HP CloudSystem Matrix 

How to order HP 

CloudSystem Matrix 

Ordering HP CloudSystem Matrix 

The method for purchasing HP CloudSystem Matrix is simple. Start by ordering a HP CloudSystem Matrix 

Starter Kit, which contains the infrastructure needed for a fully-working environment supporting up to 16 

HP ProLiant half-height server blades. Add Expansion Kits now or in the future to expand your HP 

CloudSystem Matrix infrastructure with additional infrastructure and blades. The central management 

server (CMS) host implemented in the Starter Kit simply extends its domain to manage additional 

infrastructure that might be added by adding Expansion Kits. 

NOTE: The Expansion Kit may also be purchased separately. Expansion Kits ordered separately will come 

with the Matrix Expansion Kit Integration Implementation Service. 

NOTE: Expansion Kits purchased must be co-located with the Starter Kit to which they are connecting to. 

NOTE: For detailed ordering information please see the Configuration Information Factory Integrated 

Models section of this QuickSpecs. 

NOTE: Cloud Service Automation for Matrix software (CSA for Matrix) is an optional component and is not 

included with the base package CloudSystem Matrix. 

With all HP CloudSystem Matrix Starter and Expansion Kit orders, the following services are included: 

Factory services to default configure, rack, and cable the infrastructure in a rack, 

Verify and update firmware for the entire solution being purchased (the CloudSystem Matrix kits 

and the supported blades and options purchased with those kits) to the latest current CloudSystem 

Matrix firmware release set. This ensures that the CloudSystem Matrix solution will leave the 

factory with the right levels of firmware needed for the end to end solution to be successful. (For 

specific version numbers supported and required, please refer to the HP CloudSystem Matrix 

Compatibility Chart on http://www.hp.com/go/matrixcompatibility) 

Coordinate hand-off to Technology Services (TS) or authorized partner. A TS or partner project 

manager is assigned for managing pre-engagement and assigning a team of engineers to perform 

the implementation service at the customer's site. 

Factory Express custom configuration services should be added to the order if an EVA configuration is also 

purchased in the same rack with the Starter (or Expansion) Kits, or if any other custom factory services are 

needed. Factory Express uses its standard processes for capturing customer intent and requirements, as 

well as providing order verification services. 

While Factory Integration/Factory Express are building the CloudSystem Matrix environment for a given 

customer, an assigned project manager from Technology Services (TS) will start managing a team of TS 

engineers to begin planning the rollout of the implementation service, including engaging with the 

customer on environmental requirements and related details. TS engineers will start the actual 

implementation on the Matrix equipment as soon as possible after its arrival date at the customer site. 

NOTE: The account team must initiate contact with a Factory Express Engagement Project Manager (EPM) 

to initiate the Factory Express processes, including communication of the Customer Intent Document (CID). 

The Technology Services CloudSystem Matrix Starter Kit Implementation Service is detailed in a section 

below.

Rack Airflow 

Requirements 

HP rack cabinets 

The increasing power of new high-performance processor technology requires increased cooling efficiency 

for rack-mounted servers. The HP 10000 G2 Series racks provide enhanced airflow for maximum cooling, 

allowing these racks to be fully loaded with servers using the latest processors. 

NOTE: For operation with the DC Input Module the HP 1200mm deep rack is required to allow DC power 

cabling to be installed 

CAUTION: CloudSystem Matrix infrastructures are best fulfilled with HP racks. However, if a third-party 

rack is used, observe the following additional requirements to ensure adequate airflow and to prevent 

damage to the equipment: 

Front and rear doors: If your 42U server rack includes closing front and rear doors, you must allow 

830 square inches (5,350 sq cm) of holes evenly distributed from top to bottom to permit adequate 

airflow (equivalent to a required 64 percent open area for ventilation). 

The clearance from face of rack to inside of the front door needs to be a minimum of 1.75". 

