Customer self repair
Hewlett Packard Enterprise products are designed with many Customer Self Repair (CSR) parts to minimize
repair time and allow for greater flexibility in performing defective parts replacement. If during the diagnosis
period Hewlett Packard Enterprise (or Hewlett Packard Enterprise service providers or service partners)
identifies that the repair can be accomplished by the use of a CSR part, Hewlett Packard Enterprise will ship
that part directly to you for replacement. There are two categories of CSR parts:
•Mandatory—Parts for which customer self repair is mandatory. If you request Hewlett Packard Enterprise
to replace these parts, you will be charged for the travel and labor costs of this service.
•Optional—Parts for which customer self repair is optional. These parts are also designed for customer
self repair. If, however, you require that Hewlett Packard Enterprise replace them for you, there may or
may not be additional charges, depending on the type of warranty service designated for your product.
NOTE: Some Hewlett Packard Enterprise parts are not designed for customer self repair. In order to satisfy
the customer warranty, Hewlett Packard Enterprise requires that an authorized service provider replace the
part. These parts are identified as "No" in the Illustrated Parts Catalog.
Based on availability and where geography permits, CSR parts will be shipped for next business day delivery.
Same day or four-hour delivery may be offered at an additional charge where geography permits. If
assistance is required, you can call the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support Center and a technician will help
you over the telephone. Hewlett Packard Enterprise specifies in the materials shipped with a replacement
CSR part whether a defective part must be returned to Hewlett Packard Enterprise. In cases where it is
required to return the defective part to Hewlett Packard Enterprise, you must ship the defective part back to
Hewlett Packard Enterprise within a defined period of time, normally five (5) business days. The defective part
must be returned with the associated documentation in the provided shipping material. Failure to return the
defective part may result in Hewlett Packard Enterprise billing you for the replacement. With a customer self
repair, Hewlett Packard Enterprise will pay all shipping and part return costs and determine the courier/carrier
to be used.
For more information about the Hewlett Packard Enterprise CSR program, contact your local service provider.
For the North American program, go to the Hewlett Packard Enterprise CSR website.
Parts only warranty service
Your Hewlett Packard Enterprise Limited Warranty may include a parts only warranty service. Under the terms
of parts only warranty service, Hewlett Packard Enterprise will provide replacement parts free of charge.
For parts only warranty service, CSR part replacement is mandatory. If you request Hewlett Packard
Enterprise to replace these parts, you will be charged for the travel and labor costs of this service.
Réparation par le client (CSR)
Les produits Hewlett Packard Enterprise comportent de nombreuses pièces CSR (Customer Self Repair =
réparation par le client) afin de minimiser les délais de réparation et faciliter le remplacement des pièces
défectueuses. Si pendant la période de diagnostic, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (ou ses partenaires ou
mainteneurs agréés) détermine que la réparation peut être effectuée à l'aide d'une pièce CSR, Hewlett
Packard Enterprise vous l'envoie directement. Il existe deux catégories de pièces CSR :
•Obligatoire—Pièces pour lesquelles la réparation par le client est obligatoire. Si vous demandez à
Hewlett Packard Enterprise de remplacer ces pièces, les coûts de déplacement et main d'œuvre du
service vous seront facturés.
•Facultatif—Pièces pour lesquelles la réparation par le client est facultative. Ces pièces sont également
conçues pour permettre au client d'effectuer lui-même la réparation. Toutefois, si vous demandez à
18 Customer self repair
Page 19
Hewlett Packard Enterprise de remplacer ces pièces, l'intervention peut ou non vous être facturée, selon
le type de garantie applicable à votre produit.
REMARQUE: Certaines pièces Hewlett Packard Enterprise ne sont pas conçues pour permettre au client
d'effectuer lui-même la réparation. Pour que la garantie puisse s'appliquer, Hewlett Packard Enterprise exige
que le remplacement de la pièce soit effectué par un Mainteneur Agréé. Ces pièces sont identifiées par la
mention "Non" dans le Catalogue illustré.
Les pièces CSR sont livrées le jour ouvré suivant, dans la limite des stocks disponibles et selon votre
situation géographique. Si votre situation géographique le permet et que vous demandez une livraison le jour
même ou dans les 4 heures, celle-ci vous sera facturée. Pour toute assistance, appelez le Centre
d’assistance Hewlett Packard Enterprise pour qu’un technicien vous aide au téléphone Dans les documents
envoyés avec la pièce de rechange CSR, Hewlett Packard Enterprise précise s'il est nécessaire de lui
retourner la pièce défectueuse. Si c'est le cas, vous devez le faire dans le délai indiqué, généralement cinq
(5) jours ouvrés. La pièce et sa documentation doivent être retournées dans l'emballage fourni. Si vous ne
retournez pas la pièce défectueuse, Hewlett Packard Enterprise se réserve le droit de vous facturer les coûts
de remplacement. Dans le cas d'une pièce CSR, Hewlett Packard Enterprise supporte l'ensemble des frais
d'expédition et de retour, et détermine la société de courses ou le transporteur à utiliser.
