Before beginning any of the removal and replacement procedures, complete the following steps:
1.Turn the computer and any peripheral devices off.
2.Disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet, then from the server.
3.Disconnect all external peripheral devices from the server.
POWER SUPPLY SAFETY INTERLOCK
The Compaq ProLiant 4500 Server is equipped with a safety interlock switch to minimize the risk
of exposure to high voltage and maintain proper air flow for cooling of the processor and mass
storage devices. When the side access panel is removed, the power supply is automatically
disabled. This safety feature can be defeated with a Service Maintenance Key (Spares Part
Number 148757-001) if power is required when servicing the server with the side access panel
removed.
WARNING: High voltage present. Extreme care must be taken when running
the Compaq ProLiant 4500 Server with the system unit cover removed and the
safety interlock defeated.

Hot-Pluggable Hard Drives
Hot-Pluggable hard drives used in combination with the Compaq Smart SCSI Array Controller
can be replaced while the power is still on.
NOTE: It is not necessary to set the SCSI ID jumpers on a Compaq replacement Hot-
Pluggable hard drive. The SCSI ID is set automatically by the backplane board and the
Hot-Pluggable tray when the drive is installed.
CAUTION: Before removing any Hot-Pluggable hard drive, read the guidelines listed in
the following section.
Important Guidelines About Replacing
Hot-Pluggable Hard Drives
When a drive configured for fault tolerance is replaced, the replacement drive will
automatically begin being restored when it is installed. When a drive is in the process of being
restored, the On-line LED will flash green. The LED will continue to flash until the drive is
completely restored.
Figure 2-8. Hot-Pluggable Hard Drive LED Indicators
When replacing Hot-Pluggable hard drives, these guidelines must be followed:
nNever remove more than one drive at a time. When a drive is replaced, the controller uses
data from the other drives in the array to reconstruct data on the replacement drive. If more
than one drive is removed, a complete data set is not available to reconstruct data on the
replacement drive(s).
nNever remove a working drive when another drive has failed. Drives that have been
failed by the controller are indicated by the amber DriveFailure LED on the drive tray.
Permanent data loss will occur if a working drive is removed when replacing a failed drive.
Maintenance and Service Guide
2-8 Removal and Replacement Procedures
nNever remove a drive while another drive is being rebuilt. A drives' On-line LED will be
flashing green whenever it is being rebuilt. A replaced drive is restored from data stored on
the other drives.
nNever turn a ProLiant Storage System off while the Server controlling it is powered on.
Doing so will cause the server's SMART Controller to mark the drives as "failed." This
could result in permanent data loss.
nIf an on-line spare drive is installed, wait for it to complete rebuilding before replacing
the failed drive. When a drive fails, the on-line spare will become active and begin being
rebuilt as a replacement drive. After the on-line spare has been completely rebuilt (On-line
LED will be on solid), the failed drive should be replaced with a new replacement drive. Donot replace the failed drive with the on-line spare.
nA POST error message (1786) will occur when the system is turned on if a drive(s) has
been replaced while the system is OFF. When this occurs you will be prompted to:
PRESS F1 TO BOOT THE SYSTEM AND REBUILD THE REPLACED DRIVE OR,
PRESS F2 TO BOOT THE SYSTEM AND NOT REBUILD THE DRIVE(S).
CAUTION: Pressing F2 will cause permanent data loss to the entire logical drive. F2
should be pressed only if all of the drives have been replaced or if complete data loss is
desired.
Replacing Hot-Pluggable Hard Drives
The front access drive bay area is located behind the front bezel door and can hold up to four half
height hot-pluggable hard drives.
Figure 2-9. Replacing a Hot-Pluggable Hard Drive
To Remove Drive

size has changed. A POST error message will be displayed at power up
prompting you to run the System Configuration Utility.
Removal and Replacement Procedures
2-13
The following guidelines MUST be followed when installing or replacing memory:
coreecting (ECC) memory is based on the parity scheme; one byte data, one bit
Compaq SIMMs or JEDEC-compliant SIMMs that conform to this parity scheme
n SIMMs must be installed in matched sets of four at time; for example: four 16-megabyte
modules.
n Matched SIMMs must be the same size and speed.
n Install SIMM sets in bank 1 first, then in bank 2.
CAUTION: Use only JEDEC standard SIMMs. Non-JEDEC SIMMs may
adversely affect data integrity.
NOTE: The Compaq ProLiant 4500 requires that RAM be installed in
increments of four SIMMs at a time. The SIMMs must be the same size and
speed. The specific SIMM bit pattern required to support error checking and
parity. The data byte and parity are constructed of DRAMs that are "n"
locations deep by 4-bits wide or 1-bit wide and "n" can be any number. (that is,
"n" locations deep x 4-bits wide or "n" locations deep x 1-bit wide.) Use
only.
The following table shows typical memory configurations for the Compaq ProLiant 4500 Server.
NOTE: Be sure the switch settings on SW1 are set to the Tower configuration.

