Compaq ProLiant DL380

Generation 2 Server

High-Density Deployment in

Compaq Racks

Abstract: This white paper is intended for use as a planning guide

to expedite concentrated deployments of several

Compaq ProLiant



DL380 Generation 2 servers in a Compaq rack.

Use this white paper in conjunction with documents for the

ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 server and Compaq rack deployment

products. This paper is intended for Field Systems Engineers (FSEs)

and customers (IT managers, system managers, account managers,

and installers).

Executive Summary

Many business enterprises and service providers use network

infrastructure and web applications that work best on dedicated

servers. This creates the need to fit a large number of smaller servers

into existing server rooms and data centers. Compaq meets this need

with the density-optimized line of ProLiant servers such as the

ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 server. At a height of 2U each, up to

21 ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 servers can fit in a single Compaq

42U rack. While the ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 server has clear

space saving benefits, its compressed size presents new challenges

for rapid server deployment, as well as cable management and

environmental considerations.

Compaq engineers have developed innovations in rapid high-volume

deployment and improved cable management for large installations

of ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 servers. This white paper

introduces planning, power and thermal considerations, server and

rack requirements, and installation configurations. It also outlines the

products associated with high-volume deployment in Compaq rack

configurations.

IMPORTANT: This document discusses only the ProLiant DL380

Generation 2 server, the Compaq 7000- and 9000-series racks, and

related Compaq rack options. This document does not discuss other

Compaq servers or products or racks not manufactured by Compaq.

Server Warnings

Adhere to the following guidelines when servicing or installing a Compaq server:

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock or damage to the equipment:

• Unplug the power cord from the system.

• Do not disable the power-cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important

safety feature.

• Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible

at all times.

CAUTION: To properly ventilate the system, provide at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) of

clearance at the front and back of the computer.

CAUTION: The system is designed to be electrically grounded. To ensure proper

operation, plug the AC power cord only into a properly grounded (earthed) AC outlet.

Rack Warnings

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment:

• Do not attempt to move or relocate an equipment rack populated with servers. A fully

populated rack can weigh as much as 771 kg (1,700 lb). The rack may become

unstable and cause serious personal injury or equipment damage.

• Before installing the servers, extend the leveling jacks to the floor and rest the full

weight of the rack on the leveling jacks. Either install the stabilizer kit or couple

multiple racks together for stability.

• Always load the heaviest item first, and load the rack from the bottom to the top.

Loading in this manner makes the rack “bottom-heavy” and helps prevent the rack

from becoming unstable.

• Extend only one ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 server at a time. A rack may become

unstable if more than one ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 server is fully extended for

any reason.

CAUTION: Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the

rack.

Introduction

Compaq designed the dense ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 server to meet the challenges

associated with deploying a high concentration of servers in a single rack. Compaq suggests that

customers evaluate their environments, power distribution, console, cable, and thermal

management choices well in advance to ensure the efficient deployment of multiple

Compaq ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 Server High-Density Deployment in Compaq Racks 6

Compaq Confidential - Need to Know Required

14UH-0701A-WWEN

ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 servers in a rack. Use this document, in conjunction with the

documents listed in Appendix A, as a guideline for planning rack configurations for high-volume

deployments of ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 servers.

The “Power Distribution Units” section outlines Compaq PDU choices best suited for building

rack configurations. This section provides technical specifications for high- and low-voltage

PDUs. It also describes how to allocate the correct number and type of PDUs for specific rack

deployments.

The “Planning Rack Configurations” section provides weight information for individual rack

components to help address floor support requirements. It also describes cable systems.

The “Console Management Systems” section provides information on server management

options.

All discussions of power requirements for ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 servers are based on the

input power of the server. This document uses the maximum rated power supply input of 575 W

for calculation purposes. However, derating the input power may be effective to:

• Minimize the number of PDUs required for each rack.

• Match the rack current requirements with the existing circuit breaker capacity.

• Match the rack cooling requirements with the existing facility cooling capability.

For more information about input power derating, see Appendix C.