Pour plus d'informations sur le programme CSR de Hewlett Packard Enterprise, contactez votre Mainteneur
Agrée local. Pour plus d'informations sur ce programme en Amérique du Nord, consultez le site Web Hewlett
Packard Enterprise.
Service de garantie "pièces seules"
Votre garantie limitée Hewlett Packard Enterprise peut inclure un service de garantie "pièces seules". Dans
ce cas, les pièces de rechange fournies par Hewlett Packard Enterprise ne sont pas facturées.
Dans le cadre de ce service, la réparation des pièces CSR par le client est obligatoire. Si vous demandez à
Hewlett Packard Enterprise de remplacer ces pièces, les coûts de déplacement et main d'œuvre du service
vous seront facturés.
Riparazione da parte del cliente
Per abbreviare i tempi di riparazione e garantire una maggiore flessibilità nella sostituzione di parti difettose, i
prodotti Hewlett Packard Enterprise sono realizzati con numerosi componenti che possono essere riparati
direttamente dal cliente (CSR, Customer Self Repair). Se in fase di diagnostica Hewlett Packard Enterprise (o
un centro di servizi o di assistenza Hewlett Packard Enterprise) identifica il guasto come riparabile mediante
un ricambio CSR, Hewlett Packard Enterprise lo spedirà direttamente al cliente per la sostituzione. Vi sono
due categorie di parti CSR:
•Obbligatorie—Parti che devono essere necessariamente riparate dal cliente. Se il cliente ne affida la
riparazione ad Hewlett Packard Enterprise, deve sostenere le spese di spedizione e di manodopera per il
servizio.
•Opzionali—Parti la cui riparazione da parte del cliente è facoltativa. Si tratta comunque di componenti
progettati per questo scopo. Se tuttavia il cliente ne richiede la sostituzione ad Hewlett Packard Enterprise,
potrebbe dover sostenere spese addizionali a seconda del tipo di garanzia previsto per il prodotto.
NOTA: alcuni componenti Hewlett Packard Enterprise non sono progettati per la riparazione da parte del
cliente. Per rispettare la garanzia, Hewlett Packard Enterprise richiede che queste parti siano sostituite da un
centro di assistenza autorizzato. Tali parti sono identificate da un "No" nel Catalogo illustrato dei componenti.
In base alla disponibilità e alla località geografica, le parti CSR vengono spedite con consegna entro il giorno
lavorativo seguente. La consegna nel giorno stesso o entro quattro ore è offerta con un supplemento di costo
solo in alcune zone. In caso di necessità si può richiedere l'assistenza telefonica di un addetto del centro di
supporto tecnico Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Nel materiale fornito con una parte di ricambio CSR, Hewlett
Packard Enterprise specifica se il cliente deve restituire dei component. Qualora sia richiesta la resa ad
Hewlett Packard Enterprise del componente difettoso, lo si deve spedire ad Hewlett Packard Enterprise entro
un determinato periodo di tempo, generalmente cinque (5) giorni lavorativi. Il componente difettoso deve
Customer self repair19
Page 20
essere restituito con la documentazione associata nell'imballo di spedizione fornito. La mancata restituzione
del componente può comportare la fatturazione del ricambio da parte di Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Nel caso
di riparazione da parte del cliente, Hewlett Packard Enterprise sostiene tutte le spese di spedizione e resa e
sceglie il corriere/vettore da utilizzare.
Per ulteriori informazioni sul programma CSR di Hewlett Packard Enterprise, contattare il centro di assistenza
di zona. Per il programma in Nord America fare riferimento al sito Web.
Servizio di garanzia per i soli componenti
La garanzia limitata Hewlett Packard Enterprise può includere un servizio di garanzia per i soli componenti.
Nei termini di garanzia del servizio per i soli componenti, Hewlett Packard Enterprise fornirà gratuitamente le
parti di ricambio.
Per il servizio di garanzia per i soli componenti è obbligatoria la formula CSR che prevede la riparazione da
parte del cliente. Se il cliente invece richiede la sostituzione ad Hewlett Packard Enterprise dovrà sostenere le
spese di spedizione e di manodopera per il servizio.
