Required Tools
You need the following items for some procedures:
•
Torx T-15 tool (provided inside the server)
•
HP Insight Diagnostics software ("HP Insight Diagnostics" on page 88
Safety Considerations
Before performing service procedures, review all the safety information.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge
To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow
when setting up the system or handling parts. 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
device.
To prevent electrostatic damage:
• Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe
containers.
)
14 HP ProLiant DL380 Generation 4 Server Maintenance and Service Guide
•
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at staticfree 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.
Server Warnings and Cautions
Before installing a server, be sure that you understand the following warnings
and cautions.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage
to the equipment:
Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding
•
plug is an important safety feature.
•
Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet
that is easily accessible at all times.
•
Unplug the power cord from the power supply to disconnect
power to the equipment.
•
Do not route the power cord where it can be walked on or
pinched by items placed against it. Pay particular attention to
the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the cord extends
from the server.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot
surfaces, allow the drives and the internal system components to
cool before touching them.
Removal and Replacement Procedures 15
CAUTION: Do not operate the server for long periods without
the access panel. Operating the server without the access panel results
in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal
damage.
Preparation Procedures
To access some components and perform certain service procedures, you must
perform one or more of the following procedures:
• Extend the server from the rack ("Extending the Server from the Rack" on
page 16
If you are performing service procedures in an HP, Compaq branded, telco,
or third-party rack cabinet, you can use the locking feature of the rack rails to
support the server and gain access to internal components.
For more information about telco rack solutions, refer to the
RackSolutions.com website (http://www.racksolutions.com/hp

Removal and Replacement Procedures 31
To replace the component, reverse the removal procedure.
IMPORTANT: The battery pack may have a low charge when installed.
In this case, a POST error message is displayed when the server is
powered up, indicating that the battery pack is temporarily disabled. No
action is necessary on your part. The internal circuitry automatically
recharges the batteries and enables the battery pack. This process may
take up to 4 hours. During this time, the cache module will function
properly, but without the performance advantage of the battery pack.
NOTE: The data protection and the time limit also apply if a power
outage occurs. When power is restored to the system, an initialization
process writes the preserved data to the hard drives.
Recovering Data from the Battery-Backed Write Cache
If the server fails, you can recover any data temporarily trapped in the BBWC by
using the following procedure.
CAUTION: Before starting this procedure, read the
information about protecting against electrostatic discharge ("Preventing
Electrostatic Discharge" on page 13
).
1. Perform one of the following:
− Set up a recovery server station using an identical server model. Do not
install any internal drives or BBWC in this server. (This is the preferred
option.)
− Find a server that has enough empty drive bays to accommodate all the
drives from the failed server and that meets all the other requirements for
drive and array migration.
2. Power down the failed server ("Powering Down the Server" on page 17
). If
any data is trapped in the cache module, an amber LED on the module blinks
every 15 seconds.
CAUTION: Do not detach the cable that connects the battery
pack to the cache module. Detaching the cable causes any unsaved
data in the cache module to be lost.
3. Transfer the hard drives from the failed server to the recovery server station.
32 HP ProLiant DL380 Generation 4 Server Maintenance and Service Guide
4. Remove the BBWC [cache module ("Smart Array 6i Cache Module" on page
28
) and battery pack ("Battery-Backed Write Cache Battery Pack" on page
)] from the failed server.

5. Perform one of the following:
− Install the BBWC into an empty BBWC DIMM socket on the system
board of the recovery server.
− Install the BBWC into an empty BBWC DIMM socket on any Smart
Array 641 or 642 controller in the recovery server.
6. Power up the recovery server. A 1759 POST message is displayed, stating
that valid data was flushed from the cache. This data is now stored on the
drives in the recovery server. You can now transfer the drives (and
controller, if one was used) to another server.

Automatic Server Recovery
ASR is a feature that causes the system to restart when a catastrophic operating
system error occurs, such as a blue screen, ABEND, or panic. A system fail-safe
timer, the ASR timer, starts when the System Management driver, also known as
the Health Driver, is loaded. When the operating system is functioning properly,
the system periodically resets the timer. However, when the operating system
fails, the timer expires and restarts the server.
ASR increases server availability by restarting the server within a specified time
after a system hang or shutdown. At the same time, the HP SIM console notifies
you by sending a message to a designated pager number that ASR has restarted
the system. You can disable ASR from the HP SIM console or through RBSU.
HP Systems Insight Manager

NMI Switch
The NMI switch 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.
Chassis ID Switch
