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.

Chapter 2 Controls, Port s and Ind ic ator s

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.

4 Installing Mass Storage Devices

Introduction

This chapter describes how to install the internal mass storage devices, including the i nter nal S CSI Hot Swap hard disk dr ives and the optiona l Tape Backu p (DAT) Dri ve. The req uirements for external SCSI dr i ves are provid ed in the respective topic later in this chapter.

NOTE The two embedded SCS I controllers bot h operate a s LVD

(Low-Voltage Differential) controllers, but if a SE (single-ended) device is connected to the controller, it automatically switches to SE and all SCSI devices connected to the controller must operate as SE devices. A 68-pin to 50-pin SCSI a da p ter is provided on the ter minated SCSI cable used for non-hot swap SCSI devices. If your system was n ot con fig ur ed with a backup (DAT) tape drive, you must use the terminated non-hot swap cable for the tape drive.

Installing S torage D evices A fter S hipmen t

If you are installing mass storage devices that were not shipped with your HP NetServer, certain configurations may require additional cables or adapters not provided with your HP NetServer shipment. For part numbers of the required items, such as HP cables, adapters, trays, and configuration infor mation, see Information Assi stant on the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM.

Boot Priority

This section details the HP NetServer’s boot order by highest to lowest priority. The on-board SCSI controller has two channels, A and B. Channel A is typically used to control the Hot Swap SCSI drives. Channel B is typically used to control the int ernal non-hot swap S C S I dr ives. On each S C S I channel, th e N etServer scans for a boot devi ce startin g a t device ID 0 and pr oceed s up fr om there.

The HP N e tServer ’s boot orde r (BIOS sea rch order for a boot device) should be consid ered, when connect ing cables from th e on board SCSI chan nels. A SC SI

drive’s boot priority is set by the drive’s location in the boot order. See Figure 4-1.

Chapter 4 Installing Mass Storage Devices

You can change this boot order using the Setup Utility (BIOS) and the SCSI Configuration Utility during the boot proc ess. Refer to Ch apter 10 "Configuri ng the HP NetServer" for more information.

Hardware Mirroring

You may choose to mirror the drives (RAID 1) in the HP NetServer’s Hot Swap Mass St or age Cage. Howe ver, doing so throu gh softwar e slows down di sk access time, but using hardware mirroring can help speed up disk access time.

Hardware mirroring requires a dual channel SCSI controller, wh ich allows you to use the two embedded SC S I control lers (SCS I A an d B) or install an HP NetRAID

(Drive Array Controller – DAC) PCI board to control the two mirrored channels. To use hardware mirroring on the SCSI Hot Swap cage you must install the optional dupl ex acces sor y board. Ensure you use a PCI DA C board with an LV D compatible interface.

CAUTION To pr event damage to the interface or the PCI DAC board,

don't use a HVD (High Voltage Differential) DAC board.

Chapter 4 Installing Mass Storage Devices

Mass Stora ge Guidelin es

• General Gui delines

◊ Use care when unpacking and handling the disk drives.

The har d di s k dr ives are very susceptible to mechani cal shock and can be easily damaged by a drop as short as one-quarter of an inch. If the drop would crack an egg, it will damage the drive.

◊ Do not stack drives. ◊ Do not use high voltage differential (HVD) SCSI devices on any of the

SCSI chan nels or dam age will occur. Use onl y Single- Ended (SE) or Low-Voltage Differential (LVD) devices.

• SCSI Device Selection

◊ Ensur e the SCSI devices you in s tall in both Hot Swap and non-Hot

Swap-drive bays do not have terminations installed. The non-Hot Swap SCSI dr ives are connected to a termina ted cable an d the Hot Swap cage provides the termination for any unused slots in the cage.

◊ Use only HP LVD SCSI 3.5-inch hard disk drives for the Hot Swap

drive cage.

You can use a combination of half-height (1.6-inch) and low-profile (1.0 inch) dri ves in the Hot Swap ca g e, but be sur e to use spacers and filler panels to cover any openings. The HP Hot Swap drives come set for LVD SCSI operation and wi th out device ID or termination. Do not chang e these settings.

◊ Use only 3.5-inch or 5.25-inch single-ended (SE) SCSI devices for the

non-Hot Swap shelves.

The available space in the non-Hot Swap shelves supports two half-height (1.6 inch) devices. You can order HP mounting kits for removable media devices or trays for 3.5-inch hard disk drives (half-height). You may use narrow/wide SCSI adapters on these devices.

CAUTION When installing Hot S wap drives, you must install one drive

spacer with each ha lf-height (1.6 in ch ) dr ive and ensure there are no drive gaps in t he cage to provid e prope r ventilation.

