Page 39: Setup
Setup Optional services Delivered by experienced, certified engineers, HPE support services help you keep your servers up and running with support packages tailored specifically for HPE ProLiant systems. HPE support services let you integrate both hardware and software support into a single package. A number of service level options are available to meet your business and IT needs.
Page 40: Temperature Requirements
CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and damage to the equipment, do not block the ventilation openings. When vertical space in the rack is not filled by a server or rack component, the gaps between the components cause changes in airflow through the rack and across the servers. Cover all gaps with blanking panels to maintain proper airflow.
Page 41: Electrical Grounding Requirements
When installing more than one server, you might need to use additional power distribution devices to safely provide power to all devices. Observe the following guidelines: • Balance the server power load between available AC supply branch circuits. • Do not allow the overall system AC current load to exceed 80% of the branch circuit AC current rating.
Page 42: Server Warnings And Caution
CAUTION: If the DC connection exists between the earthed conductor of the DC supply circuit and the earthing conductor at the server equipment, the following conditions must be met: • This equipment must be connected directly to the DC supply system earthing electrode conductor or to a bonding jumper from an earthing terminal bar or bus to which the DC supply system earthing electrode conductor is connected.
Page 43: Rack Warnings And Caution
CAUTION: Protect the server from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a regulating uninterruptible power supply. This device protects the hardware from damage caused by power surges and voltage spikes and keeps the system in operation during a power failure. Rack warnings and caution WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure that: •...

Dual- and quad-rank DIMMs provide the greatest capacity with the existing memory technology. For example, if current DRAM technology supports 8-GB single-rank DIMMs, a dual-rank DIMM would be 16 GB, and a quad-rank DIMM would be 32 GB. LRDIMMs are labeled as quad-rank DIMMs. There are four ranks of DRAM on the DIMM, but the LRDIMM buffer creates an abstraction that allows the DIMM to appear as a dual-rank DIMM to the system.

that is degrading. This allows DIMMs that have a higher probability of receiving an uncorrectable memory error (which would result in system downtime) to be removed from operation. • Mirrored memory—Provides maximum protection against failed DIMMs. Uncorrectable errors in one channel are corrected by the mirror channel.
Page 117: Identifying The Processor Type
• When only one processor is installed, install DIMMs in sequential alphabetic order: Ch 1-A, Ch 2-B, Ch 3-C, Ch 4-D. • When two processors are installed, install the DIMMs in sequential alphabetical order balanced between the two processors: P1-A, P2-A, P1-B, P2-B, P1-C, P2-C, P1-D, P2-D. For more information about server memory, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/info/memory).
