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.

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
