Sample power distribution solutions
This section includes examples for implementing power distribution methods for various rack
configurations. These configurations are examples only. Numerous configurations may be appropriate
depending on factors mentioned earlier such as:
• Server power consumption
• Server configuration (number of processors, hard drives, expansion cards, etc.)
• Server utilization
• Redundant/non-redundant requirements
NOTE
:
These sample configurations do not take into account
battery backup (UPS) considerations.
Rack configurations for distributing power to HP BladeSystem c-Class
servers
This section describes power distribution configurations based on the HP BladeSystem c-Class system
using the HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure and modular or monitored PDUs (Figure 7). The HP
BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure uses auto-ranging power supplies and supports redundant power
supply configurations. Up to four BladeSystem c7000 enclosures can be installed in a standard 42U
rack.

enclosures in a standard rack.
