Step 4: Choose Rack Options
Choose HP Rack 10000 series Cabinets for the D6000
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.

NOTE:
An D6000 fully loaded with drives weighs 320lbs.
NOTE:
HP has not tested or validated the D6000 with any third-party racks. Before installing the D6000 in a third-party rack, be sure to
properly scope the limitations of the rack. Before proceeding with the installation, consider the following:
You must fully understand the static and dynamic load carrying capacity of the rack and be sure that it can accommodate the
weight of the D6000 .
If the D6000 is not sitting atop a Blade c-Class enclosure or another D6000 or MDS600 in a 3rd party rack , then install a 1U tray
(part no 501037-B21 ) beneath the D6000 to ensure proper support
Be sure sufficient clearance exists for cabling, installation and removal of the enclosure, actuation of the rack doors, and full
articulation of the drive drawers
NOTE:
Please note that while configured as CTO, a maximum of four D6000 is supported in a 42u standard rack (AF002A) and five in a
42u deep rack(AF092A). The 47U deep rack ( AF094A) will also be limited to a maximum of five D6000 for CTO config. But additional
D6000 can still be ordered as BTOs. Customers can then install them into racks at the customer site for a maximum of six D6000 per
rack. The quantity of D6000 units supported in a rack is dependent upon the other components configured in the rack relative to the
rack weight limit.