DIAGNOSTICS (DIAGS)
Diagnostic error codes occur if the system recognizes a problem while running the Diagnostics
program. These error codes help identify possible defective subassemblies.
Tables 3-2 through 3-17 list possible error codes, a description of the error condition, and the
action required to resolve the error condition.
In each case, the Recommended Action column lists the steps necessary to correct the problem.
After completing each step, run the Diagnostics program to verify whether the error condition has
been corrected. If the error code reappears, perform the next step, then run the Diagnostics
program again. Follow this procedure until the Diagnostics program no longer detects an error
condition.
If you encounter an error condition, complete the following steps before starting problem isolation
procedures:
1.Ensure that there is proper ventilation. The computer should have approximately 12 inches
(30.5 cm) clearance at the front and back of the system unit.
2.Turn off the computer and peripheral devices.
3.Disconnect any peripheral devices other than the monitor and keyboard. Do not disconnect
the printer if you want to test it or use it to log error messages.
4.Delete the power-on password, if set. You will know that the power-on password is set when
a key icon appears on the screen when POST completes. If this occurs, you must enter the
password to continue. To delete the password, type the current password and press the
Enter key.
5.If you do not have access to the password, you must disable the power-on password by using
the Password Disable switch on the system board.
6.Install a loopback plug when instructed to by Diagnostics (Part Number 142054-001).
7.Run the latest version of Diagnostics.

DRIVE ARRAY ADVANCED
DIAGNOSTICS (DAAD)
Drive Array Advanced Diagnostics (DAAD) is a DOS-based tool designed to run on all Compaq
products that contain a Smart SCSI Array Controller using Fast-SCSI-2 Drives. The error
messages and codes listed include all codes generated by Compaq products. Your system will
generate only those codes that are applicable to your configuration and options. The two main
functions of DAAD are to collect all possible information about the array controllers in the system
and to offer a list of all detected problems.
NOTE: Refer to the Drive Array Advanced Diagnostics User Guide for
complete details and procedures about this diagnostic tool.
Table 3-17
The following steps apply for 8601xx error codes:
1. Replace with a working pointing
device and re-test.
2. Replace the system board
and re-test.
DAAD works by issuing multiple commands to the array controllers to determine if a problem
exists. This data can then be saved to a file and, for severe situations, this file can be sent to
Compaq for analysis. In most cases, DAAD will provide enough information to initiate problem
resolution immediately.
Starting DAAD
To start DAAD:
1.Insert the DAAD diskette into drive A and reboot the system. If you are at the DOS prompt,
enter the following:
2.A dialog box displays indicating the version of DAAD installed. Press the Enter key to
continue.
To exit without continuing, press the Esc key.
NOTE: DAAD does not write to the drives or destroy data. It does not change
or remove configuration information.
A:DAAD
Maintenance and Service Guide
3-26 Diagnostic Tools
3.If you continue, a "Please Wait" panel will display indicating that DAAD is identifying the
system parameters.
DAAD gathers all the information it can from all of the array controllers in the system. The
time it takes to gather this information depends on the size of your system.
CAUTION: Do not cycle the power because the utility must perform low-level
operations that, if interrupted, could cause the controller to revert back to a
previous level of firmware if the firmware was soft-upgraded.
4.Another "Please Wait" panel will appear to indicate that the utility is identifying the ROM
version. When this completes, the main DAAD screen will display.
NOTE: To generate a DAAD report without starting the interactive portion of
the utility, enter the following at the DOS prompt: DAAD filename
where filename is the name of the file or report.
DAAD Diagnostic Messages
The following is a description of the diagnostic messages that may appear in the dialog box of the
Diagnosis menu. Included with each message is a probable cause and a probable solution or
troubleshooting routine.
To view the problems detected by DAAD, select the Diagnosis button. If DAAD found no
problems, a message, "No Problems Detected," will display.
Accelerator board not detected
The IDA-2 board did not detect the presence of a configured array accelerator board.
Install an array accelerator board onto the IDA-2 controller. If you have an array accelerator
board installed, check the seating to ensure that it has been properly installed onto the IDA-2
board. You may need to run the Compaq System Configuration Utility and disable the array
accelerator board to get this message off the screen.
Accelerator error log
This is a list of the last 32 parity errors on transfers between the IDA-2 board transfer buffer
and memory on the array accelerator board. The starting memory address, transfer count, and
operation (read and write) displays.
If there are a number of these parity errors, you may need to replace the array
accelerator board.
Accelerator parity read errors: n
This message displays the number of times that read memory parity errors were detected
during transfers between the IDA-2 board transfer buffer and memory on the array accelerator
board.
If there are a number of these parity errors, you may need to replace the array
accelerator board.