Chapter 4 Installing Mass Storage Devices

• SCSI Drive Addressing

◊ The drives in the Hot Swap Cage are automatically assigned SCSI

addresses by the HP NetServer.

The Hot Swap drive’s addr ess is depen dent on its position within the drive cage and the combination of half-height and low-profile SCSI drives installed. Refer to Figures 4-2 through 4-5 for the automatic SCSI ID assignments.

The Hot Swa p Cage also supports the installation of a Duplex board, which divides the cage in two equal halves. The only drive addresses available in this case are 0 through 2. Refer to Figures 4-4 and 4-5 for duplexed cage drive examples.

◊ The non-hot swap SCSI devices use SCSI IDs from 0 through 15, with

the fo llowing restr ictions : a. Narrow SCSI devices must be addr essed 0 thr ough 6. b. Wide SCSI devices may be addressed 0 through 15, except for ID 7,

which is held by the SCSI controller.

The non-hot swap S C SI devices are all conn ected to th e sa me cable, which is termin ated and connected to one SCSI controller . Each SCSI device connect ed to the non-hot swap device connector mu st h ave a unique address.

• SCSI Device Installation Order

The Hot Swa p Cage's supported hard drive configurations for both HP NetServer models are shown in Figures 4-2 through 4-5. The arrows indi cate the ord er of hard dri ve installation.

◊ Start from the bottom of the Hot Swap drive cage when adding hard

drives in the HP NetServer LC 2000. If you ar e u sing one or more filler panels, insert th em at the top of the

cage. These configurations may use filler panels and drive spacers to close up the front of the Hot Swap mass storage cage. If there are gaps in the ca ge, the dri ves may not receive th e prop er venti lation and cou ld suffer therma l d amage.

◊ Start from the left of the Hot Swap drive cage wh en adding hard drives

in the HP Net S erver LC 200 0r . If you ar e u sing one or more filler panels, insert th e panels on th e right

side of the drive cage. These configurations may use filler panels and drive spacers to close up the front of the Hot Swap mass storage cage.

Chapter 4 Installing Mass Storage Devices

If th er e ar e ga ps in the cage, the dri ves may not recei v e the pr op er ventilation and could suffer ther mal damage.

• Filler Panels and Spacers

◊ Ensure all empty slots in the Hot Swap drive cage have filler panels

inserted to ensure proper airflow.

If there are fewer drives than the Hot Swap drive cage supports, a 1-inch filler panel must be inserted in each empty disk location. The filler panels ensure the drive cage has the proper ventilation and airflow. The filler panel will be removed before inserting a new drive.

◊ Ensure all smaller spaces in the Hot Swap drive cage have the smaller

filler panels inserted to ensure properly airflow.

If there is a mix of 1-inch and 1.6-inch drives in the drive cage, you

may need to add ½-inch drive spacers. The smaller drive spacer fills the gap between adjacent drives or between a drive and a filler panel. Disk spacers can be mounted on 1-inch low-profile drives or 1.6-inch half-height dr ives, so a drive spacer and low-profile drive are the same size a s a half-height drive, and a dri ve sp acer and a half- heigh t dr ive are as large as two low-profile drives.

CAUTION To prevent ove rheating or ex ces sive elect romagnetic

radiation, use the filler panels and spacers to fill the gaps between Hot Swap hard drives. If the filler panels or spacers are left ou t of the drive shelves, thermal d amage and/or excessi v e EMI could occur.

• Hot Swap Drive Cage Con figurations

The possible Hot Swap Drive Cage Con figurations are summarized in Figures 4-2 through 4-5 for the HP NetServer’s LC 2000r and LC 2000 respectively. There are vari ous SCSI cable configurations associated with the syst em and, if incorrect ly configured, could cause dam ag e to the HP NetServer and the SCSI devices. Refer to Figures 4-6 and 4-7.

Hot Swap Configuration Options

The Hot Swap Mass Storage Cage has various config ur at i ons which affects the options installed and cable configurations. If the Duplex board is installed on the mass storage cage, the drive and cable configuration s differ from those shown without the duplex board installed. Compare Figures 4-2 and 4-4 or 4-3 and 4-5.

Cabling Configurations

There are various SCSI cable configurations associated with the HP NetServer and if al l p ossible SCSI d evi ces and connecti ons are used, then an ad di tional SCSI disk controll er is requir ed . Ta ble 4-1 describes th e various ca bl es and where ea ch one can be con nected . The exampl e configur ations sh own in F igures 4-6 and 4-7 assume the maximum number of SCSI devices and connections.

Do not connect the SCSI terminated ca bl e ( # 3) to the Hot Swap Ma ss Storage Cage’s connector A or B, or unreliable operation will occur.

The Hot Swap Mass Storage Cage can have up to six drives with only one SCSI ca bl e connect ed .

