HP Netserver High Density Rack Solutions Overview (LP 2000r)
HP Power Distribution Options
HP offers a series of Power Distribution Units (PDU) for use when the HP Netserver LP 2000r is to be
mounted in a rack. The PDUs are especially convenient when mounting multiple servers as you simply
route each power cord to the closest PDU rather than to the local power source or the Uninterruptible
Power Supply (UPS), if used.
In addition to convenience, the HP PDUs also provide protection for the servers. All feature a circuit pro-
tector for each power phase. If one phase shorts, one or both of the circuit protectors trip.
Unlike other PDUs, the HP devices are slim and allow you to easily reach the servers and other equipment
from any angle. All mounting hardware is built in (mounting brackets) or included (mounting screws and
nuts) so there is nothing extra to order.
The PDUs mount quickly out-of-the-way on the rear posts of HP four-
post racks, either vertically along the posts or horizontally between
them, as your needs dictate. The rear columns have four dedicated
spaces to mount the PDUs, so that they won’t interfere with the
hinges and latches of the rack door or the equipment in the rack.
Routing power cords from the HP Netserver LP 2000r is straight for-
ward since the cords and the PDUs are all located at the rear of the
rack.
There are four types of PDUs available for use with the HP Netserver
LP 2000r, depending on your voltage and outlet requirements:
