infrastructure, consisting of up to four HP high-efficiency common slot power supplies and eight system fans. You must install fans in all of the fan bays to prevent backflow. You cannot mix redundant and non-redundant fan configurations. An embedded microcontroller monitors the system power and temperature and adjusts the power supplies and cooling fans accordingly. When you remove a server tray for maintenance, fan speeds increase to ensure adequate cooling of the other trays. The chassis has no midplane. The I/O connectors for each server are at the front of the chassis for easy servicing and unrestricted airflow. 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 s6500 chassis 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 s6500 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 s6500 chassis. A standard 42U rack can hold 10 s6500 chassis, and you can control all of them with one SL APM Control Module and one SL APM Distribution Module. SL6500 server trays We designed multiple SL6500 server trays optimized for a variety of applications. Examples include high performance computing (HPC), virtualization, scale-out, and graphical processing unit (GPU) computational acceleration. An s6500 chassis supports up to eight half-width server trays. Figure 2 defines tray-mixing rules for half-width server trays. 3

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 s6500 chassis 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 s6500 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 s6500 chassis. A standard 42U rack can hold
10 s6500 chassis, and you can control all of them with one SL APM Control Module and one SL APM
Distribution Module.
SL6500 server trays
We designed multiple SL6500 server trays optimized for a variety of applications. Examples include
high performance computing (HPC), virtualization, scale-out, and graphical processing unit (GPU)
computational acceleration. An s6500 chassis supports up to eight half-width server trays. Figure 2
