button only turns power On or Off.
The sleep states are NOS dependent and not available if your
NOS does not support power management based on the ACPI
(Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) standard.
Refer to "Applying Power to the HP NetServer" and "Sleep
States (ACPI)" later in this chapter.
This LED glows stea dy green when power i s on, and goes
dark when the NetServer is powered off.
If the NetServer is under ACPI control, this LED will flash
green on and off when in an inactive sleep state.

comes with one power supply module standard, and a second power supply
module for redundancy is optional.

Green LED Power Supply and NetServer Status
St eady Green This indicates the HP NetServer is powered up and operating
normally, or is in an ACPI suspend state.
Off This indicates the NetServer is powered off, the AC line cord
is unplugged, or the power supply has failed, which may
include a fan failure (turning too slowly). If a fan fails in one
of two supplies, the defective supply will continue to operate
until it reaches the thermal shutdown limit. The second power
supply (redundant power supply) will continue to operate
providing the necessary power. Refer to Chapter 12,
"Troubleshooting."

Applying Power to the HP NetServe r
Powering Up the HP NetServer
1. Ensure the HP NetServer’s power cord or p ower cords are connect ed to the
power source. See Figure 2-4.
2. Pr ess the Power button on the front control panel. See Figure 2-1 or 2-2.
NOTE Each time AC power is applied (power cord is plugged in),
ther e is a 15 s econd dela y (self test) bef ore the front control
panel will respond to your actions.
Powering Down the HP NetSer ver
1. Log off all users a nd , if necessary, back-up files.
2. Follow instructi ons in your network operating system (NOS)
documentation to gracefully shut down all networking software and
applications.
3. Press the power switch on th e HP NetServer’s control panel when
pr ompted by the operating system.
Normally, this completes the shutdown procedure.
NOTE The power supply will continue to provide standby voltage to
the HP NetServer until th e power cord(s) is/ar e di s connect ed.
Connecting AC Power to M ultiple-S erv er Configurat ions
The HP NetServer temporarily draws a large "inrush current," when first
conn ected to an AC power s ource. Th is also occurs when the NetServer is in a
standby mode (power is turned off and the power cord is plugged into AC power).
The inrush current is much greater than the NetServer’s normal operating current
and generally, the AC power source can handle the normal inrush current.
However, if you install several HP NetServers on one circuit, precaution s are
necessary. If there is a power failure and power is then restored, all the servers
immediately begin to draw inrush current at the same time. If the circuit breakers
on th e in com ing power l ine have ins u ffi cient ca pability, the brea ker may trip an d
thus prevent the servers from powering up.
When preparing your site for installation, allow for the additional inrush current.
See "Power Requirements" in Appendix A.

Sleep States (A CPI )
The HP NetServer supports the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power
Interface) st andard , which is a key component of a NOS’s directed power
management. The supported features are only available when an ACPI-compliant
NOS is installed on the NetServer. The term “sleep state” refer s t o any of several
reduced power consump tion st at es in whi ch normal NOS activity has ceased.
The NetServer supports several sleep states, including a sleep state with a short
wake-up time, sometimes referred to as “standby” or “suspend” by various
operating systems. In this sleep state the NetServer appears to be off, and is
indicated by n o display on the monitor and no activity for the CD-ROM or
internal har d drives. Howev er, th e power LED is slowl y flashin g and the fan s ar e
operating.
An additional sleep state supported by the NetServer is on e with a slower wake-up
time, sometimes referred to as “hibernate” by var ious operating systems. In this
sleep state, the NetServer appears to be off as mentioned earlier, but the fans and
the power LED are also turned off. This sleep state's unique feature (and the
reason for its slower wake-up time) is that the NetServer's state (applications
running, screens open, etc.) just pri or to hiberna te has been saved to disk an d mus t
be restored from disk upon wa ke-up. This method of restoring the NetServer's
operation is much faster than rebooting the NetServer, which would require
running all the start -u p self-test s before starting the NOS.
The NetServer supports certain types of system activity, which is used as wake-up
events from these sleep states. These wake-up events can be generated from the
power button, LAN activity, and scheduled events. The embedded Integrated
Remote Assistan t also has the capability of waking up the NetServer.
NOTE The HP NetServer’s power management policies (transitions
between variou s p ower states) and th e user op tions are specific
to the particular ACPI -compliant NOS installed on the
NetServer. I f your resp ecti ve NOS is AC PI -comp li ant , r efer t o
the power management features in the instructions provided for
more information.
The HP NetServer’s power button can be configured to initiate a sleep state (Sleep
button) or a “soft off” or graceful shutdown of the NOS, rather than an immediate
shutdown of the power supply. The power button configurations are dependent on
the user interface pr ovided by th e ACPI- compl iant NOS. While power
management is under the control of the ACPI-compliant NOS, the HP NetServer’s
power button is capable of an overr ide in case of a non-responsive NOS.

