The Compaq ProLiant DL360 server can be cabled to a Compaq 1U console switch. Each of
these low profile console switches provides connectivity for up to 8 servers. The console switches
can be cascaded one level to provide connectivity for up to 64 servers. Using a 2U Compaq
TFT display and Compaq keyboard options, customers can deploy Compaq
ProLiant DL360 ultra-dense servers in minimal rack space configurations.
Typical wiring for a Compaq ProLiant DL360 server includes the server power cord, the two
CAT5 cables to the redundant server NICs, the video cable, the keyboard cable, and the mouse
cable.
