Scale Out Series Cabinet
Density
Side-to-side and back-to-back mounting for
highest server density
Thermal Management Power Distribution
Superior thermal management enables processors to
operate at full clock speed at 95 degree ambient
temperature
DC Power option provides power savings of up to
30
Serviceability
I/O in front and clean cabling reduces
maintenance time by up to 75 and dramatically
simplifies serviceability

Industrys First Distributed DC Power Solution
Power Cost Savings and Higher Reliability
Highly reliable DC power supply replaces standard
AC power supply
Rectifiers convert AC input to DC power for
10-30 increase in power efficiency
DC distribution bars inside cabinet deliver NM
redundant DC power to individual servers
20-40 shift or elimination of heat
