New Technology

The Compaq ProLiant DL760 server has several new technology features.

PCI-X Support

PCI-X technology leverages the wide acceptance of the PCI bus and provides
an evolutionary I/O upgrade to conventional PCI. PCI-X technology increases
bus capacity to more than eight times the conventional PCI bus bandwidth —
from 133 MB/s with the 32-bit, 33-MHz PCI bus to 1066 MB/s with the 64­bit, 133-MHz PCI-X bus. It enhances the PCI protocol to develop an industry­standard interconnect that exceeds a raw bandwidth of 1 gigabyte per second
(GB/s) and will meet upcoming bandwidth needs of enterprise computing
systems. PCI-X provides backward compatibility with the PCI bus at both the
expansion board and system level.

Compaq ROM-Based Setup Utility Support

The Compaq ROM–Based Setup Utility (RBSU) will automatically configure
the system based on the operating system selected. RBSU supports a wide
range of customizable configuration features. RBSU replaces the System
Configuration Utility feature.

Faster Processor Support

The ProLiant DL760 server offers support for faster Intel Pentium III Xeon
processors. The server is capable of supporting up to eight processors and
eight Processor Power Modules. Each processor requires an associated
Processor Power Module. A ninth Processor Power Module is always present
to provide processor bus termination power.

NOTE: The server will NOT boot if the Intel Pentium III Xeon processors are NOT the same
speed.

Standard Features

The following features are available on Compaq ProLiant DL760 server

models.

Processor and Redundant Processor Power Modules

■ Supports up to eight Intel Pentium III Xeon processors

■ Optimal thermal dissipation

G Evaporator plate and water-cooled heat pipes are attached to each

processor

■ Processor Power Modules

G One redundant Processor Power Module per processor

G One Processor board Processor Power Module to power the board

for higher availability

Server Features 1-5

System Memory

■ ECC with single-bit error correction and detection to a single DIMM,

and multibit error detection to the memory bank

■ Supports 100 MHz Registered SDRAM

■ Expandable to 16 GB

■ Supports up to eight memory banks with each bank consisting of two

DIMMs. One bank is installed or removed at a time. Each DIMM of a
given bank must be of the same size, type, and speed.

Cache Accelerator

■ Increases system performance

■ Required for more than four processors or if processors are installed on

both processor buses

1-6 Compaq ProLiant DL760 Servers User Guide

Expansion Slots

The server has eleven 64-bit I/O expansion slots that are spread over three
separate buses.

■ The Primary Bus (slots 7-9) will support PCI expansion boards at

33 MHz.

■ The Secondary Bus (slots 1-6) will support PCI expansion boards at

33 MHz or PCI-X expansion boards up to 50 MHz.

■ The Tertiary Bus (slots 10-11) will support PCI expansion boards up to

66 MHz or PCI-X expansion boards up to 100 MHz.

NOTE: Most expansion boards will work in any slot selected, but optimum performance is
obtained when expansion boards are grouped by capability and placed in buses together.

NOTE: Compaq recommends installing 100-MHz PCI-X expansion boards in the Tertiary
Bus, and 66-MHz PCI-X expansion boards in the Secondary Bus.

Network Controller

Supports a dual-port 10/100 TX UTP controller on the PCI local bus. Features
of the controller include two RJ-45 connectors for 10BaseT or 100TX
Ethernet. For information about the network controller, refer to the Compaq
website at

http://www.compaq.com

Redundant Network Controller (NIC) software, located on the Compaq
Support Software CD, supports a redundant NIC configuration. This feature
may be used with one dual-port, two dual-port, or two single-port NICs.

NOTE: When not using the dual-port capabilities, install the terminator plug from the
second RJ-45 connector.

PCI Hot Plug

PCI Hot Plug provides the ability to remove, replace, upgrade, and add

PCI/PCI-X expansion boards without powering down the server. Any

PCI/PCI-X board can be placed in a PCI Hot Plug slot. PCI Hot Plug device

drivers and operating system support, however, are required to enable PCI

Hot Plug.

The PCI Hot Plug button allows for PCI Hot Plug access directly at each

PCI/PCI-X slot. A PCI Hot Plug button is located above each PCI/PCI-X slot,

providing PCI Hot Plug control directly at the server without the use of the

PCI Hot Plug utility software.

For more information about PCI Hot Plug, refer to the Server

Documentation CD.

Disk Controller

The Compaq ProLiant DL760 server is provided with a Dual Channel

Integrated Smart Array Controller. One channel is dedicated to the internal

drive bay and the other channel is connected to the external SCSI connector.

See Chapter 8, “Configuring the Server,” for descriptions of the features and

array setup procedures for these controllers

Server Features 1-7

.

Internal Hot-Plug Drive Bays

The internal hot-plug drive bays support four 1-inch, Ultra3 hard drives.

Drives may be of any storage capacity, but must be mounted on Compaq

universal drive carriers (hot-plug drive trays).

Internal drives are controlled by a Dual Channel Integrated Smart Array

Controller. See Chapter 8, “Configuring the Server,” for a description of the

integrated controller.

