Power and Cooling Requirements

[Greg Laroche]

Hello. I need to move a some equipment around (mostly a mix of DL380s), and need to find the power and cooling requirements for all of it. Does HP have a data center planning tool available with this info?
Thanks!

Not really seeing what I'm looking for on that link. I see a tool for power info for blade systems, and many other "solutions" for common problems using HP equipment, but nothing giving info on power and cooling requirements for servers.

hi greg

you means something like this?
this is for Dl380 G5

Yeah, that'll work. I guess I was hoping that HP had a simple planning tool like the Dell DCCP tool. Instead of having to go through multiple pages of specs and doing the math myself. Sure I'm lazy, but after using the slick Dell tool I was hoping that HP would have something.

link to the Dell tool to see what I'm talking about:

Greg you may use this other tool which is called: HP Enterprise Configurator

Click on "Configure" in the Proliant Servers box.
