HPE ProLiant SL4545 G7 Rack Options
Genuine HPE rack console hardware for the HPE ProLiant SL4545 G7, new and refurbished. Racking this platform is a chassis question rather than a server question: each chassis is 4.3U and up to 220 lb fully populated, and HPE specifies a 1200mm deep rack so there is room for the cable management arm and the PDU behind it.
SL4545 G7 Rack Specifications
- Form factor: a 4.3U chassis, racked either as a 5U tall unit with a 0.66U spacer blank or as three chassis grouped into 13U with the dense rack adapter
- Dimensions and weight: 7.47in (18.96cm) high by 17.45in (44.33cm) wide by 35.34in (89.97cm) deep, up to 220 lb (99.8 kg) fully populated
- Rack depth: HPE specifies a 1200mm rack, the extra depth being for the cable management arm and the host PDU behind the chassis
- Rails: one rail kit for every chassis in a rack, with the 0.66U spacer giving even 5U spacing for eight chassis in a 42U rack, or the 13U adapter reaching nine
- Console access stocked: analog KVM console switches, IP console switches with virtual media and CAC support, rack-mount consoles, and CAT5 USB interface adapters
- Thermal envelope: an inlet range of 10 to 35 degrees C (50 to 95 degrees F) at sea level, derated 1.0 degrees C per 304.8 m, with performance reduced above 30 degrees C or with a fan fault
Depth and weight are what decide whether this chassis fits. HPE specifies a 1200mm deep rack for a chassis that is 35.34 inches deep on its own, the difference being room for the cable management arm and the PDU behind it. Fully populated with drives, power supply and processor, one 4.3U chassis reaches 220 lb (99.8 kg).
What Does It Take to Rack an SL4545 G7?
| Constraint | Figure | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|
| Height | 4.3U per chassis | Racked on 5U centres with a spacer blank, or three chassis in 13U with the dense adapter |
| Depth | 35.34in chassis, 1200mm rack | The difference is for the cable management arm and the PDU behind the chassis |
| Weight | up to 220 lb (99.8 kg) | Fully populated with drives, power supply and processor |
| Console | Analog or IP KVM switch | Each connected server also needs its own CAT5 USB interface adapter |
Depth and weight decide whether this chassis goes into a rack you already own. At 35.34 inches it is long before an arm is attached, and HPE's 1200mm requirement is about what sits behind it rather than the chassis itself. The console rows are what this page fills: a KVM switch and its interface adapters serve a whole rack, which is how to buy them where three servers share one enclosure.
Choosing the Right SL4545 G7 Rack Options
- Measure the rack, not the chassis. HPE's requirement is a 1200mm deep rack, and that allowance exists for the cable management arm and the host PDU at the rear.
- Height is 4.3U, and the spacing is a decision. A 0.66U spacer gives even 5U spacing and eight chassis in a 42U rack; the 13U adapter groups three and reaches nine.
- Rails go per chassis, not per node. One rail kit covers every chassis in a rack, so a three-node 3x15 still counts as one.
- Each connected server needs its own interface adapter. A CAT5 console switch is shared across the rack, but the USB interface adapter is per server, and a 3x15 is three servers.
- Keep the inlet inside 10 to 35 degrees C. HPE notes performance may be reduced above 30 degrees C or with a fan fault, and the range derates with altitude.

SL4545 G7 Rack Options FAQ
How much rack space does an SL4545 G7 take?
4.3U per chassis. HPE racks it either as a 5U tall unit using a 0.66U spacer blank, or as three chassis grouped into 13U with the dense rack adapter kit.
How deep a rack does an SL4545 G7 need?
A 1200mm deep rack. The chassis itself is 35.34 inches deep, and the rest of the allowance is for the cable management arm at the rear and the host PDU behind it.
How much does an SL4545 G7 weigh?
Up to 220 lb (99.8 kg) with all hard drives, power supply and processor installed.
How many SL4545 G7 chassis fit in a 42U rack?
Eight using the 0.66U spacer blank for even 5U spacing, or up to nine using the dense racking option that groups three chassis into 13U.
Does every server need its own KVM interface adapter?
With a CAT5 console switch, yes. The switch and console are shared across the rack, but each connected server needs its own CAT5 USB interface adapter - and a 3x15 chassis holds three servers.
What inlet temperature does the SL4545 G7 tolerate?
10 to 35 degrees C (50 to 95 degrees F) at sea level, derated 1.0 degrees C for every 304.8 m of altitude up to 3048 m. HPE notes performance may be reduced above 30 degrees C or when running with a fan fault.
