ProLiant Server High-Density Deployment Server Solution

Configuration C: Conventional

Table 9 describes a suggested configuration for 24 servers powered from a low-voltage AC power

supply.

Table 9. Configuration C Summary

Configuration C Summary

Rack Contents

Units

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

4 Low-voltage 24-A 0U/1U PDUs

2 x 48-Port Ethernet switches

2 x 24-Port Ethernet hubs

1 IP Console Switch

24 Interface Adapters

2 Expansion Modules

1 x 1U Keyboard/Monitor

Internal Cables

24 power cords going to 4 PDUs in the side panels (These cables are supplied with the servers.)

28 KVM cables going from switch to server, switch to switch, and switch to 1U keyboard/monitor

24 management network cables from the iLO RJ-45 connector to two 24-port 10/100 Ethernet hubs

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

Ethernet switches each with 44 10/100T ports and 4 gigabit ports, assuming the use of two LAN

connections per server

Cables External to Rack

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

Site Utility Requirements (worst-case)

Power: 4 dedicated 100V - 120V 30-A branch circuits.

Thermal: Up to 48,000 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.

The use of the Double-Bar mounting brackets for the Modular PDU is highly recommended. 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 on 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.
