Compaq ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 Server High-Density Deployment in Compaq Racks 9 Compaq Confidential - Need to Know Required and a keyboard/trackball in the same rack as the servers. Off-rack local console refers to any combination of a display, a keyboard, and a pointing device located outside of the rack. A local console system does not use a network connection to interact with the server. Low-Voltage - AC line voltage of 100 V to 120 V. N.A. - North America, including U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Network Interface Controllers (NICs) - Controllers that are embedded on the system board of the ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 server. Power Distribution Unit (PDU) - A PDU is a high-voltage or low-voltage device that is equipped with circuit breakers that help prevent electrical surges and external equipment malfunction by providing over current and surge protection for connected devices. See the "Power Distribution Units" section of this paper. Remote Console - A remote console is a server console system that uses a network connection to interact with the server. This system enables any computer with appropriate software and network access to control a server from anywhere across the globe. Compaq recommends using the remote-console system for managing a large number of servers because it eliminates the congestion of KVM cabling. Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition - The Compaq Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition is designed to provide remote access and control of Compaq ProLiant server products from anywhere on the network with a standard web browser. Consequently, customers can deploy a ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 server in a true "headless" fashion with a minimum of only three cables per server: one power cord for the server, one network cable for the LAN connection, and one network cable for the Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition management LAN connection. Using the Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition, customers can deploy 21 ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 servers in a 42U Compaq rack with significantly fewer cables than in a local console. Server Console Switch - A device that enables multiple servers in a rack to be accessed and managed by a single keyboard, mouse, and monitor. These switches are also known as KVM switches. Sliding Rail - A toolless rack management system designed for Compaq 7000- and 9000-series racks that supports in-rack serviceability for ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 servers. UID LED and Switch - The blue Unit Identification LED identifies the ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 server requiring service. A UID switch toggles both the front and rear UID LEDs simultaneously. Wake on LAN (WOL) - An option that enables a remote restart of the server. For detailed information about the products in this glossary visit the Compaq website: www.compaq.com 14UH-0701A-WWEN
