ProLiant DL360 G2 Server High-Density Deployment

ProLiant DL360 G2 Server High-Density Deployment 9
Server Console Switch – A device that enables multiple servers in a rack to be accessed and
managed by a single keyboard, mouse, and monitor. These switches are also known as KVM
switches.
Sliding Rail – A tool-free racking system designed for Compaq and third-party racks that support
in-rack serviceability for ProLiant servers. Customers with this option could slide the server
entirely out of the rack to remove the top access panel without removing any of the cabling
from the rear of the server.
UID LED and Switch – The blue Unit Identification (UID) LED recognizes when the ProLiant
server requires service. A UID switch toggles both the front and rear UID LEDs
simultaneously.
Wake on LAN (WOL) – An option that enables a remote (re)start of the server.
Understanding Power, Thermal, Weight and
Console Management Considerations
Power, thermal, and weight are the most important considerations for optimizing a hardware
installation in high-volume server environments. The type of console management system used in
a server environment is determined by the rack deployment.
Table 4 provides server parameters necessary to calculate the power, thermal, and weight
requirements for any number of ProLiant DL360 G2 servers. Console management considerations
are discussed in detail later in this section.
