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.
DL380 Generation 2 servers in a Compaq rack.
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.

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.

In Compaq 7000- and 9000-series racks, the 295363-xxx PDU series 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:
Compaq Vertical-Mount PDU Bracket (P/N 191265-B21): This kit includes eight brackets that support four PDUs. This kit works best with low-voltage applications that use the power cord included with the server.
Compaq Vertical-Mount PDU Bracket with High-Voltage Cables (P/N 166097-B21): This kit includes 11 Y-cables and 4 brackets that support 2 PDUs. This kit works best with high­voltage, high-current PDUs. Using the Y-cables enables each power outlet on the PDU to supply power for 2 servers.

Figuring Type and Number of PDUs
The type and number of PDUs required to power a full rack of servers depends on each server’s power requirement, the number of servers deployed in the rack, and the available power for the servers.
Compaq PDUs support both high-voltage and low-voltage applications. The input current rating for a ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 server is either 3.2 A at 200 to 240 volts or 6.4 A at 100 to 120 volts. To determine the number of servers supported by a PDU, divide the PDU’s current rating by the server’s total input current rating.
IMPORTANT: The examples shown in the following sections use the maximum rating of the power supply. They are for reference only.
Non-Redundant Power
The following examples illustrate how to calculate the number of servers per PDU when using non-redundant power.
Example
One high-voltage PDU (P/N 207590-D72) has a current rating of 24 A. The server has a total input current rating of 3.2 A at 200 volts.
24 A (PDU current rating) / 3.2 A (server total input current rating) = 7
This PDU can support a maximum of 7 servers at full server input current ratings.
Example
One low-voltage PDU (P/N 207590-D71) has a current rating of 24 A. The server has a total input current rating of 6 A at 100 volts.
24 A (PDU current rating) / 6.4 A (server total input current rating) = 3
This PDU can support a maximum of 3 servers at full server input current ratings.
Redundant Power
The ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 server supports a redundant power supply. The power supply for this server automatically senses input voltage level.
When using redundant power, it is necessary to use two PDUs per server. The following examples illustrate how to calculate the number of servers per pair of PDUs when using redundant power.
Example
Two high-voltage PDUs (P/N 207590-D72) have a combined current rating of 48 A. The server has a total input current rating of 3 A at 200 volts (redundant power).
2 [24 A (PDU current rating) / 3.2 A (server total input current rating)] = 7
These PDUs can support a maximum of 7 servers at full server input current ratings.
Example
Two low-voltage PDUs (P/N 207590-D71) have a current rating of 48 A. The server has a total input current rating of 6 A at 100 volts (redundant power).

Selecting Server Power Cords
The appropriate server power cord to use depends on the cable management system installed in the rack. Generally, the sliding rail cable management system requires a power cord that is
1.8288 m (6 ft) in length. This length provides enough slack for the power cord to route through
the cable management arm.
High-Voltage Y-Cables
The Vertical-Mount PDU Bracket with High-Voltage Cables kit includes 11 Y-cables, each of which is 3.0 m (10 ft) long. The single-cord PDU section is 1.8 m (6 ft) long, and the dual-cord server section is 1.3 m (4 ft) long. See Table 7 for part numbers.
Y-cables have a single-cord section with an IEC connector that connects to the PDU, a dividing joint in the center, and a dual-cord section with IEC connectors that connect to the servers. One Y-cable supplies power from the PDU to two ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 servers in the standard configuration or one ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 server in the maximum configuration.
CAUTION: When installing server power cords into the PDUs, ensure that the load is balanced among the output circuit breakers. Do not exceed the ratings of the circuit breakers.

Off-Rack Local Consoles
When an off-rack local console is used, certain components such as console switchboxes, keyboards, and video displays do not populate space in the rack, but are located in close proximity to the rack. Because of this, the rack can be fully populated with servers. Cable lengths for connecting servers to an off-rack local console vary in length depending on the location of the console.
Each server deployed in a fully populated rack with an off-rack console management system requires the following accessories for successful deployment and operation:

Planning Rack Configurations
Consider several important factors when planning a rack configuration:
The number of servers deployed in the rack
The number of other devices such as keyboards, keyboard drawers, video displays, and
console switchboxes that support the servers
The number of PDUs and their orientation
The type of rack
The rack management system
The console management system
All of these factors influence floor support requirements, future service and upgrade requirements, and installation requirements.
Table 12 lists the weight and power specifications for Compaq racks and rack option products. To calculate floor support requirements for a particular rack configuration, add the weight measurements to calculate the total weight of a rack fully populated with ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 servers. See the following example:
1 × 21 ×
21 × 3 × 22 × 21 ×
Total configured rack weight 810 kg (1,800 lb)
9142 rack 114 kg (253 lb) ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 server