Customer Self Repair
Hewlett Packard Enterprise Produkte enthalten viele CSR-Teile (Customer Self Repair), um Reparaturzeiten
zu minimieren und höhere Flexibilität beim Austausch defekter Bauteile zu ermöglichen. Wenn Hewlett
Packard Enterprise (oder ein Hewlett Packard Enterprise Servicepartner) bei der Diagnose feststellt, dass das
Produkt mithilfe eines CSR-Teils repariert werden kann, sendet Ihnen Hewlett Packard Enterprise dieses
Bauteil zum Austausch direkt zu. CSR-Teile werden in zwei Kategorien unterteilt:
•Zwingend—Teile, für die das Customer Self Repair-Verfahren zwingend vorgegeben ist. Wenn Sie den
Austausch dieser Teile von Hewlett Packard Enterprise vornehmen lassen, werden Ihnen die Anfahrt- und
Arbeitskosten für diesen Service berechnet.
•Optional—Teile, für die das Customer Self Repair-Verfahren optional ist. Diese Teile sind auch für
Customer Self Repair ausgelegt. Wenn Sie jedoch den Austausch dieser Teile von Hewlett Packard
Enterprise vornehmen lassen möchten, können bei diesem Service je nach den für Ihr Produkt
vorgesehenen Garantiebedingungen zusätzliche Kosten anfallen.
HINWEIS: Einige Hewlett Packard Enterprise Teile sind nicht für Customer Self Repair ausgelegt. Um den
Garantieanspruch des Kunden zu erfüllen, muss das Teil von einem Hewlett Packard Enterprise
Servicepartner ersetzt werden. Im illustrierten Teilekatalog sind diese Teile mit „No“ bzw.
„Nein“ gekennzeichnet.
CSR-Teile werden abhängig von der Verfügbarkeit und vom Lieferziel am folgenden Geschäftstag geliefert.
Für bestimmte Standorte ist eine Lieferung am selben Tag oder innerhalb von vier Stunden gegen einen
Aufpreis verfügbar. Wenn Sie Hilfe benötigen, können Sie das Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support Center
anrufen und sich von einem Mitarbeiter per Telefon helfen lassen. Den Materialien von Hewlett Packard
Enterprise, die mit einem CSR-Ersatzteil geliefert werden, können Sie entnehmen, ob das defekte Teil an
Hewlett Packard Enterprise zurückgeschickt werden muss. Wenn es erforderlich ist, das defekte Teil an
Hewlett Packard Enterprise zurückzuschicken, müssen Sie dies innerhalb eines vorgegebenen Zeitraums tun,
in der Regel innerhalb von fünf (5) Geschäftstagen. Das defekte Teil muss mit der zugehörigen
Dokumentation in der Verpackung zurückgeschickt werden, die im Lieferumfang enthalten ist. Wenn Sie das
defekte Teil nicht zurückschicken, kann Hewlett Packard Enterprise Ihnen das Ersatzteil in Rechnung stellen.
Im Falle von Customer Self Repair kommt Hewlett Packard Enterprise für alle Kosten für die Lieferung und
Rücksendung auf und bestimmt den Kurier-/Frachtdienst.
Weitere Informationen über das Hewlett Packard Enterprise Customer Self Repair Programm erhalten Sie
von Ihrem Servicepartner vor Ort. Informationen über das CSR-Programm in Nordamerika finden Sie auf der
Hewlett Packard Enterprise Website unter.

Parts-only Warranty Service (Garantieservice ausschließlich für Teile)
Ihre Hewlett Packard Enterprise Garantie umfasst möglicherweise einen Parts-only Warranty Service
(Garantieservice ausschließlich für Teile). Gemäß den Bestimmungen des Parts-only Warranty Service stellt
Hewlett Packard Enterprise Ersatzteile kostenlos zur Verfügung.
Für den Parts-only Warranty Service ist das CSR-Verfahren zwingend vorgegeben. Wenn Sie den Austausch
dieser Teile von Hewlett Packard Enterprise vornehmen lassen, werden Ihnen die Anfahrt- und Arbeitskosten
für diesen Service berechnet.
