Deploying Compaq ProLiant DL320 and DL360 Servers into Third-Party Racks 3 Introduction Compaq designed the ProLiant DL320 and ProLiant DL360 ultra-dense servers with maximally configured deployments in mind. The servers require only 1U (1.75 inches) of rack height. This document discusses installation and service issues that arise when working with ultra-dense server deployment, including: • Mounting options for varying rack environments • Weight • Power distribution • Thermal and environmental considerations • Console management choices • Cable management • Unit identification This paper provides guidelines for deploying multiple ProLiant DL320 and ProLiant DL360 servers in third-party racks using the Compaq Third-Party Rack Option Kit (P/N: 174574-B21), and provides information on Compaq rack products and related options.
