NMI switch

The NMI switch allows administrators to perform a memory dump before performing a hard reset. Crash dump analysis is an essential part of eliminating reliability problems, such as hangs or crashes in operating systems, device drivers, and applications. Many crashes freeze a system, requiring you to do a hard reset. Resetting the system erases any information that would support root cause analysis.

Systems running Microsoft® Windows® operating systems experience a blue screen trap when the operating system crashes. When this happens, Microsoft® recommends that system administrators perform an NMI event by pressing a dump switch. The NMI event enables a hung system to become responsive again.

System LEDs and internal health LED combinations

When the internal health LED on the front panel illuminates either amber or red, the server is experiencing a health event. Combinations of illuminated system LEDs and the internal health LED indicate system status.

The front panel health LEDs indicate only the current hardware status. In some situations, HP SIM may report server status differently than the health LEDs because the software tracks more system attributes.

Rack planning resources

The rack resource kit ships with all HP branded or Compaq branded 9000, 10000, and H9 series racks.

A summary of the content of each resource follows:

Custom Builder is a web-based service for configuring one or many racks. Rack configurations can be created using:

Server setup 21

A simple, guided interface

Build-it-yourself mode

For more information, refer to the HP website ( http://www.hp.com/products/configurator ).

The Installing Rack Products video provides a visual overview of operations required for configuring a rack with rack-mountable components. It also provides the following important configuration steps:

Planning the site

Installing rack servers and rack options

Cabling servers in a rack

Coupling multiple racks

The Rack Products Documentation CD enables you to view, search, and print documentation for HP and Compaq branded racks and rack options. It also helps you set up and optimize a rack in a manner that best fits your environment.

If you intend to deploy and configure multiple servers in a single rack, refer to the white paper on highdensity deployment on the HP website ( http://www.hp.com/products/servers/platforms ).

Optimum environment

When installing the server in a rack, select a location that meets the environmental standards described in this section.

Space and airflow requirements

To allow for servicing and adequate airflow, observe the following space and airflow requirements when deciding where to install a rack:

Leave a minimum clearance of 122 cm (48 in) in front of the rack.

Leave a minimum clearance of 76.2 cm (30 in) behind the rack.

Leave a minimum clearance of 122 cm (48 in) from the back of the rack to the back of another rack when racks are back-to-back.

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.

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.

CAUTION: Always use blanking panels to fill empty vertical spaces in the rack. This arrangement ensures proper airflow. Using a rack without blanking panels results in improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.

The Compaq 9000 and 10000 Series racks provide proper server cooling from flow-through perforations in the front and rear doors that provide 64 percent open area for ventilation.

CAUTION: When using a Compaq branded 7000 Series rack, you must install the high airflow rack door insert [P/N 327281-B21 (42U) or P/N 157847-B21 (22U)] to provide proper front-to-back airflow and cooling.

Server setup 22

CAUTION: If a third-party rack is used, observe the following additional requirements to ensure adequate airflow and to prevent damage to the equipment:

• Front and rear doors—If the 42U rack includes closing front and rear doors, you must allow 5,350 sq cm (830 sq in) of holes evenly distributed from top to bottom to permit adequate airflow (equivalent to the required 64 percent open area for ventilation).

• Side—The clearance between the installed rack component and the side panels of the rack must be a minimum of 7 cm (2.75 in).

Temperature requirements

To ensure continued safe and reliable equipment operation, install or position the system in a wellventilated, climate-controlled environment.

The maximum recommended ambient operating temperature (TMRA) for most server products is 35°C

(95°F). The temperature in the room where the rack is located must not exceed 35°C (95°F).

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to the equipment when installing third-party options:

• Do not permit optional equipment to impede airflow around the server or to increase the internal rack temperature beyond the maximum allowable limits.

• Do not exceed the manufacturer’s TMRA.

Power requirements

Installation of this equipment must comply with local and regional electrical regulations governing the installation of information technology equipment by licensed electricians. This equipment is designed to operate in installations covered by NFPA 70, 1999 Edition (National Electric Code) and NFPA-75, 1992

(code for Protection of Electronic Computer/Data Processing Equipment). For electrical power ratings on options, refer to the product rating label or the user documentation supplied with that option.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack. Consult the electrical authority having jurisdiction over wiring and installation requirements of your

facility.

CAUTION: Protect the server from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS). This device protects the hardware from damage caused by power surges and voltage spikes and keeps the system in operation during a power failure.

When installing more than one server, you may 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 percent of the branch circuit AC current rating.

Do not use common power outlet strips for this equipment.

Provide a separate electrical circuit for the server.

