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: 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. To remove power completely, remove the server blade from the server blade enclosure. WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the internal system components to cool before touching them.
Removal and Replacement Procedures WARNING: To reduce the risk of shock or injury from high-current electrical energy, do not reach into a server blade enclosure once it has been installed in a rack and connected to a working rack bus bar. Do not touch the power or data backplanes within the server blade enclosure once it has been installed.
Removal and Replacement Procedures Server Blade Components Use the procedures in this section to perform service events on ProLiant BL40p server blades. NOTE: Slate blue components denote serviceable parts. 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. CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. Be sure you are properly grounded before beginning any installation procedure.
Removal and Replacement Procedures Figure 2-1: Pressing the Power On/Standby button CAUTION: After you press the release button, the server blade is unlocked from the server blade enclosure.

HP does not recommend changing this switch setting.
5 Port 84 Codes Determining Port 84 Codes A combination of port 84 LEDs is translated into a hexadecimal code, which can be used for troubleshooting. This chapter describes how to determine the port 84 code and what the codes mean. Refer to Figure 5-1 for the location of the port 84 LEDs. The port 84 LEDs can be viewed using one of these methods: • With the server blade in the enclosure, log into iLO to view the port 84 codes.
Port 84 Codes Figure 5-1: Port 84 location on the system board 5-2 HP ProLiant BL40p Server Blade Maintenance and Service Guide
Port 84 Codes The port 84 LEDs consist of two groups of four LEDs. Each group of four LEDs represents one character of the code. Figure 5-2 and Table 5-1 explain the components of the port 84 LEDs. Figure 5-2: Port 84 LEDs Table 5-1: Port 84 LEDs Item Description 1 Front of the server blade* 2 First code character (Most Significant Bit) 3 Second code character (Least Significant Bit) 4 Rear of server blade* * When reading the port 84 LEDs, you must be oriented to the server blade properly.
Port 84 Codes Moving from left to right, the series of numbers assigned to the first four LEDs is translated into a code, which consists of any characters 0 through 9 or A through F. The series of numbers assigned to the next four LEDs is translated into the same code, resulting in a final two-character code. Refer to Table 5-2 to determine how to read the code from the LED pattern.
Port 84 Codes Refer to Figure 5-3 and Table 5-3 for a sample LED reading and the corresponding code determined from that LED reading. Figure 5-3: Sample port 84 reading Table 5-3: Sample Port 84 Code MSB LED LSB LED Status Code 1 Off 0 2 On 1 3 Off 0 4 On 1 5 Off 0 6 On 1 7 On 1 8 Off 0 Using the code translation from Table 5-2, the resulting code would be 56.
Port 84 Codes Defining Port 84 Codes Refer to Table 5-4 for a description of each port 84 code. IMPORTANT: iLO port 84 codes may differ from port 84 LED codes. Table 5-4 defines port 84 codes for the system board port 84 LEDs only.
