Availability
  • HP Advanced Memory Protection Technology - delivers unsurpassed memory protection and server availability with the following supported modes of operation:
    • Advanced ECC (1 or More Memory Boards)
      Advanced ECC Memory is the default memory protection mode for the HP ProLiant DL580 G3. 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. Advanced ECC is the only mode in which hot-add operations are supported by adding a memory board with memory to the server while it is running.

    • Online Spare Memory (1 or More Memory Boards)
      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.

    • Hot Plug Mirrored Memory (2 or 4 Memory Boards)
      Hot Plug Mirrored Memory provides a higher level of availability than Advanced ECC and Online Spare Memory. With Hot Plug Mirrored Memory, the server is protected against uncorrectable memory errors that would otherwise result in server failure. Hot Plug Mirrored Memory allows the server to keep two copies of all memory data on separate memory boards. If an uncorrectable error is encountered, the proper data is retrieved from the memory board that did not fail. In addition, Hot Plug Mirrored Memory allows failed or degraded DIMMs to be replaced while the server is running without requiring server downtime. The memory board with the failed DIMMs can be removed from the front of the server, failed DIMMs replaced, and the board re-inserted into the server without disengaging the server from the rack or interrupting the operating system.
    • Hot Plug RAID Memory (4 Memory Boards)
      Hot Plug RAID Memory provides a similar level of protection as Hot Plug Mirrored Memory but obtains this protection using a smaller percentage of the installed memory. While Hot Plug Mirrored Memory keeps two copies of all memory data, Hot Plug RAID Memory keeps only one copy of all memory data and additional parity information. If an uncorrectable memory error is encountered, the server can create the proper data using data from the parity information and the other memory boards that contain no failures. In a Hot Plug RAID Memory configuration, 75% of the installed memory is available to the Operating System; 50% more than in a Hot Plug Mirrored Configuration. As with Hot Plug Mirrored Memory, Hot Plug RAID Memory allows failed DIMMs to be replaced while the server remains running and safely engaged in the rack.

Up to 128MB Battery Backed Write Cache protection optional on HP ProLiant DL580 G3 (BBWC Enabler ships standard with 2P Dual-core 7040 3.00 GHz/2x2M and 3.33 GHz/8M base 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 four Hot Plug Universal drives are supported with ability to configure for Duplex or Simplex Backplane functionality.
  • Hot Plug Redundant Power Supplies - Two Hot Plug Redundant Power Supplies ship standard with all 2P base models (2nd Hot Plug Redundant Power Supply is optional with 1P 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 RAID Memory, Hot Plug Universal Hard Drives, Hot Plug Redundant Power Supplies, as well as Processors and Processor Power Modules.
  • Innovative Diagnostic Lighting
  • QuickFind Diagnostic Display - precisely depicts all major subsystems of the server (PCI-X I/O, Memory, CPU, Redundant Cooling, Interlock, Thermtrip) and gives instant visual indication of fault status. Located on top front of server.
  • LED display on front panel indicates power, internal health, external health, Unit ID light.
  • LED display on Memory board indicates Memory status, health, and protection mode.
  • LED display on Processor board indicates Processor and Processor Power Module health.

Power Regulator Power Regulator is a new operating system-independent power management feature of HP ProLiant servers that enables dynamic or static changes in CPU performance and power states. In dynamic power mode, Power Regulator automatically adjusts the server's power usage and performance to match CPU application activity. This improves server energy efficiency by giving CPUs full power for applications when they need it and enabling power savings without performance degradation when application activity is reduced.

Power Supply 910W (low line), 1300W (high line) with 12V main output. Size is 2.8"(H) X 4.9"(W) X 7.5"(L).
NOTE: One Hot Plug Power Supply ships standard with 1P base models (optional Redundant Hot Plug Power Supply Option Kit).
NOTE: Two Hot Plug Power Supplies ship standard with 2P base models.

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://www5.HP.com/products/servers/proliantdl580/index.html.


Rack Mounting Requirements

HP ProLiant DL580 G3 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.
