614167-B21 HP ProLiant s6500 Configure-to-Order Chassis Without Fans

The 614167-B21 is the HP ProLiant s6500 configure-to-order chassis without fans, a 4U multi-node enclosure. It holds up to eight half-width or four full-width server nodes, lets you mix and match nodes, and allows single node serviceability, with power supplies and fans shared across the nodes.

The chassis does not include power supplies or fans, and both must be chosen. The eight fan bays must all be filled with either the HP s6500 Redundant Fan Kit 617856-B21 or the Non Redundant Fan Kit 617858-B21, each kit holds one fan and is ordered in quantities of eight, and the two types cannot be mixed. The rear of the chassis has four power supply bays.

Supported nodes include the ProLiant SL230s Gen8 trays 650047-B21 (left) and 650048-B21 (right), the SL250s Gen8 trays 698723-B21 and 698724-B21, and the SL270s Gen8 trays 654947-B21 and 654948-B21. Half-width trays can be mixed with one another, full-width trays can be mixed with one another, and mixing full and half-width trays is not supported. A 2U half-width tray is not supported in the middle two bays.

Node blank kits, 688928-B21 for the left side and 688930-B21 for the right, fill unused half-width spaces. Gen8 servers use Platinum Plus common slot power supplies of 750W (656363-B21), 1200W (656364-B21) or 1500W (684532-B21), and G6 and G7 servers use the 1200W Platinum kit 578322-B21 or the 750W Gold kit 512327-B21. Power supplies cannot be mixed in one chassis, and the chassis is limited to 4800W AC or 4320W DC after losses.

Complete chassis models with fans and supplies fitted are 629236-B21 (three 1200W supplies, redundant fans) and 629235-B21 (two 1200W supplies, non-redundant fans). More multi-node and rack systems are in HPE server systems.
