Active Cool fans Quite often, dense, full-feat ured, small form-factor servers use very small fans designed to provide localized cooling in the specific area s needed by th e server blade. Because such f ans generate fairly low airflow (in cubic feet per minute, or CFM) at medium backpressure, a single server often requires multiple fans to ensure [...]

HP PARSEC architecture HP Parallel Redundant Scalable Enclosure Cooling (PARSEC) architecture is a hybrid model for cooling that combines the best of local and centralized cooling in a single system to ensure optimum airflow and cooling for all servers. Density, once a barrier to cooling, is turned into an advantage with HP Thermal Logic technologi[...]

Figure 5. The c3000 Enclosure fan bay and device bay pop ulation guidelines Thermal Logic for the server blade and enclosure The server blade design uses precise ducting thro ughout the server blade to manage airflow and temperature based on the unique thermal requirement s of all the critical components. The airflow is tightly ducted to ensure tha[...]

Figure 7. HP BladeSystem c3000 Enclosure supports up to six power supplies The new, high efficiency H P c3000 power supplie s provide greater than 90 percent efficiency in AC to DC conversion. These power supplies use the ProLia nt universal form factor so they can also be used in other ProLiant servers. Each AC power su pply ships with a standard [...]

Values obtained from the BladeSystem Power Size r tool are based on worst case loads and are intended for facility planning purposes only. Actu al power consumption will vary with application type, application utilization, and ambient temperatur e.

Connecting with no power redundancy configured If no power redundancy is configured, the total power available is define d as the power available from all power supplies installed (six power suppl ies installed = up to 7200W ). Any power supply or AC line failure may cause the syst em to power off. The Onboard Administrator manages power allocati o[...]

server power consumption, checks it against the power cap goal, and, if necessary, adjusts server performance to maintain an averag e power consumption that is less than or equ al to the power cap goal. This functionality is available on all Intel-based ProLiant server blades. Using the Insight Power Manager (IP M) v1.10 plug -in to Systems Insight[...]

Figure 10. Traces on the signal midplane can transmit many different types of signals, depending on which interconnect fabrics are used. The right-hand side of th e diagram represents how the signals can be “overlaid” onto the same traces. Each device bay signal connector has a 100-pin conn ector with 64 high-speed si gnal pins hard-wired from [...]

The Onboard Administrator aggregates up to eigh t iLO 2 ports in a c3000 Enclo sure, simplifying cable management and providing a graphical interface to launch individual server iLO management interfaces. The rear of each module has an LED (blue unit identification) that can be enabled locally or remotely and can be used to identify the enclosure f[...]

• Cooling—The Onboard Administrator makes sure there is sufficient cooling capacity for the ser ver blade or interconnect module by retrieving thermal information from all of the server blades, power supplies, Active Cool fans, and inte rconnect modules in the enclosur e. • Location—The Onboard Administrator checks the loca tions of server [...]
