This behavior matches the behavior of all the other error indicators in the server. CAUTION: When the memory board locking switch is unlocked in a mode that does not support hot-add or hot-replace capabilities, audio alarms and visual alerts occur.

Removing the memory board at this point causes server failure. To end the audio alarms and visual alerts, move the memory board locking switch back to the locked position.

This action does not result in data corruption or server failure. If removal of a single memory board is required and it is the only memory board, power down the server and make the necessary memory changes. For more information, refer to "Memory Options on page The system maintenance switch SW1 is an eight-position switch that is used for system configuration.

The default position for all eight positions is Off. The boot device selector switch setting determines the device access order of the multibay drives in the server.

When the boot device selector switch is set to FLP TOP, the optical drive in the bottom bay is designated as the primary optical drive. The diskette drive in the top bay is bootable. The server cannot boot from a diskette drive in the bottom bay when the boot device selector switch is set to FLP TOP.

When the boot device selector switch is set to FLP BOT, the optical drive in the top bay is designated as the primary optical drive. The diskette drive in the bottom bay is bootable. NOTE: If two optical drives are installed in the server, the server will first attempt to boot from the primary optical drive.

The boot device selector switch setting determines which drive is the primary optical drive. The front panel health LEDs indicate only the current hardware status. In normal operations, all of the LEDs are off unless one of the components fails. The server supports singleor dual-channel hard drive configurations. The single-channel configuration simplex mode supports up to four hard drives on one channel. When adding SAS hard drives to the server, observe the following general guidelines:.

The server is shipped with six system fans. Each fan is hot-swappable and independently controlled. The fans are distributed into two zones to control thermal conditions within the server. This fan configuration allows the server to continue operating in non-redundant mode if a single fan fails in either zone. If the system detects two fan failures in the same zone, the server shuts down to avoid thermal damage.

Shut down the OS as directed by the OS documentation. When the server enters standby power mode, the system power LED changes to amber. Disconnect the power cords.

The design of the server enables you to access several components through the front of the server. Installing or accessing the following components will not require extending the server from the rack:.

NOTE: If the server is in a rack and in the shipping configuration, remove the two shipping screws directly behind the levers. Extend the server on the rack rails until the server rail-release latches engage. WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage, be sure that the rack is adequately stabilized before extending a component from the rack. WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, be careful when pressing the server rail-release latches and sliding the server into the rack.

The sliding rails could pinch your fingers. After performing the installation or maintenance procedure, slide the server back into the rack by pressing the server rail-release latches. NOTE: The release latches will lock into place when the rails are fully extended. WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the internal system components to cool before touching them.

Operating the server in this manner results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage. Extend the server from the rack, if applicable "Extending the server from the rack" on page If the locking latch is locked, use a Torx T screwdriver to unlock the latch. After installing hardware options, replace the access panel. Be sure that the panel is securely locked into place before powering up the server. The server supports redundant hot-plug fans "Fan locations" on page 32 to provide proper airflow to the server if a primary fan fails.

Remove the access panel "Removing the access panel" on page Remove the malfunctioning hot-plug fan from the server. Repeat to replace additional fans as needed. Observe the internal system health LED on the front panel to be sure it is illuminated green "Front panel LEDs and buttons" on page NOTE: If the front panel internal system health LED is not green after you install hot-plug fans, reseat the hot-plug fan or refer to the troubleshooting section.

Installing or accessing some options in the server may require removing the system cage. Refer to the instructions for each individual option to determine if removing the system cage is necessary.

Power down the server, if applicable "Powering down the server" on page Remove all expansion boards and expansion slot covers. Remove all system fans "Replacing hot-plug fans" on page Remove all power supplies "Redundant hot-plug power supply" on page Loosen the thumbscrews, and lift the system cage from the server.

The T Torx screwdriver is shipped with the server and can be located on the rear panel "Rear panel components" on page If the server no longer automatically displays the correct date and time, you may need to replace the battery that provides power to the real-time clock. Under normal use, battery life is 5 to 10 years. A risk of fire and burns exists if the battery pack is not properly handled.

To reduce the risk of personal injury:. Power down the server "Powering down the server" on page Remove any hardware that will interfere with accessing the battery. For more information about battery replacement or proper disposal, contact an authorized reseller or an authorized service provider. Delivered by experienced, certified engineers, HP Care Pack services help you keep your servers up and running with support packages tailored specifically for HP ProLiant systems.

HP Care Packs let you integrate both hardware and software support into a single package. A number of service level options are available to meet your needs. HP Care Pack Services offer upgraded service levels to expand your standard product warranty with easy-to-buy, easy-to-use support packages that help you make the most of your server investments.

Some of the Care Pack services are:. The rack resource kit ships with all HP branded or Compaq branded , , and H9 series racks. A summary of the content of each resource follows:. Rack configurations can be created using:. It also provides the following important configuration steps:. It also helps you set up and optimize a rack in a manner that best fits your environment.

When installing the server, select a location that meets the environmental standards described in this section. To allow for servicing and adequate airflow, observe the following space and airflow requirements when deciding where to install a rack:.

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.

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. This arrangement ensures proper airflow. Using a rack without blanking panels results in improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.

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. The chassis ID switch on the system board is reserved for use by authorized technicians only. Do not modify the switch setting. When the internal health LED on the front panel illuminates either amber or red, the server is experiencing a health event.

The front panel health LEDs indicate only the current hardware status. In some situations, Insight Manager 7 may report server status differently than the health LEDs because the software tracks more system attributes.
