Compaq Ultra-Dense Server

Deployment in

Telecommunications (Telco)

Racks

Abstract: The Compaq ProLiant DL360 server was developed with

high volume deployments 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 this

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

plan and implement deployments using telecommunications (telco)

racks. This document describes deployments involving the Compaq

ProLiant DL360 server and the Compaq Telco Rack Option Kit.

Compaq provides hardware, specifications, and guidelines for

ultra-dense deployment schemes using telco racks as a service to its

customers.

Compaq Ultra-Dense Server Deployment in Telecommunications (Telco) Racks Telco Rack Option Kit for Compaq ProLiant DL360 Server Installation The Compaq Telco Rack Option Kit for Compaq ProLiant DL360 servers provides a complete mounting solution that adapts to a variety of telco racks. The telco rack rails adjust to accommodate telco rack frame thickness from 2 inches to 5.375 inches.

Compaq Ultra-Dense Server Deployment in Telecommunications (Telco) Racks 6 Cantilever Design The Compaq ProLiant DL360 server is 25 inches in depth. When properly installed using the Compaq Telco Rack Option Kit, the Compaq ProLiant DL360 server extends 5.625 inches in front 1, and 19.375 inches to the rear 2 of the front telco rack attachment point.

Compaq Ultra-Dense Server Deployment in Telecommunications (Telco) Racks 9 Dimensions Compaq designed the Compaq Telco Rack Option Kit to comply with EIA 310-D specifications for rack width. Table 2 lists the minimum dimensions for installing Compaq ProLiant DL360 servers using the Compaq Telco Rack Option Kit. When designing deployments of ultra-dense servers in telco racks, include the minimum airspace requirements for the server.
PAGE 10
Compaq Ultra-Dense Server Deployment in Telecommunications (Telco) Racks 10 Power Consumption The Compaq ProLiant DL360 server power supply is rated for a maximum 190W DC output. The maximum input AC power consumption is approximately 292W. • Using 110V AC power, a fully loaded system can draw up to 2.66A. • Using 208V AC power, a fully loaded system can draw up to 1.41A. Deployments of ultra-dense servers represent a significant power requirement.
PAGE 11
Compaq Ultra-Dense Server Deployment in Telecommunications (Telco) Racks 11 Managing thermal dissipation requires appropriate clearance and environmental design. Compaq specifies minimum adequate unrestricted airspace for the intake vents at the front and exhaust vents at the back of the server (see Figure 6) to allow for proper ventilation, but additional environmental measures may be required for your installation.
PAGE 12
Compaq Ultra-Dense Server Deployment in Telecommunications (Telco) Racks Installation Procedures for Telco Racks Adapt the following procedures to create deployments of ultra-dense Compaq ProLiant DL360 servers in a telco rack. Installing the Compaq Telco Rack Option Kit Rack Rails Install all rack rails to the telco frame before installing any servers. The rack rail mounting brackets adjust from 3 inches to 5 inches to accommodate varying telco frame thickness.
PAGE 13
Compaq Ultra-Dense Server Deployment in Telecommunications (Telco) Racks 13 Preparing the Server Install all internal options such as PCI boards, memory or processors before mounting the server into the rack. Refer to the Compaq ProLiant DL360 Server Operation and Reference Guide for information on installing options. Compaq ProLiant DL360 servers ship with standard server rails attached. These rails must be removed and replaced with the optional server rails included in the Telco Rack Option Kit.
PAGE 14
Compaq Ultra-Dense Server Deployment in Telecommunications (Telco) Racks 14 Installing Compaq ProLiant DL360 servers in the Rack After installing all the rack rails, start installing servers at the bottom of the rack and work upward. Slide the first server into the bottom set of rack rails. Secure the server to the rack rail nut using the thumbscrews attached to the server faceplate.

Compaq Ultra-Dense Server Deployment in Telecommunications (Telco) Racks 15 Console Management Choices and Cabling for Ultra-Dense Server Deployment The console management scheme determines cabling design and management. Two ways to design deployment of ultra-dense 1U Compaq ProLiant DL360 servers include: • Use of remote management option boards, such as the Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition, in each server. • Use of rack space to house console switches, monitors and keyboards.
PAGE 16
Compaq Ultra-Dense Server Deployment in Telecommunications (Telco) Racks 16 Local Console The Compaq ProLiant DL360 server can be cabled to a Compaq 1U console switch. Each of these low profile console switches provides connectivity for up to 8 servers. The console switches can be cascaded one level to provide connectivity for up to 64 servers. Using a 2U Compaq TFT display and Compaq keyboard options, customers can deploy Compaq ProLiant DL360 ultra-dense servers in minimal rack space configurations.
PAGE 17
Compaq Ultra-Dense Server Deployment in Telecommunications (Telco) Racks 17 Cabling Cabling will vary based on your I/O options. The Compaq ProLiant DL360 server ships with a 12 foot power cable. For specific cabling solutions developed by Compaq, refer to the white paper, “Compaq Ultra-Dense Server Deployment in Compaq Racks,” available on the Compaq website at www.compaq.

Compaq Ultra-Dense Server Deployment in Telecommunications (Telco) Racks Appendix A: Unit Identification In an ultra-dense server deployment, properly identifying a server requiring service can be difficult. The Compaq ProLiant DL360 server includes special LEDs that identify servers requiring service. Compaq ProLiant DL360 server Unit Identification (UID) features on both the front and rear of the server simplify server identification in deployments of ultra-dense servers.
