hp ProLiant DL560 server high-density deployment white paper planning rack configurations online calculators Several important factors are considered when planning a rack configuration: • • The number of servers deployed in the rack The number of other devices such as 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 • The remote management system •
hp ProLiant DL560 server high-density deployment white paper power calculator utility The Power Calculator utility computes the power requirements for a single DL560 server. Using drop-down menus, select the number of processors, memory amount, hard drive type and amount, and PCI card compliment of the server. Each configuration change is re-calculated instantly, and a yellow warning message is displayed if a particular parameter does not work or seriously impedes performance.
hp ProLiant DL560 server high-density deployment white paper rack/site preparation utility The Rack/Site Preparation utility will calculate all power, vertical rack space, and airflow requirements for a complete server installation. In addition, the Rack/Site Preparation utility includes sub-calculators for determining the power requirements of individual components. The Rack/Site Preparation utility is accessed through the HP ActiveAnswers website.
hp ProLiant DL560 server high-density deployment white paper To use the Rack/Site Preparation utility: 1. Select either the Express or Advanced mode of calculation. – Express calculation uses pre-set values for components and can be used for producing a quick estimate of system requirements. – Advanced calculation requires the user to configure individual components and is recommended for final installation planning. If Express mode is selected, proceed to step 5. 2.
hp ProLiant DL560 server high-density deployment white paper installation procedures overview Execute these steps in order, especially when multiple racks are connected together or when a rack is populated in a separate room and relocated to its final position. 1. Observe symbols on equipment, server warnings, and rack warnings. 2. Prepare the server. 3. Prepare the rack. 4. Install PDUs. 5. Install the rack rails. 6. Install a server in the rack. 7. Connect the cables. 8. Complete the installation.

hp ProLiant DL560 server high-density deployment white paper figuring type and number of PDUs The type and number of PDUs required to power a full rack of servers depends on the power requirement for each server, the number of servers deployed in the rack, and the available power for the servers. HP PDUs support both high-voltage and low-voltage applications. The input current rating for a ProLiant DL560 server is either 2.3 A at 240 volts or 4.9 A at 115 volts.
hp ProLiant DL560 server high-density deployment white paper selecting server power cords The appropriate server power cord to use depends on the cable management system installed in the rack. Generally, the sliding rail cable management system requires a power cord that is 1.8 m (6 ft) in length. This length provides enough slack for the power cord to route through the cable management solution.
hp ProLiant DL560 server high-density deployment white paper telco rack solution The server design supports deployment in telco racks. If you are installing the server into a telco rack, order the appropriate option kit at http://www.racksolutions.com/hp. installing rack rails The following procedure describes how to install the standard rack rails onto the rack. The rails are designed to snap in place without screws or nuts. 1. Remove the server rails from the left and right standard rails. 2.
hp ProLiant DL560 server high-density deployment white paper routing power cords high-voltage and low-voltage power cords IMPORTANT: When installing server power cords into the PDUs, ensure that the load is balanced among the output circuit breakers. To route and connect high-voltage or low-voltage power cords: IMPORTANT: Route and connect the power cord to the PDU after the server is installed. 1.
