Setup Optional service Delivered by experienced, certified engineers, Hewlett Packard Enterprise support services help you keep your servers up and running with support packages tailored specifically for HPE ProLiant systems. Hewlett Packard Enterprise support services let you integrate both hardware and software support into a single package. A number of service level options are available to meet your business and IT needs.
• Installation by an HPE authorized technical specialist. • Verification prior to installation that all service prerequisites are met. • Delivery of the service at a mutually scheduled time convenient to your organization. • Allows your IT resources to stay focused on their core tasks and priorities. • Full coverage during the warranty period for products that require installation by an HPE authorized technical specialist.
• Rack-mounting hardware (optional) • Documentation The server does not ship with OS media. All system software and firmware is preloaded on the server. Install the hardware options 2. (Optional) Install hardware options. For installation instructions, see Hardware options installation on page 49. Rack the server 3. Install the server in a rack. 4. Decide how to manage the server: • Locally: use a KVM switch or a connect a keyboard, monitor, and mouse.
Set up storage 7. Do one of the following: • To configure the server to boot from a SAN, see the following guide: https://www.hpe.com/info/boot-from-san-config-guide • If an HPE Smart Array SR controller is installed, use HPE Smart Storage Administrator to create arrays: a. From the boot screen, press F10 to run Intelligent Provisioning. b. From Intelligent Provisioning, run HPE Smart Storage Administrator. • If no controller is installed, do one of the following: ◦ AHCI is enabled by default.
https://myenterpriselicense.hpe.com Operational requirements Space and airflow requirements To allow for servicing and adequate airflow, observe the following space and airflow requirements when deciding where to install a rack: • Leave a minimum clearance of 63.5 cm (25 in) in front of the rack. • Leave a minimum clearance of 76.2 cm (30 in) behind the rack. • Leave a minimum clearance of 121.9 cm (48 in) from the back of the rack to the back of another rack or row of racks.
The maximum recommended ambient operating temperature (TMRA) for most server products is 35°C (95°F). The temperature in the room where the rack is located must not exceed 35°C (95°F). CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to the equipment when installing third-party options: • Do not permit optional equipment to impede airflow around the server or to increase the internal rack temperature beyond the maximum allowable limits. • Do not exceed the manufacturer’s TMRA.
Server warnings and cautions WARNING: This server is heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment: • Observe local occupational health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual material handling. • Get help to lift and stabilize the product during installation or removal, especially when the product is not fastened to the rails. Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that a minimum of two people are required for all rack server installations.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage when unloading a rack: • At least two people are needed to safely unload the rack from the pallet. An empty 42U rack can weigh as much as 115 kg (253 lb), can stand more than 2.1 m (7 ft) tall, and might become unstable when being moved on its casters. • Never stand in front of the rack when it is rolling down the ramp from the pallet. Always handle the rack from both sides.
If you are installing the server into a telco rack, order the appropriate option kit at the RackSolutions.com website. To install the rack brackets, follow the server-specific instructions on the website. WARNING: This server is heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment: • Observe local occupational health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual material handling.
Failure to observe UEFI requirements for ProLiant Gen10 servers can result in errors installing the operating system, failure to recognize boot media, and other boot failures. For more information on these requirements, see the HPE UEFI Requirements on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website. To install an operating system on the server, use one of the following methods: • Intelligent Provisioning—For single-server deployment, updating, and provisioning capabilities.
Operations Power up the server To power up the server, use one of the following methods: • Press the Power On/Standby button. • Use the virtual power button through iLO. Powering down the server Before powering down the server for any upgrade or maintenance procedures, perform a backup of critical server data and programs. IMPORTANT: When the server is in standby mode, auxiliary power is still being provided to the system.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage, be sure that the rack is adequately stabilized before extending a component from the rack. WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, be careful when pressing the server rail-release latches and sliding the server into the rack. The sliding rails could pinch your fingers. 5. After performing the installation or maintenance procedure, slide the server into the rack: a. Slide the server fully into the rack. b.

Cabling Cabling guidelines The cable colors in the cabling diagrams used in this chapter are for illustration purposes only. Most of the server cables are black. Observe the following guidelines when working with server cables. Before connecting cables • Note the port labels on the PCA components.
• Remove cables that are no longer being used. Retaining them inside the server can restrict airflow. If you intend to use the removed cables later, label and store them for future use.

iLO Federation iLO Federation enables you to manage multiple servers from one system using the iLO web interface. When configured for iLO Federation, iLO uses multicast discovery and peer-to-peer communication to enable communication between the systems in iLO Federation groups.
iLO RESTful API iLO includes the iLO RESTful API, which is Redfish API conformant. The iLO RESTful API is a management interface that server management tools can use to perform configuration, inventory, and monitoring tasks by sending basic HTTPS operations (GET, PUT, POST, DELETE, and PATCH) to the iLO web server. To learn more about the iLO RESTful API, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http:// www.hpe.com/support/restfulinterface/docs).
IMPORTANT: HPE ProLiant XL servers do not support operating system installation with Intelligent Provisioning, but they do support the maintenance features. For more information, see "Performing Maintenance" in the Intelligent Provisioning User Guide and online help. After the server is running, you can update the firmware to install additional components. You can also update any components that have been outdated since the server was manufactured.
management security provided by HPE embedded management products enables secure support of modern workloads, protecting your components from unauthorized access and unapproved use. The range of embedded management and optional software and firmware available with the iLO Advanced and iLO Advanced Premium Security Edition licenses provides security features that help ensure protection, detection, and recovery from advanced cyber-attacks.

Troubleshooting NMI functionality An NMI crash dump enables administrators to create crash dump files when a system is hung and not responding to traditional debugging methods. An analysis of the crash dump log is an essential part of diagnosing reliability problems, such as hanging operating systems, device drivers, and applications. Many crashes freeze a system, and the only available action for administrators is to cycle the system power.
System battery replacement System battery information The server contains an internal lithium manganese dioxide, a vanadium pentoxide, or an alkaline battery that provides power to the real-time clock. If this battery is not properly handled, a risk of the fire and burns exists. To reduce the risk of personal injury: • Do not attempt to recharge the battery. • Do not expose the battery to temperatures higher than 60°C (140°F).
10. To replace the component, reverse the removal procedure. 11. Properly dispose of the old battery. For more information about battery replacement or proper disposal, contact an authorized reseller or an authorized service provider.
