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.

Rack Warnings and Precautions
Before beginning these procedures, make sure you understand the following
warnings and caution.
3-3
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to
the equipment, at least two people are needed to safely unload
the rack from the pallet. An empty 42U rack weighs 253 LB (115
kg), is over seven ft (2.1m) tall, and may become unstable when
being moved on its casters. Do not stand in front of the rack as it
rolls down the ramp from the pallet, but handle it from the sides.
WARNING:
Because the rack allows you to stack computer
components on a vertical rather than a horizontal plane, you must
take precautions to provide for rack stability and safety. It is
important that you follow these basic instructions to protect both
personnel and property, and that you heed all cautions and
warnings throughout the installation instructions.
WARNING:
Always load the heaviest item first and always load
the rack from the bottom up. This will make the rack "bottomheavy" and help prevent the rack from becoming unstable. See
"Rules for the Rack Builder" on the Compaq Installing Rack
Products CD for the rules that govern the vertical placement of
rack-mounted components.
WARNING:
A rack may become unstable if more than one
component is extended for any reason. To reduce the risk of
personal injury, always ensure that the rack is adequately
stabilized before extending a component outside the rack, and
extend only one component at a time.

Airflow Requirements
Compaq ProLiant rack-mountable servers draw cool air in through the front
door and exhaust warm air out the rear door of the server. Therefore, the front
door of the rack 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. Do not block the ventilation apertures.
CAUTION:
If a third-party rack is used, the following minimum
requirements should be observed to ensure adequate airflow and
to prevent damage to the equipment:
Front: The front must have a minimum of 25 inches of
unrestricted ventilation.
Side: The clearance between the installed module and the side
panels of the rack should be a minimum of 2.75 inches.
Rear: The clearance between the back of the rack and the wall
should be a minimum of 30 inches. The equipment should
be operating without a rear door.
: If all of the vertical space in the rack is not filled by components, the
NOTE
gaps that are left cause a change in airflow through the rack and across the
components. These gaps should be covered with blanking panels.

mark the positioning in the front of the rack for the cage nuts. These are
two slots marked "C" on the template. The cage nuts will hold the
thumbscrews through the server's face plate.
Be sure to follow the alignment instructions on the template, and keep the sides
of the template squared with the sides of the rack. Tick marks on the rack’s
vertical rails will help you maintain the proper alignment.

completely disconnect power from the system.
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 (earthed) electrical
■
outlet that is easily accessible at all times.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot
surfaces, allow the internal system components to cool before
touching.

IMPORTANT:
The system power in the ProLiant 3000 server does not
completely shut off with the front panel Power On/Standby switch. The two
positions of the switch function as ON and STANDBY, rather than ON and
OFF. 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 completely 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.
: After you move the Power On/Standby switch to the Standby position,
NOTE
it may take the operating system up to 30 seconds before shutting down the
power.
WARNING:
Before removing the server top panel, make sure
that the server is turned off and that the power cord is
disconnected from the electrical outlet.
4. Disconnect any other external equipment connected to the computer.
5. Loosen the top thumbscrew on the front of the unit using a T15 Torx
driver. See Figure 4-1.

Configuring the Server with SmartStart
SmartStart is the intelligent way to configure the server and to load the system
software, there by achieving a well-integrated server are ensuring maximum
dependability and supportability. The SmartStart and Support Software CD
holds the Compaq System Configuration Utility and ROMPaq. To use the
SmartStart and Support Software CD, refer to the Server Setup and
Management Pack included in the shipping box.
To install the Compaq SmartStart and Software Support CD:
1. Turn on the computer.

Using the System Configuration Utility
The Compaq System Configuration Utility performs a wide range of
configuration activities, including:
■ Automatically configuring PCI and ISA Plug and Play boards
■ Providing switch and jumper settings
■ Resolving resource conflicts in areas such as memory, port addresses,
and interrupt requests (IRQ)
■ Managing the installation of mass storage devices such as hard drives,
tape drives, and diskette drives
■ Setting and storing power-on features like date and time
■ Storing configuration information in nonvolatile memory
■ Assisting in installing an operating system
■ Assisting in running diagnostic tools such as Test and Inspect Utilities
The first time the server is configured, the SmartStart program automatically
creates a system partition and installs the System Configuration Utility and
other Compaq utilities in that partition.
5-3
IMPORTANT:
This Compaq system utilities partition should not be
confused with the partition(s) created by your operating system.
In Compaq ProLiant 3000 servers, the system ROM automatically configures
memory and processor changes.
The System Configuration Utility uses option configuration (.CFG) files to set
up and configure the computer. The .CFG files provide information such as
switch settings, IRQs, and software installation guidelines. The .CFG files for
Compaq computers are located on the System Configuration diskettes and
SmartStart and Support Software CD (SmartStart CD).

For PCI boards, the utility reads the configuration options from the PCI board's
configuration space from a PCI configuration file (.PCF).
■ Compaq Option Configuration Files diskette
■ Non-Compaq Option Configuration Files diskette
■ SmartStart and Support Software CD
The .CFG file provides board resource requirements and switch and jumper
setting alternatives. Although ISA boards do not have the automatic
configuration capabilities of PCI boards, the System Configuration Utility can
allocate system resources to these boards and provide instructions for setting
switches and jumpers.
Resolving Resource Conflicts
If you add a PCI expansion board later, the system detects this change when
you turn on the computer. The system ROM reads the PCI board identifier and
compares it with the current configuration information stored in nonvolatile
memory. The system ROM automatically configures PCI boards. If a user
selection is required, a POST message directs you to run the System
Configuration Utility. Additionally, you may change the default automatic
settings by running the System Configuration Utility.
The System Configuration Utility reads the option configuration .CFG files to
determine any resource conflicts, such as two devices requiring the same
hardware interrupt. If the system identifies a conflict, the software then
rechecks all the expansion board specifications to determine if settings for a
previously read board can be changed to automatically resolve the conflict
between the two boards.
