APC® by Schneider Electric Solutions for Cisco® Unified Computing System (UCS) Blade Applications

The Cisco Unified Computing System is a next-generation data center platform that unites compute, network, storage access, and virtualization into a cohesive system designed to reduce TCO and increase business agility. The system integrates a low-latency, lossless 10GE unified network fabric with enterprise-class, x86-architecture servers. The system is an integrated, scalable, multi-chassis platform in which all resources participate in a unified management domain.

Blade server applications present unique challenges in terms of rack level power distribution, cable management and physical access space requirements for hot-swappable blade components.

This application guide provides recommendations for enclosures, rack power distribution, and cable management to best address the specific physical infrastructure needs of the Cisco UCS 5108 Blade Server Chassis. The recommended solutions in this guide are based on physical verification and testing of an actual Cisco UCS 5108 Blade Server Chassis mounted in APC enclosures.

APC Solutions for Cisco®

Catalyst® SwitchesThe Cisco / APC relationship began in 1998 with a focus on non-stop networking and has since grown to include the integration of various platforms, the sharing of intellectual property for white papers and design specifications as well as joint field engagements.

Power protection is a crucial component of VoIP & IP Telephony networks and helps to ensure that they meet the demands for “always available” systems. To achieve the highest levels of availability, it is essential that Layer 0 solutions support VoIP & IP Telephony networks, in line with your business requirements. This document discusses the power needs of Cisco® Catalyst® Switches and appropriate APC UPS solutions.

Power Requirements for Cisco UCS 5108

Source “A”(2) C20

Connectors

Source “B”(2) C20

Connectors

The UCS 5108 Blade Server Chassis includes four, single phase, hot- swappable redundant power supplies with IEC C20 Inlet connections.

In a typical power configuration, two IEC C20 inlets on the UCS 5108 are connected to each power source.

The total power consumption per chassis for typical enterprise applications is 2.0 – 2.5 kW; while a typical peak power consumption is 2.8 – 3.0 kW. In order to allow for loss of one power source, each power source should be sized and provisioned for approximately 3.0kW per chassis loading scenario as indicated below.

Note: High performance computing applications with extremely heavy loading conditions have been tested and measured to draw a peak power consumption of 3.2kW per chassis. Under these conditions, users should provision 3.2kW per chassis.

Rack Enclosure Recommendation

Steps to select the correct enclosure to match site/application requirements:

1. Choose Region and Density: Select the number of chassis expected per enclosure

2. Choose enclosure width: Wider enclosures offer the best use of cable management space and access to blade modules, however site specific limitations may require standard 600mm width enclosure

3. Choose enclosure depth: Deeper enclosures are an alternative to wider enclosures for increased cable management and PDU space

4. Choose the Configuration: Reference the diagrams in this document for configuration recommendations and planning considerations

5. Choose Enclosure and Cable Management from the reference diagrams

The clearance access space required to access the hot swap blade chassis modules require special consideration in the selection and configuration of a proper rack enclosure to match the space requirements for access, power distribution, and data cabling. The specific selection of a properly sized rack enclosure depends upon your site specific data, cabling and rack power positioning preferences.
