system configuration settings from both CMOS and NVRAM.
CAUTION: Clearing CMOS and/or NVRAM deletes configuration information. Be sure to
properly configure the server or data loss could occur.
NMI functionality
An NMI crash dump enables administrators to create crash dump files when a system is hung and not responding to traditional debug mechanisms.
Crash dump log analysis is an essential part of diagnosing reliability problems, such as hangs in operating systems, device drivers, and applications. Many crashes freeze a system, and the only available action for administrators is to cycle the system power. Resetting the system erases any information that could support problem analysis, but the NMI feature preserves that information by performing a memory dump before a hard reset.
To force the OS to invoke the NMI handler and generate a crash dump log, the administrator can use the iLO Virtual NMI feature.
For more information, see the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support/NMI).

Hot-plug fans
Component identification 16
CAUTION: To avoid damage to server components, all fan modules must be installed in fan bays
for any processor configuration.
For all processor configurations, the HP ProLiant DL560 Gen8 Server requires six fan modules for redundancy. A fan failure causes a loss of cooling redundancy. A second fan failure or a missing fan module causes an orderly shutdown of the server.
The server supports variable fan speeds. The fans operate at minimum speed until a temperature change requires a fan speed increase to cool the server.
The server shuts down in the following temperature-related scenarios:
• At POST and in the OS, iLO performs an orderly shutdown if a cautionary temperature level is detected.
If the server hardware detects a critical temperature level before an orderly shutdown occurs, the server performs an immediate shutdown.
• When the Thermal Shutdown feature is disabled in RBSU, iLO does not perform an orderly shutdown
when a cautionary temperature level is detected. Disabling this feature does not disable the server hardware from performing an immediate shutdown when a critical temperature level is detected.
CAUTION: A thermal event can damage server components when the Thermal Shutdown feature
is disabled in RBSU.
IMPORTANT: An immediate shutdown is a hardware-controlled function and it overrides any
firmware or software actions.

Optimum environment
When installing the server in a rack, select a location that meets the environmental standards described in this section.
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:
Setup 26
• 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.
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.
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.
CAUTION: When using a Compaq branded 7000 series rack, install the high airflow rack door
insert (PN 327281-B21 for 42U rack, PN 157847-B21 for 22U rack) 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).
IMPORTANT: The HP ProLiant DL560 Gen8 Server cable management arm is not supported on
Compaq branded 7000 series racks.
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
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.
• Do not allow the overall system AC current load to exceed 80% of the branch circuit AC current rating.
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.
• 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 power source, HP 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.
Connecting a DC power cable to a DC power source
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or energy hazards:
• This equipment must be installed by trained service personnel, as defined by the NEC and IEC
60950-1, Second Edition, the standard for Safety of Information Technology Equipment.
• Connect the equipment to a reliably grounded SELV source. An SELV source is a secondary
circuit that is designed so normal and single fault conditions do not cause the voltages to exceed a safe level (60 V direct current).
• The branch circuit overcurrent protection must be rated 20A.

WARNING: When installing a DC power supply, the ground wire must be connected before the
supply circuit and the earthing conductor, and also the point of earthing of the DC system. The
positive or negative leads.
WARNING: Remove power from the power supply before performing any installation steps or
maintenance on the power supply.
CAUTION: The server equipment connects the earthed conductor of the DC supply circuit to the
earthing conductor at the equipment. For more information, see the HP 750W Common Slot -48V DC Input Hot-Plug Power Supply Kit Installation Instructions.
CAUTION: If the DC connection exists between the earthed conductor of the DC supply circuit and
the earthing conductor at the server equipment, the following conditions must be met:
• This equipment must be connected directly to the DC supply system earthing electrode
conductor or to a bonding jumper from an earthing terminal bar or bus to which the DC supply system earthing electrode conductor is connected.
• This equipment should be located in the same immediate area (such as adjacent cabinets) as
any other equipment that has a connection between the earthed conductor of the same DC
DC system should be earthed elsewhere.
• The DC supply source is to be located within the same premises as the equipment.
• Switching or disconnecting devices should not be in the earthed circuit conductor between the
DC source and the point of connection of the earthing electrode conductor.
To connect a DC power cable to a DC power source:
1. Cut the DC power cord ends no shorter than 150 cm (59.06 in).
2. If the power source requires ring tongues, use a crimping tool to install the ring tongues on the power
cord wires.
IMPORTANT: The ring tongues must be UL approved and accommodate 12 gauge wires.
IMPORTANT: The minimum nominal thread diameter of a pillar or stud type terminal must be 3.5
mm (0.138 in); the diameter of a screw type terminal must be 4.0 mm (0.157 in).
3. Stack each same-colored pair of wires and then attach them to the same power source. The power cord
consists of three wires (black, red, and green).
