14 Setup

Prerequisites for the initial server setup

Procedure

Verify that the optimum environmental requirements are satisfied.

Review and observe the server warnings and cautions.

Prepare the following items:

◦ Keyboard, mouse, and monitor

Ethernet cables of an appropriate length for each of the LAN and/or WAN connections.

◦ ◦ Verify the network settings needed to integrate the server into the site network, in particular from an IP

addressing perspective and from a domain perspective.

◦ Verify that there are sufficient ports available on the devices to which the server will be connected (for

example, router, LAN switch).

Optimum environment

When installing the server, select a location that meets the environmental requirements described in this section.

Site requirements

The server may be located in an office space or a purpose-made equipment room. The location must:

• Comply with local health and safety regulations.

• Be clean, tidy, and free of excessive dust and vibration.

• Be in an area in which the server cannot easily be disconnected from its power source.

• Not be adjacent to or underneath any area or piece of equipment where liquid is stored.

• Not be in a place where the server might be bumped, scratched, or disturbed.

• Be within an area that is ideally locked or at minimum not accessible to unauthorized personnel.

• Be within patching distance, directly or via cable management cross-patches, of the location of the WAN connection and the switch that supplies the office/room floor network ports.

Space and airflow requirements

Leave at least a 10 cm (4 in) clearance space at the front and back of the server for proper ventilation.

CAUTION:

The server draws in cool air through the ventilation openings on the front side, and expels warm air through the ventilation openings on the rear side. Do not block these openings. Failure to observe this caution will result in improper airflow and insufficient cooling that can lead to thermal damage.

Temperature requirements

To ensure continued, safe, and reliable equipment operation, install or position the system in a well-ventilated, climate-controlled environment.

The maximum recommended TMRA for most server products is 35°C (95°F). The temperature in the room where the server is located must not exceed 35°C (95°F).

Prerequisites for the initial server setup 15

CAUTION:

To reduce the risk of damage to the equipment when installing third-party options:

Do not permit optional equipment to impede airflow around the server beyond the maximum

• allowable limits.

• Do not exceed the manufacturer’s TMRA.

Power requirements

Installation of this equipment must comply with local and regional electrical regulations governing the installation of information technology equipment by licensed electricians. This equipment is designed to operate in installations covered by NFPA 70, 1999 Edition (National Electric Code) and NFP for Protection of Electronic Computer/Data Processing Equipment). For electrical power ratings on options, see the product rating label or the user documentation supplied with that option.

CAUTION:

Protect the server from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a regulating uninterruptible power supply. This device protects the hardware from damage caused by power surges and voltage spikes and keeps the system in operation during a power failure.

When installing more than one server, you might have to use additional power distribution devices to safely provide power to all devices. Observe the following guidelines:

• Balance the server power load between available AC supply branch circuits. Do not allow the overall system AC current load to exceed 80% of the branch circuit AC current rating.

•

• Do not use common power outlet strips for this equipment.

• Provide a separate electrical circuit for the server.

A-75, 1992 (code

Electrical grounding requirements

The server must be grounded properly for proper operation and safety. In the United States, you must install the equipment in accordance with NFP local and regional building codes. In Canada, you must install the equipment in accordance with Canadian Standards Association, CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code. In all other countries, you must install the equipment in accordance with any regional or national electrical wiring codes, such as the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Code 364, parts 1 through 7. Furthermore, you must be sure that all power distribution devices used in the installation, such as branch wiring and receptacles, are listed or certified grounding-type devices.

Because of the high ground-leakage currents associated with multiple servers connected to the same power source, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends the use of a PDU that is either permanently wired to the building’s branch circuit or includes a nondetachable cord that is wired to an industrial-style plug. NEMA locking-style plugs or those complying with IEC 60309 are considered suitable for this purpose. Using common power outlet strips for the server is not recommended.

Electrostatic discharge

Preventing electrostatic discharge

About this task

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.

Operations 21

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.

Grounding methods to prevent electrostatic discharge

Several methods are used for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when handling or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:

• Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer chassis. Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm ±10 percent resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.

•

Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both feet when standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor mats.

• Use conductive field service tools.

• Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.

If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, have an authorized reseller install the part.

For more information on static electricity or assistance with product installation, contact an authorized reseller.

Power up the server

DIMM ranks

To understand and configure memory protection modes properly Some DIMM configuration requirements are based on these classifications.

A single-rank DIMM has one set of memory chips that is accessed while writing to or reading from the memory. A dual-rank DIMM is similar to having two single-rank DIMMs on the same module, with only one rank accessible at a time. A quad-rank DIMM is, effectively, two dual-rank DIMMs on the same module. Only one rank is accessible at a time. The server memory control subsystem selects the proper rank within the DIMM when writing to or reading from the DIMM.

Dual- and quad-rank DIMMs provide the greatest capacity with the existing memory technology. For example, if current DRAM technology supports 8 GB single-rank DIMMs, a dual-rank DIMM would be 16 GB, and a quad-rank DIMM would be 32 GB, and an octal-rank LRDIMM would be 64 GB.