IMPORTANT: In this document, derating the input power budget means using less than the

maximum rated input power values for the power supply. To derate the input power, see

Appendix C. Compaq strongly recommends that the derated power budget satisfies all the

installation requirements, including future upgrade plans.

Refer to the Compaq ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 Server QuickSpecs for detailed specifications

and options for the ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 server.

Glossary

1U – A rack unit (1U) is 4.45 cm or 1.75 inches in vertical dimension. The height of a device,

(also known as form factor), can be expressed in rack units (Us). The ProLiant DL380

Generation 2 server is a 2U server.

1U Integrated Keyboard/Mouse/TFT −

−−

−The TFT5600 RKM (rack-mount keyboard and

monitor) is a 1U integrated keyboard and monitor. Its full 15-inch TFT active matrix display

provides flicker-free, quality display at viewing angles up to 120 degrees horizontally and

105 degrees vertically.

Flat Panel Display (FPD) – A Compaq TFT5010R (15-inch) flat panel monitor provides a large

image size and exceptional screen performance in a space-saving 2U size that enables the

monitor to be neatly tucked away when not in use.

High-voltage – AC line voltage of 200 V to 240 V. With higher voltage levels, a server can use a

lower current and still meet its power requirements. Compaq recommends using a high-

voltage source to support high-volume deployments of ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 servers

in a rack.

In-Rack Keyboard – The 1U Rack Keyboard Drawer and the Internal Keyboard with Trackball

are designed to work together to save room in space-constrained, rack-mount environments.

The 1U Keyboard Drawer requires only half the Compaq rack depth and provides enough

space behind it to mount a Compaq Server Console Switch.

Keyboard/Video/Mouse (KVM) – KVM refers to a keyboard cable, a video cable, a mouse

cable, or a switch. Some Compaq parts lists may refer to KVM switches as Server Console

Switches.

Local Console –A local console system interacts with a server using a set of KVM devices and

can be in-rack or off-rack. In this paper, in-rack local console refers to a flat panel display

Compaq ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 Server High-Density Deployment in Compaq Racks 9

Compaq Confidential - Need to Know Required

14UH-0701A-WWEN

and a keyboard/trackball in the same rack as the servers. Off-rack local console refers to any

combination of a display, a keyboard, and a pointing device located outside of the rack. A

local console system does not use a network connection to interact with the server.

Low-Voltage – AC line voltage of 100 V to 120 V.

N.A. – North America, including U.S., Canada, and Mexico.

Network Interface Controllers (NICs) – Controllers that are embedded on the system board of

the ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 server.

Power Distribution Unit (PDU) – A PDU is a high-voltage or low-voltage device that is

equipped with circuit breakers that help prevent electrical surges and external equipment

malfunction by providing over current and surge protection for connected devices. See the

“Power Distribution Units” section of this paper.

Remote Console – A remote console is a server console system that uses a network connection to

interact with the server. This system enables any computer with appropriate software and

network access to control a server from anywhere across the globe. Compaq recommends

using the remote-console system for managing a large number of servers because it

eliminates the congestion of KVM cabling.

Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition – The Compaq Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition is

designed to provide remote access and control of Compaq ProLiant server products from

anywhere on the network with a standard web browser. Consequently, customers can deploy

a ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 server in a true “headless” fashion with a minimum of only

three cables per server: one power cord for the server, one network cable for the LAN

connection, and one network cable for the Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition management

LAN connection. Using the Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition, customers can deploy 21

ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 servers in a 42U Compaq rack with significantly fewer cables

than in a local console.

Server Console Switch – A device that enables multiple servers in a rack to be accessed and

managed by a single keyboard, mouse, and monitor. These switches are also known as KVM

switches.

Sliding Rail – A toolless rack management system designed for Compaq 7000- and 9000-series

racks that supports in-rack serviceability for ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 servers.

UID LED and Switch – The blue Unit Identification LED identifies the ProLiant DL380

Generation 2 server requiring service. A UID switch toggles both the front and rear UID

LEDs simultaneously.

Wake on LAN (WOL) – An option that enables a remote restart of the server.
