Page 17: I/O Subsystem
Larger MPS values can enable the optimization to gain higher performance. MPS Optimization is supported on PCIe systems running HP-UX, Open VMS, and Linux. System firmware level greater than 01.01 performs an optimization during boot time to set the MPS value to the largest size supported by both a PCIe root port and the devices below it.
Page 18: Memory Subsystem
To locate the HP part number, look at the HP Security/CT Label located on the DIMM. AH253A (4 x 2 GB DIMMs) memory with the HP part number AB565DX cannot be mixed on the same physical rank as 2 GB memory with the AB565BX HP part number.
Page 19: Power Subsystem
To locate the Release Notes and download the firmware: Go to http://www.hp.com/bizsupport. Select Download Drivers and Software. Select HP Integrity Servers. Select the link for your server product. After the firmware has been downloaded, you can install the memory. To install DIMMs, see “Installing DIMMs”...

Page 25: General Site Preparation Guidelines
2 General Site Preparation Guidelines Site preparation guidelines for the HP Integrity BL870c server blade are covered by the c-Class enclosure the server blade mounts in. The server blade also does not have cooling or power systems as part of the server blade. Cooling and power is provided by the c-Class enclosure. Therefore, the server blade power, cooling, and site specifications are included in the c-Class enclosure documentation.
Page 26: Installing The Server Blade Into The Enclosure
3 Installing the Server Blade Into the Enclosure This chapter covers the procedures for installing the HP Integrity BL870c server blade into a c7000 enclosure. Safety Information When removing and replacing server components, use care to prevent injury and equipment damage .
Page 27: Verify Site Preparation
Inspect each carton for shipping damage as you unpack the server. Place the server blade on an antistatic pad. Check the Inventory The sales order packing slip lists all equipment shipped from HP. Use this packing slip to verify that all equipment has arrived. NOTE: To identify each item by part number, see the sales order packing slip.
Page 28: Installing A Hot-Plug Sas Disk Drive
Use the following procedures if the server blade has a disk drive blank installed and you need to install a hot-plug SAS disk drive. For a list of supported hard disk drives for the server blade, see: http://h18004.www1.hp.com/ products/blades/components/c-class-storage.html Press the release buttons simultaneously as shown in Figure Pull the blank out of the drive bay.
Page 29: Installing Internal Components
Close the lever to lock the drive into place (2). Figure 10 Installing a Hot-Plug SAS Disk Drive Installing Internal Components Use these procedures to install internal components that were not factory-installed into the server blade. Before you can install the internal components, you must remove the access panels to install the internal components.
Page 30: Removing The Server Blade Left Access Panel
Unlock the cam on the right access panel latch (if necessary) by turning the lock on the access panel latch counterclockwise with a Torx T- 1 5 or flat head screwdriver. Figure 1 Pull up on the access panel latch (1). This causes the access panel to slide back about 2 cm (0.75 in) (2).
Page 31: Installing A Processor
Figure 12 Removing the Server Blade Left Access Panel After the access panel is off, you can do the following: Add an additional processor to slot 2 or 3. For more information, see“Installing a Processor” (page 31). Add additional memory DIMMs. For more information, see “Installing DIMMs”...
Page 32 Remove the dust cover from the empty processor slot on the system board (if necessary). Remove the processor 1 air baffle (air blocker) on the system board (right side only). Save this piece so you can reinstall it if you return the server blade to a one-processor configuration.
Page 33 Processor 2 air Processor 3 air blocker blocker Make sure the ZIF socket lock for the empty processor slot on the system board is unlocked by turning the cam counterclockwise 180 degrees with the processor installation tool. If the socket lock does not turn, the socket is open and ready for the processor to be installed. Figure 16 shows the ZIF socket lock for processor 1 in the unlocked position.
Page 34 Install the processor into the server by lining up the alignment pins on the processor with the holes in the processor slot. The processor load order is to load the processors into slot 0 and slot 1 on the right side of the system board;...
Page 35 Figure 18 Processor Sequencer Tighten the ZIF socket lock by turning the lock 180 degrees clockwise with the processor installation tool. Press down gently on the processor when tightening the ZIF socket to ensure the lock engages properly. Do not tighten the ZIF socket lock more than 180 degrees in either direction. This severely damages the socket and processor, and renders the system board unusable.
Page 36: Installing Dimms
If a multibit error occurs on an SDRAM, chip sparing enables that SDRAM to be bypassed (logically replaced) on that DIMM. To enable chip sparing functionality, use only HP DIMMs with the same part number . Following is the install order for the DIMM quads: Install slots 0A through 0D.
Page 37: Installing Mezzanine Cards
Insert a DIMM in a slot and push down firmly until the latches click shut. Installing Mezzanine Cards The HP Integrity BL870c server blade has three public ports for mezzanine cards on the system board. These cards provide I/O capabilities for the server blade. The server supports one Type I mezzanine card, and two Type II mezzanine cards.

Page 42: Installing And Powering On The Server Blade
Installing and Powering On the Server Blade This section explains how to install the HP Integrity BL870c server blade into a standard c–Class enclosure and power it on. When you install the server blade into the enclosure, by default, the server blade powers up to standby mode.
Page 43: Server Blade Power States
Close the extraction lever (2). The server blade should come up to standby power. The server blade is at standby power if the power button LED and server health LED is amber. IMPORTANT: If the server health LED turns green, and the fan noise increases, the server blade is powering up to full power automatically.
Page 44: Powering On The Server Blade
Powering On the Server Blade Use the following procedure to power on the server blade after it is installed in the enclosure. Ensure the server blade is in standby mode by verifying the power button LED is amber. If the power button LED is green, the server blade has full power. Press the power button momentarily to power on the server blade.

The HP Integrity Non-Volatile RAM (NVRAM) configuration backup utility provides the capability to store and restore critical server settings and EFI Boot Manager options on the HP Integrity BL870c server blade. This utility is available as an offline EFI application.
Page 146: Extensible Firmware Interface
NOTE: EFI and Pre-OS System Environment (POSSE) are similar. EFI is an Intel specification, whereas POSSE is the HP implementation that aids HP support. EFI consolidates boot utilities similar to those found in PA-RISC based servers, such as the Boot Console Handler (BCH), and platform firmware into a single platform firmware.
Page 147: Efi Commands
Figure 67 EFI Boot Sequence The EFI Boot Manager loads EFI applications (including the OS first stage loader) and EFI drivers from an EFI-defined file system or image loading service. Non-volatile RAM (NVRAM) variables point to the file to be loaded. These variables contain application-specific data that is passed directly to the EFI application.
