4, 2009, HP ProLiant SL2x170z G6 server garnered the SPECpower_ssj2008 result of 2316 overall ssj_ops/watt∗. Based on industry-standard components, the ProLiant SL6000 Scalable System provides extreme density and high performance at low acquisition costs. SL6000 servers are uniquely serviceable in - HP ProLiant SL4540 | HP ProLiant SL6000 Scalable System technology - Page 4

HP ProLiant SL170z G6 server The HP ProLiant SL170z G6 server tray is optimized for maximum storage capability (Figure 6). It supports LFF, SFF, or SSD SATA storage drives housed in quick-release drive carriers. The system board accommodates up to two Intel Xeon 5500 Series processors - HP ProLiant SL4540 | HP ProLiant SL6000 Scalable System technology - Page 9

more instructions to be processed simultaneously. HyperThreading improves performance per watt, allowing Intel-based ProLiant G6 servers to guide for each server tray.

Power Interface-aware (ACPI) operating systems require no changes to support it. However, it is application dependent and increases processor pins. Because pin damage could require replacing the motherboard, HP engineers developed a special installation tool to simplify processor installation - HP ProLiant SL4540 | HP ProLiant SL6000 Scalable System technology - Page 14
a chipset. These processors support only DDR3 dual inline 1333, 1066, and 800 MT/s. Controlled fan speed HP DDR3 DIMM modules have an integrated thermal sensor that signals ProLiant G6 servers can reduce fan speed when memory is idle, which reduces power consumption. The BIOS in ProLiant G6 servers - HP ProLiant SL4540 | HP ProLiant SL6000 Scalable System technology - Page 15
not meet stringent design requirements; therefore, HP does not recommend configuring third-party DIMMs for 1333 MT/s data rates with two DIMMs per channel. At this writing, operating the memory at 1333 MT/s is supported only on select ProLiant SL G6 server trays using the Xeon 5500 Series processors - HP ProLiant SL4540 | HP ProLiant SL6000 Scalable System technology - Page 16

power supply bay that are used in multiple ProLiant server platforms. Like many other ProLiant G6 servers, the SL6000 Scalable System supports these common power supplies. By reducing the number of power supply designs for ProLiant servers, HP effectively reduces the number of spares customers must - HP ProLiant SL4540 | HP ProLiant SL6000 Scalable System technology - Page 18
(Figure 14) provides an example of the high levels of power efficiency achieved by power supplies used in ProLiant G6 servers. Figure 14. Power/Efficiency curve for the 750 W HP power supply Oversized and lightly loaded power supplies do not run as efficiently as those that are heavily loaded - HP ProLiant SL4540 | HP ProLiant SL6000 Scalable System technology - Page 19
. If one power supply fails and the remaining power supply cannot support the full load of both server trays, the servers will throttle using HP power capping technology so that the remaining power supply can support both trays (Figure 15). Although performance is reduced, the chassis continues - HP ProLiant SL4540 | HP ProLiant SL6000 Scalable System technology - Page 20
management systems detect problems by receiving traps or change notices from network devices implementing SNMP. The ProLiant SL6000 Scalable System uses the same SNMP-based Insight Management Agents supported by other ProLiant servers. As a result, administrators can use HP Systems Insight Manager - HP ProLiant SL4540 | HP ProLiant SL6000 Scalable System technology - Page 21
in one of four possible modes as shown in Table 3. Table 3. HP ProLiant G6 chassis power control logic modes Mode Function 0 No Redundancy. Power if the chassis has only one operational power supply.

Remote management and control with ProLiant Onboard Administrator All ProLiant SL servers include ProLiant Onboard Administrator powered by LO100i. ProLiant Onboard Administrator provides the core embedded management functions in all ProLiant servers.
