HP ProLiant DL585 Generation 2
Overview
At A Glance
The HP ProLiant DL585 G2, the best price/performance x86 4-processor server in the industry, supports the AMD Rev F
Opteron Dual-Core processors, further increasing the performance leadership of this system. Dual-Core AMD Opteron
processors enable a huge boost in performance over single-core processors.
The HP ProLiant DL585 G2 follows the award winning legacy of the HP ProLiant DL585 by offering exceptional
price/performance and price per watt metrics. The ProLiant DL585 G2 continues to maintain price: performance leadership,
especially with a variety of 32-bit application benchmarks. The 128 GB memory footprint enables most applications to run
faster or support more users than other systems and with the inclusion of Rev F processors the ProLiant DL585 G2 has now
been optimized for virtualization. The ProLiant DL585 G2 combines AMD Opteron processor technology, best-in-class
management and outstanding uptime features in an enterprise-class system ideal for large data center deployments.

Requirements
Rack 10000 series Cabinets

maximum cooling, allowing these racks to be fully loaded with servers using the latest processors.
CAUTION:
adequate airflow and to prevent damage to the equipment:
CAUTION:
This arrangement ensures proper airflow. Using a rack without blanking panels results in improper
cooling that can lead to thermal damage.
NOTE:
CD provided with the server, or to the server documentation located in the Support section at the
following URL:
If a third-party rack is used, observe the following additional requirements to ensure
Front and rear doors
you must allow 5,350 sq cm (830 square inches) of hole evenly distributed from top to
bottom to permit adequate airflow (equivalent to the required 64 percent open area for
ventilation).
Side
: The clearance between the installed rack component and the side panels of the
rack must be a minimum of 7 cm (2.75 inches).
Always use blanking panels to fill all remaining empty front panel U-spaces in the rack.
