Rack Airflow

Rack 10000 G2 series Cabinets

Requirements

The increasing power of new high-performance processor technology requires increased cooling

 

efficiency for rack-mounted servers. The 10000 G2 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 holes 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: www.hp.com/servers/proliantdl385G6.

 

 

 

Rack Kit

Quick deploy rail system provides tool-free support for racks with square or round mounting holes

 

(including Compaq/HP 7000, 9000, 10000 G2 and HP series), with an adjustment range of 24" -

 

36". The ambidextrous cable management arm can be mounted on either the left or right side for

 

improved cable management.

 

NOTE: Cable management arm must be removed to access hot-plug power supplies when the

 

cable management arm is mounted on the right.

 

NOTE: High Airflow Inserts (High Air Flow Rack Door Insert for the 7142 Rack (single) - PN:

 

327281-B21; or High Air Flow Rack Door Insert for the 7142 Rack (6-pack) - PN: 327281-B22) are

 

required to support the HP ProLiant DL385 in 7000 series racks. The DL385 Cable Management

 

Arm is not supported on 7000 series racks.

DL385 specifications

The HP DL385 is a robust, versatile server designed primarily for virtualization, database processing, and intensive data applications. This server is well-regarded in environments requiring efficient power management, high performance, and excellent storage capabilities. The DL385 series leverages AMD EPYC processors which provide superior performance and more cores per socket compared to previous generations, thus enhancing multitasking and workload management.

One of the standout features of the HP DL385 is its ability to support large memory configurations. With support for up to 4TB of memory, the server is ideal for memory-intensive applications. Its 8 DIMM slots per CPU, paired with advanced memory technologies, ensure that data is processed quickly when demands peak.

The DL385 also offers outstanding storage options. It supports a variety of drive types, including SSDs and HDDs, and provides flexible RAID configurations for improved data protection and performance. The server can be configured with up to 30TB of storage capacity using dense, high-capacity drives, allowing organizations to handle large volumes of data without compromising access speed.

In terms of management and security, the server comes equipped with HPE's Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) technology, which provides advanced remote management capabilities. This allows IT administrators to monitor the health and performance of the server from anywhere, minimizing downtime and improving operational efficiency. The iLO also features enhanced security protocols to protect sensitive data against breaches and unauthorized access.

Power efficiency is another key characteristic of the HP DL385. It utilizes advanced power supply options and cooling technologies to reduce energy consumption, which translates to lower operational costs over time. This makes the DL385 an environmentally friendly choice for data centers looking to minimize their carbon footprint.

Scalability is crucial for many organizations, and the HP DL385 excels in this area. It can accommodate future upgrades in CPU, memory, and storage, making it a future-proof investment for businesses anticipating growth. Additionally, its compatibility with HPE's OneView management software provides a streamlined, intuitive approach to resource management.

In conclusion, the HP DL385 is a powerful server that combines high performance, advanced features, and robust security measures. Its ability to handle demanding workloads, coupled with its extensive management options and energy efficiency, makes it an excellent choice for organizations seeking reliability and scalability in their computing solutions.
