If you intend to deploy and configure multiple ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 servers in a single rack, consult the multiple server deployment white paper on the Compaq website:
www.compaq.com/products/servers/proliantdl380
Optimum Environment
When installing your Compaq ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 server in a rack, select a location that meets the environmental standards described in the following paragraphs.
Space and Airflow Requirements
To allow for servicing and adequate airflow, observe the following spatial requirements when deciding where to install your Compaq, Telco, or third-party rack:
Leave a minimum clearance of 63.5 cm (25 inches) in front of the rack.
Leave a minimum clearance of 76.2 cm (30 inches) in the back of the
rack.
Leave a minimum clearance of 121.9 cm (48 inches) from the back of
the rack to the rear of another rack or row of racks.
Compaq servers draw in cool air through the front door and expel warm air through the rear door. Therefore, the front and rear rack doors must be adequately ventilated to allow ambient room air to enter the cabinet, and the rear door must be adequately ventilated to allow the warm air to escape from the cabinet.
IMPORTANT: Do not block the ventilation openings.
When there is any vertical space in the rack not filled by servers or rack components, the gaps between the components cause changes in airflow through the rack and across the servers. Cover all gaps with blanking panels to maintain proper airflow.
Page 30
Planning the Server Installation 2-3
Compaq 9000 Series racks provide proper server cooling from flow-through
perforations in the front and rear doors that provide 64 percent open area for
ventilation.
CAUTION: When using a Compaq 7000 Series rack, you must install the high airflow rack door insert [P/N 327281-B21 (42U) and P/N 157847-B21 (22U)] to provide proper front-to-back airflow and cooling.
CAUTION: If a third-party rack is used, observe the following additional requirements to ensure adequate airflow and to prevent damage to the equipment:
Front and rear doors: if your 42U server rack includes closing front and
rear doors, you must allow 5,350 sq cm (830 square inches) of holes evenly distributed from top to bottom to permit adequate airflow (equivalent to the required 64 percent open area for ventilation).
Side: The clearance between the installed rack component and the side
panels of the rack must be a minimum of 7 cm (2.75 inches).
CAUTION: Always use blanking panels to fill empty vertical spaces in the rack. This arrangement ensures proper airflow. Using a rack without blanking panels results in improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.
Temperature Requirements
To ensure continued safe and reliable equipment operation, install or locate the
system in a well-ventilated, climate-controlled environment.
The Compaq 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).
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 rack. Consult the electrical authority having jurisdiction over your facility’s wiring and installation requirements.
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
Page 31
2-4 Compaq ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 Server Setup and Installation Guide
NFPA 75, 1992 Edition (code for Protection of Electronic Computer/Data Processing Equipment). For electrical power ratings on options, refer to the products rating label or the user documentation supplied with that option.
When installing more than one server, you may need to use additional power distribution devices to safely provide power to all devices. Observe the following guidelines:
The power load must 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.
Grounding Requirements
For proper operation and safety, the server must be properly grounded. In the United States, you must install the equipment in accordance with NFPA 70, 1999 Edition (National Electric Code) Article 250 as well as any local and regional building codes. In Canada, the equipment must be installed in accordance with Canadian Standards Association, CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code. In all other countries, the installation must follow any regional or national electrical wiring codes, such as the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 364, parts 1 through 7. Furthermore, you must ensure that all power distribution devices used in the installation—such as branch wiring and receptaclesare listed or certified grounding-type devices.
Because of the high ground leakage currents associated with multiple servers connected to the same power source, Compaq recommends the use of a power distribution unit (PDU) that is either permanently wired to the building’s branch circuit or includes a nondetachable cord that is wired to an industrial-style plug. NEMA locking-style plugs or those complying with IEC 60309 are considered suitable for this purpose. Compaq does not recommend using common power outlet strips for this equipment.

