Disk Drive Fault Tolerance
Disk drive fault tolerance for Compaq servers is covered in more detail in the
Compaq Server Online Reference Guide on the Systems Reference Library
(SRL) CD. The following Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks (RAID) types
are supported:
■ RAID 0 - no fault tolerance
■ RAID 1 - mirroring
■ RAID 4 - data guarding
■ RAID 5 - distributed data guarding
Compaq Insight Manager
Compaq Insight Manager is an easy-to-use utility for collecting server
information. This information is used by Insight Manager to perform the
following functions:
■ Sends fault condition alerts to a predetermined destination
■ Monitors fault conditions and server performance
1-7
■ Controls server security and configuration
■ Remotely controls servers
■ Initiates rapid recovery services
■ Web browser access for monitoring of management information
In Compaq servers, every hardware subsystem, such as disk storage, system
memory, and system processor, has a robust set of management capabilities.
Compaq Full-Spectrum Fault Management prevents faults before they happen,
keeps the system up and running in the unlikely event of a failure, and delivers
rapid server recovery to normal operation after a fault. See Chapter 5, “Server
Configuration and Utilities,” for more information.

Compaq ProLiant 3000 Server Features
1-10
■ 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.
Supported Drive Configurations
Standard server configurations can include as many as seven Smart Array
family controllers. Each Smart Array controller can support two Compaq
ProLiant Storage Systems or one Compaq ProLiant Storage System and up to
ten 1-inch internal, hot-pluggable Ultra2 hard drives with the Ultra2 simplex
drive cage.
A maximum practical SCSI configuration, optimizing performance and storage,
would include the following:
■ One network interface controller (NIC)
■ Seven Smart Array Controllers
■ Fourteen Compaq ProLiant Storage Systems
■ One hundred and five 18-GB drives
This configuration would yield a total storage capacity of 1890 GB.

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:
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
2-3
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.
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 the National Electric Code (ANSI/NFPA 70, 1993) and
the code for Protection of Electronic Computer/Data Processing Equipment
(NFPA-75, 1992).
This product is also designed for IT power system with Phase to Phase voltage
230 V.
For electrical power ratings on options, refer to the product's rating label or user
documentation supplied with that option.

Grounding
For proper operation and safety, this equipment is required to be properly
grounded in accordance with NFPA 70-1993, Article 250. All power
distribution devices, branch wiring, and receptacles must be "Listed" grounding
type devices.
When using power strips for electrical distribution, ensure that ground integrity
is maintained for each connection made. Plug each component into a reliably
grounded outlet.
Server Temperature Requirements
To ensure continued safe and reliable operation of the equipment, 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). Therefore, the temperature in
the room where the rack is located should not exceed 35°C (95°F).

Installation Procedure
There are two installation procedures presented in the following paragraphs.
Each procedure is a summary of the steps you will follow to install your
Compaq ProLiant 3000 server. The procedure you will use depends on whether
you are installing a rack-mount model or a tower model server. Detailed
instructions for each of the numbered steps are included in later chapters of this
guide.
Installing a Rack-Mount Model
1. Select an appropriate site for your rack.
2. Make sure that stabilizer feet are installed on the rack.
3. Unpack the server.
4. Unpack the rack mounting hardware.
5. Install any hardware options in the server. See Chapter 4 and the options
kits for detailed instructions.
6. To make the server lighter and more manageable, do not install SCSI
drives in the server until after you load the server into the rack. You may
also lighten the server by removing the power supplies and reinstalling
them after you have mounted the server in the rack.
2-5
7. Set switches: processor board switches, system board switches, and
SCSI ID settings. Refer to the ProLiant 3000 Hardware Installation and
Configuration poster.
8. Attach rack mounting hardware to the rack and to the server. See
Chapter 3 for detailed instructions.
9. Slide the server into the rack. See Chapter 3.
10. Attach the cable management arm to the cable management arm bracket.
See Chapter 3.
11. Attach the optional cable support to the back of the rack. The cable
support is needed only if you are routing cables from one side of the
rack to the other. See Chapter 3.
