Availability

HP Advanced Memory Protection Technology - delivers unsurpassed memory protection and server availability with the following supported modes of operation:

  • Advanced ECC
    Advanced ECC Memory is the default memory protection mode for the HP ProLiant DL580 G5. In Advanced ECC, the server is protected against correctable memory errors. The server will provide notification if the level of correctable errors exceeds a predefined threshold rate. The server does not fail because of correctable memory errors.
    Advanced ECC provides additional protection over Standard ECC in that it is possible to correct certain memory errors that would otherwise be uncorrectable and result in server failure. Whereas Standard ECC can correct single-bit memory errors, Advanced ECC can correct single-bit and multi-bit memory errors if all failed bits are on the same DRAM device on the DIMM.
  • Online Spare Memory
    Offers a higher level of memory protection than Advanced ECC alone. If the number of single-bit correctable errors on a bank exceeds the pre-defined error threshold, that bank will fail over to the online spare bank without intervention or server interruption. The failed memory can then be replaced at the user's convenience during a scheduled maintenance window.
    Online Spare Memory is achieved by protecting active memory with online spare memory on the same memory board. No operating system support is required.
  • Mirrored Memory
    Mirrored Memory provides a higher level of availability than Advanced ECC and Online Spare Memory. With Mirrored Memory, the server is protected against uncorrectable memory errors that would otherwise result in server failure. Mirrored Memory allows the server to keep two copies of all memory data. If an uncorrectable error is encountered, the proper data is retrieved from the copy of memory that did not fail.
  • Smart Array P400i Controller with optional Battery Backed Write Cache (BBWC) Enabler provides transportable data protection and increases overall controller performance. Up to 512MB Battery Backed Write Cache protection optional on HP ProLiant DL580 G5 (512MB BBWC ships standard with 4P High Performance Models).
  • Hot Plug Redundant Fans - Six Hot Plug Redundant Fans ship standard with all models.
  • Front Accessible Chassis - Redesigned chassis allows access to memory, processors and hard drives from the front of the server while it remains safely engaged in the rack. This provides easier serviceability and lowers the chance of interfering with neighboring servers' cables and components.
  • Hot Plug Universal Drives - Up to sixteen Hot Plug Universal SFF SAS drives are supported.
  • Hot Plug Redundant Power Supplies - Four Hot Plug Redundant Power Supplies ship standard with all 4P High Performance Models (Hot Plug Redundant Power Supplies are optional with 2P Base models).

Serviceability
  • Front and Rear accessibility provides unsurpassed serviceability by allowing the server to remain safely secured in the rack while maintaining Hot Plug Universal Hard Drives, Hot Plug Redundant Power Supplies, Memory, as well as Processors and Processor Power Modules.
  • Innovative Diagnostic Lighting
  • Systems Insight Display - precisely depicts all major subsystems of the server (Processors, Memory, CPU, Fans, Processor Power Modules (PPMs), circuit board Interlock, over-temperature status) and gives instant visual indication of fault status.
  • Tool-less interior design
    • Tool-less access to interior of server
    • Rear Access to Hot Plug Redundant Power Supplies

Rack Airflow Requirements Rack 10000 series Cabinets The increasing power of new high-performance processor technology requires increased cooling efficiency for rack-mounted servers. The 10000 Series Racks provide enhanced airflow for maximum cooling, allowing these racks to be fully loaded with servers using the latest processors.
CAUTION: If a third-party rack is used, observe the following additional requirements to ensure adequate airflow and to prevent damage to the equipment:
    • Front and rear doors: If your 42U server rack includes closing front and rear doors, you must allow 5,350 sq cm (830 square inches) of hole evenly distributed from top to bottom to permit adequate airflow (equivalent to the required 64 percent open area for ventilation).
    • Side: The clearance between the installed rack component and the side panels of the rack must be a minimum of 7 cm (2.75 inches).
CAUTION: Always use blanking panels to fill all remaining empty front panel U-spaces in the rack. This arrangement ensures proper airflow. Using a rack without blanking panels results in improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.

NOTE: For additional information, refer to the Setup and Installation Guide or the Documentation CD provided with the server, or to the server documentation located in the Support section at the following URL: http://www.hp.com/servers/dl580.


Rack Mounting Requirements

HP ProLiant DL580 G5 rack models provide tool-free support for racks with square or round mounting holes (including Compaq/HP 7000, 9000, 10000, HP/E series and H9 series) with an adjustment range from 24" - 36" in depth. The ambidextrous cable management arm can be mounted on either the left or right side for improved cable management.
NOTE: Cable management arm must be removed to access Hot Plug Power Supplies when the cable management arm is mounted on the right.
