Deploying Compaq ProLiant

DL320 and DL360 Servers into

Third-Party Racks

Abstract: Compaq ProLiant DL320 and ProLiant DL360 servers

were developed with high volume deployment in mind. As a result,

Compaq addresses environmental, thermal, mechanical, power,

installation, and service considerations for the server and

rackspecific options.

While Compaq 9000 and 7000 series racks are ideal for these

ultra-dense servers, Compaq recognizes that customers may want to

plan and implement deployments using third-party racks. This

document describes deployments involving the ProLiant DL320 and

ProLiant DL360 servers and the Compaq Third-Party Rack Option

Kit.

Compaq provides hardware, specifications, and guidelines for

deployment schemes using third-party racks as a service to its

customers.

PAGE 12
Deploying Compaq ProLiant DL320 and DL360 Servers into Third-Party Racks 12 Third-Party Rack Doors and Panels Most third-party rack enclosures are designed to be used in raised-floor computer rooms, with cool air being forced in from the bottom of the rack and exhausted through the roof. Therefore, the front and rear doors of most third-party racks are solid and permit no airflow.

Refer to the Setup and Installation Guide that ships with the server for information on installing options. Installing ProLiant servers in the Rack 1. Start by installing servers at the bottom of the rack and working upwards. 2. Slide the server 1 into the rack rails. 3.
