Compaq ProLiant 3000 Server Features
Compaq ProLiant 3000 servers deliver state-of-the-art Intel Pentium II processor technology, expanded storage capacity, dual memory controllers, dual peer PCI buses, and advanced high-availability features.
Performance is maximized with up to two Pentium II processors, a new system architecture that improves overall system bandwidth, and up to 512 megabytes (for 300MHz models) or up to 3 gigabytes (for 333MHz models) of buffered EDO ECC memory. Input/output performance is enhanced by features such as Wide-Ultra SCSI-3 hard drives.
Compaq ProLiant 3000 servers provide state-of-the-art reliability and high­availability features, including redundant hot-pluggable power supplies and hot-pluggable Wide-Ultra SCSI-3 drives.
To facilitate upgrade and repair tasks, Compaq designed the ProLiant 3000 server so that no tools are required to enter the chassis.

When the Compaq ProLiant 3000 server is equipped with an optional supported modem, you can perform a wide range of configuration activities using the standard Compaq Integrated Remote Console (IRC). Some of the IRC features:
■ Accessible using ANSI terminal
■ Operates independently of the operating system
■ Provides for remote server reboot
■ Provides access to system configuration
■ Uses out-of-band communication with dedicated management modem
installed in the server
For more information about the IRC, see the Integrated Remote Console User Guide shipped with the server.
Compaq Integrated Management Display
The Integrated Management Display (IMD) is an LCD display panel that assists you in diagnosing and servicing the server without using a keyboard and monitor.

The features of the Integrated Management Display include:
■ Flexibility - The Integrated Management Display rotates to support both
tower and rack configurations.
■ Manageability - Typical service and administrative information
displayed includes:
❏ POST (Power-On Self-Test) messages ❏ User-defined administrative information ❏ POST and run-time error events ❏ System information

Compaq ProLiant 3000 Server Features
■ Ease of Use - The Integrated Management Display provides a 16x4
character display and four button control panel to easily navigate through menus.
For information about using the IMD, see Chapter 6, “Advanced Feature Operation.”
Supported Drive Configurations
Standard server configurations can include as many as seven SMART-2 or SMART-2SL Controllers, depending on the installed network operating system. The SMART-2 controller can support two Compaq ProLiant Storage Systems or one Compaq ProLiant Storage System and up to eight internal, hot-pluggable hard drives. The SMART-2SL controller can support one Compaq ProLiant Storage System or seven internal, hot-pluggable hard drives.
A maximum practical SCSI configuration, optimizing performance and storage, could include the following:
■ One network interface controller (NIC)
■ Seven SMART-2 or SMART-2SL Controllers
■ Twelve Compaq ProLiant Storage Systems
■ Ninety 9.1 GB drives
This configuration would yield a total storage capacity of 819 gigabytes.
Interlock Switches
Compaq ProLiant Servers contain built-in interlock switches. This feature:
■ Automatically turns the power off when you remove the server side or
top covers ensuring your personal safety.
■ Protects thermally sensitive components by providing optimal air flow
throughout the unit; therefore, removing this cover turns the power off to prevent any undesirable temperature conditions that could result in damage to the equipment.
The interlock switch does not limit access to the hot-pluggable SCSI drives and power supplies. Do not attempt to bypass or defeat this device.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from contact
with hazardous energy, the equipment is provided with safety interlocks. Do not try to defeat these safety interlocks. If an access cover is removed, the power supply is disabled until the cover is properly replaced.

Installation Overview
Server Warnings and Precautions
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces,
allow the hot plug drives and internal system components to cool before touching.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
■ Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is
an important safety feature.
■ Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet that is easily
accessible at all times.
■ Install the power supply before connecting the power cord to the
power supply.
■ Unplug the power cord before removing the power supply from the
server.
■ If the system has multiple power supplies, disconnect power from the
system by unplugging all power cords from the power supplies
CAUTION: Be sure that the power outlet you plug your power cord into is easily accessible and located as close as possible to the equipment operator. When you need to disconnect power to the equipment, be sure to unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
CAUTION: Protect the server from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS). This device protects the hardware from damage caused by power surges and voltage spikes and keeps the system in operation during a power failure.
CAUTION: The Compaq ProLiant Server
must always be operated with the system unit cover on. Proper cooling will not be achieved if the system unit cover is removed.
IMPORTANT: Because of the 100 to 120 VAC electrical rating of each power supply, some local electrical authorities may require either one 15-Ampere circuit for each power supply or one 20-Ampere circuit for each pair of power supplies.
Pre-installation Planning
This section discusses the power, grounding, and temperature requirements of the Compaq ProLiant 3000 server.
Power Requirements
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, fire, or
damage to the equipment, do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the server. Consult the electrical authority having jurisdiction over your facility wiring and installation requirements.
■ The power load needs to be balanced between available AC supply
branch circuits.
■ The overall system AC current load must not exceed 80 percent of the
branch circuit AC current rating.
■ If power strips are used, the load should not exceed 80 percent of the
power strip's marked electrical current rating.
