1 Abstract
This document is for the person who installs, administers, and troubleshoots servers and storage
systems. HP assumes you are qualified in the servicing of computer equipment and trained in
recognizing hazards in products with hazardous energy levels.
While some of the documentation that supports this product contains the HP Proliant and the DL380p
Gen8 Server product names, most of the information in those documents is relevant to this
workstation product. Since this product is supported on VMware and Citrix operating systems only,
information specific to Microsoft Windows and Linux may not apply.

To access the redundant ROM, set S1, S5, and S6 to on.
When the system maintenance switch position 6 is set to the On position, the system is prepared to
erase all system configuration settings from both CMOS and NVRAM.
CAUTION: Clearing CMOS and/or NVRAM deletes configuration information. Be sure to properly
configure the server or data loss could occur.
NMI functionality
An NMI crash dump enables administrators to create crash dump files when a system is hung and not
responding to traditional debug mechanisms.
Crash dump log analysis is an essential part of diagnosing reliability problems, such as hangs in
operating systems, device drivers, and applications. Many crashes freeze a system, and the only
available action for administrators is to cycle the system power. Resetting the system erases any
information that could support problem analysis, but the NMI feature preserves that information by
performing a memory dump before a hard reset.
To force the OS to invoke the NMI handler and generate a crash dump log, the administrator can use
the iLO Virtual NMI feature.
For more information, see the white paper on the HP website (http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/
support/SupportManual/c00797875/c00797875.pdf).
DIMM slot locations
DIMM slots are numbered sequentially (1 through 12) for each processor. The supported AMP modes
use the letter assignments for population guidelines.

1 processor Fan blank Fan blank Fan Fan Fan Fan
2 processors Fan Fan Fan Fan Fan Fan
For a single-processor configuration, four fans and two blanks are required in specific fan bays for
redundancy. A fan failure or missing fan causes a loss of redundancy. A second fan failure or missing
fan causes an orderly shutdown of the server.
16 Chapter 2 Component identification
Installing more than the required number of fans in a single-processor configuration is not a
supported configuration.
For a dual-processor configuration, six fans are required for redundancy. A fan failure or missing fan
causes a loss of redundancy. A second fan failure or missing fan causes an orderly shutdown of the
server.
The server supports variable fan speeds. The fans operate at minimum speed until a temperature
change requires a fan speed increase to cool the server. The server shuts down during the following
temperature-related scenarios:
At POST and in the OS, HP iLO performs an orderly shutdown if a cautionary temperature level
●
is detected. If the server hardware detects a critical temperature level before an orderly
shutdown occurs, the server performs an immediate shutdown.
When the Thermal Shutdown feature is disabled in RBSU, HP iLO does not perform an orderly
●
shutdown when a cautionary temperature level is detected. Disabling this feature does not
disable the server hardware from performing an immediate shutdown when a critical
temperature level is detected.
CAUTION: A thermal event can damage server components when the Thermal Shutdown
feature is disabled in RBSU.

3 Operations
Power up the server
To power up the server, press the Power On/Standby button.
Power down the server
Before powering down the server for any upgrade or maintenance procedures, perform a backup of
critical server data and programs.
IMPORTANT: When the server is in standby mode, auxiliary power is still being provided to the
system.
To power down the server, use one of the following methods:
Press and release the Power On/Standby button.
●
This method initiates a controlled shutdown of applications and the OS before the server enters
standby mode.
Press and hold the Power On/Standby button for more than 4 seconds to force the server to
●
enter standby mode.
This method forces the server 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 HP iLO.
●
This method initiates a controlled remote shutdown of applications and the OS before the server
enters standby mode.
Before proceeding, verify the server is in standby mode by observing that the system power LED is
amber.
18 Chapter 3 Operations
Extend the server from the rack
1
. Pull down the quick release levers on each side of the server.
2
. Extend the server from the rack.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage, be sure that the rack is
adequately stabilized before extending a component from the rack.
3
. After performing the installation or maintenance procedure, slide the server back into the rack,
and then press the server firmly into the rack to secure it in place.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal injury, be careful when pressing the server rail-
release latches and sliding the server into the rack. The sliding rails could pinch your fingers.
Extend the server from the rack 19
Remove the access panel
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 for long periods with the access panel open or removed.
Operating the server in this manner results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to
thermal damage.
To remove the component:
1.Power down the server on page 18.
2.Extend the server from the rack on page 19.
3
. Open or unlock the locking latch, slide the access panel to the rear of the chassis, and remove
the access panel.
Install the access panel
1
. Place the access panel on top of the server with the hood latch open. Allow the panel to extend
past the rear of the server approximately 1.25 cm (0.5 in).
2
. Push down on the hood latch. The access panel slides to a closed position.
3. Tighten the security screw on the hood latch.
20 Chapter 3 Operations
Access the product rear panel
Opening the cable management arm
To access the server rear panel:
1. Release the cable management arm.
2
. Open the cable management arm. Note that the cable management arm can be right-mounted
or left-mounted.
Access the product rear panel 21
Remove the hot-plug fan cage
To remove the component:
1.Power down the server on page 18.
2
. Remove all power:
a. Disconnect each power cord from the power source.
b
. Disconnect each power cord from the server.
3
. Extend (
4. Remove the access panel on page 20
5. Remove the air baffle on page 28.
6
. Remove the fan cage.
Extend the server from the rack on page 19) or remove the server from the rack.
CAUTION: Do not operate the server for long periods with the access panel open or removed.
Operating the server in this manner results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to
thermal damage.
IMPORTANT: For optimum cooling, install fans in all primary fan locations. For more information,
refer to the fan locations table (Hot-plug fans on page 16).
To replace the component, reverse the removal procedure.
