Rack management with HP ProLiant SL Advanced Power Manager The HP ProLiant SL Advanced Power Manager (APM) is a tool for managing HP ProLiant Scalable Systems. It consists of software and two hardware components: an SL APM Control Module and SL APM Distribution Modules. APM has several important functions: • Discover individual chassis • Monitor individual chassis • Control individual chassis • View the topology and power status of a chassis • Power on/power off individual server trays in a chassis The SL APM communicates with the SL6000 to collect identification and power data. You can access this data at a centralized management console through a serial or network interface. We developed the HP SL APM solution specifically for rack-mounted SL6000 chassis. You can mount the SL APM Control Module as a 1U or 0U component. You can mount the SL APM Distribution Modules in the rear of the rack, close to the connected SL6000 chassis. A standard 42U rack can hold 20 SL6000 chassis and a 1U SL APM Control Module. You can control all these chassis with an SL APM Control Module and two SL APM Distribution Modules. SL6000 server trays We developed multiple SL6000 server trays to meet various needs. Some trays have high memory capacity. Others are best suited for internal storage or compute density. Each tray supports the following components: • AMD™ Opteron™ 6100 Series processors or Intel® Xeon® 5500 or 5600 Series processors • DDR3 memory • An integrated Serial ATA (SATA) controller with HP Smart Array B110i RAID • Non-hot-plug SATA storage drives housed in quick-release drive carriers • Integrated dual-port 1 gigabit NICs • An optional PCI Express (PCIe) 2.0 x16 slot available on a riser • Optional HP Smart Array SAS controllers and SAS hard drives For more detailed information on supported SAS controllers, SAS hard drive options, and server node storage configuration, refer to the HP technology document "Configuring SATA and SAS in HP ProLiant SL6000 servers." You will find the following components on the front panel of each server tray (Figure 3): • Video and serial ports • Two USB ports • Four 1 Gb NIC ports • An SD slot • An optional LO100 dedicated management port • LEDs for health and UID status • An access port for a low profile PCIe 2.0 x16 adapter 4
