hp ProLiant DL320 generation 2 server high-density deployment technical white paper 4
Table 1 demonstrates how significant reduction in input current and thermal dissipation can be
realized, if a deployment plan can limit each server configuration over the useful lifetime of a
rack configuration.
Table 1. Derated Current and Thermal Dissipation for Reduced Input Power Assumptions
Input Power Derated Fully Rated
120 W 250 W 277 W
Input Current at 110 VAC 1.09 A 2.27 A 2.52 A
Input Current at 208 VAC 0.57 A 1.20 A 1.33A
Thermal Dissipation 409 BTUs/hour 852 BTUs/hour 944 BTUs/hour
The derated input power values of 120 W and 250 W can be correlated with the measured input
power values for the minimum and maximum configurations of the server. However, the derated
input power value must be high enough to account for any future upgrades for a deployment plan.
As stated earlier, the power supply is designed to support future processor and hard drive
upgrades. When installing 42 servers, the number of PDUs to be installed will depend on the
support for the input current requirement. Carefully derating the input power may very well
satisfy deployment needs and also reduce the number of PDUs per rack. Reducing the number of
PDUs has a direct impact on the deployment time and maintenance of an installation.