WARNING: Follow these guidelines to reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment:
Do not install a ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 server into a rack until the rack has been placed in its final location.
Pre-install slide rails, PDUs, power cords, and cables into the rack in a build room or other location before moving the rack to its final location.
Extend the leveling jacks to the floor and rest the full weight of the rack on the jacks
efore installing any servers. The casters are not designed to support the full weight of
a populated rack.
Do not move a rack populated with servers. A fully populated rack can weigh up to 1,800 pounds. Moving a populated rack can cause the rack to become unstable, resulting in serious personal injury or equipment damage.
To effectively cool the ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 servers in a 7000-series rack, replace the front door of the rack with the High Air Flow Rack-Door Insert before deploying the servers in the rack. See Table 13 for rack-door insert part numbers.
Compaq strongly recommends using the Compaq Rack Extension kit (P/N 154392-B21) to alleviate any space problems for cable bundles at the rear of 7000-series racks.

Rack Management Systems
Compaq recommends using the standard rack rails and cable management arm. The rack management solution installed in the rack determines the position of the PDUs installed in the rack side panels. To determine the best rack management solution, consider the service and upgrade demands of the servers deployed in the rack.
IMPORTANT: Read the Compaq Ultra-Dense Server Deployment in Third-party Cabinet Racks or the Compaq Ultra-Dense Server Deployment in Telco Racks before deploying ProLiant
DL380 Generation 2 servers in a third-party rack or Telco rack.
Standard Rack Rails
The standard rack rails and cable management arm work best with a rack of servers that are frequently serviced or upgraded. With this solution, a server can be powered down and serviced without disconnecting the server cables or removing the server from the rack.
The standard rack rails and cable management arm are designed for 29-inch deep, square-hole racks. The sliding rack rails compress and snap securely in place in the rack without screws or nuts.
The cable management arm attaches directly onto the rear of the server and the rear of the rack. It secures and routes the cables along the rear of the rack. This not only prevents the cables from sagging and tangling, but it also enables proper air ventilation through the rack while enabling the servers to be fully extended without disconnecting any of the server cables.
The standard rack rails and cable management arm are conducive to in-rack servicing and provide convenient access to the server cables and connectors. Refer to the Compaq ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 Setup and Installation Guide for complete installation instructions.
Third-Party Rack Cabinet Solution
Because not all customers use Compaq racks, the ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 server design supports deployment in third-party rack cabinets. Compaq offers a Third-Party Rack Cabinet kit to use in installing ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 servers in third-party racks. This kit includes variable length rack rails that are compatible with a variety of third-party racks. The Third-Party Rack Cabinet kit can be installed in racks that are 610 mm (21 inches) to 740 mm (29.13 inches) deep.
IMPORTANT: Always install the Compaq Third-Party Rack Cabinet kit when deploying a ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 server in a third-party rack. The kit supports the same cable management arm that the standard fixed rack rail solution uses.

4. The ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 server ships with rack rails and a cable management arm. Remove the server rails from the standard rack rails and attach them to the server. Attach the cable management arm to the rear of the server before installing the server in a rack.
Refer to the Compaq ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 Server Setup and Installation Guide and the rack option documentation for detailed installation instructions.
Third-Party Rack Cabinet Solution and Cable Management Arm
The standard rack rails and cable management arm that are included with the ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 server are required for the third-party Rack Cabinet option kit. Before deploying ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 servers into a third-party rack, install the slide rail assembly on the third-party rack rail. For detailed instructions on deploying ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 servers into a third-party rack, refer to the documentation that ships with the third­party rack-mounting kit (P/N 228894-B21).
IMPORTANT: Read the Compaq Ultra-Dense Server Deployment in Third-Party Cabinet Racks before deploying ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 servers in a third-party rack.
Telco Rack Solution
The Telco Rack kit includes replacement server rails designed to fit on the ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 server. Before deploying ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 servers into a Telco rack, remove the standard server rails and replace them with the Telco server rails included in the Telco Rack kit. For detailed instructions on deploying ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 servers into a Telco rack, refer to the documentation that ships with the Telco rack-mounting kit (P/N 228892-B21).
IMPORTANT: Read Compaq Ultra-Dense Server Deployment in Third-party Cabinet Racks or Compaq Ultra-Dense Server Deployment in Telco Racks before deploying ProLiant DL380
Generation 2 servers in a third-party rack or Telco rack.
Installing Power Distribution Units
PDU installation varies depending on the rack configuration, the number of servers deployed in the rack, the selected type of PDU, and the voltage and current rating for each PDU. The 295363-xxx series of PDUs must be mounted vertically in the side panels of the rack. See the “Power Distribution Units” section for information about the Vertical-Mount PDU Bracket kits available from Compaq. The installation card in the Vertical-Mount PDU Bracket kit contains detailed instructions for installing the Vertical-Mount PDU Brackets on a PDU and in a rack.
Positioning PDUs in 36U and 42U Racks
The position of the PDUs in the rack side panels varies depending on the rack size, the number of servers deployed in the rack, and the cable management solution. As a rule, install PDUs from the bottom to the top on the same side of the rack as the cable management arm (viewing the rack from the front).
Installing PDUs in a 36U or 42U Rack
Before installing PDUs in a 36U or 42U rack, you may need to remove the center support bracket and center it between the PDUs. Install the PDUs on the same side of the rack as the cable