Electrical grounding requirements

The server must be grounded properly for proper operation and safety. In the United States, you must install the equipment in accordance with NFPA 70, 1999 Edition (National Electric Code), Article 250, as well as any local and regional building codes. In Canada, you must install the equipment in accordance with Canadian Standards Association, CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code. In all other countries, you must install the equipment in accordance with any regional or national electrical wiring codes, such as the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Code 364, parts 1 through 7.

Server setup 23

Furthermore, you must be sure that all power distribution devices used in the installation, such as branch wiring and receptacles, are listed or certified grounding-type devices.

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. Using common power outlet strips for the server is not recommended.

Rack warnings

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure

that:

The leveling jacks are extended to the floor.

The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks.

The stabilizing feet are attached to the rack if it is a single-rack installation.

The racks are coupled together in multiple-rack installations.

Only one component is extended at a time. A rack may become unstable if more than

one component is extended for any reason.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage when unloading

a rack:

At least two people are needed to safely unload the rack from the pallet. An empty

42U rack can weigh as much as 115 kg (253 lb), can stand more than 2.1 m (7 ft)

tall, and may become unstable when being moved on its casters.

Never stand in front of the rack when it is rolling down the ramp from the pallet.

Always handle the rack from both sides.

Introduction

If more than one option is being installed, read the installation instructions for all the hardware options and identify similar steps to streamline the installation process.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and

the internal system components to cool before touching them.

CAUTION: To prevent damage to electrical components, properly ground the server before beginning any installation procedure. Improper grounding can cause electrostatic discharge.

Memory options

You can expand server memory by installing PC4200 DDR2 unbuffered SDRAM DIMMs. The system supports up to four ECC DDR2 SDRAM DIMMs.

NOTE: By default, the server is set to Advanced ECC Support. Refer to "HP ROM-Based Setup Utility (on page

46 )" for more information.

The server supports standard memory configuration for maximum performance with up to 8 GB of active memory (four 2-GB memory modules).

Interleaving and non-interleaving memory configuration

The server supports interleaving and non-interleaving memory configurations. Interleaving memory increases bandwidth by enabling simultaneous access to multiple blocks of data. For example, to overlap read-writes, the server divides the system memory between pairs of DIMMs, and then writes to and reads from each DIMM concurrently. For an interleaving configuration, always install identical DIMMs in pairs.

For a non-interleaving configuration, install a single DIMM in slot 1 only.

DIMM installation guidelines

Observe the following guidelines when installing additional memory:

DIMMs installed in the server must be unbuffered DDR2 SDRAM, 2.5 V, 64 bits wide, and ECC.

Hardware options installation 27

All DIMMs installed must be the same speed (DDR2 PC4200). Do not install DIMMs supporting different speeds.

If only a single DIMM is installed, HP recommends installing it in slot 1A. •

BIOS detects the DIMM population and sets the system as follows:

Single-bank mode: DIMMs installed in one bank only.

Dual-bank interleaved mode: DIMMs installed in both banks with equal bank capacities.

The following table lists some, but not all, possible configurations. For best performance, HP recommends dual-bank interleaved mode configurations.

RBSU are not required to set up the server.

To navigate RBSU, use the following keys:

To access RBSU, press the F9 key during power up when prompted in the upper right corner of the screen.

To navigate the menu system, use the arrow keys.

To make selections, press the Enter key.

IMPORTANT: RBSU automatically saves settings when you press the Enter key. The utility does not prompt you for confirmation of settings before you exit the utility. To change a selected setting, you must select a different setting and press the Enter key.

Auto-configuration process

IMPORTANT: The F8 key is available only when a supported storage controller is installed in the server.

The auto-configuration process automatically runs when you boot the server for the first time. During the power-up sequence, the system ROM automatically configures the entire system without needing any intervention. During this process, the ORCA utility, in most cases, automatically configures the array to a default setting based on the number of drives connected to the server.

NOTE: The server may not support all the following examples.

NOTE: If the boot drive is not empty or has been written to in the past, ORCA does not automatically configure the array. You must run ORCA to configure the array settings.

Drives installed Drives used RAID level

Management tools

Automatic Server Recovery

ASR is a feature that causes the system to restart when a catastrophic operating system error occurs, such as a blue screen, ABEND, or panic. A system fail-safe timer, the ASR timer, starts when the System

Management driver, also known as the Health Driver, is loaded. When the operating system is functioning properly, the system periodically resets the timer. However, when the operating system fails, the timer expires and restarts the server.

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.

ROMPaq utility

Flash ROM enables you to upgrade the firmware (BIOS) with system or option ROMPaq utilities. To upgrade the BIOS, insert a ROMPaq diskette into the diskette drive and boot the system.