Rack Warnings and Cautions
Before installing your rack, ensure you understand the following warnings:
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage, always ensure that the rack is adequately stabilized before extending a component outside the rack. A rack may become unstable if more than one component is extended for any reason. Extend only one component at a time.
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.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage, 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 may 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.
CAUTION: Always begin by mounting the heaviest item on the bottom of the rack. Continue to populate the rack from the bottom to the top.
Page 34
Planning the Server Installation 2-7
Server Warnings and Cautions
Before installing your server, ensure you understand the following warnings
and cautions:
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the internal system components to cool before touching them.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical 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 (earthed) electrical outlet that is
easily accessible at all times.
Unplug the power cord from the power supply to disconnect power to the
equipment.
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: Do not operate the server for long periods without the access panel. Operating the server without the access panel results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.

In the online spare mode, banks A and B provide standard memory functions, while bank C is configured for redundancy. DIMMs installed in bank C must be of equal or greater capacity than the largest pair of DIMMs installed in banks A or B.
If any DIMMs in banks A or B exceed the limit for single-bit correctable errors, the system copies the memory contents of the failing bank to bank C; then, the system deactivates the failing bank.
After installing DIMMs, use RBSU to configure the system for online spare memory support. See the Configuring Online Spare Memory section in Chapter 7, Server Configuration and Utilities.
DIMM Installation Guidelines
You must observe the following guidelines when installing additional memory:
Only install 133-MHz registered SDRAM, 3.3-V, 72-bit wide, ECC
DIMMs in the ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 server.
Only install identical DIMMs as pairs.
Populate both slots in a bank at the same time.
NOTE: The server ships with at least two DIMMs installed in DIMM slots 1A and 4A.
To ease successive DIMM installation, install the DIMMs in the paired
banks in sequential order. Install the second pair of DIMMs in slots 2B and 5B; then, install the third pair of DIMMs in slots 3C and 6C.
CAUTION: Use only Compaq DIMMs. DIMMs from other sources are known to adversely affect data integrity.

Hot-Plug Components
The ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 server supports hot-plug installation of fans and power supplies. The following sections contain installation procedures for these components.
Installing a Redundant Hot-Plug Fan
The server supports redundant hot-plug fans to provide proper airflow to the system if a primary fan fails. The ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 server airflow is divided into three zones: CPU, I/O, and power supply.
Standard Configuration
In the standard configuration, five fans cool the system: three fans in the CPU zone, one fan in the I/O zone, and one fan in the power supply zone. If any one of these fans fails, the system shuts down.
Redundant Configuration
For the redundant configuration, you can install up to three additional fans (one fan per zone) to cool the system. If only one fan fails per zone, the system continues to operate, meaning that up to three fans could fail, if they are in different zones. However, if more than one fan fails per zone, the system shuts down.

Connecting the Power Cord and Peripheral Devices
After the server has been installed in the rack, connect the power cord and peripheral devices to the connectors located on the rear panel of the server. Icons on the back of the server identify the function of each connector.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock or fire, do not plug
telecommunications/telephone connectors into the NIC connectors.
CAUTION: If the Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition board is installed in your
server, ensure that you connect your video cable in the video connector on the
rear of the Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition board. The standard video
connector on the server rear panel is not used when the Remote Insight Lights-
Out Edition board is installed. For more information, see Chapter 5, “Remote
Insight Lights-Out Edition (Optional).
IMPORTANT: Compaq SmartStart for Servers Windows 95, does not support a USB mouse. During the SmartStart process, you must use a legacy PS/2 mouse. For more information about USB support, see the ROM Legacy USB Support section in Chapter 7, Server Configuration and Utilities.

Power Cords
Observe the following warnings when working with power cords.
WARNING: The system power in the ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 server does
not completely shut off with the front panel Power On/Standby button. The two
positions of the button function as on and standby modes. The standby position
removes power from most of the electronics and the drives, but portions of the
power supply and some internal circuitry remain active.
Consequently, to remove all power from the system, you must disconnect the
power cord from the server. In systems with multiple power supplies, you must
disconnect all the power cords to completely remove power from the system.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical 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 (earthed) electrical outlet that is
easily accessible at all times.
Do not route the power cord where it can be walked on or pinched by
items placed against it. Pay particular attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the cord extends from the server.