Routing Power Cords
Use the following general procedures to route server power cords in 36U and 42U racks.
IMPORTANT: When installing server power cords into the PDUs, ensure that the load is balanced among the output circuit breakers.
High-Voltage Power Cords
To route and connect low-voltage power cords:
IMPORTANT: Route and connect the high-voltage power cord to the PDU after the server is installed.
1. Connect the power cord to the server and route it through the cable management system with the other server cables.
2. Route the power cord inside the rear rack support to the PDU.
High-Voltage Y-Cables
To route high-voltage Y-cables:
1. Connect the single-cord section of the Y-cable to the PDU installed on the same side as the cable management tray.
2. Align the Y-joint with the rear rack support and center it between the rack rails of the two servers that the Y-cable supports.
3. Use two plastic tie wraps to secure the Y-joint to the rack support.
4. After installing the servers, connect the cables to the servers and route them through the cable management system with the other server cables.
Low-Voltage Power Cords
To route and connect low-voltage power cords:
IMPORTANT: Route and connect the low-voltage power cord to the PDU after the server is installed.
1. Connect the power cord to the server first and route it through the cable management system with the other server cables.
2. Route the power cord inside the rear rack support to the PDU.
IMPORTANT: In 7000-series racks, route the power cables from the servers to the PDUs through the gap in the rear of the rack rail.

Installing the Rack Rails
The following procedure describes how to install the standard rack rails onto the rack. The rails are designed to snap in place without screws or nuts.
1. Remove the server rails from the left and right standard rails.
2. Insert the rails into the rack holes.
3. Install the server rails on the chassis.
4. Insert the server into the rack.
5. Install the cable management arm.
6. Cable and power up the server.
Repeat the procedure for any subsequent rack rails. For detailed instructions on installing standard rack rails, refer to the Compaq ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 Server Setup and
Installation Guide and to the Compaq ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 Hardware Configuration and Installation Poster.
CAUTION: Always install servers from the bottom of the rack to the top. Installing servers in this manner provides more stability for the rack and reduces the risk of the rack tipping over.
IMPORTANT: Before installing the rack rails for the standard rack rails and cable management arm, remove the server rails from the slide rail assembly. See the “Preparing the ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 for Rack Installation” section in this paper for more information.
IMPORTANT: Install a ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 server in every U-space from the bottom to the top for maximum density.

Installing a Server in a Rack
Install ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 servers in the rack from the bottom to the top. Tighten the thumbscrews on the front of each server to secure the server to the rack. Attach the cable management arm to the rear of the server and to the rear of the rack.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, fire, or damage to the equipment:
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.
Load the heaviest item first and load the rack from the bottom to the top. Loading the
rack in this manner makes the rack “bottom-heavy” and helps prevent the rack from becoming unstable.
Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack.
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.

Connecting Cables
This section discusses connecting and routing cables with different cable management solutions and different console management solutions.
In-Rack Local Console
To install cables with in-rack local consoles:
1. Connect the cables to each device installed in the rack, working from the bottom to the top.
2. Connect the cables to the bottom piece of equipment.
3. Bundle the cables and route them through the cable management arm.
4. Connect the cables to the console switchbox.
5. Connect the power cord to the PDU. Do not connect the PDU to any power source until all equipment is fully deployed in the rack.
Refer to Compaq ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 Server Setup and Installation Guide for the recommended order for connecting cables.
When the cables are properly connected and routed through the cable management arm, the rear door of the rack closes easily over the cables. If the rear door does not close easily, additional space may be required. Install the rack extension or the bustle kit to provide more space for the cables at the rear of the rack.
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.
Do not route the power cord where it can be walked on or pinched by items placed against it. Pay particular attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the cord extends from the server.
IMPORTANT: In 7000-series racks, route the power cables from the servers to the PDUs through the gap in the rear of the rack rail.
Off-Rack Local Console
Use the in-rack local console procedure for the cable management arm installed in the rack to connect and route cables with an off-rack local console. Longer cables may be required to reach an off-rack console. See Table 11 for information on CPU-to-switchbox cables available from Compaq.

