2 Removal and Replacement Procedures This chapter provides subassembly/module-level removal and replacement procedures for system components. After completing all necessary removal and replacement procedures, verify that all components operate properly by running the appropriate diagnostic software: • For server blade components, run the Server Diagnostics Utility, available from the HP website: www.hp.com • For server blade enclosure and power enclosure components, run the infrastructure diagnostics.
Removal and Replacement Procedures WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the internal system components to cool before touching them. 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.
Removal and Replacement Procedures WARNING: To reduce the risk of shock or injury from high-current electrical energy, do not reach into a power supply enclosure once it has been installed in a rack and connected to a power source. Do not touch the connectors within the power supply enclosure once it has been installed.
Removal and Replacement Procedures Server Blade Preparation To service any internal server blade component, you must power down the server blade and remove it from the server blade enclosure. NOTE: When removing a server blade, it is not necessary to remove the blade sleeve from the enclosure. CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. Be sure you are properly grounded before beginning any installation procedure.

Connectors, LEDs, and Switches LEDs ProLiant BL30p Server Blade Front Panel Six LEDs on the front of the server blade indicate server status. Use Figure 4-6 and Table 4-4 to identify LED locations and functions.
Connectors, LEDs, and Switches Table 4-4: ProLiant BL30p Server Blade Front Panel LEDs Item 1 LED Description Status Server Blade Unit Identification (UID) LED Blue = Flagged Blue flashing = Management mode Off = No remote management 2 Server Blade Health LED Green = Normal status Flashing = Booting Amber = Degraded status Red = Critical status Green = Linked to network 3 Server Blade NIC 1 LED* 4 Server Blade NIC 2 LED* 5 Server Blade Hard Drive Activity LED Green/Flashing = Activity Power
Connectors, LEDs, and Switches Switches and Buttons Use the following sections to identify the locations and functions of push-button and system switches. Power On/Standby Button Setting the server blade Power On/Standby button to the standby position removes power from most areas of the server blade. This process may take 30 seconds, during which time some internal circuitry remains active.
Connectors, LEDs, and Switches System Switches System switches enable you to change certain settings or to perform advanced diagnostic procedures. Use Figure 4-7 to identify the system maintenance switch location. Figure 4-7: Server blade system switches Refer to the HP ProLiant BL30p Setup and Installation Guide or to the hood label on the server blade for the switch functions.
Connectors, LEDs, and Switches NMI Switch Crash dump analysis is an essential part of eliminating reliability problems such as hangs or crashes in operating systems, device drivers, and applications. Crashes can freeze a system, requiring you to do a hard reset. Resetting the system erases any information that supports root cause analysis. Systems running Microsoft Windows 2000 or 2003 experience a blue screen trap when the operating system crashes.
Connectors, LEDs, and Switches 7. Repeat steps 1 through 3. 8. Change position 6 of SW1 to off. 9. Repeat steps 5 through 7. IMPORTANT: When the server blade boots after NVRAM is cleared, a delay of up to 2 minutes is normal. During this delay, the system appears non-functional. Do not attempt any procedures during the delay.
Connectors, LEDs, and Switches Accessing the Redundant ROM If the system ROM is corrupted, you can set the system to use the backup version or redundant ROM. To use the redundant ROM: 1. Power down the server blade: — Press the Power On/Standby button on the front of the server blade. — Use the virtual power button feature in the iLO remote console. 2. Disconnect the server blade from all power sources: — Remove the server blade from the enclosure and set it on a flat, level surface.
