Required Power Source

In the ProLiant BL p-Class infrastructure, redundant -48 VDC power (from the power enclosures or facility DC power) is distributed from the power enclosures to the server blade enclosures through the Compaq bus bar system. Hinges attach the ProLiant BL bus bars to the rails in a rack. The bus bars swing open from the centre to enable easy rear access to the server blades and network cables. Power is distributed redundantly through independent A- and B-sided bus bars.

Three different power distribution solutions are available depending on the maximum number of server blade enclosures planned for the rack:

• Compaq ProLiant BL p-Class scalable bus bar

• Compaq ProLiant BL p-Class mini bus bar

Note: To support a full 42U rack of BL20p server blades (6 server blade enclosures), two mini bus bars are

needed.

• Compaq ProLiant BL p-Class power bus box

• Must be capable of supporting 1600 lb (for full rack configuration)

• Perforated front and rear doors to accommodate front-to-back cooling

• Must have 65% open perforation on server blade enclosure doors to support airflow requirements

• Optimized for use with the Compaq 10000 Series racks

Note: If using Compaq 7000 Series rack, Compaq Rack Extension Kit and High Air Flow Rack Door options are

required.

• Rack 9000 and 10000 series Cabinets

The increasing power of new high-performance processor technology requires increased cooling efficiency for rack-mounted servers. The Compaq 9000 Series Rack and the new 10000 Series Racks provides enhanced airflow for maximum cooling, allowing these racks to be fully loaded with servers using the latest processors.

• Rack 7000 series Cabinets

When installing a server with processors running at speeds of 550 MHz or greater in Compaq Rack 7000 series racks with glass doors (165753-001 (42U), and 163747-001 (22U)), the new processor technology requires the installation of Compaq’s new High Airflow Rack Door Inserts (327281-B21 (42U), 327281-B22 (42U 6 pack), or 157847-B21 (22U)) to promote enhanced airflow for maximum cooling.

CAUTION: If a third-party rack is used, observe the following additional requirements to ensure adequate airflow

CAUTION: Always use blanking panels to fill all remaining empty front panel U-spaces in the rack. This

and to prevent damage to the equipment:

o Front and rear doors:

allow 830 square inches (5,350 sq cm) of hole evenly distributed from top to bottom to permit adequate airflow (equivalent to the required 64 percent open area for ventilation).

o Side:

arrangement ensures proper airflow. Using a rack without blanking panels results in improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.
