HP ProLiant z6000 G6 chassis
The HP ProLiant Scalable System implements a new chassis/rack architecture in the industry-standard
server market space. The chassis provides shared power and cooling to the system components by
means of one or two high efficiency, HP common slot power supplies and up to four system fans.
Each 2U chassis contains an embedded microcontroller that provides power metering and throttling
capabilities for the entire chassis. The chassis has no midplane and the I/O connectors are at the
front of the chassis to optimize serviceability and to provide unrestricted airflow to the two server
trays.
Rack and cabling options
The z6000 G6 chassis mounts into an industry standard 19-inch rack using standard mounting
hardware or an HP rack using a more cost-effective 10U bulk rail system (only for HP racks). The
standard rail kit or the 10U bulk rail kit can be mixed within the HP rack to optimize the deployment.
In a 42U rack, it is possible to install 21 z6000 G6 chassis containing a total of 42 server trays. To
avoid risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, HP ProLiant z6000 G6 chassis should be
installed first in the bottom of a rack and added from the bottom to the top until the rack is fully
populated. Network switches provide an aggregation point for all network cables and are typically
installed in the middle of the rack to accommodate shorter cable lengths and to optimize
serviceability. In the rear, all power cables are cleanly installed on the right side of the cabinet (Figure
2). For detailed information about rack and cabling options, refer to the HP ProLiant SL6000 Scalable
System Cabling Guide at this website:
