Planning Rack Configurations
Consider several important factors when planning a rack configuration:
• The number of servers deployed in the rack
• The number of other devices such as keyboards, keyboard drawers, video displays, and
console switchboxes that support the servers
• The number of PDUs and their orientation
• The type of rack
• The rack management system
• The console management system
All of these factors influence floor support requirements, future service and upgrade
requirements, and installation requirements.
Table 12 lists the weight and power specifications for Compaq racks and rack option products. To
calculate floor support requirements for a particular rack configuration, add the weight
measurements to calculate the total weight of a rack fully populated with
ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 servers. See the following example:
1 ×
9142 rack 114 kg (253 lb)
21 ×
ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 server
with hard disk drives
567 kg (1,260 lb)
21 ×
Cable management system 76 kg (168 lb)
3 ×
High-voltage PDUs with brackets 17 kg (38 lb)
22 ×
High-voltage Y-cables 9 kg (21 lb)
21 ×
Keyboard/Video/Mouse cables 27 kg (59 lb)
Total configured rack weight 810 kg (1,800 lb)
IMPORTANT: Compaq recommends populating a rack with ProLiant DL380 Generation 2
servers and other rack option products only after the rack is in or very near its final position.
Compaq does not recommend transporting a fully populated rack.