3-27
Accelerator parity write errors: n
This message displays the number of times that write memory parity errors were detected
during transfers between the IDA-2 board transfer buffer and memory on the array
accelerator board.
If there are a number of these parity errors, you may need to replace the array
accelerator board.
Accelerator status: Permanently disabled
The array accelerator board has been permanently disabled. It will remain disabled until it is
reinitialized using the System Configuration Utility.
Check the Disable Code field. Run the System Configuration Utility to reinitialize the array
accelerator board.
Accelerator status: Possible data loss in cache
Possible data loss was detected during power-up due to all of the batteries being below the
sufficient voltage level and no presence of the identification signatures on the array
accelerator board.
There is no way to determine if dirty or bad data was in the cache and is now lost.
Accelerator status: Temporarily disabled
The array accelerator board has been temporarily disabled.
Check the Disable Code field.
Accelerator status: Unrecognized status
A status returned from the array accelerator board that DAAD does not recognize.
Call your Authorized Compaq Reseller for the latest copy of DAAD.
Accelerator status: Valid data found at reset
Valid data was found in the posted write memory at re-initialization. The data will be flushed
to disk.
This is not an error or data loss condition. No action needs to be taken.
Accelerator status: Warranty alert
A catastrophic problem has occurred with the array accelerator board. Refer to the other
messages on the Diagnostics screen for the exact meaning of this message.
Replace the array accelerator board.
Battery pack X below reference voltage
The indicated battery pack is below the required voltage levels.
Allow sufficient time for the batteries to recharge (36 hours). If the batteries have not
recharged after 36 hours, replace the battery pack.

RAPID RECOVERY SERVICES
The Compaq ProLiant provides rapid recovery services for diagnosing and recovering from errors.
These tools are available for local and remote diagnosis and recovery. The following topics are
discussed here:
nAutomatic Server Recovery (ASR)
nServer Health Logs
nSystem Configuration History Files
NOTE: Please refer to the Compaq On-line Help for complete details and
procedures about this diagnostic tool.
Automatic Server Recovery
The Automatic Server Recovery (ASR) feature can be optionally enabled to restart a Server after
a critical hardware or software error has occurred. If a critical error occurs, the Server will record
the error information in the Server Health Logs, reboot the system, and initiate a call to a pager.
The system can be configured for either automatic recovery or for attended local or remote access
to diagnostic and configuration tools.
NOTE: ASR is available only under operating systems using the ASR drivers
provided by Compaq.

