• DIMMs must be installed in pairs. • DIMM pairs within a memory bank must contain DIMMs with the same part number. • Always populate the DIMMs in sequential order per bank: Bank A and then Bank B. • Always populate the memory boards in sequential order: Board 1, Board 2, Board 3, and Board 4. Any deviation from this requirement results in the server defaulting to Advanced ECC ("Advanced ECC memory" on page 51) on the next reboot.
ECC can correct single-bit memory errors, Advanced ECC can correct single-bit memory errors and multibit memory errors if all failed bits are on the same DRAM device on the DIMM. The following guidelines apply to Advanced ECC memory: • All general memory requirements apply. • Advanced ECC mode is supported with one to four memory boards. • Board insertions do not convert the AMP mode while the server is running.
• Each memory board includes its own online spare bank. All boards will operate in online spare memory mode independently. Each board can failover to its online spare bank independent of the other memory boards. Some boards can be in degraded online spare mode while others are still in operational online spare memory mode. • The minimum valid online spare configuration for a memory board requires at least one bank of dual-rank DIMMs or two banks of single-rank DIMMs.
size. For example, memory boards 1 and 2 could each contain 2 GB of physical memory per board with board 1 containing two 1-GB DIMMs and board 2 containing four 512-MB DIMMs. • The amount of memory between mirrored pairs can be different in quad-board Hot-Plug Mirrored Memory mode. For example, memory pair 1 (boards 1 and 2) can contain 2 GB each while memory pair 2 (boards 3 and 4) contain 4 GB each. • In quad-board hot-plug mirrored memory, the two pairs of memory boards operate independently.
Configuring the memory Configuring the memory system of the server requires configuring both hardware and software. To configure the memory: 1. Install the correct amount of memory for the desired AMP mode. For a list of AMP options, refer to "Memory options ("Memory overview" on page 50)." For more information, refer to "General memory configuration requirements (on page 50)." 2. Test the DIMMs for all AMP modes, except Advanced ECC, before configuring the AMP mode in RBSU.
5. Press the Escape key twice to go back to the main RBSU menu. 6. Press the F10 key, when prompted, to exit RBSU. The server reboots and tests all memory in the system. IMPORTANT: To reconfigure the memory mode after initial setup, you must reboot the system, enter RBSU, and select an AMP mode. Memory boards and DIMMs Memory board and DIMM removal and replacement procedures can be either hot-replace or non-hotplug, depending on how the server is configured.
Removing a memory board blank To remove the memory board blank, squeeze the levers and pull the blank out of the server. Removing a memory board (non-hot-plug) 1. Power down the server (on page 16). 2. Unlock the locking switch, and open the release latch. 3. Use the ejector lever to pull the memory board out of the server.
4. Open the memory board. 5. Replace the DIMM ("Removing DIMMs" on page 59). IMPORTANT: Be sure to observe all DIMM installation requirements for the desired memory mode. 6. Close the memory board. IMPORTANT: Be sure that the locking switch is unlocked. The memory board will not seat in the server if the locking switch is locked. 7. Install the memory board. 8. Close the ejector lever, and lock the locking switch. 9. Power up the server. 10.
CAUTION: Only memory boards with a green Removable LED can be removed. Do not attempt to remove any memory board with the Removable LED off. CAUTION: To prevent system failure, do not remove the memory board from the server until the board status LED stops flashing. 2. Unlock the locking switch, and open the release latch. 3. Use the ejector lever to pull the memory board out of the server.
Diagnostic tools In this section SmartStart software ................................................................................................................................ 60 SmartStart Scripting Toolkit...................................................................................................................... 60 HP Instant Support Enterprise Edition ........................................................................................................
ProLiant BL, ML, and DL servers. The toolkit includes a modular set of utilities and important documentation that describes how to apply these new tools to build an automated server deployment process. Using SmartStart technology, the Scripting Toolkit provides a flexible way to create standard server configuration scripts. These scripts are used to automate many of the manual steps in the server configuration process.
For more information on RBSU, refer to the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide on the Documentation CD or the HP website (http://www.hp.com/servers/smartstart). ROMPaq utility Flash ROM enables you to upgrade the firmware (BIOS) with system or option ROMPaq utilities. To upgrade the BIOS, insert a ROMPaq diskette into the diskette drive and boot the system. The ROMPaq utility checks the system and provides a choice (if more than one exists) of available ROM revisions.
Integrated Lights-Out technology The iLO subsystem is a standard component of selected ProLiant servers that provides server health and remote server manageability. The iLO subsystem includes an intelligent microprocessor, secure memory, and a dedicated network interface. This design makes iLO independent of the host server and its operating system. The iLO subsystem provides remote access to any authorized network client, sends alerts, and provides other server management functions.
For more information or to download the utility, refer to the HP website (http://www.hp.com/servers/diags). USB support HP provides both standard USB support and legacy USB support. Standard support is provided by the operating system through the appropriate USB device drivers. HP provides support for USB devices before the operating system loads through legacy USB support, which is enabled by default in the system ROM. HP hardware supports USB version 1.1 or 2.0, depending on the version of the hardware.
1. Bring the server to base configuration by removing all components that are not required by the server to complete POST. This process can include removing all: • Expansion boards ("Removing a non-hot-plug expansion board" on page 28, "Removing a PCI-X Hot Plug expansion board" on page 47) • Processors ("Removing a processor" on page 22), except the processor installed in socket 1 IMPORTANT: Processor socket 1 and PPM slot 1 must be populated at all times or the server does not function properly.
