Memory Advanced ECC (Standard) Memory Technology This section details the features and DIMM installation requirements for advanced ECC memory. Features Advanced ECC memory has the following features and advantages: • The ProLiant DL580 Generation 2 server supports up to 32 GB of system memory. Each memory board supports up to 16 GB of system memory using 2-GB DIMMs. • Advanced ECC memory detects both single-bit and multi-bit errors, and corrects single-bit errors.
Memory IMPORTANT: HP recommends that you use only HP DIMMs. Third-party DIMMs may have additional installation requirements. For information about third-party DIMM installations, refer to the Advanced Memory Protection white paper on the ProLiant website at www.hp.com. IMPORTANT: You must power down the server before installing additional DIMMs, unless you are using Hot-Add functionality.
Memory Online spare memory can be configured with either one or two memory boards. Bank B on the memory board in slot 1 is the online spare bank, even if two memory boards are installed. The online spare bank can provide memory protection for up to three other banks: one bank on the memory board in slot 1 and two banks on the memory board in slot 2.
Memory Single-Board Mirrored Memory Technology Features Single-board mirrored memory uses mirrored banks on a single memory board to provide a comprehensive level of protection against two common types of memory errors. Single-board mirrored memory has the following advantages: • Single-board mirrored memory provides protection against both single-bit and multi-bit errors. If a DIMM on the memory board has a multi-bit error the system reads from the mirrored bank instead.
Memory As long as no errors have occurred on the memory board, the system periodically switches the bank it reads from to be sure that both banks are monitored for memory errors. DIMM Installation Requirements In addition to the DIMM configuration requirements for advanced ECC memory, observe the following DIMM configuration requirements when installing DIMMs for single-board mirrored memory: • The board must be installed in memory board slot 1. • Bank B mirrors bank A. Bank A must always be populated.
Memory To use hot-plug mirrored memory, you must install a second memory board. Both memory boards must be configured identically (DIMMs must be the same capacity), and Dual-Board Memory Mirroring Mode must be selected in RBSU.
Memory DIMM Installation Requirements In addition to the DIMM configuration requirements for advanced ECC memory, observe the following DIMM configuration requirements when installing DIMMs for hot-plug mirrored memory: • Two memory boards must be installed. • Both memory boards must be configured identically. Corresponding banks (for instance, bank A on the memory board in slot 1 and bank A on the memory board in slot 2) must be populated with DIMMs of the same capacity.
Memory More more information on Hot-Add functionality, refer to the HP ProLiant DL580 Generation 2 and HP ProLiant ML570 Generation 2 Server Hot-Add Memory booklet on the Documentation CD or in the Reference Library on www.hp.com. System Requirements • Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition operating system • System ROM dated January 2003 and later • Advanced System Management Controller Driver, version 5.
Memory If a DIMM configuration error is detected, unlock the board and remove it to make any DIMM configuration corrections. The board can then be re-inserted and the Hot-Add procedure completed normally. If a board insertion is aborted because of a DIMM configuration error, the Advanced System Management Controller Driver is notified. It will log in the Integrated Management Log (IML) and the NT Eventlog that a Board Insertion was attempted and suffered from a DIMM configuration error.
Memory Configuring the Memory Configuring or upgrading the server memory system requires configuring both hardware and software. To configure the memory: 1. Remove the memory board. Refer to “Removing a Memory Board” in this chapter. 2. Install the required DIMMs based on the desired memory configuration. Be sure to follow all DIMM installation requirements. Refer to “DIMM Installation Requirements” specific to the desired memory configuration in this chapter. 3. Install required memory boards.
Memory Installation, Removal, and Replacement Procedures DIMM and memory board installation, removal, and replacement procedures can be either hot-plug or non-hot-plug procedures, depending on how the server is configured.

H Troubleshooting This appendix provides specific troubleshooting information for the HP ProLiant DL580 Generation 2 server. Use it to find details about server startup and operation errors. For information on LEDs and switches specific to the server, refer to Appendix E, “System LEDs and Switches.
Troubleshooting This appendix includes the following topics: • When the Server Does Not Start You are provided with initial instructions on what to try and where to go for help for the most common problems encountered during the initial Power-On Self-Test (POST). A successful startup requires the server to complete this test each time you power up, before the server can load the operating system and start running software applications.
Troubleshooting When the Server Does Not Start This section provides systematic instructions on what to try and where to go for help for the most common problems encountered during initial POST. The server must first complete this test each time you power up, before it can load the operating system and start running software applications. WARNING: A risk of personal injury exists from hazardous energy levels.
