Energy-efficient management software that delivers centralized control,
reliable security, and energy savings for your BladeSystem
infrastructure. iPMP combines the total control of iLO 2 Advanced in the
area of remote management with the energy monitoring and control of
the Insight Power Manager to deliver a robust solution capable of full
remote control and power management of ProLiant servers through a
unified interface within HP Systems Insight Manager.
Enables the embedded Multifunction network controller to serve as
both a NIC and an iSCSI HBA providing access to SAN storage over
the same connection used for networking. Processing of the protocol
stack is offloaded to the NIC reducing CPU utilization and greatly
improving the speed with which the requests are processed and sent to
the network.
Upgrades the single-server remote management capabilities of iLO
Select/Advanced to include centralized reporting and policy-based
management of power consumption and thermal output provided by
the Insight Power Manager. IPM unifies all of this functionality within a
single user interface - HP Systems Insight Manager.

Rack Airflow
Requirements
Rack Kit
Rack 10000 series Cabinets
The increasing power of new high-performance processor technology requires increased cooling
efficiency for rack-mounted servers. The 10000 Series Racks provide enhanced airflow for
maximum cooling, allowing these racks to be fully loaded with servers using the latest
processors.
CAUTION: If a third-party rack is used, observe the following additional requirements to ensure
adequate airflow and to prevent damage to the equipment:
Front and rear doors: If your 42U server rack includes closing front and rear doors, you
must 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).
Side: The clearance between the installed rack component and the side panels of the rack
must be a minimum of 2.75 inches (7 cm).
CAUTION:

improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.