Chapter 2 Control s, Por t s, an d In di cators
NOTE The HP NetServer power button will force a power down
without waitin g for th e NOS to gracefull y shut down th e
system if the power button is pressed and held in excess of four
seconds.
CAUTION If the power button override is used, there is a strong
possibility of corrupted or lost data.

NetServer
Introduction
This chapter describes how to safely extend the rack-mounted HP NetServer
LC 2000r out of the rack and how to remove and replace the covers from the
HP NetServer LC 2000r and the pedestal model, HP NetServer LC 2000. This
chapter also describes how to remove and replace the pedestal base from the
HP NetServer LC 2000.
WARNING Before removing the covers, shut down the operating system
and di scon nect the power cor d s and unplug t elephon e ca bles.
Disconnect the power cords to avoid exposure to high energy
levels t h at may cause burns when p ar ts are short-cir cu ited by
metal objects, such as tools or jewelry. Disconnect telephone
cables to avoid exposure to a shock hazard from telephone
ringing voltages.
Tools Requ ir ed
l
An anti-static service kit (3M™ 8501/8502/8503 or equivalent). This kit
includes a static-dissipating work surface, a ch assis clip lead, and a wrist
strap.

Chapter 3 Opening and Closing the HP NetServer
Removing the HP NetServer’s Covers
The HP NetServer’ s covers ar e designated top and bottom f or the ra ck - mounted
version and left and right for the pedestal version.
Removing Cov ers – Rac k-Mou nt (LC 2 000r)
Use this procedure to remove the bezel and then safely extend the NetServer to
where you can r e move the cov e rs ( top an d bottom) fr om the
HP NetServe r LC 2000r.
• If you are installing hardware options, you must remove the front bezel,
exte nd the NetServe r, an d remove th e top cover. T he har dware options
include accessory boards, DIMMs, an d an additional processor, which
require access to the interior of the NetServer.
• If you are on ly ins talli ng or removing S CSI disk dr ives, open the beze l, but
do not extend the NetServer or remove the covers. The front bezel is
hinged lik e a door and does not re quire remova l .
l
If you are only installing the redundant power supply, you do not need to
remove the bezel, extend the NetServer or remove the covers.
WARNING To prevent injury do not operate the HP NetServer with its
cover s removed, or instal l items with the power cord
conn ected.
Always disconnect the power cord before removing any
covers, to avoid exposure to high energy levels that may cause
burns when parts are short-circuited by metal objects such as
tools or jewelry. Disconne ct any telephone cables t o avoid
exposure to shock hazard from telephone ringing voltages.
CAUTION To prevent ove rheating, never operate the NetServe r with it s
covers removed. This includes the power supplies and Hot
Swap hard disks, which mu st be repl a ced or the open ing
covered immediately (within 2 minutes).
1. If the HP NetServer is operating, log off all users and, if necessary,
back up files.
2. Follow instructi ons in your network operating system (NOS)
documentation to gracefully shut down all networking software and
applications.
