Introduction

The initial Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) G2 Rack product introduction includes HPE G2 Advanced Racks, announcement of the next

generation of HPE Standard Series G2 Basic Power Distribution Units (PDUs), and the HPE Infrastructure Architect application to help you

identify the best HPE Rack and Power Infrastructure products for your data center configuration. HPE G2 Advanced Series Racks will continue to

use pre-existing rack accessories with the exception of several new accessory kits including: side panels, grounding kit, baying kit, stabilization kit,

and roof-mount fan kits.

HPE G2 Racks redefines intelligent infrastructure design for the mid-size business and provides a better foundation for the IT of the future. An

intelligent datacenter does more for your business in less time and for less money. HPE has reimagined intelligent infrastructure design from the

ground up and identified five business challenges that present opportunities for improved infrastructure to drive better business practices:

•Safety and security

•User experience

•Power and cooling efficiency

•Datacenter optimization

•Interoperability

HPE G2 Rack design

The HPE G2 Rack product family was designed to address these business challenges in the following ways:

Safety and security

HPE G2 Rack and Power infrastructure is positioned to address existing and evolving security threats. Provisions for third-party locking solutions

(biometric, electronic, and keyed) keep your servers where they belong (you can read more about these capabilities in the “Levels of rack

security” section). HPE also offers locking IEC power cords that lock to, both, the power distribution unit (HPE G2 units only) and to the target

device (server, storage, or networking hardware) regardless of make or model.

User experience

The HPE user experience is assured through the available tools that provide information to guide your choices and the strength of HPE Rack

and Power infrastructure to provide you with unmatched performance and reliability. The HPE Infrastructure Architect application (found at

hpe.com/info/rackandpower) guides you to the right products based on your workload, budget, and location. And then HPE Power Advisor helps

you plan how much power you’ll use month-to-month based on your planned or existing infrastructure. Toolless installation, low-profile PDUs,

and improved cable management provisions get your new infrastructure up and running faster, whether it’s out-of-the-box or finding and fixing a

problem during mid-lifecycle. If you’d prefer to purchase everything assembled and ready to go, our Factory Express option builds the industry’s

best datacenter solutions on the industry’s best racks, and ships it directly to your door.

Power and cooling efficiency

Power costs are the number one operating expense for most IT infrastructures. And of course, the more power servers consume, the hotter they

get. HPE PDUs can safely operate in ASHRAE A1 – A4 environments up to 60 degrees Centigrade (that’s 10 degrees above industry standard),

and 80% front-door open perforation on our racks (16% higher than the industry leader) allows for greater airflow that helps to minimize cooling

costs.

Datacenter optimization

Datacenter space is often at a premium, and less room spent on infrastructure means more room for compute. HPE G2 Rack infrastructure is

Intelligent, efficient datacenter infrastructure that deploys faster and in less space than existing infrastructures, leaving more room for compute

and boosting your servers, storage, and networking capabilities.

HPE G2 Rack infrastructure is taller and wider with deeper racks, while maintaining the same, industry-leading durability guaranteed with a 10-

year warranty. HPE PDUs have been redesigned and utilize toolless installation with more outlets per rack U than any competitor.

Technical white paper Page 4

Interoperability

Datacenter infrastructure isn’t always purchased at once, isn’t always purchased from the same vendor, and isn’t always designed to work

together with other IT and infrastructure hardware. HPE testing for interoperability and conforming to industry standards is key to effective

product development, and to eliminating problems in purchase, deployment, operation, and maintenance.

While HPE Rack and Power infrastructure utilized to the best advantage as the foundation of an HPE homogeneous datacenter, HPE

understands that most datacenters are heterogeneous. With that in mind, HPE Rack and Power products are built to match EIA-310 industry-

standard specification.

HPE’s industry-leading datacenter solutions start with HPE Rack and Power Infrastructure. Our Rack and Power Infrastructure portfolio of

products is designed for HPE servers, storage, and networking – better together and working to drive your business further.

Certification and regulatory compliance

HPE G2 Advanced Series Racks, while UL qualified, are defined as nonfunctional mechanical storage bays and, therefore, are not certified as

electrical products. The rack does not serve as an overall safety or EMI-rated enclosure, nor does it carry any other agency compliant rating.

However, any product intended for use in an HPE rack should be individually certified as a standalone product. For example, HPE Power

Distribution products, such as uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs) and power distribution units (PDUs) are fully certified as standalone

products.

Certain third-party products may not be fully certified as standalone products. Any product that does not meet standalone certification is not

included in any HPE-specified rack configuration and should not be installed in an HPE rack.

HPE General Specification for Environment (GSE) specifications prohibit or restrict the use of certain chemical compounds in products or in the

manufacture of products. HPE complies with the GSE specifications and restricts the use of these compounds in the development or

manufacture of any HPE product (including third-party supplier product).

The Infrastructure Racks are designed to comply with the applicable safety requirements for Information Technology Equipment (ITE) when the

rack is configured with properly certified equipment. HPE Infrastructure Racks are considered ITE compliant when the following conditions are

met:

•The rack is populated with individually certified products.

