![DC Power Testimonials
“Rackable has allowed us to increase our global hardware
capacity by more than 50% without increasing our electricity
costs.” – CIO of Webex to Forbes Magazine, June 2006
“DC Power keeps the units considerably cooler within the chassis
themselves and saves us somewhere between 10 and 20 percent
over the AC-powered alternative." – Lead Engineer at University
of Florida to CNET, March 2006
By purchasing a DC-powered solution, eWEEK Labs believes
organizations will increase server reliability while lowering
monthly power costs. – eWeek Labs, March 2006
“We saw the power savings right away when we put in the
Rackable Systems servers.” – President of Spectrum to eWeek,
March 2006
“Using DC powered [servers], we're saving money on energy,
while receiving 20% more compute power in the same footprint."

- 24. Cooling System With UNIQLE, SCHÄFER is Comparison systematically implementing Floor Area in mm (W x H x D): the principle of a cooling UNIQLE (integrated cooling system integrated in the server system) rack. 800 x 2240 x1200 The decision for integration is Server Rack of 800 mm width a logical step. with side cooling arrangement (300 mm) Server space is not unlimited! 1100 x 2200 x 1200 And through the trend to higher and higher computer Floor space needed for 100 U: performance accompanied by UNIQLE 1,92 sqm a greater packaging density, Server Rack 3,96 sqm server racks must assure a maximum of space efficiency. This enables a maximum computer density per m2 floor space to be achieved.
- 25. Cooling System For UNIQLE, only two SP54_Q racks with an integrated cooling system have to be in-stalled to obtain 100 U. For a comparable rack 800 mm wide with side-cooling arrangement, you already need a third rack and a third cooling arrangement. UNIQLE consequently guarantees a higher computer performance per sqm floor space and therefore absolute space efficiency. The UNIQLE cooling system is designed for useful cooling capacities of up to 21 kW and is therefore an absolute high- density cooling system. The cooling capacity of the system is continuously variable and is regulated to the specific conditions at any time by the integrated rack control.
- 26. Cooling System This means that at any moment only that degree of cooling is provided that is needed for maintaining the defined optimal space condition. In comparison with static cooling systems, significant savings in energy can consequently be registered. This is additionally supported by low pressure losses of ≤ 0,5 bar in the water system. UNIQLE thus ensures energy efficiency of a high order. The heat exchange takes place in the rack, making comprehensive additional installations in the computer room unnecessary. Account must only be taken of the feeder and outlet pipes for The replacement of the German-made industrial fan water in respect of the building. motors can also be carried out during normal operation.

- 27. Power Management The UNIQLE Power Management System is designed for 32 amps and distributes this safely and reliably over the corresponding cutout components to the individual consumers. The system can be extended by remote-control network switches with Ethernet connections for IP networks. In this way, all components can be switched on or off individually or Highly Available jointly via the network. and Reliable

- 29. Rack Control The Rack Management System (RMS) as an intelligent network agent monitors all the environmental influences on server racks. All the environmental parameters recorded are logically linked in a freely programmable filter system. As a reaction to certain environmental states, alarm messages are automatically generated and/or switch operations triggered. The RMS offers all sensors for the most diverse environmental influences and at the same time controls their internal power supply. In conjunction with the cooling system, the Rack Management Autarky, System automatically and continuously determines and regulates Anytime, the cooling requirement for the defined spatial state. Everywhere All temperatures and fault messages can be read off from a display integrated in the Rack Management System. The RMS is controlled via V.24, SNMP, Telnet and/or web browser
