Definition

 

 

 

Concentrated load

 

The load that a floor panel can support on a 1-in2 (6.45 cm2)

 

 

area at the panel’s weakest point (typically the center of the

 

 

panel), without the surface of the panel deflecting more than

 

 

a predetermined amount.

 

 

 

Ultimate load

 

The maximum load (per floor panel) that the floor system can

 

 

support without failure. Failure expressed by floor panel(s)

 

 

breaking or bending.

 

 

Ultimate load is usually stated as load per floor panel.

 

 

 

Rolling load

 

The load a floor panel can support (without failure) when a

 

 

wheel of specified diameter and width is rolled across the

 

 

panel.

 

 

 

Average floor load

 

Computed by dividing total equipment weight by the area of

 

 

its footprint. This value is expressed in lb/ft2 (kg/m2).

 

 

 

Average Floor Loading

The average floor load value, defined in Table C-4,is not appropriate for addressing raised floor ratings at the floor grid spacing level. However, it is useful for determining floor loading at the building level, such as the area of solid floor or span of raised floor tiles covered by the hp rp7405/rp7410 server footprint.

Typical Raised Floor Site

This section contains an example of a computer room raised floor system that is satisfactory for the installation of an hp rp7405/rp7410 server.

Based on specific information provided by Hewlett-Packard, Tate Access Floors has approved its Series 800 all-steel access floor with bolt-together stringers and 24 in. (61.0 cm) by 24 in. (61.0 cm) floor panels.

In the event that the flooring is being replaced or a new floor is being installed, Tate Access Floors recommends its Series 1250 all-steel access floor with bolt-together stringers and 24 in. (61.0 cm) by 24 in. (61.0 cm) floor panels be used to support the server installation.

NOTE

If the specific floor being evaluated or considered is other than a Tate Series 800 floor, the

 

specific floor manufacturer must be contacted to evaluate the floor being used.

RP7405/7410 specifications

The HP RP7405 and RP7410 are high-performance servers in the HP Integrity line, specifically designed for mission-critical applications. These servers are built on the Itanium architecture and showcase HP's commitment to reliability, scalability, and performance. Targeted primarily at the enterprise market, both models are ideal for data-intensive workloads, virtualization, and large databases.

One of the standout features of the RP7405 and RP7410 is their robust architecture. The servers utilize HP's NonStop technology, ensuring high availability and fault tolerance. This architecture is designed to provide continuous uptime, which is crucial for businesses dependent on uninterrupted access to their data and applications. The RP7405 supports up to 4 processors, while the RP7410 can accommodate up to 8 processors, allowing for enhanced compute power and the ability to handle increasingly demanding workloads.

In terms of memory, the RP7405 and RP7410 support significant RAM configurations, making them capable of handling large memory-intensive applications. They are equipped with advanced memory management technology, including ECC (Error-Correcting Code) memory, which helps to detect and correct data corruption, thereby enhancing system reliability.

The servers employ HP's Virtual Partition (vPars) technology, which allows for efficient server consolidation by enabling multiple virtual servers to operate on a single physical machine. This capability enhances resource utilization and simplifies management, thus reducing IT costs while maximizing performance.

HP's Serviceguard clustering software is integrated into both servers, offering enhanced availability through active-active clustering and failover capabilities. This software ensures that workloads can be seamlessly transitioned between servers in the event of hardware failures or maintenance, further minimizing downtime.

Security is also a paramount consideration with the HP RP7405 and RP7410. The servers come equipped with advanced security features, including secure boot, encryption, and an array of compliance certifications, ensuring that sensitive data is protected against unauthorized access.

Additionally, the servers support a wide range of operating systems, including HP-UX, which is optimized for the Itanium architecture. This flexibility allows organizations to choose the operating environment that best suits their application needs.

In conclusion, the HP RP7405 and RP7410 are powerful servers designed for high-performance applications in enterprise environments. With their advanced architecture, extensive memory support, virtualization capabilities, and robust security features, these servers stand out as reliable solutions for organizations seeking to enhance their IT infrastructure while ensuring high availability and performance.