Fixed Internal Media Drive Bays

The fixed internal media drive bays support two non-hot-plug media drives:

■ SVGA, VGA, and EGA graphics resolution

Redundant Hot-Plug Power Supplies

■ The Compaq ProLiant DL760 server supports 1150/500W hot-plug

redundant power supplies.

WARNING: Hot-plug power supplies are not designed to be installed with AC
current connected to the power supply. To prevent personal injury or damage to
the equipment, be sure to disconnect the power supply from AC current prior to
its removal or installation.

■ Power supplies are load-balancing and have microcontroller monitoring

for advanced health and configuration management.

■ Supports up to two power supplies. See the Power Requirements section

of Chapter 2, “Installing the Server in a Rack,” to determine power
supply requirements.

Redundant Hot-Plug Fan

ProLiant DL760 servers include a 1+1 redundant hot-plug fan. If the primary
fan fails, the server generates a system alert and triggers the secondary fan to
take over automatically. This redundant hot-plug system fan protects the
various server components from overheating and possible system interruption.

2-8 Compaq ProLiant DL760 Servers User Guide

Grounding Requirements

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock due to high leakage currents,

a reliable grounded connection (earthed) is essential before connecting the unit
to an AC supply.

For proper operation and safety, this equipment is required to be properly
grounded. In the United States, install the equipment in accordance with
ANSI/NFPA 70, 1999, Article 250, as well as any local and regional building
codes. In Canada, the equipment should be installed in accordance with
Canadian Standards Association, CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code. In all
other countries the installation should follow any regional or national electrical
wiring codes, such as the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)
364, parts one through seven. All power distribution devices used in the
installation, including branch wiring, receptacles, and so on, should be Listed
or Certified ground-type devices.

Due to the higher ground leakage currents associated with the equipment,
Compaq recommends the use of a Power Distribution Unit (PDU) that
provides a supplementary ground conductor. This supplementary ground
conductor should be permanently connected to a suitable building ground
terminal. The use of common power outlet strips for this equipment is not
recommended.

NOTE: For further information on grounding methods in the workplace, see Appendix B,

“Electrostatic Discharge.”

Temperature Requirements

To ensure continued safe and reliable operation of the equipment, install the

system in a well-ventilated, climate-controlled environment.

The Compaq Maximum Recommended Ambient Operating Temperature

(TMRA) for most server products is 95°F (35°C). The temperature in the room

where the rack is located should not exceed 95°F (35°C).

The operating temperature inside the rack will always be higher than the room

temperature, and is dependent on the configuration of equipment in your rack.

The TMRA for each piece of equipment should be checked before installation.

The maximum internal rack temperature for your configuration should not

exceed the values shown in Table 2-2.

■ Ensure that the optional equipment does not impede airflow to the Rack-

Mountable ProLiant DL760 servers or increase the internal rack
temperature beyond the Compaq specified maximum rating.

■ Ensure that the Manufacturer’s Maximum Recommended Ambient

Operating Temperature of the optional equipment is not exceeded when
installed in the rack.

2-10 Compaq ProLiant DL760 Servers User Guide

Airflow Requirements

The Compaq ProLiant DL760 server draws cool air in through the front door
and exhausts warm air out through the rear door. Therefore, the front door of
the rack must be adequately ventilated to allow ambient room air to enter the
cabinet, and the rear door must be ventilated adequately to allow the warm air
to escape from the cabinet. Do not block the ventilation apertures.

CAUTION: If a third-party rack is used, the following minimum requirements
should be observed to ensure adequate airflow and to prevent damage to the
equipment:

■ Front: The rack door should have 120 square inches of holes evenly

distributed from top to bottom to permit adequate air flow.

■ Side: The clearance between the installed module and the side panels of

the rack should be a minimum of 2.75 inches.

■ Rear: The clearance between the back of the rack and the wall should be a

minimum of 30 inches, and the equipment should be operating without a
rear door.

CAUTION: If all of the vertical space in the rack is not filled by components, the
gaps left will cause a change in airflow through the rack and across the
components. These gaps need to be covered with blanking rack panels.

High Airflow Rack Door Insert

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

When installing this server in Compaq Rack 7000 and 4000 series, the new
processor technology requires the installation of a new Compaq High Airflow

Installing the Integrated Array Bypass

Use the Compaq ProLiant DL760 server Integrated Array Bypass kit to bypass
the Integrated Smart Array Controller (Ultra2 support) and use an optional
controller such as the Compaq 4200 Array Controller.

The Integrated Smart Array Controller is routed to the internal drives through
a daughter board, the Array Enabler Board, in the I/O module.

The Integrated Array Bypass kit allows you to replace the Array Enabler
Board with a connector and cable that you can connect to an optional
controller board such as the Compaq 4200 Array Controller.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the
internal system components to cool before touching them.

CAUTION: Back up your data any time you move drive arrays or change your
configuration.

To install the Integrated Array Bypass:

1. Shut down the operating system in an orderly manner as directed in your

operating system instructions.

2. Power down the server and disconnect the power cables.

3. Open the top access panel as shown in Chapter 3, “Server Access.”
