Customer self repair HP products are designed with many Customer Self Repair (CSR) parts to minimize repair time and allow for greater flexibility in performing defective parts replacement. If during the diagnosis period HP (or HP service providers or service partners) identifies that the repair can be accomplished by the use of a CSR part, HP will ship that part directly to you for replacement. There are two categories of CSR parts: • Mandatory—Parts for which customer self repair is mandatory.
• Obligatoire - Pièces pour lesquelles la réparation par le client est obligatoire. Si vous demandez à HP de remplacer ces pièces, les coûts de déplacement et main d'œuvre du service vous seront facturés. • Facultatif - Pièces pour lesquelles la réparation par le client est facultative. Ces pièces sont également conçues pour permettre au client d'effectuer lui-même la réparation.
NOTA: alcuni componenti HP non sono progettati per la riparazione da parte del cliente. Per rispettare la garanzia, HP richiede che queste parti siano sostituite da un centro di assistenza autorizzato. Tali parti sono identificate da un "No" nel Catalogo illustrato dei componenti. In base alla disponibilità e alla località geografica, le parti CSR vengono spedite con consegna entro il giorno lavorativo seguente.

Removal and replacement procedures Required tools You need the following items for some procedures: • T-15 Torx screwdriver (provided inside the access panel) • Flathead screwdriver • HP Insight Diagnostics software ("HP Insight Diagnostics" on page 47) Safety considerations Before performing service procedures, review all the safety information.
CAUTION: When performing non-hot-plug operations, you must power down the server blade and/or the system. However, it may be necessary to leave the server blade powered up when performing other operations, such as hot-plug installations or troubleshooting. Symbols on equipment The following symbols may be placed on equipment to indicate the presence of potentially hazardous conditions. This symbol indicates the presence of hazardous energy circuits or electric shock hazards.
Power down the server blade Before powering down the server blade for any upgrade or maintenance procedures, perform a backup of critical server data and programs. Depending on the Onboard Administrator configuration, use one of the following methods to power down the server blade: • Use a virtual power button selection through iLO 2. This method initiates a controlled remote shutdown of applications and the OS before the server blade enter standby mode. • Press and release the Power On/Standby button.
3. Remove the server blade. 4. Place the server blade on a flat, level work surface. 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 blade before beginning any installation procedure. Improper grounding can cause ESD.

4. Install the heatsink. Insert both screws, and then alternate tightening until the heatsink is seated properly. 5. Install the access panel ("Access panel" on page 24). 6. Install the server blade. Processor 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 possible server malfunction, do not mix processors of different speeds or cache sizes.
5. Open the processor retaining latch and the processor socket retaining bracket. 6. Using your fingers, remove the failed processor. To replace the component: CAUTION: The pins on the processor socket are very fragile. Any damage to them may require replacing the system board. CAUTION: Failure to completely open the processor locking lever prevents the processor from seating during installation, leading to hardware damage. IMPORTANT: Be sure the processor remains inside the processor installation tool.
1. If the processor has separated from the installation tool, carefully re-insert the processor in the tool. 2. Align the processor installation tool with the socket and install the processor. CAUTION: The processor is designed to fit one way into the socket. Use the alignment guides on the processor and socket to properly align the processor with the socket.
3. Press down firmly until the processor installation tool clicks and separates from the processor, and then remove the processor installation tool. 4. Close the processor retaining bracket and the processor retaining latch. 5. Clean the old thermal grease from the heatsink with the alcohol swab. Allow the alcohol to evaporate before continuing. 6. Apply all the grease to the top of the processor in one of the following patterns to ensure even distribution.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the system board, processor socket, and screws, do not overtighten the heatsink screws. Use the wrench supplied with the system to reduce the possibility of overtightening the screws. 7. Install the heatsink. Insert both screws, and then alternate tightening until the heatsink is seated properly. 8. Install the access panel ("Access panel" on page 24). 9. Install the server blade. Battery tray This component is available for use with future options.

Cabling Hard drive cabling CAUTION: When routing cables, always be sure that the cables are not in a position where they can be pinched or crimped. Using the HP c-Class Blade SUV Cable The HP c-Class Blade SUV Cable enables the user to perform server blade administration, configuration, and diagnostic procedures by connecting video and USB devices directly to the server blade. For SUV cable connectors, see "HP c-Class Blade SUV Cable (on page 55).
Numerous configurations are possible. This section offers two possible configurations. For more information, see "USB support and functionality (on page 50)." Accessing a server blade with local KVM For this configuration, a USB hub is not necessary. To connect additional devices, use a USB hub. CAUTION: Before disconnecting the SUV cable from the connector, always squeeze the release buttons on the sides of the connector. Failure to do so can result in damage to the equipment. 1.
1. Connect the SUV cable to the server blade. 2. Connect the video connector to a monitor. 3. Connect a USB hub to one USB connector. 4.
Diagnostic tools Troubleshooting resources The HP ProLiant Servers Troubleshooting Guide provides procedures for resolving common problems and comprehensive courses of action for fault isolation and identification, error message interpretation, issue resolution, and software maintenance on ProLiant servers and server blades. This guide includes problemspecific flowcharts to help you navigate complex troubleshooting processes. To view the guide, select a language: • English (http://www.hp.
This functionality supports operating systems that may not be supported by the server blade. For operating systems supported by the server blade, see the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/supportos). If a significant change occurs between data-gathering intervals, the survey function marks the previous information and overwrites the survey data files to reflect the latest changes in the configuration.
