HP DL360 Critical factors in intra-rack power distribution planning for high-d - Page 10

Sample power distribution solutions This section includes examples for implementing power distribution methods for various rack configurations. These configurations are examples only. Numerous configurations may be appropriate depending on factors mentioned earlier such as: • Server power consumption • Server configuration (number of processors, hard drives, expansion cards, etc.) • Server utilization • Redundant/non-redundant requirements NOTE: These sample configurations do not take into account battery backup (UPS) considerations. Rack configurations for distributing power to HP BladeSystem c-Class servers This section describes power distribution configurations based on the HP BladeSystem c-Class system using the HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure and modular or monitored PDUs (Figure 7). The HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure uses auto-ranging power supplies and supports redundant power supply configurations. Up to four BladeSystem c7000 enclosures can be installed in a standard 42U rack. Figure 7.
