Server Blade Component Identification

LEDs

The system contains several sets of LEDs that indicate the status and settings of hardware components. Use the following sections to determine the location and functions of LEDs on these components:

•ProLiant BL20p Generation 3 server blade front panel

•Hot-plug SCSI hard drive

Server Blade Front Panel

Seven LEDs on the front of the server blade indicate server status. Use Figure 1-1 and Table 1-1 to identify LED locations and functions.

*Actual NIC numeration depends on factors such as which operating system is installed on the server.

Hot-Plug SCSI Hard Drive

Each hot-plug SCSI hard drive has three LEDs located on the front of the drive. The LEDs provide activity, online, and fault status for each corresponding drive when configured as a part of an array and attached to a powered-on Smart Array controller. Their behavior may vary depending on the status of other drives in the array. Use Figure 1-2 and Table 1-2 to identify LED locations and functions.

WARNING: Before removing a hard drive, read the hot-plug hard drive replacement section in the HP ProLiant Servers Troubleshooting Guide.

•The first LED indicates drive activity status (1), where on indicates activity and off indicates no activity by the drive.

•The second LED indicates online status (2), where flashing indicates an active online condition and off indicates an inactive online condition.

•The third LED indicates fault status (3), where flashing indicates fault-process activity and off indicates a no-fault-process activity.

Server Blade Operations

Powering Up the Server Blade

By default, server blades are set to power up automatically when installed in a server blade enclosure. If you changed this setting, use one of the following methods to power up the server blade:

•Power button

—A momentary press initiates a power-up request. The system detects if power is available from the power subsystem to power on the server blade. If power is available, then the server blade powers on.

—A long press, 5 or more seconds, initiates a power-up override. The server blade is powered on without detecting available power.

CAUTION: Always observe iLO alerts before initiating a power-up override to prevent a hot-plug power supply fault and possible loss of system power. Refer to the HP Integrated Lights-Out User Guide for more information.

NOTE: You may choose to perform a power-up override to power up a server blade and to override the power-up request function when the management modules are not in use and when you know that sufficient power is available.

•Virtual power button features through the iLO remote console

—A momentary power-up selection

—A hold power-up selection

Server Blade Operations

For more information about iLO, refer to Chapter 5, “Server Blade Configuration and Utilities.”

Powering Down the Server Blade

The ProLiant BL20p Generation 3 server blade can be powered down in either of the following ways:

•Use the virtual power button feature in the iLO remote console to power down the server blade from a remote location. Be sure that the server blade is in standby mode by observing that the power LED is amber. For iLO information and procedures, refer to the HP Integrated Lights-Out User Guide.

•Press the power button on the front of the server blade. Be sure that the server blade is in standby mode by observing that the power LED is amber. This process may take 30 seconds, during which time some internal circuitry remains active.

IMPORTANT: To remove power completely form the server blade, remove the server blade from the server blade enclosure.

Server Blade Setup

Accessing Internal Server Blade Components

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not power up the server blade with the access panel removed.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the internal system components to cool before touching them.

CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. Properly ground yourself before beginning any installation procedure. Refer to Appendix D, “Electrostatic Discharge,” for more information.

IMPORTANT: If the server blade is not installed in the server blade enclosure or is not receiving power through the diagnostic station, begin with step 4.

1.Identify the proper server blade in the server blade enclosure.

2.Remove power from the server blade. Refer to “Powering Down the Server Blade” in Chapter 2, “Server Blade Operations.”

CAUTION: After you press the release button, the server blade is unlocked from the server blade enclosure. Use both hands to support the server blade when you remove it from the rack.

3.Remove the server blade from the server blade enclosure. Refer to “Removing a Server Blade from a Server Blade Enclosure” in this chapter.

HP ProLiant BL20p Generation 3 Server Blade Setup and Installation Guide

Server Blade Setup

4.Place the server blade on a flat, level surface.

5.Remove the access panel. Refer to “Removing the Server Blade Access Panel” in this chapter.

Removing the Server Blade Access Panel

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the internal system components to cool before touching them.

CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. Properly ground yourself before beginning any installation procedure. Refer to Appendix D, “Electrostatic Discharge,” for more information.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not power up the server blade with the access panel removed.

1.Loosen the thumbscrew on the rear of the server blade (1).

2.Slide the access panel about 1 cm (3/8 in) toward the rear of the unit and lift the panel to remove it (2).

Figure 3-1: Removing the access panel

3-2	HP ProLiant BL20p Generation 3 Server Blade Setup and Installation Guide

Server Blade Setup

To install the access panel, reverse the removal procedure.

Removing a Server Blade Blank

CAUTION: Always populate the server blade enclosure bays with either a server blade or a server blade blank. Unpopulated bays can lead to improper cooling and thermal damage.

1.Press the release buttons (1).

2.Slide the server blade blank out of the bay (2).

Figure 3-2: Removing a server blade blank

NOTE: Store the server blade blank for future use.

Installing a Server Blade

Before installing server blades for the first time, define the hardware configuration and server blade deployment process. Refer to Chapter 5, “Server Blade Configuration and Utilities.”

HP ProLiant BL20p Generation 3 Server Blade Setup and Installation Guide

3-3

Server Blade Setup

CAUTION: Always populate the server blade enclosure bays with either a server blade or server blade blank. Unpopulated bays can lead to improper cooling and thermal damage.

1.Align the keyed end of the server blade with the guide at the end of a bay on the server blade enclosure.

IMPORTANT: The server blade is keyed to fit only one way in the bay. If the server blade does not slide easily into the bay, be sure that the server blade is oriented properly.

2.Install the server blade by sliding the server blade fully into the bay (1).

3.Close the ejector lever (2).

Processors and Heatsinks

The ProLiant BL20p G3 server blade ships with one or two processors.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the internal system components to cool before touching them.

WARNING: This documentation assumes that the server blade is in a rack and not receiving power from a diagnostic station. If using a diagnostic station, be sure to disconnect the server blade from the diagnostic station before installing a processor.

CAUTION: Properly ground yourself before beginning any installation procedure. Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components.

CAUTION: Handle the processor with care. Do not bend or damage the pins beneath the processor.
