HP ProLiant s6500 Chassis - Overview

The all new s6500 4U chassis can accommodate up to eight half-width servers gives you the ability to mix and match server nodes, and also allows for single node serviceability (SNS)—making it an extremely flexible chassis. This, in other words, means that you can add or remove compute capacity based on your business needs.

The highly efficient multi-node chassis with shared power and cooling components, including energy efficient fans and optional hot-plug redundant PSU helps reduce power consumption to a large extent when compared to previous generation servers.
