considerations
Power, thermal, and weight are the most important considerations for
optimizing a hardware installation in high-volume server environments.
In the standard single-processor configuration, the ProLiant DL560 server
includes one 550-watt power supply that can operate off high or low AC
power. Multi-processor configurations are shipped with two, fully redundant
power supplies. Single power supply units can be upgraded to a dual-power
supply configuration with a redundant power supply option kit. The power
supplies are hot-pluggable, allowing powered-up removal and replacement.
The ProLiant DL560 server uses an IEC C13-type AC plug that requires a power
cable with an IEC C14 receptacle at one end. Power cord kits that are
compatible with the physical and electrical requirements of the DL560 are
available from HP and listed later in this document.
Server maximum parameters, necessary to perform worst-case calculations for
the power, thermal, and weight requirements for any number of servers, are
provided in table 3 and table 4. For more precise calculations, refer to the
ProLiant DL560 Power Calculator utility or the Rack/Site Preparation Utility,
discussed later in this document.
The ProLiant DL560 server power specifications are provided in table 4. Values
are derived from the product specification, as well as the Power Calculator
utility, with a unit in the nominal and maximum configurations.