Troubleshooting IMPORTANT: If the server does not restart, proceed to the following section, “Diagnostic Steps.” 8. Check the server for the following normal power-up sequence to verify that the system meets the minimal hardware requirements and is powered up during normal operations: a. The power button LED turns from standby (amber) to on (green). b. The fans start up. It is normal for the fans to initially run at full speed and then slow down. 9.
Troubleshooting Diagnostic Steps If the server does not power up, or powers up but does not complete POST, answer the questions in Table H-1 to determine appropriate actions based on the symptoms observed. The flow of questions reflects the usual flow of events during a power-on sequence. A flow chart following this table illustrates the recommended diagnostic steps and decision options. According to the answers you give, you will be directed to an appropriate secondary table in this section.
Troubleshooting Table H-2: Is the System Power LED Off? Answer Possible Reasons Possible Solutions Yes, it is off The system is not connected to AC power, or no AC power is available. Be sure that the power cord is connected to the power supply. A power supply problem exists. The power supply may not be connected or inserted properly, it may have a damaged connector, or it may have failed.
Troubleshooting Table H-3: Is the System Power LED Green? Answer Possible Reasons Possible Solutions No, it is off Power On/Standby button has not been pressed firmly. Firmly press the power button. A power supply problem exists. The power supply may not be connected or inserted properly, it may have a damaged connector, or it may have failed. Be sure that the power supply is undamaged, the power supply is fully seated, and the power supply LED is green. The system may have experienced a short.
Troubleshooting Table H-4: Is the External Health LED Green? Answer Possible Reasons Possible Solutions No, it is amber One power supply has failed; therefore, power supply redundancy is lost. Be sure that each installed power supply is securely connected to an AC power source. Locate the amber power supply LED to identify the failed power supply. Contact an authorized service provider for replacement parts and service. No, it is red All installed power supplies have experienced a failure.
Troubleshooting Table H-5: Is the Internal Health LED Green? Answer Possible Reasons Possible Solutions For component failure identification (amber LED), check the hood label. No, it is amber A processor is in pre-failure condition. Use internal component failure LEDs to identify: A DIMM is in pre-failure condition. • Missing components • Degraded components • Failed components • Improperly installed components One memory bank is valid, but another bank is missing a DIMM.
Troubleshooting Table H-5: Is the Internal Health LED Green? continued Answer Possible Reasons Possible Solutions No, it is red A processor has failed. Use internal component failure LEDs to identify: Processor 1 is not installed. A processor is an unsupported type. Processor voltage requirements are mismatched. Processor does not have an associated PPM installed. A PPM has failed. A DIMM has experienced a multibit error. DIMM pairs have mismatched DIMMs.
Troubleshooting Table H-6: Is the Monitor Displaying Information? Answer Possible Reasons Possible Solutions No The monitor may not have power. Be sure that the monitor AC power cord is plugged in and that the monitor power button has been pressed. Video may not be connected properly. If a video card is installed, be sure that the video cable is properly connected. If a RILOE II expansion board is installed, verify that the video cable is connected to the video connector on this expansion board.
Troubleshooting Problems After Initial Boot Once the server has passed POST, you may still encounter errors, such as an inability to load the operating system. Use Table H-7 to troubleshoot server installation problems that occur after the initial boot. Refer to the HP Servers Troubleshooting Guide for more information. Table H-7: Problems After Initial Boot Problem Possible Reasons Possible Solutions System cannot load ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack.
Troubleshooting Table H-7: Problems After Initial Boot continued Problem Possible Reasons Possible Solutions ProLiant Essentials fails during installation. Error occurs during installation. Follow the error information provided. If it is necessary to reinstall, run the System Erase Utility. Read the Caution at the end of the table. Refer to the instructions in the HP Servers Troubleshooting Guide. CMOS is not cleared. Run the System Erase Utility. Read the Caution at the end of the table.
Troubleshooting CAUTION: The System Erase Utility causes loss of all configuration information, as well as loss of existing data on all connected hard drives. Please read the appropriate section and the associated warning in the HP Servers Troubleshooting Guide before performing this operation.
Troubleshooting ROMPaq Disaster Recovery A corrupted system ROM requires that you recreate the ROM BIOS by a process called disaster recovery. This operation can be accomplished only when the system is in disaster recovery (emergency repair boot) mode. When both system ROMs are corrupt, the system defaults into disaster recovery mode automatically and the server emits two extended beeps.
Troubleshooting 12. Wait until the server emits three rising beeps, indicating the completion of the ROM flash process. 13. Restart the server.