Reparaciones del propio cliente
Los productos de Hewlett Packard Enterprise incluyen muchos componentes que el propio usuario puede
reemplazar (Customer Self Repair, CSR) para minimizar el tiempo de reparación y ofrecer una mayor
flexibilidad a la hora de realizar sustituciones de componentes defectuosos. Si, durante la fase de
diagnóstico, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (o los proveedores o socios de servicio de Hewlett Packard
Enterprise) identifica que una reparación puede llevarse a cabo mediante el uso de un componente CSR,
Hewlett Packard Enterprise le enviará dicho componente directamente para que realice su sustitución. Los
componentes CSR se clasifican en dos categorías:
•Obligatorio—Componentes cuya reparación por parte del usuario es obligatoria. Si solicita a Hewlett
Packard Enterprise que realice la sustitución de estos componentes, tendrá que hacerse cargo de los
gastos de desplazamiento y de mano de obra de dicho servicio.
•Opcional—Componentes cuya reparación por parte del usuario es opcional. Estos componentes también
están diseñados para que puedan ser reparados por el usuario. Sin embargo, si precisa que Hewlett
Packard Enterprise realice su sustitución, puede o no conllevar costes adicionales, dependiendo del tipo
de servicio de garantía correspondiente al producto.
NOTA: Algunos componentes de Hewlett Packard Enterprise no están diseñados para que puedan ser
reparados por el usuario. Para que el usuario haga valer su garantía, Hewlett Packard Enterprise pone como
condición que un proveedor de servicios autorizado realice la sustitución de estos componentes. Dichos
componentes se identifican con la palabra "No" en el catálogo ilustrado de componentes.
Según la disponibilidad y la situación geográfica, los componentes CSR se enviarán para que lleguen a su
destino al siguiente día laborable. Si la situación geográfica lo permite, se puede solicitar la entrega en el
mismo día o en cuatro horas con un coste adicional. Si precisa asistencia técnica, puede llamar al Centro de
asistencia técnica de Hewlett Packard Enterprise y recibirá ayuda telefónica por parte de un técnico. Con el
envío de materiales para la sustitución de componentes CSR, Hewlett Packard Enterprise especificará si los
componentes defectuosos deberán devolverse a Hewlett Packard Enterprise. En aquellos casos en los que
sea necesario devolver algún componente a Hewlett Packard Enterprise, deberá hacerlo en el periodo de
tiempo especificado, normalmente cinco días laborables. Los componentes defectuosos deberán devolverse
con toda la documentación relacionada y con el embalaje de envío. Si no enviara el componente defectuoso
requerido, Hewlett Packard Enterprise podrá cobrarle por el de sustitución. En el caso de todas sustituciones
que lleve a cabo el cliente, Hewlett Packard Enterprise se hará cargo de todos los gastos de envío y
devolución de componentes y escogerá la empresa de transporte que se utilice para dicho servicio.
Para obtener más información acerca del programa de Reparaciones del propio cliente de Hewlett Packard
Enterprise, póngase en contacto con su proveedor de servicios local. Si está interesado en el programa para
Norteamérica, visite la página web de Hewlett Packard Enterprise CSR.
Servicio de garantía exclusivo de componentes
La garantía limitada de Hewlett Packard Enterprise puede que incluya un servicio de garantía exclusivo de
componentes. Según las condiciones de este servicio exclusivo de componentes, Hewlett Packard Enterprise
le facilitará los componentes de repuesto sin cargo adicional alguno.
Para este servicio de garantía exclusivo de componentes, es obligatoria la sustitución de componentes por
parte del usuario (CSR). Si solicita a Hewlett Packard Enterprise que realice la sustitución de estos
Customer self repair21

componentes, tendrá que hacerse cargo de los gastos de desplazamiento y de mano de obra de dicho
servicio.
Customer Self Repair
Veel onderdelen in Hewlett Packard Enterprise producten zijn door de klant zelf te repareren, waardoor de
reparatieduur tot een minimum beperkt kan blijven en de flexibiliteit in het vervangen van defecte onderdelen
groter is. Deze onderdelen worden CSR-onderdelen (Customer Self Repair) genoemd. Als Hewlett Packard
Enterprise (of een Hewlett Packard Enterprise Service Partner) bij de diagnose vaststelt dat de reparatie kan
worden uitgevoerd met een CSR-onderdeel, verzendt Hewlett Packard Enterprise dat onderdeel rechtstreeks
naar u, zodat u het defecte onderdeel daarmee kunt vervangen. Er zijn twee categorieën CSR-onderdelen:
•Verplicht—Onderdelen waarvoor reparatie door de klant verplicht is. Als u Hewlett Packard Enterprise
verzoekt deze onderdelen voor u te vervangen, worden u voor deze service reiskosten en arbeidsloon in
rekening gebracht.