The Hot Swap Mass Storage Cage can also be split into two equal parts, with up to three drives each (requires duplex board accessor y ki t), and u ses two independen t SCSI busses, whi ch req uire two SCSI cables.

If the duplex board is installed, the two embedded SCSI controllers, a dual channel SCSI disk contr oller board, or a DAC board must be used to control the two halves of the Hot Swap Mass Storage Cage.

6 Installing Additional Boards

Introduction

This chapter describes how to install accessory boards into the system board of the HP NetServer LC 2000/2000r. The system board provides up to six PCI slots (P1 through P6), two of which are 64-bit slots.

Tested PCI Boar ds

For a list of tested PCI boards, ch eck for compa tibility in Configuration Assist ant on the Navigator CD-ROM or look for the Hardware Tested Products list for the HP NetServer LC 2000/2000r under the Service and Support topic for the specific

NOS used in the NetServer at HP’s web site:

http://www.hp.com/netserver/support/compatibility

CAUTION Some a ccessory board outputs ma y exceed U.S. National

Electrical code (NFPA 70) Class 2 or limited power source limi ts and must use appropri ate interconnecting cabl ing in accord ance with the National Electr ical Code. (All Hewlett-Packard boards comply with Class 2.)

Tools Requ ir ed

The foll o wing tools are required for installation or removal of th e acces sori es boards in the HP NetServer LC 2000/2000r:

• 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 str ap with gr ound le ad.

Remote Control Card

The HP NetServer LC 2000/2000r may use the HP TopTools Remote Control card in any PCI slot on the system board. The Remote Control card supports HP TopTools software. An I information on use of the HP TopTools Remote Control function, see Ch apter 11, "Information Assist ant , " and Chapter 10, "Config urin g the HP NetServer."

C connector is provided on th e sys tem boar d. For more

Chapter 6 Installing Add itio nal Boar d s

Boot Priority

This section details the HP NetServer’s boot order by highest to lowest priority. The NetSe rver’s bo ot order ( BIOS sea rch order for a bo ot drive) s hould be considered when selecting a slot on the system boar d. This is especially important if you are i nstalling a SCS I disk controller board. The disk controller’s boot

priority is set by the boar d’s slot location. See Figure 6-1. The on-board SCSI consists of two channels, A and B. Channel A is typically

used to control the Hot Swap SCSI drives. Channel B is typically used to control the int ernal non-hot swap S C S I dr ives. On each S C S I channel, th e s yst em scans for a boot de vice starting a t device ID 0 and wor ks up from t here.

By defaul t th e Ne tServer s e a rche s for boot devices in th is ord er:

1. IDE CD-ROM drive

2. Flexible disk drive

3. SCSI A bus (typically the Hot Swap Mass Storage Cage)

4. SCSI B bus (typically the non- Hot Swap int ernal SCSI devices)

5. PCI slot P1

6. PCI slot P2

10. PCI slot P6

7. PCI slot P3

8. PCI slot P4

9. PCI slot P5

NOTE The NetServer can be configured to boot fr om a P C I a cces s ory

board or PCI-based DAC, instead of the onboard SCSI channe ls, by pu tting the boar d in on e of the PC I slots. Th e SCSI Con figuration Utility can be used to configure the NetServer to ski p over the onboard SC SI channels and select a PCI slot inste ad, when scanni ng for boot devices . For instructions, refer to the SCSI Con figuration Utility in Chapter 10, "Configuring the HP NetServer."

Chapter 6 Installing Add itio nal Boar d s

IRQ Settings

The IRQ settings are automatically assigned and don’t require user intervention. PCI boards have the capability of sharing hardware interrupts (IRQs) with other PCI boards, as stated in the PCI specifications, but this does not always prove to be true between board manufa c turers. To solve th is problem requi res an in- depth knowledge of a server’s implementation to place a PCI board in a slot that would not conflict with another PCI board’s IRQ setting.

The HP NetServer provides various ways to automatically share interrupts in the NetSer ver. The sharing mode can be select ed u nder th e h eading "Sharing Algorithms" in the Setup Utility. The IRQs are automatically assigned during boot up for each PCI slot and embedded device in the NetServer, avoiding any IRQ conflicts and providi ng th e be s t performan c e. This feature a lso provide s a wa y of manually assigning IRQs when disabling the Sharing Algorithm feature. Refer to Chapter 10, "Configuring the HP NetServer," for more information.

These IRQ assignments tri g g er the instal l ed NOS to enable t he APIC (Advan ced Programmable Interr upt Controller) which takes control of the IRQ sharing scheme. You are not required to manually assign interrupts for the following NOSs:

Microsoft’s NT 4.0

Novell’s NetWare 5

SCO UnixWare 7

NOTE SCO Un i x War e 7 requires in stall at i on of the OSMP module to

enable the APIC mode.

