Server/ProjectOlympus

Welcome

Welcome to the Project Olympus Sub-Group. Charter for this team is to enable the OCP community to further explore, invent, collaborate, enhance, and produce great solutions for customers using Project Olympus modular building blocks. Project Olympus is Microsoft's next generation rack level solution that is open sourced through Open Compute Project. Project Olympus addresses variety of cloud workloads for Microsoft Cloud and was introduced in November 2016 with V1.0 contribution November 2017. Since inception Project Olympus has attracted a large group of partners from compute silicon providers to ODMs, OEMs and component  manufacturers and is becoming the de facto open compute standard for cloud workloads.

Project Olympus Modular System Design

Project Olympus is a modular system designed for convergence of the industry ecosystem to enable onboarding more hardware more quickly. The systems are designed for the needs of scale-up systems.

Project Olympus Rack System

Project Olympus is built upon a base Rack, 42U or 48U tall, with integrated A/C power distribution and rack-level management.

Project Olympus Specifications	Explanation
Project Olympus Rack Specification	Heavy Duty 42U or 48U options to cover your needs
Project Olympus Chassis Mechanical 3D PDF	Enables fly-by of the Rack with integrated PMDU, Rack Management, and Universal Power cords
Project Olympus Track Design	Tracks installed into the rack for the server installation
Project Olympus Universal Power Monitoring Distribution Unit (PMDU)	Distributes two three-phase AC Power inputs to each of the server positions. Home to the Rack Manager which serves as single point of control for the servers with embedded on/off capability and rack-level power measurement and power capping ability.
Project Olympus Universal Power Distribution Unit (UPDU)	2U Horizontal or 0U Vertical UPDU for use in any EIA rack
Project Olympus Universal Power Cord	Enables single PDU to use different Power Cords for World-Wide Deployments
Project Olympus Rack Manager	Rack Level Management integrates into the PMDU
Project Olympus Standalone Rack Manager	Servers don't have to use the PMDU. With the Standalone Rack Manager, you can manage any server with an Ethernet port off the BMC for single point of Rack-level control
Project Olympus Air Blocker	Plastic air blocker for EIA rack that works with both bare rails and with Project Olympus tracks

Project Olympus Servers

Microsoft's 1U and 2U servers mix and match with your motherboard.

Project Olympus Specifications	Explanation
Project Olympus 1U Server	Universal 1U server chassis
Project Olympus 2U Server	Universal 2U server chassis features 12 Large Form Factor HDD storage expansion
Project Olympus Universal Motherboard	Depicts a generic motherboard with I/O slots, face plate, mounting holes, power and management connectors all in the right place.
Project Olympus Server Power Supply	This native N+1 1,000W PSU accepts two three-phase AC Power inputs to automatically balance the phases to enable more servers to be deployed into the datacenter.
Project Olympus Universal Power Supply Software Interface	To enable the ecosystem to build many different motherboards, the software interface to the PSU is critical.
