NOTE:

To determine power configuration please refer to the ProLiant BL p-Class Overview and

ProLiant BL p-Class
Power Enclosure

3U (5.25-inch), 19-inch wide, 29-inch deep (0.48-meter wide, 0.74-meter deep), Dual input single
phase and three phase models available.

BL p-Class power enclosure provides external, shared hot-plug power. Each three-phase power
enclosure houses up to six hot-plug power supplies each single-phase power enclosures hold up
to four hot-plug power supplies to power the BL p-Class server blades and interconnects
Please use the sizing utility to determine the power needed for each configuration

http://h30099.www3.hp.com/configurator/powercalcs.asp

.

Power enclosures and power supplies are not needed if using facility DC (-48V DC ± 10%). If
using facility DC, only Facility DC Power Connection kit part number (240563-B21) is needed.

BL p-Class Power
Distribution

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 bus bar system. Hinges attach the ProLiant BL bus bars to the rails in a rack. The bus bars
swing open from the center 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:

ProLiant BL p-Class scalable bus bar
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.

Compatible with 19-inch Standard EIA rail sets
EIA rail-to-rail depth is 29 - 30"
Cabinet depth must be at least 36-inch deep overall (Additional min. 3.5-inch clearance from
rear RETMA rail to rear door, inclusive in the 36-inch overall depth)
Ample room for top and bottom cable egress (approximately 8 square inches for full rack
configuration with patch panel)
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 HP 10000 Series racks

NOTE:

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

required.

Rack Airflow
Requirements

Rack 9000 and 10000 series Cabinets
The increasing power of new high-performance processor technology requires increased
cooling efficiency for rack-mounted servers. The 9000 Series and the 10000 Series Racks
provide 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 Rack
7000 series racks with glass doors (165753-001 (42U), and 163747-001 (22U)), the new
processor technology requires the installation of the 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 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:

Always use blanking panels to fill all remaining empty front panel U-spaces in the rack.
This arrangement ensures proper airflow. Using a rack without blanking panels results in improper
cooling that can lead to thermal damage.

NOTE:

For additional information, refer to the Setup and Installation Guide or the Documentation
CD provided with the server, or to the server documentation located in the Support section at the
following URL:

Input over-current

Customer provided fusing for facility DC feeds that protects the system
from catastrophic over-current within 20 uS. Fuse should sustain all in­rush and operating currents.

Connection and
Cables

HP provided facility DC cable connection kit:

The facility DC connection kit supports the connection of up to four

-48VDC, RETURN pairs and ground.

The power cable assemblies consist of 1/0AWG, color-coded, flexible
cable rated at 105° C, terminated with bus mating connectors at one end
and unterminated at the other end. The cable length provided enables
the customer to route to a fuse panel within or adjacent to the rack.

NOTE:

*All systems support redundant A and B feeds. Scalable bus bars support dual A and dual
B feeds.
** Periodic and random noise (PARD). Maximum allowable peak-to-peak ripple and noise (as

measured at the load on any output channel). The ripple and noise is measured over a 20 Hz to
100 MHz frequency band. A resistive load (non-electronic) is used for this measurement. Each
output is by-passed to return by a 10uF tantalum capacitor with an ESR less than 100 milli-Ohms
in parallel with a 0.47 uF ceramic capacitor, at the point of load. The load cable is 12 feet of
twisted wire capable of carrying the current. The printed wiring board assembly is installed in its
enclosure for this measurement, or the measurement leads are properly shielded with Earth
grounds applied to the insert.
