1 Introduction
Compaq designed its new ultra-dense server, the ProLiant DL360, to face the strict challenges
associated with a concentration of servers within a rack, including power distribution, and
console, cable, and thermal management. In an effort to support the efficient deployment of
multiple 1U servers in racks, Compaq suggests that customers evaluate their environments well in
advance.
This paper describes selected rack configurations and installation procedures, including a
complete list of required parts for selected configurations. Use this document as a guideline in
conjunction with other documents listed in Appendix A.
