ProLiant DL360 G2 Server High-Density Deployment

ProLiant DL360 G2 Server High-Density Deployment 6
Introduction
The dense ProLiant DL360 G2 server was designed to meet the challenges associated with
deploying a high concentration of servers in a single rack. Customers should evaluate their
environments, power distribution, console, cable, and thermal management choices well in
advance to ensure efficient deployments.
All discussions of power requirements for ProLiant DL360 G2 servers are based on the input
power of the server. This document uses the maximum rated power supply input of 308 W for
calculation purposes. However, de-rating the input power might be effective to help:
• Minimize the number of PDUs required for each rack.
• Match the rack current requirements with the existing circuit breaker capacity.
• Match the rack cooling requirements with the existing facility cooling capability.
IMPORTANT: In this document, de-rating the input power budget means using less than the
maximum rated input power values for the power supply. Make sure the de-rated power
budget satisfies all the installation requirements, including future upgrade plans.

options for the ProLiant DL360 G2 server.
