Technical Information and Important Guidelines for DIMM Installation

When installing DIMMs, you must follow these guidelines:

■ Use only 128-, 256-, 512-MB, or 1-GB PC 133-MHz Registered ECC

SDRAM DIMMs.

■ DIMMs must be industry-standard 168-pin PC 133-MHz or faster

registered SDRAM DIMMs. The SDRAM DIMMs must support CAS Latency 2 or 3 (CL=2 or CL=3). They must also contain the mandatory Joint Electronic Device Engineering Council (JEDEC) Serial Presence Detect (SPD) information.

■ Do not mix ECC and non-ECC SDRAM DIMMs. If different types of

DIMMs are mixed, the system does not properly function.

■ A DIMM can be installed only one way. Be sure to match the two

key slots on the DIMM with the tab on the DIMM socket. Push the DIMM down into the DIMM socket, ensuring that it is fully inserted and properly seated.

CAUTION: When handling a memory module, be careful not to touch any of the contacts. Doing so may damage the module.

the slot adjacent to its processor to provide power to that processor. If the

processor is installed into processor slot 1, install the PPM into PPM socket 1;

if the processor is installed into processor slot 2, install the PPM into PPM

socket 2. If two processors are installed, both PPMs must also be installed for

proper operation. The PPM is keyed to ensure correct alignment. A notch in

the bottom edge of the module, near the center, must align with a tab on the

mounting bracket. The notch and tab will not line up if the module is turned

the wrong way.

1. Align the PPM with the appropriate PPM socket.

2. Slide the PPM

You can also change the Compaq Survey Utility data-gathering interval using command line parameters.

Compaq Diagnostics Utility

The Diagnostics Utility is accessed from diskette. A diskette can be created from the SmartStart CD. To run Diagnostics, insert the Diagnostics diskette and restart the server. The server powers up from the diskette and runs the Diagnostics Utility.

Automatic Server Recovery (ASR)

ASR is a feature in ProLiant servers that causes the system to restart in the event of a catastrophic OS error like a blue-screen, ABEND (abnormal end), or panic. A system fail-safe timer, the ASR timer, is started when the Compaq System Management driver, also known as the health driver, is loaded. The timer is periodically reset during normal OS operation, but in the event of OS failure, the timer expires and restarts the server. ASR increases server up time by restarting the server within 10 minutes after a crash or system hang. The Compaq Insight Manager console notifies you in the event of a server ASR. You can disable ASR from the Compaq Insight Manager console or RBSU.
