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.
power cords The server ships with an IEC-IEC power cord (PN 142263-003) used for rack
mounting with high-voltage PDUs. For low-voltage, stand-alone deployments or
installation without a rack, country-specific power cord options are available.
U.S. and Japanese models ship with two power cords—an IEC-IEC cord and a
country-specific cord.
The power cord included with the North American model of the server can be
used for low-voltage applications. Use a 1.8-m (6-ft) to 2.4-m (8-ft) long power
cord with the standard rack rails and cable management arm.

The IEC-to-IEC cables can be used either
as individual power cords to connect
PDUs or to extend the length of the high-
voltage Y-cables. The server ships with
one 3.0-m (10-ft) IEC to IEC cable, part
number 142263-003.
rack management
solutions
To determine the best rack management solution, consider the service and
upgrade demands of the servers deployed in the rack. Refer to the following
sections for information on available rack management solutions.
For rack rail installation procedures, refer to the “installing rack rails” section on
page 18.
standard square-
hole rack rails
The server ships with a standard fast deployment fixed rack rail kit designed for
24- to 36-in deep square-hole racks. The sliding rails and cable management
solution allows the server to be extended fully from the rack and temporarily
locked in place for servicing, without removing the cables from the server. This
solution also provides better access to the rear cabling connections.
For detailed instructions on installing standard rack rails, refer to the HP ProLiant
DL560 Server User Guide.
round-hole rack
cabinet solution
The server design supports deployment in round-hole rack cabinets. The Round-
Hole Rack Rail kit includes variable length rack rails that are compatible with
round-hole racks 610 mm (21 in) to 740 mm (29.13 in) deep.