System B oard PCI Sl ots

All accessor y boards plu g into the six sl ot s on s yst em board at the rear of th e NetServer’s cha ssi s. See Fig ur e 6- 1.

• Four PCI slots (P1-P4) support full length 32-bit boards at a clock rate of

33 MHz. These slots only support +5 VDC power and Universal boards. These slots have keys in the up per ha lf of the boa rd sl ot to pr eve nt 3.3 volt boards from being inserted into the slots.

NOTE Un iversa l boards automati cally switch to accept po wer from a

+5.0 or +3.3 VDC source and have a key slot in the connector to allow installation in any of the 6 PCI slots.

Chapter 6 Installing Add itio nal Boar d s

Introduction

This chapter tells how to mount the HP NetServer in an HP System/E or System/U rack. The illustration below shows the characteristics of the System/E and System/ U racks. I f you have the old er HP Systems r ack, see Chapter 13, "Alternative Rack Mounting," for instructions. (If you are mounting the NetServer in a non-HP rack, refer to the separate rack-mounting guide for third-party racks. It is pack ed in the accessories tray in th e HP NetServer’s shipping box.)

NOTE If you want to put your NetServer into a third-party rack not

mentioned in the guide, you may be able to find relevant documentation on HP’s web site at the following URL:

http://www.hp.com/netserver/support

The HP NetServer r ack mount kit requir es five EIA uni ts of space in the rack. Before mounting the NetServer, plan the NetServer’s location in the rack relative to other rack components. Proper placement is vital both for safety and operating efficiency. For more deta ils, see the HP Rack Installation Road Map and the HP NetServer LC 2000r Rack Cabling Reference Guide.

NOTE If the HP NetServer is completely configured by the vendor

before delivery to the customer, then mounting the HP NetServer in the rack may be the final step in the installation procedu re. If th e vendor con fi g ures the HP NetServer at the customer’s site, installation of the network operating system and other software may occur after the HP NetSer ver is mount ed in the rack.

WARNING The HP NetServer weighs 80 lbs. (36 kg) fully loaded. To

prevent an acci d en t, use two peopl e when pl a cing the NetSer ver into the rack.

CAUTION If other ra ck component s are to be mount ed in the rack below

the HP NetServer, install those comp onents before starting t o mount the NetServer.

Tools Requ ir ed

To assem bl e the rack mount kit and install the HP NetServer on it, you need th es e tools.

• T-15 and T-25 Torx Drivers

• Number 2 Phillips screwdriver

Marking pen

Chapter 8 Rack-Mountin g the HP Net Serv er

Safety Pr ecauti ons

Always keep the following safety and environmental issues in mind, especially if you install th e HP NetS erver in a non-HP rack environ ment:

Optimum Operating Environment – The optimum operating conditions for the HP NetServer is in an environmental controlled computer room with a temperature range of 20 to 22°C (68 to 72°F) at 40 to 60% relative humidity.

• Maximum Ambient Temperature - Ensure the maximum ambient

temper ature does not exceed 3 5°C (95° F).

• Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature - The ambient operating

temperatur e within a closed or multi-unit rack assembly is likely to exceed the room's ambient temper ature. En s ure the temp er ature wit hin the rack itsel f d oes not exceed 35°C (95°F).

• Reduced Air Flow - As you moun t eq u ipment in the rack, ensure you

allow enough air fl ow for safe operation of the equipment. The NetServer's fans will only operate correctly if both front and rear door s of the rack allow free air flow (perforated openings), or are removed.

• Mechanical Loading - Uneven m echanical loading within the ra ck can

cause hazardou s conditions. To prevent this in your installation plans , place the heaviest components in the bottom of the rack, mounting all components as lo w in the rack as is p rac tical.

• Circuit Overloadin g - Ensure the total configuration of equipment in the

rack does not overload the supply circuit. To this end, check the nameplate ratings on all equipment. Consider the effect of circuit overloading on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.

• Reliable Earth Grounding - Maintain rel iable earth groundi ng of

rack-mounted equipment. Give particular attention to supply connections that ar e not direct connecti ons to the branch circu it: for ex ample, using non-HP power strips.

Chapter 8 Rack-Mountin g the HP Net Serv er

Preparing the Rack

The colu mn adapt er s an d r a ck n u ts must be conn ected to the rack befor e mounting the sl ide mechan ism. Once the slides ar e correctl y mounted, then the HP NetSer ver LC 2000r can be installin g into the rack . A car d boa rd rack mounting template comes with the HP NetServer. The template iden tifies the column adapter and rack n ut locations on the r ack.
