To remove the server from an HP, Compaq branded, telco, or third-party rack: Power down the server (on page 16). Disconnect all peripheral cables and power cords from the server rear panel.
CAUTION: Do not operate the server for long periods with the access panel open or removed. Operating the server in this manner results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the server or expansion boards, power down the server and remove all AC power cords before removing or installing the PCI riser board assembly. Power down the server (on page 16). Remove the server from the rack (on page 16).

(http://www.hp.com/hps/carepack/servers/cp_proliant.html). Rack planning resources The rack resource kit ships with all HP branded or Compaq branded 9000, 10000, and H9 series racks. For more information on the content of each resource, refer to the rack resource kit documentation. If you intend to deploy and configure multiple servers in a single rack, refer to the white paper on high- density deployment at the HP website (http://www.hp.com/products/servers/platforms).
HP servers draw in cool air through the front door and expel warm air through the rear door. Therefore, the front and rear rack doors must be adequately ventilated to allow ambient room air to enter the cabinet, and the rear door must be adequately ventilated to allow the warm air to escape from the cabinet.
Because of the high ground-leakage currents associated with multiple servers connected to the same power source, HP recommends the use of a PDU that is either permanently wired to the building’s branch circuit or includes a nondetachable cord that is wired to an industrial-style plug. NEMA locking-style plugs or those complying with IEC 60309 are considered suitable for this purpose.
Identifying the server shipping carton contents Unpack the server shipping carton and locate the materials and documentation necessary for installing the server. All the rack mounting hardware necessary for installing the server into the rack is included with the rack or the server.
Installing the server into the rack To install the server into a rack with square, round, or threaded holes, refer to the instructions that ship with the rack hardware kit. If you are installing the server into a telco rack, order the appropriate option kit at the RackSolutions.com website (http://www.racksolutions.com/hp).
NOTE: For SATA RAID configuration, a driver diskette must be created. For information on using these installation paths, refer to the SmartStart installation poster in the HP ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack, included with the server. Powering up and configuring the server IMPORTANT: the server.
BIOS initialization. The memory subsystem in this server can support RDIMMs or UDIMMs. Both types are referred to as DIMMs when the information applies to both types. When specified as RDIMM or UDIMM, the information applies to that type only.
PC3 DIMMSs (RDIMMs) and Unbuffered DIMMs (UDIMMs). DIMM slots in this server are identified by number and by letter. Letters identify the slots to populate for specific AMP modes. Slot numbers are reported by ROM messages during boot and for error reporting.
Size Rank Data width Memory speed DIMM type For the latest supported memory information, see the QuickSpecs on the HP website (http://www.hp.com). Memory configurations To optimize server availability, the server supports the following AMP modes: • Advanced ECC—provides the greatest memory capacity for a given DIMM size, while providing up to 4-bit error correction.
DIMM configuration, the server boots in Advanced ECC mode. For more information, see "HP ROM-Based Setup Utility (on page 53)." For the latest memory configuration information, see the QuickSpecs on the HP website (http://www.hp.com). RDIMM maximum memory configurations The following table lists the maximum memory configuration possible with 8-GB RDIMMs.
• Each channel supports up to two Unbuffered DIMMs. • If quad-rank DIMMs are installed for a processor, a maximum of two DIMMs can be installed on each channel for that processor. • If a channel contains quad-rank DIMMs, the quad-rank DIMM must be installed first on that channel. DIMM speeds are supported as indicated in the following table.
To avoid damage to the hard drives, memory, and other system components, the CAUTION: air baffle, drive blanks, and access panel must be installed when the server is powered up. Power down the server (on page 16). Extend the server from the rack.
Connect the power cord to the power supply. Connect the power cord to the AC power source. Hard drive options The server provides non-hot-plug capability through an embedded SATA controller. To obtain hot-plug capability, install an optional controller and hot-plug cable option kit. Hard drive guidelines When adding hard drives to the server, observe the following general guidelines: •...
Optional SAS controllers support hot-plug SAS or SATA hard drives and drive LEDs. Removing a hard drive blank CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the server unless all bays are populated with either a component or a blank. Remove the component as indicated.

Install the storage controller ("Expansion board option" on page 38). The server does not power up if the PCI riser board assembly is not seated For additional installation and configuration information, refer to the ("Expansion board option" on page 38).
Close all applications. Power down the server (on page 16). In systems that use external data storage, be sure that the server is the first unit to CAUTION: be powered down and the last to be powered back up. Taking this precaution ensures that the system does not erroneously mark the drives as failed when the server is powered up.
Battery-backed write cache battery pack option CAUTION: To prevent a server malfunction or damage to the equipment, do not add or remove the battery pack while an array capacity expansion, RAID level migration, or stripe size migration is in progress.
Page 43
The battery pack might have a low charge when installed. In this case, a POST error message is displayed when the server is powered up, indicating that the battery pack is temporarily disabled. No action is necessary on your part. The internal circuitry automatically recharges the batteries and enables the battery pack.
Install the access panel. Install the server into the rack. HP Trusted Platform Module option Use these instructions to install and enable a TPM on a supported server. This procedure includes three sections: Installing the Trusted Platform Module board. Retaining the recovery key/password (on page 46).
Recovery Mode after BitLocker™ detects a possible compromise of system integrity. • HP is not liable for blocked data access caused by improper TPM use. For operating instructions, see the encryption technology feature documentation provided by the operating system.
To help ensure maximum security, observe the following guidelines when retaining the recovery key/password: • Always store the recovery key/password in multiple locations. • Always store copies of the recovery key/password away from the server. Hardware options installation 46...

ASR increases server availability by restarting the server within a specified time after a system hang or shutdown. At the same time, the HP SIM console notifies you by sending a message to a designated pager number that ASR has restarted the system. You can disable ASR from the HP SIM console or through RBSU.
HP and third-party devices. IMPORTANT: processors, SAS and SATA hard drives, and memory modules. For additional information, refer to the Management CD in the HP ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack or the HP SIM website (http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim). Management Agents Management Agents provide the information to enable fault, performance, and configuration management.
USB support HP provides both standard USB support and legacy USB support. Standard support is provided by the OS through the appropriate USB device drivers. Before the OS loads, HP provides support for USB devices through legacy USB support, which is enabled by default in the system ROM.
For more information, see the Management CD in the HP Insight Foundation suite for ProLiant. Array Diagnostic Utility The HP Array Diagnostics Utility is a web-based application that creates a report of all HP storage controllers and disk drives. This report provides vital information to assist in identifying faults or conditions that may require attention.
HP servers, storage, network and SAN environments, plus selected Dell and IBM Windows servers that have a support obligation with HP. It also enables HP to deliver higher levels of proactive support in line with HP Mission Critical Services support agreements.