Appendix C – Power and Thermal Budgeting
This appendix provides the information and worksheets necessary to calculate power and thermal budgeting for your system. However, for the most accurate, updated power and thermal budgeting calculations for your particular configuration, Compaq recommends using the online power calculator. To use the calculator, visit the Compaq Active Answers website:
activeanswers.compaq.com/aaconfiguratorcode/configurationUi.asp?HTMLFilename=Country
Note: In this document, derating the input power budget means using less than the maximum rated input power values for the power supply. Verify that the derated power budget satisfies
all the installation requirements including future upgrade plans.
Use either of the following methods to determine the lower input power requirement for ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 servers:
Use the derated input power. Calculate this value by using the supplied worksheet at the end of this appendix.
Use the allocated input power. Calculate this value by dividing the maximum power of a PDU by the number of servers. This calculated power must be at least 421 W to support all the optional components initially released with the ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 server.
Table 17 demonstrates how calculating the derated input power of the system can significantly reduce input current and thermal dissipation.
Table 17. Derated Current and Thermal Dissipation for Reduced Input Power Assumptions
Input Power Derated Fully Rated
226 W 421 W 575 W
Input Current @115 VAC 2.0 A 3.8 A 6.4 A
Input Current @220 VAC 1.0 A 1.9 A 3.2 A
Thermal Dissipation 770 BTUs/hour 1435 BTUs/hour 1961 BTUs/hour
The derated input power values of 226 W and 421 W can be correlated with the measured input power values for the minimum and maximum configurations of ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 servers and optional components outlined in this paper. However, the derated input power value must be high enough to account for any future upgrades.
Carefully derating the input power may satisfy deployment needs and reduce the number of PDUs per rack.

Input Current and Thermal Dissipation Calculations
The input power is necessary for determining the input current and thermal dissipation. For a given input power, the input current varies 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 = 100 W /110 V = 0.91 A
Input Current = 100 W /208 V = 0.48 A
The thermal dissipation can be calculated from the input power as follows:
Thermal Dissipation = Input Power
3.41
For example,
Thermal Dissipation = 100 × 3.41 = 341 BTUs/hour
Thermal Dissipation = 200 × 3.41 = 682 BTUs/hour
The easiest way to calculate the thermal dissipation for the entire rack is to add the input power requirements for all the servers and other units populated in a rack and then multiply the total input power by 3.41. The total thermal dissipation helps determine cooling and environmental requirements for the populated rack.
The following section, “Measured Input Power,” further explains the effects on input power and thermal calculations from adding or removing subsystem components.
Measured Input Power
Table 18 lists the measured input power of the ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 server with varying subsystem components to illustrate the effects of adding or removing optional components. The “typical” input power values were measured during idle/normal operations.

Input Power Budget Derating
This section explains how to derate the input power budget. The maximum rated power supply input power is 575 W.
To derate the input power, start with the minimum configuration 0 from Table 18. Add the typical power of the components included in the desired system configuration to calculate the derated power budget. Typical input powers for various components are listed in Table 19.
Example
Assume the desired server configuration is: 2 × 1.13 GHz, 4 × 128 MB, and 2 × 18.2 GB.
Use Table 20 to calculate the derated power budget using the typical power from Tables 18 and
19.
Table 20. Example Derating Worksheet
Maximum Rated Input Power (in watts) for the base configuration Typical Power 226 W
1. Add the typical power for the processor. 27 W
2. Add the typical power for the memory. 2 W
2 W
3. Add the typical power for the HDD. 10 W
10 W
4. Add the typical power for the PCI card.
Typical power for the desired configuration (in watts) 278 W
5. Calculate the thermal dissipation.
Thermal dissipation for the desired configuration (in BTUs) 947 BTUs/hour
× 3.41
Therefore, the new power budget for this configuration is 278 W (compared to the rated 575 W), and the thermal dissipation is approximately 947 BTUs/hour (compared to the rated 1961 BTUs/hour).
This derated input power budget significantly reduces the power and thermal requirements for highly populated racks, which reduces the number of PDUs for certain configurations. Fewer PDUs increases deployment time and lowers costs. Costs for the facility electrical plumbing, data center floor ventilation, and facility air conditioning installation can be reduced.
IMPORTANT: Compaq strongly recommends verifying that the derated power budget satisfies all the installation requirements, including future upgrade plans.