3. Install the expansion boards one at a time, rebooting between each installation to isolate the failed expansion board. 4. Replace the failed expansion board, if applicable. 5. Replace the PCI riser board, if applicable. 6. Replace the system board. IMPORTANT: If replacing the system board or clearing NVRAM, you must re-enter the server serial number through RBSU ("Re-entering the server serial number and product ID" on page 34).
• Expansion boards ("Removing a non-hot-plug expansion board" on page 28, "Removing a PCI-X Hot Plug expansion board" on page 47) • Processors ("Removing a processor" on page 22), except the processor installed in socket 1 IMPORTANT: Processor socket 1 and PPM slot 1 must be populated at all times or the server does not function properly.

NOTE: The system management driver must be installed for the internal health LED to provide pre-failure and warranty conditions. LED Description Fan X One or more of the following conditions exist: PCI X • A fan is missing or not properly installed. • A fan failed. One or more of the following conditions exist: • A PCI address parity error was detected on the numbered PCI slot. • A PCI data parity error was detected on the numbered PCI slot.
LED Description OVER TEMP The internal temperature has exceeded operating levels. NO BOOT A "no boot" condition was detected. P84 Switch set to display port 84 codes. P85 Switch set to display port 85 codes ("Troubleshooting the system using port 85 codes" on page 64). Setting the switch to view port 85 codes To change the display on the QuickFind diagnostic panel to view port 84 and 85 codes ("Troubleshooting the system using port 85 codes" on page 64): 1.
The SCSI IDs for both simplex mode and duplex mode are illustrated. Always populate hard drive bays starting with the lowest SCSI ID. NOTE: These SCSI ID designations apply regardless of the controller or the configuration used.
Hot-plug SCSI hard drive LEDs Item LED description Status 1 Activity status On = Drive activity Flashing = High activity on the drive or drive is being configured as part of an array. Off = No drive activity 2 On = Drive is part of an array and is currently working. Online status Flashing = Drive is actively online. Off = Drive is offline.
Activity LED (1) Online LED Fault LED (2) (3) Interpretation On Off Do not remove the drive. Off The drive is being accessed, but (1) it is not configured as part of an array; (2) it is a replacement drive and rebuild has not yet started; or (3) it is spinning up during the POST sequence. Flashing Flashing Flashing Do not remove the drive. Removing a drive may cause data loss in non-fault-tolerant configurations.
• If only one hard drive is used, install it in the bay with the lowest number. • Hard drives must be SFF types. • Drives must be the same capacity to provide the greatest storage space efficiency when drives are grouped together into the same drive array. NOTE: ACU does not support mixing SAS and SATA drives in the same logical volume.
Online/activity LED (green) Fault/UID LED (amber/blue) Interpretation On Off The drive is online, but it is not active currently. Flashing regularly Amber, flashing (1 Hz) regularly (1 Hz) Do not remove the drive. Removing a drive may terminate the current operation and cause data loss. The drive is part of an array that is undergoing capacity expansion or stripe migration, but a predictive failure alert has been received for this drive.
This fan configuration allows the server to continue operating in non-redundant mode if a single fan fails in either zone. If the system detects two fan failures in the same zone, the server shuts down to avoid thermal damage.
Hot-plug fan LEDs Status Green = Operating normally Amber = Failed Off = No power BBWC LEDs Server status LED 1 (amber) LED 2 (green) Battery module status Server is on and has normal run time Off On Fast charging Off Flashing The microcontroller is waiting for communication from the host controller. Off Off The battery is fully charged.
Server status Server is off and is in data retention mode LED 1 (amber) LED 2 (green) Battery module status On Off A short exists in the connection of one or more of the three button cells within the battery module. Flashing Off An opening exists in the circuit between the positive and negative terminals of the battery module. Off Off Normal Flashing every 15 seconds Off User data held in the write cache is being backed up.

CAUTION: When routing cables, always be sure that the cables are not in a position where they can be pinched or crimped. BBWC cabling CAUTION: When routing cables, always be sure that the cables are not in a position where they can be pinched or crimped. IMPORTANT: The BBWC cable is wound around the battery pack. Unwind the cable to the appropriate length before installing the battery pack assembly into the server. RILOE II cabling The 30-pin Remote Insight cable ships with the RILOE II cable kit.
CAUTION: When routing cables, always be sure that the cables are not in a position where they can be pinched or crimped. IMPORTANT: Install the RILOE II board into slot 7 for ease of cabling. Hot-plug SCSI drive cabling CAUTION: When routing cables, always be sure that the cables are not in a position where they can be pinched or crimped.
SCSI simplex mode In the PCI simplex cabling configuration, an optional PCI array controller controls up to four hard drives through one SCSI bus. SCSI duplex mode In the PCI duplex cabling configuration, an optional PCI array controller controls up to four hard drives through two SCSI buses. Each bus controls two hard drives. Hot-plug SAS 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.
For ease of cabling, route the cables in the server before connecting the cables to the SAS hard drive cage. NOTE: Port 1 supports hard drives 1 through 4. Port 2 supports hard drives 5 through 8. If you are using a single channel SAS controller, connect the cable to port 1. USB cable assembly The USB cable connects the front panel USB connector to the SCSI backplane. To remove the component: 1. Power down the server (on page 16). 2.
7. Loosen the screw, and slide the USB cable connector up to remove the cable assembly from the server. To replace the component, reverse the removal procedure. Power switch cable assembly 1. Power down the server (on page 16). 2. Extend the server from the rack ("Extending the server from the rack" on page 15). 3. Remove the access panel ("Removing the access panel" on page 17). 4. Remove the front bezel ("Removing the front bezel" on page 18). 5. Disconnect all cables from the media board. 6.