•All installation guidelines and instructions are followed.

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment directive

The directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) requires manufacturers to finance the take back and recovery of waste from

electrical and electronic equipment at the end of its useful life.

Any product or product packaging marked with the symbol in figure 2 must not be disposed of with other household waste. The user must

dispose of the product by delivering it to a designated collection point for the recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment. For more

information about locations to drop off equipment for recycling, contact a local city office, the household waste disposal service, or the business

where the product was purchased.

Integration services and software

Several resources are available for planning rack configurations. Those resources include HPE Factory Express, HPE Infrastructure

Architect, HPE Power Advisor, and HPE rack documentation.

HPE Factory Express

Factory Express is a robust portfolio of flexible, pre-priced, configured, customized, and integrated factory solutions and deployment services

supporting HPE products from the desktop to the data center with Windows®, Linux®, and HP-UX.

In addition to this available integration option, HPE also provides information links and contacts for questions regarding rack and product

compatibility. Go to hpe.com/us/en/integrated-systems/rack-power-cooling.html for more information.

HPE Infrastructure Architect

You can use HPE Infrastructure Architect to build a custom infrastructure solution. This tool is for salespeople, channel partners, and experienced

IT buyers. It’s a simple mix-and-match application that ensures the infrastructure you buy will work with the servers, storage, networking, and

power supply infrastructure you already have. And when completed, the tool will also connect you to an HPE salesperson that can have your

solution shipped to you. You can find the HPE Infrastructure Architect at iallb.itcs.hpe.com/.

HPE Power Advisor

HPE Power Advisor is an easy-to-use tool that estimates your data center power requirements for your server and storage configurations.

Version 6.x includes the new HPE ProLiant Gen 9 servers and options as well as a new Smart Update feature that automatically updates your

application when opened.

Rack deployment considerations

The following sections describe the HPE components and options available for the HPE G2 Racks that are available to achieve safety, regulatory

compliance, or functionality requirements.

Levels of rack security

Either of the following conditions may be necessary to comply with certain safety certifications:

•Racks must be located in a restricted access area that is only accessible to trained personnel.

•Racks must be configured with lockable hardware.

HPE rack front doors, rear doors, and side panels support this locking requirement. Rear split doors are standard. HPE G2 Racks also include new

tooling that allows you to easily remove the default lock and replace with a third-party lock (See Figure 3).

Technical white paper Page 7

Figure 3. Third-party locking options

HPE Infrastructure Rack front doors

All HPE G2 Rack models ship with front doors. The 600mm wide 36U, 42U, and 48U front doors (and necessary hardware) are backwards

compatible with the G1 Series Racks of the same width and height; this enables customers to have all 600mm wide racks standardized with the

same updated look, if desired.

HPE Infrastructure Rack rear doors

All HPE G2 Rack models ship with rear doors as part of the standard configuration. The Infrastructure Rack rear door has been upgraded to

provide additional open space for exhaust air.

HPE Side Panel Option Kit

Side panels aid in providing proper front-to-rear airflow and a first level of security. Side Panel Option Kits are available for all rack models.

Rack options installation instructions can be found in the HPE Rack Options Installation Guide at:

hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c03209378&lang=en-us&cc=us

Note

All G2 Advanced Series Racks ship with side panels; however, side panels are also available as option kits.

Stabilization requirements

Rack stability is of special concern when equipment is routinely installed, removed, or accessed within the rack. Stability is addressed with a

combination of leveling feet, baying kits, fixed stabilizers, and ballast.

Leveling feet

Leveling feet ship installed in each rack. It allows stabilization and levels the racks at the installation site. HPE Infrastructure Rack hardware kits

also include leveling pads that are used with the feet during rack stabilization.

HPE Baying Kit

Baying kits are used to physically connect adjacent racks to create a row of two or more units. Racks that are bayed together with a baying kit are

more stable and reduce the potential of the rack to tip. G2 Advanced Series Racks ship with baying kits that allow for baying with side panels

Technical white paper Page 8

installed. The same baying kit will support the 10000 G2, Advanced, and G2 Advanced Racks. This baying kit is used to connect racks of the

same depth.

HPE Offset Baying Kit

Offset baying kits are used to connect adjacent racks that are of a different depth. Kits are available that support the connection of 1075mm

deep racks to both 1200mm racks and older 1000mm deep racks.

HPE Stabilizer Kit

Fixed stabilizers are anti-tip feet (front and side) that provide stability and support when equipment is installed, removed, or accessed within the

rack. Both HPE 600mm stabilizers and HPE Heavy Duty 600mm stabilizers are available. For single racks or bays of three racks, with rack-

mountable components, on extendable rails, that are less than 100 kg (220 lb.), a standard 600mm stabilizer is required.

If racks are secured together with baying kits, the side feet installed on each end of the row of racks are considered optional. Rack rows with four

or more bayed racks do not need a stabilizer kit installed.