Side: The clearance between the installed rack component and the side panels of the rack needs to 

be a minimum of 2.75 inches (7 cm). 

Depth: a minimum of 39.4 inches (1000mm) for AC power, 47 inches (1200mm) for DC power input 

Adjustable rack rails are shipped with each enclosure: 

Minimum rail length: 25 inches (635mm) 

Maximum rail length: 34 inches (864mm) 

CAUTION: Always use blanking panels to fill all remaining empty front panel U-spaces in the rack. This 

arrangement ensures proper airflow. Using a rack without blanking panels will result in improper cooling 

that can lead to thermal damage.

NOTE: Considerations for Central Management Server (CMS) - choice of rack-mount or blade 

server: HP offers a choice of rack-mounted ProLiant server (DL or ML) as central management 

server host for HP CloudSystem Matrix. HP recommends the rack-mounted ProLiant DL360p 

Gen8 as the CMS host (see configuration below) for those customers who desire to use all 

available and licensed enclosure blade bays for managed target blades and workloads. When 

multiple management server hosts are required for scalability and high availability or hosting 

partner management software, multiple ProLiant DL/ML servers or server blades (or even a 

combination of blade or rack-mounted servers) can be installed and configured to work together 

to manage the CloudSystem Matrix environment. 

This CMS will be devoted to running the CloudSystem Matrix management software; other 

management software such as VMware vCenter Server should be installed on a separate server. 

NOTE: Larger environments may warrant having multiple CMS servers for these reasons: 

scalability, high availability of the management server and data, and separation of database or 

management components for performance or security access reasons. 

NOTE: If the recommended HP ProLiant DL360p Gen8 configuration above is not purchased, the 

customer agrees to supply or purchase other HP ProLiant rack-mount server(s) or HP ProLiant 

666224-B21 




server blade(s) that meet the requirements. See also the CMS requirements in this Insight 

Software 6.3 Support Matrix Chapter 2 "Central Management Server Requirements" for more 

information: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c02537423/ 

c02537423.pdf 

NOTE: This CMS should be implemented on a 64-bit Windows operating system. 

Target server blades 

NOTE: It is highly recommended that at least four (4) additional HP ProLiant c-Class blades be 

ordered with each Starter Kit, because the Onsite Implementation Service includes provisioning 

of up to four (4) HP ProLiant blades, two of which are directly provisioned as physical servers 

and two of which are virtual machine hosts. See separate section on "CloudSystem Matrix 

Starter Kit Implementation Service" for details. All shipping HP ProLiant c-Class blades are 

supported except the HP ProLiant BL2x220c server blades and workstation blades. 

NOTE: For server blade information, please visit: 

http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/north_america/12534.html 

NOTE: HP ProLiant server blades should be configured to connect via the Virtual Connect 

modules included in the CloudSystem Matrix kits. See the sections below on FlexibleLOM and 

Mezzanine options for further details.

Technical Specifications 

Half-height server blade bay numbering 

1. Device Bay 1 9. Device Bay 9 








NOTE: Half-height servers should be populated from top and bottom from left to right (looking at the front of the enclosure). So the 

first two half-height servers would be placed in bays 1 & 9 the second two half-height servers would be placed in bays 2 & 10 and so on 

until the enclosure is full. 

Full-height server blade bay numbering 








NOTE: Full-height servers should be populated from left to right. 

Mixed Configuration - Full Height and Half-Height Population rules 

The BladeSystem c7000 enclosure is divided into 4 zones by the vertical support metalwork. Within each zone a removable divider is 

used to support half height devices. To install a full-height blade in any zone this divider must be removed. As a consequence a zone 

can only contain either full-height server blades or half-height server blades. 

NOTE: Storage blades and tape blades can be installed in the same zone as both full-height and half-height server blades, a bracket 

ships with each SB40c tape blade that allows a half-height blade to be mounted on top of the tape blade. 

NOTE: The lower tape or storage blade cannot be removed without first removing the upper half-height blade.
