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.
