Fan mode behavior

• In nonredundant fan mode, a fan failure or a missing fan causes:

Component identification 21

◦ The system Health LED to flash amber.

◦ The operating system to orderly shutdown.

• In redundant fan mode:

◦ A fan rotor failure will switch the system to nonredundant fan mode.

This change is indicated by the Health LED flashing amber. The system continues to operate normally in this mode.

◦ A second fan rotor failure or a missing fan causes the operating system to orderly shutdown.

22 Component identification

Operations

This chapter describes the hardware operations carried out prior to and after installing or removing a hardware option, or performing a server maintenance or troubleshooting procedure.

Before performing these hardware operations, review and observe the server warnings and cautions.

Power up the server

To power up the server, use one of the following methods:

• Press the Power On/Standby button.

• Use the virtual power button through iLO.

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 iLO 5.

This method initiates a controlled remote shutdown of applications and the OS before the server enters standby mode.

Before proceeding, verify that the server is in standby mode by observing that the system power LED is amber.

Remove the server from the rack

WARNING: This server is heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment:

• Observe local occupational health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual material handling.

Operational requirements

Space and airflow requirements

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.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise 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 ventilation openings.

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.

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: 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).

Setup 37

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 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).

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 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. This device protects the hardware from damage caused by power surges and voltage spikes and keeps the system in operation during a power failure.

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 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.

Server warnings and cautions

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, electric shock, or damage to the equipment,

disconnect the power cord to remove power from the server. Pressing the Power On/Standby button does not shut off system power completely. Portions of the power supply and some internal circuitry remain active until AC power is removed.

38 Setup

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the internal

system components to cool before touching them.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or burns after removing the energy pack:

• Do not disassemble, crush, or puncture the energy pack.

• Do not short external contacts.

• Do not dispose of the energy pack in fire or water.

After power is disconnected, battery voltage might still be present for 1s to 160s.

CAUTION: Protect the from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a regulating UPS. This device protects the hardware from damage caused by power surges and voltage spikes and keeps the in operation during a power failure.

CAUTION: To prevent damage to electrical components, properly ground the server before beginning any installation procedure. Improper grounding can cause electrostatic discharge.

CAUTION: To avoid data loss, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that you back up all server data before installing or removing a hardware option, or performing a server maintenance or troubleshooting procedure.

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.

Rack warnings and cautions

WARNING: When all components are removed, the server weighs 13.5 kg (29.82 lb). When all

components are installed, the server can weigh up to 25.0 kg (55.00 lb).

Before configuring your rack solution, be sure to check the rack manufacturer weight limits and specifications. Failure to do so can result in physical injury or damage to the equipment and the facility.

Setup 39

WARNING: The server is heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, do the following:

• Observe local occupational health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual material handling.

• Get help to lift and stabilize the product during installation or removal, especially when the product is not fastened to the rails. The server weighs more than 13.5 kg (29.82 lb), so at least two people must lift the server into the rack together. An additional person may be required to help align the server if the server is installed higher than chest level.

• Use caution when installing the server in or removing the server from the rack.

• Adequately stabilized the rack before extending a component outside the rack. Extend only one component at a time. A rack may become unstable if more than one component is extended.

• Do not stack anything on top of rail-mounted component or use it as a work surface when extended from the rack.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, observe the following precautions:

• The leveling jacks are extended to the floor.

• The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks.

• The stabilizing feet are attached to the rack if it is a single-rack installation.

• The racks are coupled together in multiple-rack installations.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage when unloading a rack:

• At least two people are needed to safely unload the rack from the pallet. An empty 42U rack can weigh as much as 115 kg (253 lb), can stand more than 2.1 m (7 ft) tall, and might become unstable when being moved on its casters.

• Never stand in front of the rack when it is rolling down the ramp from the pallet. Always handle the rack from both sides.

CAUTION: Always plan the rack installation so that the heaviest item is on the bottom of the rack. Install the heaviest item first, and continue to populate the rack from the bottom to the top.

CAUTION: Before installing the server in a rack, be sure to properly scope the limitations of the rack. Before proceeding with the installation, consider the following:

• You must fully understand the static and dynamic load carrying capacity of the rack and be sure that it can accommodate the weight of the server.

• Be sure sufficient clearance exists for cabling, installation and removal of the server, and movement of the rack doors.

Electrostatic discharge

Be aware of the precautions you must follow when setting up the system or handling components. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or other staticsensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the system or component.

