Configuration factors
Rack configuration software
To help you plan your rack configuration more efficiently, HP provides eCo-Enterprise Configurator, a
powerful web-based service that enables you to build, store, and export end-to-end rack configurations.
HP strongly recommends that you configure the rack using the eCo-Enterprise Configurator, which
provides factory default racking. The latest version of the software is available on the HP website
HP eCo-Enterprise Configurator
(http://h30099.www3.hp.com/eGlue/eco/begin.do
HP Custom Builder was retired from service on 12 December 2005.
If you require factory default racking for the HP hardware portfolio, you can still use the HP eCo-Enterprise
Configurator, which is available on the HP website
(http://h30099.www3.hp.com/eGlue/eco/begin.do
).
).
If you require custom rack configuration capabilities, contact the HP Customer Business Center or an HP
authorized partner for assistance.
The HP eCo-Enterprise Configurator now provides factory default racking for HP hardware. This approach
is aligned with the strategic direction to meet the needs and expectations of valued customers. If you
require a custom rack configuration, contact the HP Customer Business Center or an authorized partner
for assistance.

performance with minimum maintenance for your rack environment.