HPE recommends using stabilizer option kits when one or more of the following situations occur:

If a standard 600mm (23.62 in) front stabilizing foot is installed on a standalone rack, the side feet, provided with the fixed stabilizer kit, should

also be installed to stabilize standalone racks from the side.

•A heavy-duty 600mm (23.62 in) front stabilizer foot is required in either of the following situations:

–A single rack-mountable component, on extendable rails, weighing 100 kg (220 lb.) or greater is installed in a standalone rack.

–A rack row of three or fewer racks are bayed together

•To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure that:

–The leveling feet are extended to the floor

–The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling feet

–The stabilizing feet are attached to the rack if it is a single-rack installation

–The racks are coupled together in multiple-rack installations

–Only one component is extended at a time or the rack may become unstable

HPE Ballast Option Kit

Ballast plates add weight to a rack and improve side-to-side and front-to-back mechanical stability for standalone racks or a row of three or fewer

racks bayed together. Ballast plates fit in the zero-U space at the interior sides of the rack and should be installed into the rack prior to

installation of any other equipment.

When increasing rack weight, it is important to consider that a rack with a light static load (less than 95 kg/210 lb.) should have ballast plates

installed to provide extra weight, thus reducing the possibility of the rack tipping over if a significant force were to be applied to the rear or side

of the rack. Racks with a heavier static load (greater than 95 kg/210 lb.), depending on the particular configuration involved, may not require

ballasts.

Multiple ballast kits may be necessary to provide sufficient weight. Each kit contains two 18 kg (40 lb.) ballast plates. Ballast plates should be

added to the rack until the total weight of components installed into the rack is at least 95 kg (210 lb.).

For example, a lightly loaded rack configured with 23 kg (50 lb.) of equipment requires two ballast kits (four ballast plates). The total weight of

four ballast plates is 72 kg (160 lb.). Therefore, the total installed weight of the rack components would be 95 kg (210 lb.), the minimum

recommended rack installed component weight.

Should any rack component on extendable rails weigh more than 46 kg (100 lb.), there must be an additional 95 kg (210 lb.) of equipment

weight in the rack (excluding the weight of the component) to provide balance and maintain rack stability when the component is extended on

its rails. In this instance, ballast plates should be added until the total rack component weight is 138 kg (300 lb.) or greater.

Total weight of installed equipment along with total weight of ballast plates is equal to total rack component weight.

Technical white paper Page 9

Depending upon the installed components, racks may require both ballast and stabilizer.

Warning

To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to equipment, extend only one component at a time. The rack may become unstable if more than

one component is extended.

Stabilization for seismic activity

Rack installations in geographical areas where there is a risk of seismic activity may require special considerations for stabilizing the rack. Consult

your local building code or a licensed building engineer.

Important

The Infrastructure Racks are certified to meet International Building Code (IBC) standards in all regions. Within the IBC, the HPE Enterprise Racks

fall within the nonstructural component category, specifically mechanical and electrical components. The equipment is assumed to include

communication equipment, computers, instrumentation, and controls.

Note

Network Equipment Building Systems (NEBS) Zone 4 or Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD) ratings are outside of

standard data center rack compatibility and require a solution-based approach that addresses the rack and all installed components.

A building engineer will need to determine the requirements for which, if any, ballast and stabilizer kits are required. If the rack is bolted to the

floor or to adjacent racks that have sufficient combined weight, additional stabilization products may not be required.

HPE Tie Down Option Kit

The Rack Tie Down Kit provides a means for meeting IBC guidelines to anchor an HPE G2 Rack to the floor in geographical areas prone to

seismic activity. This product provides a solution to aid in avoiding damage or serious injury in the event of building or floor movement.

Space and cable management requirements

The HPE G2Advanced Series Racks include cable management and other options allow you to customize your rack. There is a rear PDU and

Accessory Mounting Bracket to ease cable management and installation of PDUs,

1200mm Deep Racks

Cables and equipment can be damaged in use or in shipping if there is insufficient room in the rack. The 1200mm extended depth rack can be

used when additional room is required at the rear of the rack to provide adequate space for equipment and associated cables.

Cable management kits

Due to the dynamic nature of the rack environment, the cabling of systems has very few hard rules. HPE Cable management kits provide an easy

way to organize and route cables within racks. The HPE Rack Cable Management Kit includes a 1U and 2U front cable entry panel with brush

inserts, 2x crossover cable brackets, 10x D-rings, 10x hook and loop straps 8 inch, 10x hook and loop straps 10 inch, mounting hardware.

Several kits are available as options to assist with cabling requirements.

Additional information on HPE cable management kits is available at hpe.com/info/rackandpower. HPE general guidelines for cable management

are as follows:

•Use the HPE One Config Simple (OCS) available at hpe.com/SimplifiedConfig/Welcome to fully plan the rack and server setup prior to

installation.

•For good visual reference, do not install cabling until all equipment is installed in the rack.

•Avoid dressing cabling tightly over sharp edges of railing or panels.

•Do not pinch cables between components.
