Compaq ProLiant DL360

Ultra-Dense Server Deployment

in Compaq Racks

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

expedite concentrated deployment of many Compaq ProLiant DL360

servers in a Compaq rack. This white paper should be used in conjunction

with documents for the ProLiant DL360 server and Comp aq rack

deployment products. This paper is intended for Field Systems Engineers

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

and installers).

Executive Summary

Today's Internet world drives the need for unprecedented levels of server

based computing. Enterprises and Service Providers have found that many

of their network infrastructure and web applications work best on dedicated

servers. This has driven the need to fit more and smaller servers into

existing server rooms and data centers. Compaq fulfills this need with the

density-optimized line of ProLiant servers. The ProLiant DL360, just 1U

high, supports up to 42 servers in a single rack. While the space-saving

benefits are clear, the server also presents new challenges such as the need

for rapid deployment of servers into a rack, as well as environmental and

cable management.

Development of the ProLiant DL360 server is the result of close customer

collaboration and the long Compaq tenure in developing servers for space

constrained rack environments. Compaq engineers have produced

innovations in rapid volume deployment and improved cable management

for large installations of ProLiant DL360 servers. This white paper outlines

the products needed for specific Compaq rack deployment configurations,

including diagrams and parts lists for ease of planning.

Note: This document covers only the ProLiant DL360 server, the Compaq

9000- and 7000-series racks, and related Compaq rack options. This

document does not cover other Compaq servers or products, and racks not

manufactured by Compaq.

IMPORTANT: You may find it helpful to use the hyperlinks to locate

Compaq ProLiant DL360 Ultra-Dense Server Deployment in Compaq Racks 1 11 Introduction Compaq designed its new ultra-dense server, the ProLiant DL360, to face the strict challenges associated with a concentration of servers within a rack, including power distribution, and console, cable, and thermal management. In an effort to support the efficient deployment of multiple 1U servers in racks, Compaq suggests that customers evaluate their environments well in advance.

The height of a device, or form-factor, can be expressed in rack units (Us), for example 1U, 3U, 7U. The actual height of a device is somewhat less.

Additionally, KVM cables have the disadvantage of 0being very bulky to route especially from a rack to a number of KVM switches located off-rack. A local-console can be in-rack or off-rack. In this paper, in-rack local-console means a flat panel display on rails, and a keyboard/trackball on a sliding tray in the same rack as the servers.

UID LED and Switch – The Unit Identification LED can be used to indicate which ProLiant DL360 server is being upgraded or serviced. A UID switch, either from the front or the rear of the server, toggles both front and rear UID LEDs at the same time.

Compaq ProLiant DL360 Ultra-Dense Server Deployment in Compaq Racks 2.1 16 ProLiant DL360 Server Parameters This section describes the abbreviated measured and specification values for ProLiant DL360 parameters. Most parameters listed in Table 2-1 will be used as a reference in discussing power budgets and in calculating total rack configuration weight. The SA4200 option and the Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition option are PCI cards from Compaq.

Compaq ProLiant DL360 Ultra-Dense Server Deployment in Compaq Racks 17 3. Use the allocated input power, which can be calculated by dividing the maximum power of a PDU by the number of servers. This calculated power should be at least 200W, to support all the optional components initially released with the ProLiant DL360. The power budgets of optional components referred to (in the following sections) were derived from the system input power of a set of selectively measured server configurations.
PAGE 18
Compaq ProLiant DL360 Ultra-Dense Server Deployment in Compaq Racks 2.2.1 18 Input Current and Thermal Dissipation Calculations The input power is the key in deriving the input current and thermal dissipation. For a given input power, the input current will vary depending on the input voltage level. The relationship among the current, the voltage and the power for the power supply input is as follows: Input Current = Input Power / Input Voltage For example, Input Current = 100W /110V = 0.

Measured input power for selected server configurations Configuration Number ProLiant DL360 Configuration Power Input Typical / Peak 1 1x550 MHz, 1x128 MB, 1x18.4 GB (base-line) 90W / 110W 2 1x550 MHz, 2x128 MB, 2x9.2 GB, Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition 102W / 131W 3 1x800 MHz, 1x128 MB, 1x18.4 GB (base-line) 100W / 115W 4 2x800 MHz, 1x1 GB, 2x18.
PAGE 20
Compaq ProLiant DL360 Ultra-Dense Server Deployment in Compaq Racks 2.2.3 20 Input Power Budget De-rating If a deployment plan limits the future expansion beyond certain configurations, then adjustments may be made to the input current and thermal requirements based on the worst-case configuration for a specific site deployment. This section explains how to de-rate the input power budget. Assume that the power supply rated input power of 292W is for the “maximum” configuration.
PAGE 21
Compaq ProLiant DL360 Ultra-Dense Server Deployment in Compaq Racks 21 Adding back 2x128 MB DIMM: The peak input power of the server will be (219+(2*3)) = 225W. Therefore, the new power budget for this configuration is 225W (compared to the rated 292W), and the thermal dissipation will be approximately (225*3.41=) 765 BTUs/hour (compared to the rated 996 BTUs/hour). This de-rated input power budget significantly reduces the power and thermal requirements for highly populated racks.

Compaq ProLiant DL360 Ultra-Dense Server Deployment in Compaq Racks 2.3 22 PDU Choices Compaq offers several PDUs designed for use in high-volume rack deployments. Compaq PDUs have circuit breakers that provide over current and surge protection for connected devices to help prevent external equipment malfunction. Compaq offers a variety of PDUs that support both high- and low-voltage applications. Table 2-5 lists PDU options. Table 2-5.
PAGE 23
Compaq ProLiant DL360 Ultra-Dense Server Deployment in Compaq Racks 23 In Compaq 7000- and 9000-series racks, PDUs supporting a full rack of ProLiant DL360 servers must be installed vertically in the rack side panels to prevent interference with the server rack rails. Compaq Vertical-Mount PDU Bracket kits enable PDUs to be mounted vertically in the side compartments of 7000- and 9000-series racks. Compaq offers two Vertical-Mount PDU Bracket kits: 2.3.

Compaq ProLiant DL360 Ultra-Dense Server Deployment in Compaq Racks 4.2 64 Rack Preparation Most of the discussions in this section will focus around Compaq 42U racks. The rack selection criteria and recommendations are beyond the scope of this document. A bustle or an extension kit may be required if the installation will end up with several cables for all the ProLiant DL360 servers, for example, KVM cables described in Section 3.6 configuration.

Compaq ProLiant DL360 Ultra-Dense Server Deployment in Compaq Racks 65 Compaq strongly recommends the use of the 7000 Extension/Bustle Kit (P/N 154392-B21) to have more space at the rear of a 7142 rack for cable bundles. Compaq does not recommend transporting a 7142 rack when it is fully populated with ProLiant DL360 servers. 4.2.3 Attaching Multiple Racks Compaq offers baying or coupling kits designed to connect two or more 7000- or 9000-series racks together side by side.