40 Setup

To prevent electrostatic damage:

• 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. 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.

HPE Trusted Platform Module 2.0 Gen10 option

Overview

Use these instructions to install and enable an HPE TPM 2.0 Gen10 Kit in a supported server. This option is not supported on Gen9 and earlier servers.

This procedure includes three sections:

1. Installing the Trusted Platform Module board.

2. Enabling the Trusted Platform Module.

3. Retaining the recovery key/password.

HPE TPM 2.0 installation is supported with specific operating system support such as Microsoft® Windows Server® 2012 R2 and later. For more information about operating system support, see the product QuickSpecs on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/info/qs). For more information about Microsoft® Windows® BitLocker Drive Encryption feature, see the Microsoft website (http://

www.microsoft.com).

CAUTION: If the TPM is removed from the original server and powered up on a different server, data

stored in the TPM including keys will be erased.

IMPORTANT: In UEFI Boot Mode, the HPE TPM 2.0 Gen10 Kit can be configured to operate as TPM

2.0 (default) or TPM 1.2 on a supported server. In Legacy Boot Mode, the configuration can be changed between TPM 1.2 and TPM 2.0, but only TPM 1.2 operation is supported.

HPE Trusted Platform Module 2.0 Guidelines

CAUTION: Always observe the guidelines in this document. Failure to follow these guidelines can cause

hardware damage or halt data access.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise SPECIAL REMINDER: Before enabling TPM functionality on this system, you must ensure that your intended use of TPM complies with relevant local laws, regulations and policies, and approvals or licenses must be obtained if applicable.

For any compliance issues arising from your operation/usage of TPM which violates the above mentioned requirement, you shall bear all the liabilities wholly and solely. Hewlett Packard Enterprise will not be responsible for any related liabilities.

Hardware options installation 93

When installing or replacing a TPM, observe the following guidelines:

• Do not remove an installed TPM. Once installed, the TPM becomes a permanent part of the system board.

• When installing or replacing hardware, Hewlett Packard Enterprise service providers cannot enable the TPM or the encryption technology. For security reasons, only the customer can enable these features.

• When returning a system board for service replacement, do not remove the TPM from the system board. When requested, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Service provides a TPM with the spare system board.

• Any attempt to remove the cover of an installed TPM from the system board can damage the TPM cover, the TPM, and the system board.

• If the TPM is removed from the original server and powered up on a different server, data stored in the TPM including keys will be erased.

• When using BitLocker, always retain the recovery key/password. The recovery key/password is required to complete Recovery Mode after BitLocker detects a possible compromise of system integrity.

• Hewlett Packard Enterprise is not liable for blocked data access caused by improper TPM use. For operating instructions, see the TPM documentation or the encryption technology feature documentation provided by the operating system.

Cabling

Cabling guidelines

The cable colors in the cabling diagrams used in this chapter are for illustration purposes only. Most of the server cables are black.

Observe the following guidelines when working with server cables.

Before connecting cables

• Note the port labels on the PCA components. Not all of these components are used by all servers:

◦ System board ports

◦ Drive and power supply backplane ports

◦ Expansion board ports (controllers, adapters, expanders, risers, and similar boards)

• Note the label near each cable connector. This label indicates the destination port for the cable connector.

• Some data cables are pre-bent. Do not unbend or manipulate the cables.

• To prevent mechanical damage or depositing oil that is present on your hands, and other contamination, do not touch the ends of the connectors.

When connecting cables

• Before connecting a cable to a port, lay the cable in place to verify the length of the cable.

• Use the internal cable management features to properly route and secure the cables.

• When routing cables, be sure that the cables are not in a position where they can be pinched or crimped.

• Avoid tight bend radii to prevent damaging the internal wires of a power cord or a server cable. Never bend power cords and server cables tight enough to cause a crease in the sheathing.

• Make sure that the excess length of cables are properly secured to avoid excess bends, interference issues, and airflow restriction.

• To prevent component damage and potential signal interference, make sure that all cables are in their appropriate routing position before installing a new component and before closing up the server after hardware installation/maintenance.

When disconnecting cables

• Grip the body of the cable connector. Do not pull on the cable itself because this action can damage the internal wires of the cable or the pins on the port.

• If a cable does not disconnect easily, check for any release latch that must be pressed to disconnect the cable.

Cabling 99

• Remove cables that are no longer being used. Retaining them inside the server can restrict airflow. If you intend to use the removed cables later, label and store them for future use.
