NMI jumper
The NMI jumper allows administrators to perform a memory dump before performing a hard reset. Crash
dump analysis is an essential part of eliminating reliability problems, such as hangs or crashes in
operating systems, device drivers, and applications. Many crashes freeze a system, requiring you to do a
hard reset. Resetting the system erases any information that would support root cause analysis.
Systems running Microsoft® Windows® operating systems experience a blue screen trap when the
operating system crashes. When this happens, Microsoft® recommends that system administrators
perform an NMI event by pressing a dump switch. The NMI event enables a hung system to become
responsive again.

System LEDs and internal health LED combinations
When the internal health LED on the front panel illuminates either amber or red, the server is experiencing
a health event. Combinations of illuminated system LEDs and the internal health LED indicate system
status.
The front panel health LEDs indicate only the current hardware status. In some situations, HP SIM may
report server status differently than the health LEDs because the software tracks more system attributes.

).
When installing the server, select a location that meets the environmental standards described in this
section.
Space and airflow requirements
Tower server
Setup 21
In a tower configuration, leave at least a 7.6-cm (3-in) clearance space at the front and back of the server
for proper ventilation.
Rack server
To allow for servicing and adequate airflow, observe the following space and airflow requirements when
deciding where to install a rack:
• Leave a minimum clearance of 63.5 cm (25 in) in front of the rack.
• Leave a minimum clearance of 76.2 cm (30 in) behind the rack.
• Leave a minimum clearance of 121.9 cm (48 in) from the back of the rack to the back of another
rack or row of racks.
HP servers draw in cool air through the front door and expel warm air through the rear door. Therefore,
the front and rear rack doors must be adequately ventilated to allow ambient room air to enter the
cabinet, and the rear door must be adequately ventilated to allow the warm air to escape from the
cabinet.
CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and damage to the equipment, do not block the
When vertical space in the rack is not filled by a server or rack component, the gaps between the
components cause changes in airflow through the rack and across the servers. Cover all gaps with
blanking panels to maintain proper airflow.
ventilation openings.
CAUTION: Always use blanking panels to fill empty vertical spaces in the rack. This
arrangement ensures proper airflow. Using a rack without blanking panels results in improper
cooling that can lead to thermal damage.
The 9000 and 10000 Series Racks provide proper server cooling from flow-through perforations in the
front and rear doors that provide 64 percent open area for ventilation.
CAUTION: When using a Compaq branded 7000 Series rack, you must install the high
airflow rack door insert [P/N 327281-B21 (42U) or P/N 157847-B21 (22U)] to provide
proper front-to-back airflow and cooling.
CAUTION: If a third-party rack is used, observe the following additional requirements to ensure
adequate airflow and to prevent damage to the equipment:
• Front and rear doors—If the 42U rack includes closing front and rear doors, you must allow
5,350 sq cm (830 sq in) of holes evenly distributed from top to bottom to permit adequate
airflow (equivalent to the required 64 percent open area for ventilation).
• Side—The clearance between the installed rack component and the side panels of the rack
must be a minimum of 7 cm (2.75 in).
Temperature requirements
To ensure continued safe and reliable equipment operation, install or position the system in a wellventilated, climate-controlled environment.
The maximum recommended ambient operating temperature (TMRA) for most server products is 35°C
(95°F). The temperature in the room where the rack is located must not exceed 35°C (95°F).
Setup 22
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 or to increase the
internal rack temperature 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 NFPA-75, 1992
(code for Protection of Electronic Computer/Data Processing Equipment). For electrical power ratings on
options, refer to the product rating label or the user documentation supplied with that option.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not
overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack. Consult the electrical
When installing more than one server, you may need 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.
authority having jurisdiction over wiring and installation requirements of your facility.
CAUTION: Protect the server from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a
regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS). This device protects the hardware from damage
caused by power surges and voltage spikes and keeps the system in operation during a power
failure.
• Do not allow the overall system AC current load to exceed 80 percent 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.
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 NFPA 70, 1999 Edition (National Electric Code), Article 250,
as well as any 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

Memory options
This server contains eight FBDIMM slots. You can expand server memory by installing supported
Memory configurations
Registered DDR-2 FBDIMMs.
The server supports the following Advanced Memory Protection (AMP) options to optimize server
availability.
• Advanced ECC supporting up to 16 GB of active memory using 2-GB FBDIMMs.
• Online Spare Memory providing additional protection against degrading FBDIMMs supporting up to
14 GB of active memory and 2 GB of online spare memory utilizing 2-GB FBDIMMs.
Maximum memory capacities for all AMP modes will increase with the availability of 4-GB and 8-GB
FBDIMMs, including a maximum of 64 GB in Advanced ECC mode. For the latest memory configuration
information, refer to the QuickSpecs on the HP website (http://www.hp.com
The Advanced Memory Protection option is configured in RBSU. By default, the server is set to Advanced
ECC mode. For more information, refer to HP ROM-Based Setup Utility. If the configured AMP mode is not
supported by the installed FBDIMM configuration, the system boots in Advanced ECC mode.
).
The following configuration requirements apply to all AMP modes:
• FBDIMMS must be ECC Registered DDR-2 SDRAM FBDIMMs.
• FBDIMMs must be installed in pairs.
• FBDIMMS must be populated as specified for each AMP memory mode.
Advanced ECC memory
Advanced ECC memory is the default memory protection mode for this server. In Advanced ECC, the
server is protected against correctable memory errors. The server provides notification if the level of
correctable errors exceeds a pre-defined threshold rate. The server does not fail because of correctable
memory errors. Advanced ECC provides additional protection over Standard ECC because it is possible
to correct certain memory errors that would otherwise be uncorrectable and result in a server failure.
Whereas standard ECC can correct single-bit memory errors, Advanced ECC can correct single-bit
memory errors and multi-bit memory errors if all failed bits are on the same DRAM device on the
FBDIMM.
In addition to general configuration requirements, Advanced ECC memory also has the following
configuration requirements:
• FBDIMMs must be installed in pairs unless operating in single-FBDIMM mode. The server supports
single-FBDIMM mode only in FBDIMM slot 1A.
• FBDIMMs must be installed in sequential order, beginning with bank A.
In Advanced ECC mode, FBDIMMs must be populated as specified in the following table, unless a single
DIMM is used:

