Installing a Second Processor Power Module (PPM)
Each Intel Pentium III processor supplied by Compaq comes with a Processor
Power Module (PPM) (DC-to-DC converter). Each PPM must be installed into
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
into the socket and close the latches .

Cabling Guidelines
Storage Device Installation Guidelines
This chapter provides an overview of the internal cabling of the
ProLiant ML350 chassis. It also includes information on how to cable SCSI,
IDE, and removable media devices in the system, as well as information about
all critical system cabling. If external cabling is required, please refer to the
documentation included with your external storage option device.
Consider the following guidelines when adding SCSI devices:
As a general rule, a maximum of seven devices may be added per
channel. Your server is equipped with two Wide-Ultra3 SCSI channels.
The configuration settings on each SCSI device should be set to the
SCSI ID of the bay (Bay 0 = SCSI ID 0) that it will occupy.
If only one SCSI hard drive is used, it should be installed in the
lowest-numbered bay (0).
Be sure to remove all terminating jumpers from third-party SCSI
devices.

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.

Communications Commission Notice
Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and
Regulations has established Radio Frequency (RF) emission limits to provide
an interference-free radio frequency spectrum. Many electronic devices,
including computers, generate RF energy incidental to their intended function
and are, therefore, covered by these rules. These rules place computers and
related peripheral devices into two classes, A and B, depending upon their
intended installation. Class A devices are those that may reasonably be
expected to be installed in a business or commercial environment. Class B
devices are those that may reasonably be expected to be installed in a
residential environment (personal computers, for example). The FCC requires
devices in both classes to bear a label indicating the interference potential of
the device as well as additional operating instructions for the user.
