To gain maximum benefit from this solution, refer to the document Compaq Ultra-Dense Server
Deployment in Compaq Racks.
Slide Rails and Cable Management Solution
For full in-rack serviceability, Compaq offers an option kit with ball-bearing slide rails. Use of the
slide rails requires removing the factory-installed fixed server rails from the ProLiant DL360 server
and replacing them with the server rails provided in the option kit. Once the optional server rails
have been installed on the server, installing the slide rails and mounting the ProLiant DL360 server
in the rack are tool free.
For this solution, Compaq designed a new, tool-free cable management system (Figure 5) that is
installed with three thumbscrews. This solution allows full extension of the server on the slide rail
assembly without detaching the cables. The cable management system secures and supports the
bundled rear cables in a way that allows easy access to rear connectors and prevents the cables
from blocking air flow out the back of the server.
To gain maximum benefit from this solution, refer to the document Compaq Ultra-Dense Server
Deployment in Compaq Racks.

ProLiant DL360 servers can be fully extended for in-rack service (right).
Telco Rack Option
Compaq offers a Telco brackets option kit for mounting the ProLiant DL360 server in standard
Telco racks. Installing the Telco rack brackets requires removing the factory-installed fixed server
rails from the ProLiant DL360 server. Once the Telco brackets are installed, mounting the ProLiant
DL360 server in the Telco rack is tool free.
The Telco rack brackets in this option kit can be adjusted to mount the ProLiant DL360 server in
19-inch Telco racks with rack frame widths of 3 to 5 inches. Once mounted in a Telco rack, the
ProLiant DL360 server extends forward 5.625 inches and backward 19.375 inches from the front
mounting edge of the rack frame.
To gain maximum benefit from this solution, refer to the document Compaq Ultra-Dense Server
Deployment in Telecommunications (Telco) Racks.
