WARNING
If AC power supplies are installed:
Mains AC power disconnect: The AC power cord(s) is considered the
mains disconnect for the server and must be readily accessible when
installed. If the individual server power cord(s) will not be readily
accessible for disconnection then you are responsible for installing an
AC power disconnect for the entire rack unit. This main disconnect
must be readily accessible, and it must be labeled as controlling power to
the entire rack, not just to the server(s). To remove all power, two
AC cords must be removed.
User’s Guide 9
HP cc3300 Carrier Grade Server Product Guide
Grounding the rack installation: To avoid the potential for an electrical
shock hazard, you must include a third wire safety ground conductor
with the rack installation. If the server power cord is plugged into an
AC outlet that is part of the rack, then you must provide proper
grounding for the rack itself. If the server power cord is plugged into a
wall AC outlet, the safety ground conductor in the power cord provides
proper grounding only for the server. You must provide additional,
proper grounding for the rack and other devices installed in it.
Overcurrent protection: The server is designed for an AC line voltage
source with up to 20 amperes of overcurrent protection per cord feed. If
the power system for the equipment rack is installed on a branch circuit
with more than 20 amperes of protection, you must provide
supplemental protection for the server. The overall current rating of a
server configured with two power supplies is less than 4 amperes.
If DC power supplies are installed:
The DC source must be electrically isolated by double or reinforced
insulation from any hazardous AC or DC source. The DC source must
be capable of providing up to 300 W of continuous power per feed pair.
Connection with a DC source should only be performed by qualified
personnel.
Main DC power disconnect: You are responsible for installing a
DC power disconnect for the entire rack unit. This mains disconnect
must be readily accessible, and it must be labeled as controlling power to
the entire unit, not just to the servers(s).
Grounding the rack installation: To avoid the potential for an electrical
shock hazard, you must include a third wire safety ground conductor
with the rack installation. The safety grounding conductor must be a
minimum 14AWG connected to the chassis on the rear of the server.
The safety ground provides proper grounding only for the server. You
must provide additional, proper grounding for the rack and other
devices installed in it.
Overcurrent protection: Overcurrent protection circuit breakers must
be provided as part of each host equipment rack and must be installed
between the DC source and the server. The server is designed for a
DC line voltage power source with up to 10 amperes of overcurrent
protection per feed pair. If the DC power system for the equipment rack
is installed with more than 10 amperes of protection, you must provide
supplemental protection for the server. The overall current rating of a
server configured with two power supplies is less than 7 amperes.
10 User’s Guide

Do not attempt to modify or use an AC power cord that is not the exact
type required. You must use a power cord that meets the following
criteria:
1. Rating: For U.S./Canada cords must be UL Listed/CSA Certified
type SJT, 18-3 AWG. For outside U.S./Canada cords must be
flexible harmonized (<HAR>) or VDE certified cord with
3 x 0.75mm conductors rated 250 VAC.
2. Connector, wall outlet end: Cords must be terminated in
grounding-type male plug designed for use in your region. The
connector must have certification marks showing certification by an
agency acceptable in your region and for U.S. must be rated
125% of overall current rating of the server.
3. Connector, server end: The connectors that plug into the
AC receptacle on the server must be an IEC 320, sheet C13, type
female connector.
HP cc3300 Carrier Grade Server Product Guide
4. Cord length and flexibility: Cords must be less than 4.5 meters
(14.76 feet) long.
CAUTION
Temperature: The temperature, in which the server operates when installed
in an equipment rack, must be maintained between 5 °C (41 °F) and 40 °C
(104 °F). Extreme fluctuations in temperature can cause a variety of
problems in your server.
Ventilation: The equipment rack must provide sufficient airflow to the front
of the server to maintain proper cooling. The rack must also include
ventilation sufficient to exhaust a maximum of 1023 BTU's per hour for each
installed server. The rack selected and the ventilation provided must be
suitable to the environment in which the server will be used.

