At A Glance

The HP ProLiant SL160z G6 server is part of a new family, HP ProLiant SL6000, of HP server solutions optimized for scale­out customers to greatly reduce costs, maximize power efficiency, by sharing power supplies and fans, and maintain total
flexibility.

Two independent HP ProLiant SL160z G6 Servers go into the 2U HP ProLiant z6000 G6 Chassis. The HP ProLiant SL160z
G6 Server is a two socket Intel server with 18 DDR3 DIMM sockets and support for a low profile x16 PCI-e Gen 2 and an
internal x4 PCI-e Gen 2 slot.

The HP ProLiant SL160z G6 is optimized for applications needing large amounts of memory and I/O expansion.

available in Windows Server® 2008. BitLocker leverages the enhanced security capabilities of a
Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 1.2. The TPM works with BitLocker to help protect user
data and to ensure that a server running Windows Server 2008 has not been tampered with while
the system was offline.

NOTE:

The TPM key is unique to every TPM deployed server and must be retained. Misplacing or

losing the key could result in data loss.

One 6' Highline (IEC-IEC) power cord ships standard

NOTE:

HP ProLiant DL servers no longer ship standard with NEMA power cords (163719-002)
that allow connection to 110V US wall outlets in a home or office. ProLiant DL servers are
primarily connected to PDU's in data center racks so they now ship standard with only a PDU
power cord (416151-B21). If a user wishes to power a ProLiant DL server using a 110V receptacle
(NEMA-15), the NEMA power cord (227099-001) must be ordered separately.

If customers require a local power cord, they can check the power cord matrix for the appropriate
cord. Please see the following power cord matrix:

Please see the UPS and PDU cable matrix's on the HP Power Protection and Management page.

Power Supply

Common Slot ProLiant

HP has a new design for ProLiant power- the new Common Slot Power Supply bay. This design
provides the customer with commonality in power supplies across multiple platforms to save on
the cost of spares and allows HP to offer multiple power solutions to fit the customers' needs.
Many HP ProLiant Servers come with Common Slot, High Efficiency and Right-Size Power
Supplies. The new HP Common Slot power supplies are designed for the highest power efficiency
without degrading performance of the ProLiant server. Power Supplies have efficiency ratings up
to 92%. There are three Right Size power options available depending on the configuration of your
server. To make sure you select the correct power supply to meet your configuration, please use
the HP Power Advisor at:

www.hp.com/go/hppoweradvisor

Compliant, Hot Plug and Redundant.

It is highly recommended that you use the HP Power Calculator in defining the "Right-Size" power
supply for your needs. HP offers three Power Supply Options:

460Watts, Common Slot,92% Efficiency
750Watts, Common Slot, 92% Efficiency
1200Watts, Common Slot, 90% Efficiency

The HP ProLiant Common Slot Power supplies meet multiple Energy Efficiency Initiatives: Climate
Savers Computing Initiative GOLD and ECOS Consulting 80PLUS GOLD for the 460w and 750w
Power Supplies and Climate Savers Computing Initiative Silver, ECOS Consulting 80PLUS Silver
for 1200w Power Supply. HP has also been working with the EPA on developing an ENERGY
STAR? Computer Server specification and plans on offering models that meet the requirements
when they are published. Please visit the ENERGY STAR website at:
updates on the specification development process and approved platforms.

Rack Airflow
Requirements

Rack Support

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:

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
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)

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:

HP ProLiant SL160z G6 models have two different rail kits to choose from:

If a third-party rack is used, observe the following additional requirements to ensure

Always use blanking panels to fill all remaining empty front panel U-spaces in the rack.

Memory

HP ProLiant SL160z G6 (all models)

NOTE:

Memory configurations listed do not apply to "Factory Integrated Models".

NOTE:

Charts do not represent all possible memory configurations.

DDR3 memory population guidelines

For detailed memory configuration rules and guidelines, please use the Online DDR3 Memory Configuration Tool:

www.hp.com/go/ddr3memory-configurator

Some DIMM installation guidelines are summarized below:

For servers with eighteen (18) memory slots:

There are three (3) channels per processor; six (6) channels per server
There are three (3) DIMM slots for each memory channel; eighteen (18) total slots
Memory channel 1 consists of the three (3) DIMMs that are closest to the processor

Memory channel 3 consists of the three (3) DIMMs that are furthest from the processor
DIMM slots that are white should be populated first
Do not mix Unbuffered memory (UDIMMs) with Registered memory (RDIMMs)
Do not install DIMMs if the corresponding processor is not installed
If only one processor is installed in a 2CPU system, only half of the DIMM slots are available
To maximize performance, balance the total memory capacity between all installed processors
It is not required, but it is recommended to load the channels similarly if possible
You can only have up to eight (8) ranks installed per channel
You can only install two quad-rank DIMMs per channel
You can only install two UDIMMs per channel; if available, the third slot in the channel must remain empty
Populate DIMMs from heaviest load (quad-rank) to lightest load (single-rank) within a channel
Heaviest load (DIMM with most ranks) within a channel goes furthest from the chipset
For memory mirroring mode, channel 3 must be unpopulated. Channels 1 and 2 are populated identically
For lock-step mode, channel 3 must be unpopulated. DIMMs in channels 1 and 2 will be installed in pairs. The paired
slots will be 1,4; 2,5; 3;6 on a 3DPC system or 1,4; 2,5; on a 2DPC system

Mixing DIMM speeds is allowed, but the system processor speed rules always override the DIMM capabilities
If you do mix DIMM speeds, the memory bus will default to the minimum clock rate of all DIMMs in the system - even if
the slower DIMM is on the other processor
If you install 1x 1066MHz DIMM in channel 1 and 1x 1333MHz DIMM in channel 2, you still run at 1066MHz

Memory

If you install 1x 1066MHz DIMM in channel 1 and 5x 1333MHz DIMMs with 1 DIMM Per Channel (DPC) in each of the
other channels, you run at 1066MHz
If you install 3DPC in one channel (if applicable) and 1DPC in all other channels, you run at 800MHz
95 Watt CPU's are required for 1333MHz DIMM speeds. All other CPU's are capable of up to 1066MHz
References to the above MHz speeds are for the various speeds of DDR3 DIMMs; 1333 refers to DDR3-1333, etc.
