NOTE: For more information on the latest visualization and acceleration qualification status, please see https://www.hp.com/go/accelerators
NOTE: An HP DL170e GPU Adapter Kit (P/N 612253-B21) is required when installing this NVIDIA card. The NVIDIA cards can only be installed in the 2U node with the 2 slot full-height riser option: HP DL170e I/O Riser PCIe x16 x8 FIO option (P/N 512481-B21).

One 6' Highline (IEC-IEC) power cord ships standard
NOTE: HP ProLiant DL servers are primarily connected to PDU's in data center racks so they ship standard with only a PDU power cord (416151-B21).
NOTE: If customers require a power cord, they can check the power cord matrix for the appropriate cord. Please see the following power cord matrix: https://www.hp.com/go/powercordmatrix

In addition to the efficiencies gained by the shared power infrastructure, the DL2000 contains advanced power metering and capping capabilities. The embedded Power Management Controller (PMC) is able to monitor power consumption and throttle the speed of the processors and memory in each node within the chassis in order to maintain a pre-set power budget. HP provides a simple command-line utility, called HP ProLiant Power Interface Control (PPIC) Utility, for reading and configuring the power control logic of the server nodes. Versions are available for MS Windows Server OS (2008 and 2008 R2) and Linux OS (RHEL5 and SLES11) with the requirement that the OS IPMI Driver be installed. The following Power Management modes for power redundancy are standard and are configurable in the controller:

• No Redundancy - power control disabled. No power throttling will occur.
• (DEFAULT) AC Redundancy with Throttling. This mode allows all nodes to share both power supplies and run at maximum performance. Power control logic will only throttle the performance of each node when the power draw by the chassis attempts to exceed the load supported by the power supplies. In this mode, the box is expected to survive an unexpected AC Power loss to one of the power supplies.
• Full AC/DC Redundancy - power control logic will maintain a power cap value for the chassis at the DC rating of a single power supply (750W, or 1200W), such that if one power supply experiences a DC or AC failure, the chassis should remain on-line and operational.

Power Capping is included with the LO100 Advanced Pack:

• Power Capping - User specifies the power envelope for the 2U chassis, within the capabilities of the hardware installed. Users run a utility to calibrate the minimum and maximum power consumption envelope for the chassis. In order to avoid any impact to performance due to throttling, a User selectable Power Cap value should not be set below the minimum power value provided by the utility.

HP has a new design for ProLiant power supplies - the new Common Slot power supply bay. This design provides the customer with commonality in power supplies across multiple platforms to save on the cost of spares and allows HP to offer multiple power solutions to fit the customers' needs. Many HP ProLiant Servers come with high-efficiency Common Slot power supplies. The new HP Common Slot power supplies are designed for the highest power efficiency without degrading performance of the ProLiant server. These power supplies have efficiency ratings up to 94%. There are multiple power supply options available allowing you to "right-size" the most appropriate power supply for your server configuration. To make sure you select the correct power supply to meet your configuration, please use the HP Power Advisor at: www.hp.com/go/hppoweradvisor. All HP Common Slot power sources are UL, CE mark compliant, hot-plug, and support Redundant Power Management: In addition to the shared power and cooling infrastructure, the DL2000 contains advanced power metering and power capping technologies. The Power Interface Controller allows you to configure the system for full AC redundancy or AC redundancy with power throttling, depending on your configuration. With the optional Dynamic Power Capping mode, the DL2000 can boost the capacity of your data center by reclaiming trapped power and cooling capacity.

HP offers several Common Slot Power Supply Options for this platform.

NOTE: The 80 PLUS program is a unique forum that unites electric utilities, the computer industry, and consumers in an effort to bring energy efficient technology solutions to the marketplace. 80 Plus independently tests power supply efficiency and publicly posts the results on 80Plus.org.
Optional power supplies can be purchased through power supply option kits (see Power Supply Options for part numbers).

NOTE: Mixing of power supplies in the same chassis is not supported. All power supplies must be of the same type, all, 750W 94%, all 1200W 94%, or all 1200W 90%. If non-matched power supplies are inserted you will get errors and operation will fail.

4 x 80mm system fans ship standard; Non-hot plug, Non-redundant.

Server Node Blanks
If a server node is removed for a period, a blank must be installed to maintain the thermal environment in the chassis. It is okay to leave a node in the chassis powered off to be serviced in the future. But once a DL170e node is removed for servicing, a HP DL2000 Server Node Blank Kit is required. The blank is a 1U blank so two blanks are needed for a 2U node.

DDR3 memory population guidelines

For detailed memory configuration rules and guidelines, please use the Online DDR3 Memory Configuration Tool: www.hp.com/go/ddr3memory-configurator

• Some DIMM installation guidelines are summarized below:
• Memory DIMM blanks are required in any empty DIMM slots for proper cooling. If DIMMs are removed or the memory configuration is changed, all DIMM slots must be populated with either a blank or a DIMM.
• For servers with sixteen (16) memory slots
• There are three (3) channels per processor; six (6) channels per server
• There are two (3) DIMM slots for two memory channels and one (2) DIMM slots for one memory channel; sixteen (16) total slots
• Memory channel 1 consists of the two (2) DIMM slots that are closest to the processor
• Memory channels 2 and 3 consist of the six (6) DIMM slots that are furthest from the processor
• DIMM slots that are white should be populated first
• Do not mix Unbuffered memory (UDIMMs) with Registered memory (RDIMMs)
• Do not install DIMMs if the corresponding processor is not installed
• If only one processor is installed in a 2CPU system, only half of the DIMM slots are available
• To maximize performance, balance the total memory capacity between all installed processors
• It is not required, but it is recommended to load the channels similarly if possible
• You can only have up to eight (8) ranks installed per channel
• You can only install two quad-rank DIMMs per channel
• You can only install two UDIMMs per channel; if available, the third slot in the channel must remain empty
• Populate DIMMs from heaviest load (quad-rank) to lightest load (single-rank) within a channel
• Heaviest load (DIMM with most ranks) within a channel goes furthest from the chipset
• Low Voltage DIMMs can only be used with Intel Xeon 5600 series processors.
• For memory mirroring mode, channel 3 must be unpopulated. Channels 1 and 2 are populated identically
• For lock-step mode, channel 3 must be unpopulated. DIMMs in channels 1 and 2 will be installed in pairs. The paired slots will be 1,4; 2,5; 3;6 on a 3DPC system or 1,4; 2,5; on a 2DPC system
• If mixing DIMM voltage is a requirement, please note that the DIMMs will run at 1.5V since all 1.35V are capable of supporting 1.5V operations.

DIMM slot and configuration diagrams
Basic memory slot & population diagram

• Population order; start with "A" first, "B" second, "C" third, etc. DIMM 8 is DIMM furthest away from the CPU and DIMM 1 is DIMM closest to CPU.

RDIMM maximum configuration (2 CPUs)

• 192GB, consisting of sixteen (16) 16GB quad rank PC3-8500 RDIMMs
