ProLiant Server High-Density Deployment Server Solution

Configuration B: Maximum Flexibility

Table 8 describes a suggested configuration for a 42U rack with 35 HP ProLiant DL360 G4 servers

powered from a high-voltage AC supply.

Table 8. Configuration B Summary

Configuration B Summary

Rack Contents

Units

35 Servers with all fixed or all sliding rails with cable trays

2 X 40 A PDUs

2 x 48 Port Ethernet switches

2 x 24 Port Ethernet switches

1 IP Console KVM Switch

35 Interface Adapters

4 Expansion Modules

1 TFT5600RKM

Internal Cables

70 standard IEC-TO-IEC jumper cords going to the servers from the extension bars mounted at the rear of

the rack

Cables External to Rack

35 management network cables from the iLO RJ-45 connector to two external 24-port Ethernet switches,

each with 22 10/100 ports and 2 Gigabit ports

70 data network cables from the on-board 10/100/1000 NICs RJ-45 connectors to external 48-port

Ethernet switches with 44 10/100 ports and 4 Gigabit ports, assuming use of two LAN connections per

server

4 high-voltage input power cords connecting from the PDUs to the facility AC power feeds

Site Utility Requirements (worst-case)

Power: 4 dedicated 200V - 240V 50A branch circuits (2 from each separate feed, assuming

redundant power supply configuration).

Thermal: Up to 70,000 BTUs/hour (This number is a worst-case. The actual BTUs/hour will depend on

the OS/application software running and the server hardware configurations.)

Weight: Up to 907.18 kg (2,000 lb). The network cables are not accounted for since most

implementations route the network cables to the ceiling-hung cable rails outside of the rack.

HP recommends the use of the double-bar mounting brackets for the Modular PDU. This enables the

maximum number of outlets to be mounted on the same side of the rack enclosure as the server power

supply connection.

The use of the double-bar mounting brackets for the Modular PDU is highly recommended. This will

allow the maximum number of outlets to mounted to the same side of the rack enclosure as the server

power supply connection. The fixed length cord PDU significantly reduces cable bulk from power

cords. The PDU is 20 cm (8 in) long, and the cables are each 33 cm (13 in) long.