•Optioneel—Onderdelen waarvoor reparatie door de klant optioneel is. Ook deze onderdelen zijn
ontworpen voor reparatie door de klant. Als u echter Hewlett Packard Enterprise verzoekt deze
onderdelen voor u te vervangen, kunnen daarvoor extra kosten in rekening worden gebracht, afhankelijk
van het type garantieservice voor het product.
OPMERKING: Sommige Hewlett Packard Enterprise onderdelen zijn niet ontwikkeld voor reparatie door de
klant. In verband met de garantievoorwaarden moet het onderdeel door een geautoriseerde Service Partner
worden vervangen. Deze onderdelen worden in de geïllustreerde onderdelencatalogus aangemerkt met
"Nee".
Afhankelijk van de leverbaarheid en de locatie worden CSR-onderdelen verzonden voor levering op de
eerstvolgende werkdag. Levering op dezelfde dag of binnen vier uur kan tegen meerkosten worden
aangeboden, indien dit mogelijk is gezien de locatie. Indien assistentie is gewenst, belt u het Hewlett Packard
Enterprise Support Center om via de telefoon ondersteuning van een technicus te ontvangen. Hewlett
Packard Enterprise vermeldt in de documentatie bij het vervangende CSR-onderdeel of het defecte onderdeel
aan Hewlett Packard Enterprise moet worden geretourneerd. Als het defecte onderdeel aan Hewlett Packard
Enterprise moet worden teruggezonden, moet u het defecte onderdeel binnen een bepaalde periode,
gewoonlijk vijf (5) werkdagen, retourneren aan Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Het defecte onderdeel moet met
de bijbehorende documentatie worden geretourneerd in het meegeleverde verpakkingsmateriaal. Als u het
defecte onderdeel niet terugzendt, kan Hewlett Packard Enterprise u voor het vervangende onderdeel kosten
in rekening brengen. Bij reparatie door de klant betaalt Hewlett Packard Enterprise alle verzendkosten voor
het vervangende en geretourneerde onderdeel en kiest Hewlett Packard Enterprise zelf welke koerier/
transportonderneming hiervoor wordt gebruikt.
Neem contact op met een Service Partner voor meer informatie over het Customer Self Repair programma
van Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Informatie over Service Partners vindt u op de Hewlett Packard Enterprise
website.
Garantieservice "Parts Only"
Het is mogelijk dat de Hewlett Packard Enterprise garantie alleen de garantieservice "Parts Only" omvat.
Volgens de bepalingen van de Parts Only garantieservice zal Hewlett Packard Enterprise kosteloos
vervangende onderdelen ter beschikking stellen.
Voor de Parts Only garantieservice is vervanging door CSR-onderdelen verplicht. Als u Hewlett Packard
Enterprise verzoekt deze onderdelen voor u te vervangen, worden u voor deze service reiskosten en
arbeidsloon in rekening gebracht
Reparo feito pelo cliente
Os produtos da Hewlett Packard Enterprise são projetados com muitas peças para reparo feito pelo cliente
(CSR) de modo a minimizar o tempo de reparo e permitir maior flexibilidade na substituição de peças com
defeito. Se, durante o período de diagnóstico, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise (ou fornecedores/parceiros da
22Customer self repair
Page 23
Hewlett Packard Enterprise) concluir que o reparo pode ser efetuado pelo uso de uma peça CSR, a Hewlett
Packard Enterprise enviará a peça diretamente ao cliente. Há duas categorias de peças CSR:
•Obrigatória—Peças cujo reparo feito pelo cliente é obrigatório. Se desejar que a Hewlett Packard
Enterprise substitua essas peças, serão cobradas as despesas de transporte e mão-de-obra do serviço.
•Opcional—Peças cujo reparo feito pelo cliente é opcional. Essas peças também são projetadas para o
reparo feito pelo cliente. No entanto, se desejar que a Hewlett Packard Enterprise as substitua, pode
haver ou não a cobrança de taxa adicional, dependendo do tipo de serviço de garantia destinado ao
produto.
OBSERVAÇÃO: Algumas peças da Hewlett Packard Enterprise não são projetadas para o reparo feito pelo
cliente. A fim de cumprir a garantia do cliente, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise exige que um técnico autorizado
substitua a peça. Essas peças estão identificadas com a marca "No" (Não), no catálogo de peças ilustrado.