LRDIMMs are labeled as quad- and octal-rank DIMMs. There are four and eight ranks of DRAM on the DIMM, but the LRDIMM buffer creates an abstraction that allows the DIMM to appear as a logical dual-rank DIMM to the system. This is called Rank Multiplication. The LRDIMM buffer also isolates the electrical loading of the DRAM from the system to allow for faster operation. These two changes allow the system to support up to three LRDIMMs per memory channel, providing for greater memory capacity and higher memory operating speed compared to quad-rank RDIMMs.

DIMM handling guidelines

When handling a DIMM, observe the following guidelines.

• A

void electrostatic discharge.

• Always hold DIMMs by the side edges only.

• Avoid touching the connectors on the bottom of the DIMM.

• Never wrap your fingers around a DIMM.

• Avoid touching the components on the sides of the DIMM.

• Never bend or flex the DIMM.

, an understanding of DIMM rank is helpful.

CAUTION:

Failure to properly handle DIMMs can cause damage to the components on the DIMM, as well as the system board connector.

DIMM installation guidelines

When installing a DIMM, observe the following guidelines.

• Before seating the DIMM, open the DIMM slot and align the DIMM with the slot.

•

To align and seat the DIMM, use two fingers to hold the DIMM along the side edges.

• To seat the DIMM, use two fingers to apply gentle pressure along the top of the DIMM.

For more information, see the

Embedded UEFI Shell

The system BIOS in this provides an API, a command-line prompt, and a set of CLIs that allow scripting, file manipulation, and system information. These features enhance the capabilities of the Aptio Setup Utility.

For more information, see the UEFI Shell Specification on the UEFI website:

http://www.uefi.org/specifications

62 Embedded UEFI Shell

server

includes an Embedded UEFI Shell in the ROM. The UEFI Shell environment

Secure Boot configuration

Secure Boot 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. Secure Boot also ensures 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, only firmware components and operating systems with boot loaders that have an appropriate digital signature can be executed during the boot process. Only operating systems that support Secure Boot and have a UEFI boot loader signed with one of the authorized keys can boot.

User can customize the certificates embedded in the UEFI BIOS by adding or removing their own certificates.

USB support

Hewlett Packard Enterprise servers support both USB 2.0 ports and USB 3.0 ports. Both port types support installing all types of USB devices (USB 1.0, USB 2.0, and USB 3.0), but might run at lower speeds in specific situations:

• USB 3.0 capable devices operate at USB 2.0 speeds when installed in a USB 2.0 port.

• In UEFI boot mode, Hewlett Packard Enterprise provides legacy USB support in the preboot environment

before the operating system loads for USB 1.0, USB 2.0, and USB 3.0 speeds.

• In legacy boot mode, Hewlett Packard Enterprise provides legacy USB support in the preboot environment

before the operating system loads for USB 1.0 and USB 2.0 speeds. USB 3.0 ports can be used with all devices in legacy boot mode but are not available at USB 3.0 speeds in the preboot environment. Standard USB support (USB support from within the operating system) is provided by the OS through the appropriate USB device drivers. Support for USB 3.0 varies by operating system.

The pre-OS behavior of the USB ports is configurable in the Aptio Setup Utility.

Keeping the system current

Firmware

Firmware is a software program that is stored in the system ROM chip on the system board or to an optional controller. Firmware controls the system when it is first powered on and then passes control to the operating system.

64 Marvell BIOS Utility

The firmware on the system board of the server is called the system ROM or the BIOS. The firmware on another piece of hardware configured in the server is called the option ROM.

Firmware update

Update the firmware (also called "flashing the ROM") as part of regular server maintenance. In addition, check for specific firmware updates in between regular updates to help keep the server performing optimally.

Firmware updates are created for

• To provide critical problem fixes that ensure system stability, such as upgrades that might prevent server unresponsiveness and other issues that could put the system at risk.

• To correct product issues, such as ROM or processor functionality.

• To improve system performance or make the system more serviceable.

Server downtime and time spent removing, returning, and ultimately replacing hardware might be avoided by first updating the firmware during the troubleshooting process. Many product issues that result in hardware replacement are preventable or correctable with a firmware update. Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends checking for a firmware update before sending a part back to Hewlett Packard Enterprise for replacement.

On servers that have add-on options, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends checking for firmware upgrades for each installed option whenever an update to the system ROM or to another option is performed. This ensures that the entire system is running the latest updates for each component.

Multiple methods exist to update the system ROM:

• EFI tool under Embedded UEFI Shell

• Online Flash components

Product entitlement is required to perform updates.

CAUTION:

Any kind of system interruption during the firmware update results in errors that might corrupt the BIOS settings. These errors prevent the server from booting up. T following cautions:

, but are not limited to, the following reasons:

o prevent these update errors, observe the

• Attach a UPS to the server to provide backup power to the system when updating the firmware.

• Do not perform a forced shutdown of the server.

• Do not perform a forced closure of the firmware update tool.
