Each server deployed in a fully populated rack with an in-rack IP console

management system requires the following accessories for successful

deployment and operation:

• Interface adapter

• UTP CAT5 cable [1.8 m (6 ft) cables for sliding rail solutions]

• Rack Rail kit (standard rack rails and cable management arm, telco rack

solution, or round-hole rack rails and cable management arm )

examples

The high/low voltage and dual-power supply capabilities of the ProLiant DL560

server makes it adaptable to a variety of power configurations. Each of the

following examples suggests a method of power distribution for a group of

servers mounted in a rack. These examples illustrate server power only and do

not take into account such accessories as KVM switches and display monitors

that are typically included in an installation.

configuration

The following illustration (figure 7) shows a configuration where high voltage

(208 VAC) is distributed to ten server chassis in a rack that receives primary

power from one bus. A modular PDU that consists of a control unit and two

extension bars is connected to the primary power source. The control unit can

handle a maximum of 24 amps. Under normal operation, the power supply in

each server would support the full load of each server. Therefore under normal

conditions, the PDU would be loaded to approximately 24 amps, leaving no

headroom for auxiliary devices, such as KVM switches, a TFT display, and rack

monitoring devices. Refer to table 9 for power statistics for the high voltage

10-chassis configuration.