Conforme a disponibilidade e o local geográfico, as peças CSR serão enviadas no primeiro dia útil após o
pedido. Onde as condições geográficas permitirem, a entrega no mesmo dia ou em quatro horas pode ser
feita mediante uma taxa adicional. Se precisar de auxílio, entre em contato com o Centro de suporte técnico
da Hewlett Packard Enterprise para que um técnico o ajude por telefone. A Hewlett Packard Enterprise
especifica nos materiais fornecidos com a peça CSR de reposição se a peça com defeito deve ser devolvida
à Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Nos casos em que isso for necessário, é preciso enviar a peça com defeito à
Hewlett Packard Enterprise, você deverá enviar a peça com defeito de volta para a Hewlett Packard
Enterprise dentro do período de tempo definido, normalmente em 5 (cinco) dias úteis. A peça com defeito
deve ser enviada com a documentação correspondente no material de transporte fornecido. Caso não o faça,
a Hewlett Packard Enterprise poderá cobrar a reposição. Para as peças de reparo feito pelo cliente, a
Hewlett Packard Enterprise paga todas as despesas de transporte e de devolução da peça e determina a
transportadora/serviço postal a ser utilizado.
Para obter mais informações sobre o programa de reparo feito pelo cliente da Hewlett Packard Enterprise,
entre em contato com o fornecedor de serviços local. Para o programa norte-americano, visite o site da
Hewlett Packard Enterprise.
Serviço de garantia apenas para peças
A garantia limitada da Hewlett Packard Enterprise pode incluir um serviço de garantia apenas para peças.
Segundo os termos do serviço de garantia apenas para peças, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise fornece as
peças de reposição sem cobrar nenhuma taxa.
No caso desse serviço, a substituição de peças CSR é obrigatória. Se desejar que a Hewlett Packard
Enterprise substitua essas peças, serão cobradas as despesas de transporte e mão-de-obra do serviço.

Removal and replacement procedures
Required tools
The following tools might be required to perform some procedures:
•T-15 Torx screwdriver
•No. 1 Phillips screwdriver
Safety considerations
Before performing service procedures, review all the safety information.
Preventing electrostatic discharge
To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you must follow when setting up the system or
handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or
other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device.
Procedure
•Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.
•Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.
•Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.
•Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
•Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.
Server blade warnings and cautions
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of shock or injury from high-current electrical energy, do not remove the server blade
access panel and then install the server blade into the enclosure.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the internal system
components to cool before touching them.
CAUTION:
Do not operate the server blade with the access panel removed. Operating the server blade in this
manner results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.
CAUTION:
When performing non-hot-plug operations, you must power down the server blade and/or the system.
However, it may be necessary to leave the server blade powered up when performing other operations,
such as hot-plug installations or troubleshooting.

Server blade preparation
To service any internal server blade component, power down the server blade and remove it from the
enclosure.
Power up the server blade
The OA initiates an automatic power-up sequence when the server blade is installed. If the default setting is
changed, use one of the following methods to power up the server blade:
•Use a virtual power button selection through iLO.
•Press and release the Power On/Standby button.
Symbols on equipment29
Page 30
When the server blade goes from the standby mode to the full power mode, the system power LED changes
from amber to solid green. The health LED flashes green when the Power On/Standby Button service is being
initialized. For more information about the system power LED status, see Front panel LEDs and buttons on
page 87.
For more information about the OA, see the OA setup and installation guide on the Hewlett Packard
Enterprise website.
Power down the server blade
Procedure
•Press and release the Power On/Standby button.
This method initiates a controlled shutdown of applications and the OS before the server blade enters
standby mode.
•Press and hold the Power On/Standby button for more than 4 seconds to force the server blade to enter
standby mode.
This method forces the server blade to enter standby mode without properly exiting applications and the
OS. If an application stops responding, you can use this method to force a shutdown.
•Use a virtual power button selection through iLO.
This method initiates a controlled remote shutdown of applications and the OS before the server blade
enters standby mode.
•Use the OA CLI to execute one of the following commands:
◦poweroff server [bay number]
This command initiates a controlled shutdown of applications and the OS before the server blade
enters standby mode.
◦poweroff server [bay number] force
This form of the command forces the server blade to enter standby mode without properly exiting
applications and the OS. If an application stops responding, this method forces a shutdown.
•Use the OA GUI to initiate a shutdown:
1. Select the Enclosure Information tab.
2. In the Device Bays item, select the server.
3. From the Virtual Power menu, initiate a shutdown of applications and the OS:
◦For a controlled shutdown, select Momentary Press.
◦For an emergency shutdown, select Press and Hold.
Before proceeding, verify that the server blade is in standby mode by observing that the system power LED is
amber.

DIMM and NVDIMM population information
For specific DIMM and NVDIMM population information, see the DIMM population guidelines on the Hewlett
Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/docs/memory-population-rules).
