HPE Gen12 DLC Infrastructure

• – Build-in a new feature with Leak Detection alert from iLO7 is available. iLO7 will trigger system shut down if a leak event is detected.
• – HPE ProLiant DL3XX Gen12 Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC) solution requires at least one liquid cooling infrastructure item as follows: HPE Rack in 800mm x 1200mm (options listed below), Rack Manifold, CDU, Primary Hose Kit, and Secondary Hose Kit to function. Without above rack infrastructure to be selected, an unbuildable configuration will be triggered in this order.

DLC Rack options

• – Rack 42U 800mm x 1200mm Ent G2 (applicable for DL3XX Gen12 DLC)
• – Rack 48U 800mm x 1200mm Ent G2 (applicable for DL3XX Gen12 DLC)
• – The DLC Rack Infrastructure setting is relatively complex and needs to be conducted by HPE Service with a complete enablement of DLC Rack solution. Major factors impacting the DLC Rack Infrastructure setting are listed below.

  • The connectivity of server to manifold
  • The DLC rack capability (liquid supply temperature, flow rate in each loop and CDU capability)
  • The CDU parameter setting (liquid type, server units in rack, and any mixing servers)
• – If a customer has ordered from HPE previously and already has this basic infrastructure on site, please get unbuildable exception approval from ProLiant Product Management Team. A standalone unit can be shipped for field upgrade as an exception, without this infrastructure the server DLC solution will not function.
