Battery Notices

WARNING This product may contain sealed, lead acid batteries. Replace

only with the same type and part number. Recycle used batteries or send them to the following address for disposal:

Hewlett Packard Co. Environmental Health and Safety Department 8000 Foothills Boulevard Roseville, Ca. 95678 ATTN: Battery Disposal Coordinator.

WARNING Fire, explosion, and severe burn hazard! Do not crush,

disassemble, heat, incinerate, or expose the batteries to water.

IT Power System

WARNING This product has not been evaluated for connection to an IT

power system (an AC distribution system having no direct connection to earth according to IEC 950).

High Leakage Current

WARNING To reduce the risk of electric shock, never operate the product

with the ground conductor disconnected. An earth connection is essential before connecting the supply. Reliable ground circuit continuity is vital for safe operation of this product.

Preface-5

Installation Conditions (U.S.)

WARNING Please note the following conditions of installation:

An insulated earthing conductor that is identical in size, insulation material, and thickness to the earthed and unearthed branch-circuit supply conductors except that it is green with or without one or more yellow stripes is to be installed as part of the branch circuit that supplies the unit or system. The earthing conductor described is to be connected to earth at the service equipment or, if supplied by a separately derived system, at the supply transformer or motor-generator set.

The attachment-plug receptacles in the vicinity of the unit or system are all to be of an earthing type, and the earthing conductors serving these receptacles are to be connected to earth at the service equipment.

Introduction

Safety and Environment Considerations

Before proceeding with any installation, maintenance, or service on a system which requires physical contact with electrical or electronic components, be sure that either power is removed or safety precautions are followed to protect against electric shock and equipment damage. Observe all "WARNING" and "CAUTION" labels on equipment. All installation and service work must be done by qualiﬁed personnel.

Communications Interference

Hewlett-Packard system compliance tests are conducted with Hewlett-Packard supported peripheral devices and shielded cables, such as those received with the system. The system meets interference requirements of all countries in which it is sold. These requirements provide reasonable protection against interference with radio and television communications.

Installing and using the system in strict accordance with Hewlett-Packard's instructions minimizes the chances that the system will cause radio or television interference. However, Hewlett-Packard does not guarantee that the system will not interfere with radio and television reception.

Take these precautions:

■ Use only shielded cables.

■ Install and route the cables per the instructions provided.

■ Ensure that all cable connector screws are ﬁrmly tightened.

■ Use only Hewlett-Packard supported peripheral devices.

■ Ensure that all panels and cover plates are in place and secure before system operation.

Electrostatic Discharge

Hewlett-Packard systems and peripherals contain assemblies and components that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Carefully observe the precautions and recommended procedures in this manual to prevent component damage from static electricity.

Take these precautions:

■ Always wear a grounded wrist strap when working on or around the system.

■ Treat all assemblies, components and interface connections as static-sensitive.

■ When unpacking cards, interfaces, and other accessories that are packaged separately

from the system, keep the accessories in their conductive plastic bags until they are ready to be installed.

1-6 Chapter 1

Introduction

Safety and Environment Considerations

■ Before removing or replacing any components or installing any accessories in the system, select a work area where potential static sources are minimized (preferably an anti-static work station).

■ Avoid working in carpeted areas, and keep body movement to a minimum while installing accessories.

Installation Environment

A special installation environment is not required as long as ESD considerations are observed.

Introduction

Orientation

This section is a brief orientation to the SPU for 99x/T-Class Systems.

SPU Cabinet

The basic system consists of one SPU cabinet, as shown in Figure 1-1. At the middle right of the cabinet is a cabinet door lock. To open the cabinet door, you insert a hexagonal cabinet key into this lock and turn it counter-clockwise. The cabinet key is included with the computer.

Additional cabinets (called expansion cabinets) are shipped separately. Refer to the Expansion Cabinet Installation Guide (HP P/N A1809-90006) for information about installing peripherals in the expansion cabinets.

Introduction

Orientation

SPU Cabinet Internal Layout

The SPU cabinet contains the processor cards, memory cards, bus converter cards, I/O cards, the power supply system, and the cooling fan assembly (see Figure 1-2 and Figure 1-3).

■ At the top front of the cabinet is the control panel, with various switches and indicators.

■ The top half of the cabinet contains: ❏ Processor Memory Bus (PMB) card cages. There is a front PMB card cage and a rear

PMB card cage. The PMB card cages contain processor cards, memory cards, bus converter cards, and a service processor (SP) card.

❏ DC-to-DC power modules for memory, BC cards, processors, and fans. ❏ Miscellaneous Power Module (MPM) for the Service Processor.

■ In the middle of the cabinet is the cooling fan tray.

■ The bottom half of the cabinet contains: ❏ HP-PB card cage. This card cage accepts HP-PB I/O cards.

❏ AC-to-DC power module (PFC unit). ❏ AC Front End (ACFE) with the circuit breaker switch. ❏ Battery Back-up Unit (BBU) for 890, 990, and 992 only.
