Ultra-Dense Servers for Rack Environments

BSTRACT

Rapid growth of application service providers (ASPs) and Internet service providers

(ISPs) fuels demand for ultra-dense servers in rack environments. Through innovative

mechanical and electrical design, Compaq has developed a high-performance 1U server

ideal for dedicated applications or web hosting. The highly modular Compaq ProLiant

DL360 server is a total, high-density solution for any computing environment, from the

data center to remote locations. Compaq provides multiple deployment option kits for

rapid, high-volume installation of ProLiant DL360 servers in Compaq 9000-Series and

7000-Series racks, in telecommunication (Telco) racks, in standard third-party racks, and

as desktop/stackable units. Compaq also provides written guidelines for deploying the

server most effectively using each option.

This field brief explains the technology innovations that significantly increase

serviceability and enable easy installation of up to 42 full-featured ProLiant DL360

servers in a standard 42U rack.

TECHNOLOGY BRIEF (cont.) TC000601TB 13 The ServerSet III chip set uses low-latency PC133 registered error checking and correcting SDRAM (3.3V, 133 MHz).2 Integrated voltage regulators provide the required voltages for both processors and chip set. The PCI/memory controller (north bridge) supports up to four doublesided DIMMs for a maximum system memory capacity of 4 GB (using 1-GB DIMMS). The server ships standard with a single 128-MB SDRAM module in one of four DIMM sockets.