NVDIMM sanitization
Media sanitization is defined by NIST SP800-88 Guidelines for Media Sanitization (Rev 1, Dec 2014) as "a
general term referring to the actions taken to render data written on media unrecoverable by both ordinary
and extraordinary means."
The specification defines the following levels:
48 DIMM and NVDIMM population information
Page 49
•Clear: Overwrite user-addressable storage space using standard write commands; might not sanitize data
in areas not currently user-addressable (such as bad blocks and overprovisioned areas)
•Purge: Overwrite or erase all storage space that might have been used to store data using dedicated
device sanitize commands, such that data retrieval is "infeasible using state-of-the-art laboratory
techniques"
•Destroy: Ensure that data retrieval is "infeasible using state-of-the-art laboratory techniques" and render
the media unable to store data (such as disintegrate, pulverize, melt, incinerate, or shred)
The NVDIMM-N Sanitize options are intended to meet the Purge level.
For more information on sanitization for NVDIMMs, see the following sections in the HPE 16GB NVDIMMUser Guide on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/info/nvdimm-docs):
•NVDIMM sanitization policies
•NVDIMM sanitization guidelines
•Setting the NVDIMM-N Sanitize/Erase on the Next Reboot Policy
NIST SP800-88 Guidelines for Media Sanitization (Rev 1, Dec 2014) is available for download from the NIST
website (http://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/SpecialPublications/NIST.SP.800-88r1.pdf).
NVDIMM relocation guidelines
Requirements for relocating NVDIMMs or a set of NVDIMMs when the data must be preserved
•The destination server blade hardware must match the original server blade hardware configuration.
•All System Utilities settings in the destination server blade must match the original System Utilities settings
in the original server blade.
•If NVDIMM-Ns are used with NVDIMM Interleaving ON mode in the original server blade, do the following:
◦Install the NVDIMMs in the same DIMM slots in the destination server blade.
◦Install the entire NVDIMM set (all the NVDIMM-Ns on the processor) on the destination server blade.
This guideline would apply when replacing a system board due to system failure.
If any of the requirements cannot be met during NVDIMM relocation, do the following:
◦Manually back up the NVDIMM-N data before relocating NVDIMM-Ns to another server blade.
◦Relocate the NVDIMM-Ns to another server blade.
◦Sanitize all NVDIMM-Ns on the new server blade before using them.

The UEFI System Utilities is embedded in the system ROM. Its features enable you to perform a wide range
of configuration activities, including:
•Configuring system devices and installed options.
•Enabling and disabling system features.
•Displaying system information.
•Selecting the primary boot controller or partition.
•Configuring memory options.
•Launching other preboot environments.
HPE servers with UEFI can provide:
http://www.hpe.com/info/qs).
•Support for boot partitions larger than 2.2 TB. Such configurations could previously only be used for boot
drives when using RAID solutions.
•Secure Boot that enables the system firmware, option card firmware, operating systems, and software
collaborate to enhance platform security.
•UEFI Graphical User Interface (GUI)
•An Embedded UEFI Shell that provides a preboot environment for running scripts and tools.
•Boot support for option cards that only support a UEFI option ROM.
Selecting the boot mode
This server provides two Boot Mode configurations: UEFI Mode and Legacy BIOS Mode. Certain boot
options require that you select a specific boot mode. By default, the boot mode is set to UEFI Mode. The
system must boot in UEFI Mode to use certain options, including:
•Secure Boot, UEFI Optimized Boot, Generic USB Boot, IPv6 PXE Boot, iSCSI Boot, and Boot from URL
•Fibre Channel/FCoE Scan Policy
NOTE:
The boot mode you use must match the operating system installation. If not, changing the boot mode can
impact the ability of the server to boot to the installed operating system.
Prerequisite
When booting to UEFI Mode, leave UEFI Optimized Boot enabled.
Diagnostic tools81
Page 82
Procedure
1. From the System Utilities screen, select System Configuration > BIOS/Platform Configuration
(RBSU) > Boot Options > Boot Mode.

compatibility mode.
3. Save your setting.
4. Reboot the server.
Secure Boot
Secure Boot is a server security feature that is implemented in the BIOS and does not require special
hardware. Secure Boot ensures that each component launched during the boot process is digitally signed and
that the signature is validated against a set of trusted certificates embedded in the UEFI BIOS. Secure Boot
validates the software identity of the following components in the boot process:
•UEFI drivers loaded from PCIe cards
•UEFI drivers loaded from mass storage devices
•Preboot UEFI Shell applications
•OS UEFI boot loaders
When Secure Boot is enabled:
•Firmware components and operating systems with boot loaders must have an appropriate digital signature
to execute during the boot process.
