HP ProLiant DL2000 User manual

The DL2000 is optimized for efficiency, density and flexibility and a server node can be serviced individually without impacting the
operation of other server nodes sharing the same chassis. The DL2000 consists of up to 4 independent DL170e G6 servers in the 2U HP
ProLiant e2000 G6 Chassis. The servers share power supplies and fans, providing greater power and cooling efficiencies.
The DL2000 was designed to double the density to maximize data center floor space, increase performance while lowering energy
consumption and provide flexible configurations that fit into existing industry standard racks.
Each DL170e G6 server node supports up to two Intel® two processors and 16 DDR3 DIMM sockets. The DL170e G6 provides all of the
features expected in an enterprise server, including essential management features (LO100i) and Easy Setup for rapid deployment, but
at a low cost.

Please see the following power cord matrix: http://www.hp.com/go/powercordmatrix
Advanced Power
Management: Power
Management Controller
In addition to the efficiencies gained by the shared power infrastructure, the DL2000 contains advanced
power metering and capping capabilities. The embedded Power Management Controller (PMC) is able to
monitor power consumption and throttle the speed of the processors and memory in each node within the
chassis in order to maintain a pre-set power budget. HP provides a simple command-line utility, called HP
ProLiant Power Interface Control (PPIC) Utility, for reading and configuring the power control logic of the
server nodes. Versions are available for MS Windows Server OS (2008 and 2008 R2) and Linux OS (RHEL5
and SLES11) with the requirement that the OS IPMI Driver be installed. The following Power Management
modes for power redundancy are standard and are configurable in the controller:
No Redundancy - power control disabled. No power throttling will occur.
(DEFAULT) AC Redundancy with Throttling. This mode allows all nodes to share both power supplies
and run at maximum performance. Power control logic will only throttle the performance of each
node when the power draw by the chassis attempts to exceed the load supported by the power
supplies. In this mode, the box is expected to survive an unexpected AC Power loss to one of the
power supplies.
Full AC/DC Redundancy - power control logic will maintain a power cap value for the chassis at the
DC rating of a single power supply (750W, or 1200W), such that if one power supply experiences a
DC or AC failure, the chassis should remain on-line and operational.
Power Capping is included with the LO100 Advanced Pack:
Power Capping - User specifies the power envelope for the 2U chassis, within the capabilities of the
hardware installed. Users run a utility to calibrate the minimum and maximum power consumption
envelope for the chassis. In order to avoid any impact to performance due to throttling, a User
selectable Power Cap value should not be set below the minimum power value provided by the

utility.
Power Supply HP has a new design for ProLiant power supplies - the new Common Slot power supply bay. This design
provides the customer with commonality in power supplies across multiple platforms to save on the cost
of spares and allows HP to offer multiple power solutions to fit the customers' needs. Many HP ProLiant
Servers come with high-efficiency Common Slot power supplies. The new HP Common Slot power supplies
are designed for the highest power efficiency without degrading performance of the ProLiant server.
These power supplies have efficiency ratings up to 94%. There are multiple power supply options available
allowing you to "right-size" the most appropriate power supply for your server configuration. To make
sure you select the correct power supply to meet your configuration, please use the HP Power Advisor at:
www.hp.com/go/hppoweradvisor . All HP Common Slot power sources are UL, CE mark compliant, hot-
plug, and support Redundant Power Management: In addition to the shared power and cooling
infrastructure, the DL2000 contains advanced power metering and power capping technologies. The
Power Interface Controller allows you to configure the system for full AC redundancy or AC redundancy
with power throttling, depending on your configuration. With the optional Dynamic Power Capping mode,
the DL2000 can boost the capacity of your data center by reclaiming trapped power and cooling capacity.
HP offers several Common Slot Power Supply Options for this platform.
NOTE: The 80 PLUS program is a unique forum that unites electric utilities, the computer industry, and
consumers in an effort to bring energy efficient technology solutions to the marketplace. 80 Plus
independently tests power supply efficiency and publicly posts the results on 80Plus.org.
Optional power supplies can be purchased through power supply option kits (see Power Supply Options for
part numbers).
NOTE: Mixing of power supplies in the same chassis is not supported. All power supplies must be of the
same type, all, 750W 94%, all 1200W 94%, or all 1200W 90%. If non-matched power supplies are inserted
you will get errors and operation will fail.
System Fans 4 x 80mm system fans ship standard; Non-hot plug, Non-redundant.

Insight Management
Agents
HP Insight Management Agents and Insight Management Providers are
available for HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM) Integration.
ProLiant 100-series G6 servers can use the same SNMP based Insight
Management Agents supported by other ProLiant servers. As a result,
administrators can use HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM) 5.3 and greater to
manage ProLiant 100-series G6 servers. Administrators can also use any other
SNMP- based management tool. These agents are obtained as part of the
ProLiant 100-series model-specific "Easy Set-up" CDs, or through
http://www.hp.com/servers/easysetup
The following capabilities are enabled on the 100-series G6 servers by the
SNMP agents:
Health monitoring capabilities, including monitoring for drives, fans,
network, power supplies, and temperature
Alerting capabilities, including basic alert notification for Smart Array
drive pre-failure only
Performance monitoring capabilities providing information on
processor, memory, disk free space, network utilization
