HP ProLiant DL380 Generation 4 Server Maintenance and Service Guide
August 2004 (Second Edition)
Part Number 359226-002
Audience Assumptions
This guide is for an experienced service technician. HP assumes you are qualified in the servicing
of computer equipment and trained in recognizing hazards in products with hazardous energy
levels and are familiar with weight and stability precautions for rack installations.
Server Cabling..............................................................................................................................67
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
).
).
• Power down the server ("Powering Down the Server" on page 17
).
If you must remove a server from a rack or a non-hot-plug component from a
server, power down the server.
• Remove the server from the rack ("Removing the Server from the Rack" on
page 18
).
If the rack environment, cabling configuration, or the server location in the
rack creates awkward conditions, remove the server from the rack.
16 HP ProLiant DL380 Generation 4 Server Maintenance and Service Guide
Extending the Server from the Rack
1. Pull down the quick release levers on each side of the server to release the
server from the rack.
2. Extend the server on the rack rails until the server rail-release latches engage.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or
equipment damage, be sure that the rack is adequately stabilized
before extending a component from the rack.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, be
careful when pressing the server rail-release latches and sliding
the server into the rack. The sliding rails could pinch your fingers.
3. After performing the installation or maintenance procedure, slide the server
back into the rack:
Removal and Replacement Procedures 17
a. Press the server rail-release latches and slide the server fully into rack.
b. Press the server firmly into the rack to secure it in place.
Powering Down the Server
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, electric
shock, or damage to the equipment, remove the power cord to
remove power from the server. The front panel Power On/Standby
button does not completely shut off system power. Portions of the
power supply and some internal circuitry remain active until AC
power is removed.
IMPORTANT: If installing a hot-plug device, it is not necessary to
power down the server.
1. Back up the server data.
2. Shut down the operating system as directed by the operating system
documentation.
3. If the server is installed in a rack, press the UID LED button on the front
panel (1). Blue LEDs illuminate on the front and rear panels of the server.
18 HP ProLiant DL380 Generation 4 Server Maintenance and Service Guide
4. Press the Power On/Standby button to place the server in standby mode (2).
When the server activates standby power mode, the system power LED
changes to amber.
5. If the server is installed in a rack, locate the server by identifying the
illuminated rear UID LED button.
6. Disconnect the power cords.
The system is now without power.
Removing the Server from the Rack
To remove the server from an HP, Compaq branded, telco, or third-party rack:
1. Power down the server ("Powering Down the Server" on page 17
2. Extend the server from the rack ("Extending the Server from the Rack" on
page 16
3. Disconnect the cabling and remove the server from the rack. For more
information, refer to the documentation that ships with the rack mounting
option.
4. Place the server on a sturdy, level surface.
