Mechanical technologies The DL585 G2 leverages the chassis design of the ProLiant DL580 G3 server. The 4U form factor supports efficient use of space with maximum deployment flexibility. The DL585 G2 ships with tool-free, snap-in, sliding rails and a cable management system for simple deployment in HP and third-party racks and for in-rack server access. The rail system is ambidextrous; that is, the same rail design can be used on either side of the rack with minor adjustments to the rail system. The rail system provides tool-free support for square-hole, round-hole, and threaded-hole racks. It adjusts to rack depths of 23.75 to 35 inches (60.3 to 88.9 centimeters) and therefore accommodates a much broader range of rack designs than previous rail systems. The cable management arms are also ambidextrous and independent of the hole design in the racks. The cable management arms allow customers to put all the cables down one side of the rack or to switch sides from one server to the next. Inside the DL585 G2 chassis is a System Insight Display (SID) to provide specific trouble-shooting information. The display includes LEDs for all major subsystems of the server: memory, processors, redundant fans, power supply and Processor Power Modules (PPMs), and overtemp indicator. During normal operations, all LEDs are unlit. An amber LED gives an instant visual indication of a fault condition. The modular and virtually cable-free interior design of the server provides easy, tool-free access to all of the major subsystems and components. The DL 585 G2 uses plug-in components to eliminate many of the cables. One of the most important aspects of the design is that all of the memory modules, processors, and disk drives are easily accessible from the front of the unit. In addition, the G2 design adds a front accessible video port and two front USB 2.0 ports for accessing the server from the front of the rack. Conclusion The HP ProLiant DL585 G2 is a 4U rack-optimized, 4-way server created for large data center deployments requiring enterprise-class performance, uptime, and scalability, plus ease of management and expansion. It offers customers running both 32- and 64-bit applications increased performance and memory speed. Quad-core processor support and improved network and I/O subsystems ensure that the DL585 G2 is scalable in high-performance computing environments. 10
