2 server design supports
deployment in many environments, Compaq ships standard a Universal Rack Rail that works in
both Compaq and third-party rack cabinets. This kit includes variable length rack rails that are
compatible with a variety of third-party racks depths and will work with either round or square
holes. The Universal Rack Rail can be installed in racks that are 610 mm (24 inches) to 787 mm
(31 inches) deep.
Sliding Rack Rails
The Sliding Rack Rails and cable management solution are conducive to in-rack servicing and
provide convenient access to the server cables and connectors. With this solution, a server can be
powered down and serviced without disconnecting the server cables or removing the server from
the rack.
The Sliding Rack Rails and cable management solution use the same adjustable depth rack rail
mechanism for either square or round hole racks. Therefore, they are designed for Compaq or
third-party racks. The sliding rack rails compress and snap securely in place in the rack without
screws or nuts.
A steel-cable pulley operates as the cable management solution and attaches directly onto the rear
of the rack rail. It secures and routes the power, network, KVM cords, and cables along the rear
of the rack. When a server is extended from the front of the rack for servicing, the steel cable
from the cable pulley extends as well. This not only prevents the cables from sagging and
tangling, but it also enables proper air ventilation through the rack while enabling the servers to
be fully extended without disconnecting any of the server cables.