2B and 6B
Online spare memory configuration
Online spare memory provides protection against degrading FBDIMMs by reducing the likelihood of
uncorrectable memory errors.
An understanding of single-rank and dual-rank FBDIMMs is required to understand memory usage in
online spare mode. FBDIMMs can either be single-rank or dual-rank. Certain FBDIMM configuration
requirements are based on these classifications. A dual-rank FBDIMM is similar to having two separate
FBDIMMs, or ranks, on the same module. Although only a single FBDIMM module, a dual-rank FBDIMM
acts as two separate FBDIMMs. The purpose of dual-rank FBDIMMs is to provide the largest capacity
FBDIMM for the current DRAM technology. If the current DRAM technology allows for 2-GB single-rank
FBDIMMs, a dual-rank FBDIMM using the same technology would be 4-GB.
In online spare mode, a single rank of memory acts as the spare memory. For single-rank FBDIMMs, the
entire FBDIMM acts as the spare memory. For a dual-rank FBDIMM, only half of the FBDIMM acts as the
spare memory while the other half is available for operating system and application usage.
3C and 7C
4D and 8D
If one of the non-spare FBDIMMs receives correctable memory errors at a higher rate than a specific
threshold, the server automatically copies the memory contents of the degraded rank to the online spare
rank. The server then deactivates the failing rank and automatically switches over to the online spare.
Because FBDIMMs that experience a high rate of correctable memory errors have a higher probability of
receiving an uncorrectable memory error, this effectively reduces the likelihood of uncorrectable memory
errors that would result in server downtime.
Online spare FBDIMM configuration requirements (in addition to general configuration requirements):
• When only bank A is being used, it must be fully populated with dual-rank FBDIMMs.
• For optimum memory usage, HP recommends all FBDIMMs be the same size with the same HP part
number. If different sized FBDIMMs are used, a portion of the installed memory may not be utilized.
In online spare mode, FBDIMMs must be populated as specified in the following table:
Configuration Bank A
1A and 5A
1* X — — —
2 X X — —
3 X X X X
* Configuration 1 is only supported if using bank A, populated with dual-rank FBDIMMs.

Symptom information
Before troubleshooting a server problem, collect the following information:
• What events preceded the failure? After which steps does the problem occur?
• What has been changed since the time the server was working?
• Did you recently add or remove hardware or software? If so, did you remember to change the
appropriate settings in the server setup utility, if necessary?
• How long has the server exhibited problem symptoms?
• If the problem occurs randomly, what is the duration or frequency?
Troubleshooting 79
To answer these questions, the following information may be useful:
• Run HP Insight Diagnostics (on page 75) and use the survey page to view the current configuration
or to compare it to previous configurations.
• Refer to your hardware and software records for information.
• Refer to server LEDs and their statuses.
Prepare the server for diagnosis
1. Be sure the server is in the proper operating environment with adequate power, air conditioning,
and humidity control. Refer to the server documentation for required environmental conditions.
2. Record any error messages displayed by the system.
3. Remove all diskettes and CDs from the media drives.
4. Power down the server and peripheral devices if you will be diagnosing the server offline. Always
perform an orderly shutdown, if possible. This means you must:
a. Exit any applications.
b. Exit the operating system.
c. Power down the server (on page 17).
5. Disconnect any peripheral devices not required for testing (any devices not necessary to power up
the server). Do not disconnect the printer if you want to use it to print error messages.
6. Collect all tools and utilities, such as a Torx screwdriver, loopback adapters, ESD wrist strap, and
software utilities, necessary to troubleshoot the problem.
o You must have the appropriate Health Drivers and Management Agents installed on the server.
NOTE: To verify the server configuration, connect to the System Management homepage and
select Version Control Agent. The VCA gives you a list of names and versions of all installed
HP drivers, Management Agents, and utilities, and whether they are up to date.
o HP recommends you have access to the SmartStart CD for value-added software and drivers
required during the troubleshooting process.
o HP recommends you have access to the server documentation for server-specific information.

devices, including computers, generate RF energy incidental to their intended function and are, therefore,
covered by these rules. These rules place computers and related peripheral devices into two classes, A
and B, depending upon their intended installation. Class A devices are those that may reasonably be
expected to be installed in a business or commercial environment. Class B devices are those that may
reasonably be expected to be installed in a residential environment (for example, personal computers).
The FCC requires devices in both classes to bear a label indicating the interference potential of the device
as well as additional operating instructions for the user.
FCC rating label
The FCC rating label on the device shows the classification (A or B) of the equipment. Class B devices
have an FCC logo or ID on the label. Class A devices do not have an FCC logo or ID on the label. After