server management features, a third NIC must be added and teamed to NIC 2.
The network controller provides several options for increasing throughput and fault tolerance when
†
running Linux
• Adapter Fault Tolerance (AFT) - provides automatic redundancy for your adapter. If the
primary adapter fails, the secondary takes over. AFT works with any hub or switch.
• Adaptive Load Balancing (ALB) - creates a team of 2 - 6 adapters to increase transmission
throughput. Also includes AFT. Works with any 10Base-TX or 100Base-TX switch.
• Fast EtherChannel
increase transmission and reception throughput. Also includes AFT. Requires a FEC-enabled
switch.
To set up an option, read the instructions in the Linux readme files.
Adapter Fault Tolerance
Adapter Fault Tolerance (AFT) is a simple, effective, and fail-safe approach to increase the
reliability of server connections. AFT gives you the ability to set up link recovery to the server
adapter in case of a cable, port, or network interface card failure. By assigning two server adapters
as a team, AFT enables you to maintain uninterrupted network performance.
:
†
(FEC) or Intel® Link Aggregation - creates a team of up to 6 adapters to
AFT is implemented with two server adapters: a primary adapter and a backup, or secondary,
adapter. During normal operation, the backup will have transmit disabled. If the link to the
primary adapter fails, the link to the backup adapter automatically takes over.
22 Chassis Description
HP cc3300 Carrier Grade Server Product Guide
Preferred Primary Adapter
With multiple adapters installed, you can specify one as the Preferred Primary adapter. For
example if you have a server with a Gigabit LAN as the primary adapter and a 10/100 Base TX
LAN adapter as the secondary, you could configure the Gigabit LAN server adapter to be the
preferred primary. In this scenario, if the Gigabit LAN server adapter fails, the 10/100 Base TX
will take over. Then when the Gigabit LAN server adapter is replaced, it will automatically revert
to being the primary adapter in the team.
If a Preferred Primary is not selected, PROSet will attempt to select the best adapter, based on
adapter model and speed.
Mixed Adapter Teaming
AFT supports up to six server adapters per team, in any mix.
Adaptive Load Balancing
Adaptive Load Balancing (ALB) is a simple and efficient way to increase your server's transmit
throughput. With ALB you group server adapters in teams to provide an increased transmit rate
(up to 8 Gbps) using a maximum of eight adapters. The ALB software continuously analyzes
transmit loading on each adapter and balances the rate across the adapters as needed. Adapter
teams configured for ALB also provide the benefits of AFT. Receive rates remain at 100 Mbps or
1 Gbps depending on the primary adapter’s capability.
To use ALB, you must have 2-6 server adapters installed in your server or workstation and linked
to the same network switch.
Keyboard and Mouse
The keyboard controller is PS/2-compatible. If specified through the System Setup Utility (SSU),
the server may be locked automatically if there is no keyboard or mouse activity for a predefined
length of time. Once the inactivity (lockout) timer has expired, the keyboard and mouse do not
respond until the previously stored password is entered.
Chassis Description 23
HP cc3300 Carrier Grade Server Product Guide
RJ-45 Serial Port
The rear RJ-45 serial port is a fully functional COM port that supports any standard serial device
and provides support for serial concentrators, which typically support RJ45 serial connectors. For
server applications that use a serial concentrator to access the server management features of the
baseboard, a standard 8-pin CAT-5 cable from the serial concentrator is plugged directly into the
rear RJ45 serial port. The 8 pins of the RJ45 connector can be configured to match either of two
pin-out standards used by serial port concentrators. To accommodate either standard, the
J6A2 jumper block located directly behind the rear RJ45 serial port must be jumpered appropriately
according to which standard is desired.
NOTE
The RJ45 serial port’s default configuration is DSR. For serial concentrators
requiring a DCD signal, configure the jumper block as shown in Figure 37.
For those server applications requiring a DB9 serial connector, use an 8-pin RJ45-to-DB9 adapter
(A6900-6303). Table 5 defines the pin-out required for the adapter to provide RS232 support.

