for estimating system power requirements could yield inflated numbers that result in excessive power infrastructure costs. Figure 1 illustrates how the use of nameplate ratings can distort power distribution planning. The ProLiant DL380 G6 implements the HP Common Slot Power Supply bay.

more power than typical user applications. Calculator development HP developed the HP Power Advisor using data collected from testing HP ProLiant servers. Each test starts with a system fully configured with the maximum number of processors, memory, hard drives, expansion cards, and power supplies - HP ProLiant DL160se | HP Power Advisor utility: a tool for estimating power requ - Page 6
DL, SL, and some ML server chassis mount directly into the racks. For HP ProLiant BL (BladeSystem) components, the user must select a BladeSystem c-Class enclosure and then configure each enclosure with the desired components.

with an HP c-Class BladeSystem. Rack configuration with HP DL160 G6 servers This example consists of a standard 42U rack configured with 24 HP DL160 G6 servers. For this calculation, each DL160 G6 server is configured with an Inte®l Xeon® E5520 processor, four gigabytes of DDR3 memory, four 250 - HP ProLiant DL160se | HP Power Advisor utility: a tool for estimating power requ - Page 11
While a standard 42U rack can physically accommodate 42 ProLiant DL160 G6 servers, it is advisable to allow space for server expansion, power distribution components, keyboard/video/mouse (KVM) equipment, or networking components.

This example describes a standard 42U rack configured with 20 HP DL380 G6 servers. For this calculation, each DL380 G6 server is configured with two Intel Xeon E5502 processors, 24 gigabytes of DDR3 memory, eight 120-GB SATA hard drives and two Smart Array Controller cards (Figure 11).

Figure 12. Power calculation for 20 HP DL380 G6 servers The Power Advisor determines that a rack configuration of 20 DL380 G6 servers would require the following: • 5761.6 VA total apparent power (20 x 288.08 VA) that the power distribution components must transfer • 17887.2 total BTU/hr that - HP ProLiant DL160se | HP Power Advisor utility: a tool for estimating power requ - Page 15
