Compaq ProLiant DL360 Ultra-Dense Server Deployment in Compaq Racks

Compaq ProLiant DL360 Ultra-Dense Server Deployment in Compaq Racks 34
128H-1100B-WWEN
3.2 Configuration-B: 42 Servers, 24A High Voltage
PDU
This configuration shows how to deploy a 42U rack with 42 servers in a high voltage facility.
Three PDUs will be required to support 42 fully-rated servers as explained in Section 2.4.
The optional Compaq Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition is recommended for remote console
management in this configuration. The network cables originating from each ProLiant DL360
server connect to network switches outside this rack enclosure. This configuration still
accommodates a “walk-up” local console, whereby a person can walk up to the rear of the rack
and plug in a set of keyboard/video/mouse (KVM) cables to any server rear panel in the rack.

Configuration-B Summary
Rack Contents
Units
42 servers with all fixed or all sliding rails with cable trays
3 High Voltage 24A PDUs vertically mounted in the side panel compartments
Internal Cables
22 Y-power cords connecting from 3 PDUs in the side panels to 42 servers
Cables External to Rack
42 (management) network cables from the optional Remote Insight Lights-Out
Edition RJ-45 connector to external switches
42 (data) network cables from on-board RJ-45 to external switches, assuming
use of only one LAN connection per server
3 input power cords from the rack to external power outlets
Site Utility Requirements (worst-case)
Power: 3 dedicated 200V-240V 30A branch circuits.
Thermal: up to 41,820 BTU [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 1,678 lb (with sliding-rails) [The network cables are not
accounted for since most implementations route the network cables to the
ceiling-hung cable rails outside of the rack.]
