Description
Cooling and Thermal Management
The HPE ProLiant SL230s Gen8 server is designed to support a variety of cooling options and thermal management techniques to keep the system running at optimal temperatures. Here are some details regarding cooling and thermal management of the server model you mentioned:
- Cooling System: The HPE ProLiant SL230s Gen8 server chassis supports multiple cooling options, including the use of hot-plug redundant fans, which can help to ensure that the system remains cool even under high load conditions. The server can support up to six hot-plug redundant fans, which can be replaced while the system is still running.
- Thermal Sensors: The server is equipped with a variety of thermal sensors that monitor the temperature of different components within the system. This data is then used by the system’s thermal management software to adjust fan speeds and other cooling parameters in real-time, helping to ensure that the server remains within safe operating temperatures.
- Integrated Lights Out (iLO): The HPE ProLiant SL230s Gen8 server also features integrated lights out (iLO) 4, which is a remote management tool that allows administrators to monitor and manage the server’s performance, including temperature and cooling settings, from a remote location.
- CPU and RAM: While the server you mentioned does not come with CPU or RAM, it is important to note that the cooling and thermal management requirements of the server will depend on the specific CPU and RAM configuration that is installed. If you plan to install high-performance CPUs or a large amount of RAM, you may need to adjust the cooling and thermal management settings accordingly.
Management and Administration
The HPE ProLiant SL230s Gen8 is a 2-way, 1U right-half-width server that comes as a CTO (Configure To Order) chassis, meaning it can be customized with different components based on the customer’s needs.
Here are some basic steps for managing and administering the SL230s Gen8 server:
- Install CPU and RAM: As the server comes with no CPU or RAM, the first step is to install these components. The SL230s Gen8 supports Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2 series processors and DDR3 Registered (RDIMM) or Load-Reduced (LRDIMM) memory. The specific CPU and RAM configuration depends on the intended use of the server.
- Connect to Integrated Lights-Out (iLO): The SL230s Gen8 comes with iLO 4, which provides remote server management capabilities. Connect to the server’s iLO port using a network cable and configure the network settings to access iLO remotely.
- Configure BIOS settings: Enter the server’s BIOS settings by pressing the F9 key during boot. Configure the boot order, network settings, and other hardware settings as needed.
- Install operating system: Install the operating system of choice, such as Windows Server or Linux, on the server. Ensure that the necessary drivers and updates are installed.
- Configure server roles and features: Depending on the intended use of the server, configure the necessary roles and features. For example, if the server will be used as a web server, install and configure IIS and related components.
- Monitor server health: Use the server’s built-in monitoring capabilities or third-party software to monitor the server’s health, including CPU and memory usage, disk space, and network activity.
- Perform maintenance tasks: Regularly perform maintenance tasks such as updating firmware and drivers, replacing failed components, and cleaning the server’s interior to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
Storage Options & Connectivity
The HPE ProLiant SL230s Gen8 server chassis has multiple storage options and connectivity features. Here are some details regarding the storage options and connectivity of the server model you mentioned:
- Storage Options: The HPE ProLiant SL230s Gen8 server chassis supports a variety of storage options, including hot-plug SAS, SATA, and SSD drives. The chassis can accommodate up to 12 hot-plug drive bays, which can be configured in a variety of RAID configurations to suit your specific needs.
- Connectivity Features: The server chassis is equipped with multiple connectivity features, including two Gigabit Ethernet ports, which provide high-speed network connectivity for your server. Additionally, the server supports a variety of expansion options, including PCIe and mezzanine card slots, which can be used to add additional connectivity features, such as Fibre Channel or Infiniband.
- Integrated Lights Out (iLO): The HPE ProLiant SL230s Gen8 server also features integrated lights out (iLO) 4, which is a remote management tool that allows administrators to remotely manage and monitor the server’s storage and connectivity settings, as well as other system settings, from a remote location.
- CPU and RAM: While the server you mentioned does not come with CPU or RAM, it is important to note that the storage and connectivity requirements of the server will depend on the specific CPU and RAM configuration that is installed. If you plan to use the server for high-performance applications or workloads, you may need to configure the storage and connectivity options accordingly.
