For more information, refer to the Important Warranty Information card shipped with the server. Server Configuration and Management The server offers features to support effective server management and configuration. Refer to Chapter 5 for detailed information on each of these utilities.
2 Planning the Server Installation Server Installation Overview The following steps give an overview of the required procedures for installing the ProLiant DL140 server: IMPORTANT: Before beginning the following procedures, refer to the Important Safety Information guide that shipped with the server. 1. Select an appropriate site for the server. 2. Unpack the server and rack-mounting hardware. 3. Install other options. Refer to Chapter 3, “Installing Hardware Options.
HP servers draw in cool air through the rack front door and expel warm air through the rack rear door. Therefore, the front and rear rack doors must be adequately ventilated to allow ambient room air to enter the cabinet and warm air to escape from the rear of the cabinet. IMPORTANT: Do not block the ventilation openings.
The installation of this equipment shall be in accordance with local/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 Edition (code for Protection of Electronic Computer/Data Processing Equipment).
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage, ensure that: • The leveling jacks are extended to the floor. • The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks. • The stabilizers are attached to the rack for single-rack installation. • The racks are coupled together in multiple-rack installations. WARNING: When installing the server in a Telco rack, ensure that the rack frame is adequately secured to the top and bottom of the building structure.
Server Shipping Contents Unpack the server box and locate the materials and documentation for installing the server. All rack-mounting hardware for installing the server into the rack are included with the rack or the server.
3 Installing Hardware Options This chapter provides information and procedures for installing hardware options on ProLiant DL140 server. For additional instructions, refer to the installation documentation shipped with each option kit, To streamline the installation process, read the installation instructions for all of the hardware options and identify similar steps before beginning installation. After installing all hardware options, proceed with the server installation procedures in Chapter 4.

Each menu occupies a single screen and presents a list of menu items. Some menu items are sub-menus, while others are settings that you can change from the screen. Table 5-1 describes how to navigate between the utility screens and menus. Table 5-1. Setup Screen Navigation Press To ← Scroll left through the main menu screens. → Scroll right through the main menu screens. ENTER Select a sub-menu item or accept a drop-down choice. TAB Select a field within a value (for example, date field).
Advanced Table 5-3 describes the menu items available on the Advanced screen. Seven menu items exist on this screen. Each of these items contains sub-menus that in turn can also lead to subsequent sub-menus. Default values appear in brackets. Table 5-3. BIOS Setup Advanced Screen Menu Items Primary Menu Item Sub Menu Items SuperIO Configuration Serial Port 1 Address Value Description Disabled Allows BIOS to select serial port 1 base addresses.
Boot Table 5-4 describes the menu items available on the Boot screen. Seven menu items exist on this screen. Each of these items contains sub-menus that in turn can also lead to subsequent sub-menus. Default values appear in brackets. NOTE: Setting wrong values in below sections may cause system to malfunction. Table 5-4.