Configuring the Server for
Automatic Server Recovery (ASR)
When setting up the Server to use Automatic Server Recovery (ASR), you must set the ASR
Timer, select the pager number to call, specify how you want the Server to recover from critical
system faults, and specify when to monitor. This selection process is accomplished through the
SmartStart installation process and can be modified through the Compaq System Configuration
Utility.
The ASR depends on an operating system driver that routinely notifies the ASR hardware that the
system is operating properly. You should set the ASR Timer to allow the ASR to wait a
reasonable period of time before resetting the system and activating the recovery process after a
fault occurs. If the time between ASR notifications by the driver exceeds the specified time
period, it will assume a fault has occurred and initiate the recovery process.
For example, if the ASR Timer is set to 10 minutes, the system will not reset the Server unless 10
minutes elapses with no notification from the driver that the system is operating properly.
You can select to be paged (modem required) and what mode the Server will be in when it restarts
after a critical error. The following sections describe the different reboot options and the system
requirements for each level.
Unattended Recovery
For unattended recovery, ASR will log the error information to the Critical Error Log, reset the
Server, test all memory, automatically de-allocate any bad memory blocks found, page you (if
modem is present and paging is selected), and attempt to reboot the operating system. Often the
Server will restart successfully, making this the ideal choice for remote locations where trained
service personnel are not immediately available.
The ASR will only attempt the recovery process a limited number of times. If the Server
continues to experience hardware/software errors and the number of recovery cycles exceed the
retry limit, the Server will log an error to the Critical Error Log and continue to boot the Compaq
Utilities from the hard drive.
The requirements to use this level of the ASR feature are:
nOperating System with ASR support
nASR configured to load the operating system after reboot
nOptional Hayes-compatible modem (only required for paging)
Maintenance and Service Guide
3-38 Diagnostic Tools
Attended Recovery
data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity. However, additional setup not outlined in this
For local or remote installations where it is desirable to supervise the recovery, ASR will log the
error information to the Critical Error Log, reset the Server, test all memory, automatically deallocate any bad memory blocks found, page you, boot the Compaq Utilities from the hard drive,
and place the modem in auto answer mode. These utilities are placed on a special system utilities
partition on the hard drive during the system configuration process. If a modem with an autoanswer feature is installed, you can dial in and remotely diagnose or re-configure the Server;
otherwise, this can be done from the Server console. The requirements to use this level of the
ASR feature are:
nOperating System with ASR support
nSystem Configuration Utility and Diagnostics Utility installed on the system partition of the
hard drive
nASR configured to load the Compaq Utilities after reboot
nOptional Hayes-compatible modem with auto-answer feature (only required for remote
operations and paging)
For remote operations, the administrator must have access to Compaq Insight Manager or a
communications software package capable of terminal emulation to a local terminal with VT100
or ANSI terminal capabilities.
NOTE: If the remote site is using something other than VT100 or an ANSI
terminal emulator, it is still possible to configure remotely as long as the
package contains either an ANSI terminal or VT100 terminal emulator set for 8
document may be required, and functionality may be reduced.
ASR Security
The standard Compaq ProLiant security password features function differently during Automatic
Server Recovery-2 than during a typical system startup.
During ASR the system will not prompt for the Power-On Password. This allows the ASR to
restart the Operating System or Compaq Utilities without user intervention.
To maintain system security, the Server should be set to boot in Network Server Mode (an option
in the System Configuration Utility). This option ensures that the Server keyboard is locked until
you enter the Keyboard Password.
You should also select an Administrator Password (an option in the System Configuration Utility).
During attended ASR (local or remote), you must enter this Administrator Password before any
modifications can be made to the Server configuration.

Server Health Logs
The Server Health Logs contain information to help identify and correct any Server failures and
correlate hardware changes with Server failure. The Server Health Logs are stored in nonvolatile
RAM and consist of the Critical Error Log and the Revision History Table.
If errors occur, information about the errors is automatically stored in the Critical Error Log.
Whenever boards or components (that support revision tracking) are updated to a new revision,
the Revision History Table will be updated.
Critical Error Log
The Critical Error Log records noncorrectable memory errors as well as catastrophic hardware and
software errors that typically cause the system to fail. This information helps you quickly identify
and correct the problem, minimizing downtime.
The log can be viewed through Inspect Utility, Diagnostics Utility, Compaq Insight Manager, or
the optional Server Manager/R. The Diagnostics Utility either resolves the error or suggests
corrective action.
The Critical Error Log identifies and records all the following errors. Each error type is briefly
explained below. When any of these errors are encountered, you should run the Diagnostics
Utility.

Revision History Table
Some errors can be resolved by reviewing changes to the Compaq ProLiant configuration. The
Server has an Automatic Revision Tracking (ART) feature that helps you review recent changes
to the Server's configuration.
One ART feature is the Revision History Table, which contains the hardware version number of
the system board and any other EISA or PCI boards providing ART-compatible revision
information. The Revision History is provided in the following format in Table 3-19.
Table 3-19
Revision History Format
Values
Functional Revision LevelA to BC

expansion slot. The table also contains complete version information on the previous
configuration. This feature allows correlation of hardware changes with Server failure. The
following information is stored in the Revision History Table:
nType of board (System, EISA, or PCI)
nSlot number
nExpansion board ID
nVersion
System Configuration History Files
The System Configuration History Files, part of the ART feature, allow you to review
modifications to the system configuration.
If a change has been made to the configuration file, the System Configuration Utility will keep a
history of the system configuration file. The System Configuration Utility stores the three most
recent configurations.
The most recent configuration of the System Configuration History Log can be displayed and
printed using the Inspect Utility. All three versions can be printed for historical purposes or
reinstalled through the Maintain Configuration Utility feature of the System Configuration Utility.
ROMPaq
The use of flash ROM in the Compaq ProLiant and in certain options controllers allows the
firmware (BIOS) to be upgraded with system or option ROMPaq utilities. To upgrade the ROM,
insert the ROMPaq diskette into drive A and cold boot the system. The ROMPaq utility will then
check the system and provide a choice (if more than one exists) of ROM revisions that the system
can be upgraded to. This procedure is the same for both system and option ROMPaq utilities.
CAUTION: Do not turn the power off during a firmware upgrade. A loss of
power during upgrade may corrupt the upgrade.