The ROMPaq utility checks the system and provides a choice (if more than one exists) of available ROM revisions. This procedure is the same for both system and option ROMPaq utilities.

For more information about the ROMPaq utility, refer to the HP website

( http://www.hp.com/servers/manage ).

Erase Utility

CAUTION: Perform a backup before running the System Erase Utility. The utility sets the system to its original factory state, deletes the current hardware configuration information, including array setup and disk partitioning, and erases all connected hard drives completely. Refer to the instructions for using this utility.

Run the Erase Utility if you must erase the system for the following reasons:

You want to install a new operating system on a server with an existing operating system.

You encounter an error when completing the steps of a factory-installed operating system installation.

The Erase Utility can be accessed from the Maintenance Utilities menu of the SmartStart CD

(" SmartStart software " on page 45 ).

HP Systems Insight Manager

HP SIM is a web-based application that allows system administrators to accomplish normal administrative tasks from any remote location, using a web browser. HP SIM provides device management capabilities that consolidate and integrate management data from HP and third-party devices.

IMPORTANT: You must install and use HP SIM to benefit from the Pre-Failure Warranty for processors,

SCSI 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. The agents allow easy manageability of the server through HP SIM software, and thirdparty SNMP management platforms. Management Agents are installed with every SmartStart assisted installation or can be installed through the HP PSP. The Systems Management homepage provides status and direct access to in-depth subsystem information by accessing data reported through the Management

Agents. For additional information, refer to the Management CD in the HP ProLiant Essentials Foundation

Pack or the HP website ( http://www.hp.com/servers/manage ).

Redundant ROM support

The server enables you to upgrade or configure the ROM safely with redundant ROM support. The server has a 4-MB ROM that acts as two, separate 2-MB ROMs. In the standard implementation, one side of the

ROM contains the current ROM program version, while the other side of the ROM contains a backup version.

NOTE: The server ships with the same version programmed on each side of the ROM.

Safety and security benefits

When you flash the system ROM, ROMPaq writes over the backup ROM and saves the current ROM as a backup, enabling you to switch easily to the alternate ROM version if the new ROM becomes corrupted

Server software and configuration utilities 49

for any reason. This feature protects the existing ROM version, even if you experience a power failure while flashing the ROM.

USB support and functionality

USB support

HP provides both standard USB support and legacy USB support. Standard support is provided by the operating system through the appropriate USB device drivers. HP provides support for USB devices before the operating system loads through legacy USB support, which is enabled by default in the system ROM.

HP hardware supports USB version 1.1 or 2.0, depending on the version of the hardware.

Legacy USB support provides USB functionality in environments where USB support is normally not available. Specifically, HP provides legacy USB functionality for:

POST

RBSU

Diagnostics

DOS

Operating environments which do not provide native USB support

For more information on ProLiant USB support, refer to the HP website

( http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/platforms/usb-support.html

).

Internal USB functionality

An internal USB connector is available for use with USB drive keys only. The internal connector shares the same bus with the front external USB connector, and connecting a device to both the front internal and front external USB connectors is not supported. This solution provides for use of a permanent boot drive from a USB drive key installed in the front internal connector, avoiding issues of clearance on the front of the rack and physical access to secure data.

For additional security, you can individually disable the front, rear, and internal USB connectors through

RBSU. Disabling the rear USB connectors in RBSU disables both rear USB ports.

Federal Communications Commission notice

Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and Regulations has established Radio

Frequency (RF) emission limits to provide an interference-free radio frequency spectrum. Many electronic devices, including computers, generate RF energy incidental to their intended function and are, therefore, covered by these rules. These rules place computers and related peripheral devices into two classes, A and B, depending upon their intended installation. Class A devices are those that may reasonably be expected to be installed in a business or commercial environment. Class B devices are those that may reasonably be expected to be installed in a residential environment (for example, personal computers).

The FCC requires devices in both classes to bear a label indicating the interference potential of the device as well as additional operating instructions for the user.

FCC rating label

The FCC rating label on the device shows the classification (A or B) of the equipment. Class B devices have an FCC logo or ID on the label. Class A devices do not have an FCC logo or ID on the label. After you determine the class of the device, refer to the corresponding statement.

Preventing electrostatic discharge

To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when setting up the system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device.

To prevent electrostatic damage:

Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.

Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.

Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.

Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.

Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.

Grounding methods to prevent electrostatic discharge

Several methods are used for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when handling or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:

Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer chassis. Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm ±10 percent resistance in the ground cords.

To provide proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.

Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both feet when standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor mats.

Use conductive field service tools.

Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.

If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, have an authorized reseller install the part.

For more information on static electricity or assistance with product installation, contact an authorized reseller.