•Operating systems must support Secure Boot and have an EFI boot loader signed with one of the
authorized keys to boot. For more information about supported operating systems, see http://www.hpe.com/servers/ossupport.
You can customize the certificates embedded in the UEFI BIOS by adding or removing your own certificates,
either from a management console directly attached to the server, or by remotely connecting to the server
using the iLO Remote Console.
You can configure Secure Boot:
•Using the System Utilities options described in the following sections.
•Using the iLO RESTful API to clear and restore certificates. For more information, see the Hewlett Packard
Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/info/redfish).
•Using the secboot command in the Embedded UEFI Shell to display Secure Boot databases, keys, and
security reports.
Launching the Embedded UEFI Shell
Use the Embedded UEFI Shell option to launch the Embedded UEFI Shell. The Embedded UEFI Shell is a
preboot command-line environment for scripting and running UEFI applications, including UEFI boot loaders.
82 Secure Boot
Page 83
The Shell also provides CLI-based commands you can use to obtain system information, and to configure and
update the system BIOS.
Prerequisites
Embedded UEFI Shell is set to Enabled.
Procedure
1. From the System Utilities screen, select Embedded Applications > Embedded UEFI Shell.
The Embedded UEFI Shell screen appears.
2. Press any key to acknowledge that you are physically present.
This step ensures that certain features, such as disabling Secure Boot or managing the Secure Boot
certificates using third-party UEFI tools, are not restricted.
3. If an administrator password is set, enter it at the prompt and press Enter.
The Shell> prompt appears.
4. Enter the commands required to complete your task.
5. Enter the exit command to exit the Shell.
Intelligent Provisioning
Intelligent Provisioning is a single-server deployment tool embedded in ProLiant servers and HPE Synergy
compute modules. Intelligent Provisioning simplifies server setup, providing a reliable and consistent way to
deploy servers.
Intelligent Provisioning prepares the system for installing original, licensed vendor media and Hewlett Packard
Enterprise-branded versions of OS software. Intelligent Provisioning also prepares the system to integrate
optimized server support software from the Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP). SPP is a comprehensive
systems software and firmware solution for ProLiant servers, server blades, their enclosures, and HPE
Synergy compute modules. These components are preloaded with a basic set of firmware and OS
components that are installed along with Intelligent Provisioning.
IMPORTANT:
HPE ProLiant XL servers do not support operating system installation with Intelligent Provisioning, but
they do support the maintenance features. For more information, see "Performing Maintenance" in the
Intelligent Provisioning User Guide and online help.
After the server is running, you can update the firmware to install additional components. You can also update
any components that have been outdated since the server was manufactured.
To access Intelligent Provisioning:
•Press F10 from the POST screen.
•From the iLO web browser user interface using Always On. Always On allows you to access Intelligent
Provisioning without rebooting your server.

HPE Smart Storage Administrator
HPE SSA is the main tool for configuring arrays on HPE Smart Array SR controllers. It exists in three interface
formats: the HPE SSA GUI, the HPE SSA CLI, and HPE SSA Scripting. All formats provide support for
configuration tasks. Some of the advanced tasks are available in only one format.
The diagnostic features in HPE SSA are also available in the standalone software HPE Smart Storage
Administrator Diagnostics Utility CLI.
During the initial provisioning of the server or compute module, an array is required to be configured before
the operating system can be installed. You can configure the array using SSA.
HPE SSA is accessible both offline (either through HPE Intelligent Provisioning or as a standalone bootable
ISO image) and online:
•Accessing HPE SSA in the offline environment
IMPORTANT:
If you are updating an existing server blade in an offline environment, obtain the latest version of
HPE SSA through Service Pack for ProLiant before performing configuration procedures.
Using one of multiple methods, you can run HPE SSA before launching the host operating system. In
offline mode, users can configure or maintain detected and supported devices, such as optional Smart
Array controllers and integrated Smart Array controllers. Some HPE SSA features are only available in the
offline environment, such as setting the boot controller and boot volume.
•Accessing HPE SSA in the online environment
This method requires an administrator to download the HPE SSA executables and install them. You can
run HPE SSA online after launching the host operating system.

DIMM slot locations
DIMM slots are numbered sequentially (1 through 8) for each processor and designate the DIMM slot ID for
population rules and spare replacement.
For specific DIMM population information, see the DIMM population guidelines on the Hewlett Packard
Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/docs/memory-population-rules).
DIMM label identification
To determine DIMM characteristics, see the label attached to the DIMM. The information in this section helps
you to use the label to locate specific information about the DIMM.