NOTE
The RJ45-to-DB9 adapter should match the configuration of the serial device
used. One of two pin-out configurations are used depending on whether the
serial device requires a DSR or DCD signal. The final adapter configuration
should also match the desired pin-out of the RJ45 connector, as it can also be
configured to support either DSR or DCD.
24 Chassis Description
HP cc3300 Carrier Grade Server Product Guide
ACPI
The SERVER BOARD supports the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) as
defined by the ACPI 1.0 and PC97 specifications. An ACPI aware operating system can put the
system into a state where the hard drives spin down, the system fans stop, and all processing is
halted. However, the power supply will still be on and the processors will still be dissipating some
power, so the power supply fans will still run.
The SERVER BOARD supports sleep states s0, s1, s4, and s5:
• s0: Normal running state.
• s1: Processor sleep state. No context will be lost in this state and the processor caches will
maintain coherency.
• s4: Hibernate or Save to Disk: The memory and machine state are saved to disk. Pressing the
power button or other wakeup event will restore the system state from the disk and resume
normal operation. This assumes that no hardware changes have been made to the system while
it was off.
• s5: Soft off: Only the RTC section of the CSB and the BMC are running in this state. No
context is saved by the OS or hardware.
CAUTION
The system is off only when the AC power cord is disconnected.
Security
Software Locks
The BIOS Setup and the System Setup Utility (SSU) provide a number of security features to
prevent unauthorized or accidental access to the system. Once the security measures are enabled,
you can access the system only after you enter the correct password(s). For example:
• Enable the keyboard lockout timer so that the server requires a password to reactivate the
keyboard and mouse after a specified time out period1 to 120 minutes.
• Set and enable a supervisor password.
• Set and enable a user password.
• Set secure mode to prevent keyboard or mouse input and to prevent use of the front panel reset
and power switches.
• Activate a hot key combination to enter secure mode quickly.
• Disable writing to the diskette drive when secure mode is set.
• Disable access to the boot sector of the operating system hard disk drive.
Using Passwords
You can set the user password, the supervisor password, or both passwords.
If only the user password is set, you:
• Must enter the user password to enter BIOS Setup or the SSU.
• Must enter the user password to boot the server if Password on Boot is enabled in either the
BIOS Setup or SSU.
• Must enter the user password to exit secure mode. If only the supervisor password is set, you:
• Must enter the supervisor password to enter BIOS Setup or the SSU.
Chassis Description 25
HP cc3300 Carrier Grade Server Product Guide
• Must enter the supervisor password to boot the server if Password on Boot is enabled in
either the BIOS Setup or SSU.
• Must enter the supervisor password to exit secure mode.
If both passwords are set, you:
• May enter the user password to enter BIOS Setup or the SSU. However, you will not be able to
change many of the options.
• Must enter the supervisor password if you want to enter BIOS Setup or the SSU and have
access to all of the options.
• May enter either password to boot the server if Password on Boot is enabled in either the BIOS
Setup or SSU.
• May enter either password to exit secure mode.
Secure Mode
Configure and enable the secure boot mode by using the SSU. When secure mode is in effect:
• You can boot the server and the operating system will run, but you must enter the user
password to use the keyboard or mouse.
• You cannot turn off system power or reset the server from the front panel switches.
• Secure mode has no effect on functions enabled via remote server management or power
control via the watchdog timer.
Taking the server out of secure mode does not change the state of system power. That is, if you
press and release the power switch while secure mode is in effect, the system will not be powered
off when secure mode is later removed. However, if the front panel power switch remains
depressed when secure mode is removed, the server will be powered off.
26 Chassis Description
HP cc3300 Carrier Grade Server Product Guide
Summary of Software Security Features
Table 6 lists the software security features and describes what protection each offers. In general, to
enable or set the features listed here, you must run the SSU and go to the Security Subsystem
Group, menu. The table also refers to other SSU menus and to the Setup utility.
Table 6. Software Security Features
Feature Description
Secure mode How to enter secure mode:
Setting and enabling passwords automatically places the system in secure mode.
If you set a hot-key combination (through Setup), you can secure the system
simply by pressing the key combination. This means you do not have to wait for
the inactivity time-out period.
When the system is in secure mode:
The server can boot and run the operating system, but mouse and keyboard input
is not accepted until the user password is entered.
At boot time, if a CD is detected in the CD-ROM drive or a diskette in drive A, the
system prompts for a password. When the password is entered, the server boots
from CD or diskette and disables the secure mode.
If there is no CD in the CD-ROM drive or diskette in drive A, the server boots from
drive C and automatically goes into secure mode. All enabled secure mode
features go into effect at boot time.
To leave secure mode: Enter the correct password(s).
Disable writing to
diskette
In secure mode, the server will not boot from or write to a diskette unless a
password is entered.
To write protect access to diskette whether the server is in secure mode or not, use
the Setup main menu, Floppy Options, and specify Floppy Access as read only.

To resume activity: Enter the correct password(s).
To control access to setting or changing the system configuration, set a supervisor
password and enable it through Setup.
If both the supervisor and user passwords are enabled, either can be used to boot
the server or enable the keyboard and/or mouse, but only the supervisor password
will allow Setup to be changed.
To disable a password, change it to a blank entry or press CTRL-D in the Change
Password menu of the Supervisor Password Option menu found in the Security
Subsystem Group.
To clear the password if you cannot access Setup, change the Clear Password
jumper (see Chapter 5).
To control access to using the system, set a user password and enable it through

The system can boot with or without a keyboard. During POST, before the system
completes the boot sequence, the BIOS automatically detects and tests the
keyboard if it is present and displays a message.
The sequence that you specify in setup will determine the boot order. If secure
mode is enabled (a user password is set), then you will be prompted for a
password before the server fully boots. If secure mode is enabled and the “Secure
Boot Mode” option is also enabled, the server will fully boot but will require a
password before accepting any keyboard or mouse input.
