Compaq ProLiant DL360 Ultra-Dense Server Deployment in Compaq Racks

Compaq ProLiant DL360 Ultra-Dense Server Deployment in Compaq Racks 36
128H-1100B-WWEN
3.3 Configuration-C: 42 Servers, 16A High Voltage
PDU
This configuration is not recommended if higher current-rating high voltage PDUs are available.
Otherwise, this configuration shows how to deploy 42 ProLiant DL360 servers in a 42U rack
using four 16A High Voltage PDUs.
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.
Table 3-8. Configuration C summary
Configuration-C Summary
Rack Contents
Units
42 servers with all fixed or all sliding rails with cable trays
4 High Voltage 16A PDUs vertically mounted in the side panel compartments
Internal Cables
22 Y-power cords going to 4 PDUs in the side panels
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.
4 input power cords from the rack to external power outlets
Site Utility Requirements (worst-case)
Power: 4 dedicated 200V-240V 20A branch circuits for N.A. and Japan, or
4 dedicated 200V-240V 16A branch circuits for the rest of the world.
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 1,690 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.]
