HP ProLiant DL585 Server Technology - Technology Brief

Serviceability
The DL585 has a blue Unit ID light on the front and rear panels to assist technicians in
locating a specific server within a rack. A front panel LED displays internal and external
server health information. A QuickFind Diagnostic Display viewable through the top access
panel of the server schematically represents potential sources of error for all major
subsystems of the server (PCI-X I/O, memory, processor, redundant cooling, interlock, and
platform over-temperature condition) and gives instant visual indication of fault status.
The modularity and virtually cable-less interior design of the server provide easy, tool-free
access to all major subsystems and components. The server features front access to the
power supplies. Removal of the system board is tool free. PCI card guides lock full-length
PCI cards in place for transit and snap open for accessing the cards. The SCSI
duplex/simplex drive cage connects directly to system board without cables. Technicians
can configure this drive cage for simplex or duplex operation by means of simple switch.
Eight individually removable fans connect without cables to the system board.
Conclusion
The ProLiant DL585 server is a 4U rack-optimized, 4-way server created for large data center
deployments requiring enterprise-class performance, uptime, and scalability, plus ease of
management and expansion. It o
ffers customers running 32-bit applications increased
performance and memory addressability.
It provides a path to more powerful, 64-bit computing
while protecting x86 investments.
