viii HP ProLiant DL580 Generation 2 Server Maintenance and Service Guide

This maintenance and service guide can be used for reference when servicing the HP ProLiant DL580 Generation 2 server.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from electric shock and hazardous energy levels, only authorized service technicians should attempt to repair this equipment. Improper repairs can create conditions that are hazardous.

Audience Assumptions

This guide is for service technicians. HP assumes you are qualified in the servicing of computer equipment and trained in recognizing hazard in products with hazardous energy levels and are familiar with weight and stability precautions for rack installations.

Technician Notes

WARNING: Only authorized technicians trained by HP should attempt to repair this equipment. All troubleshooting and repair procedures are detailed to allow only subassembly/module-level repair. Because of the complexity of the individual boards and subassemblies, no one should attempt to make repairs at the component level or to make modifications to any printed wiring board. Improper repairs can create a safety hazard.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from electric shock and hazardous energy levels, do not exceed the level of repairs specified in these procedures. Because of the complexity of the individual boards and subassemblies, do not attempt to make repairs at the component level or to make modifications to any printed wiring board. Improper repairs can create conditions that are hazardous.

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

• Disconnect power from the system by unplugging all power cords from the power supplies.

• 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.

CAUTION: To properly ventilate the system, you must provide at least 7.6 cm (3.0 in) of

clearance at the front and back of the server.

Safety Considerations

Before performing service procedures, review the following safety information.

Electrostatic Discharge

A discharge of static electricity can damage static-sensitive devices or micro-circuitry. Proper packaging and grounding techniques are necessary precautions to prevent damage. To prevent electrostatic damage:

•

Transport products in static-safe containers such as conductive tubes, bags, or boxes.

•

Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free stations.

•

Cover workstations with approved static-dissipating material. Use a wrist strap connected to the work surface and properly grounded (earthed) tools and equipment.

•

Keep work area free of nonconductive materials such as ordinary plastic assembly aids and foam packing.

•

Be sure that you are properly grounded (earthed) when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.

•

Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.

•

Use nonconductive field service tools.

WARNING: When installing the server in a telco rack, adequately secure the rack frame to the building structure at the top and bottom.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, use two or more people to safely unload the rack from the pallet. An empty 42U rack weighs 115 kg (253 lb), is over 2.1 m (7 ft) tall, and may become unstable when moved on its casters. Handle the rack from both sides as it rolls down the ramp from the pallet. Do not stand in front of the rack.

2-2 HP ProLiant DL580 Generation 2 Server Maintenance and Service Guide

CAUTION: Always begin by mounting the heaviest item on the bottom of the rack. Continue to populate the rack from the bottom to the top.

Server Warnings and Cautions

WARNING: Do not exceed the level of repair specified in the procedures in the product documentation. All troubleshooting and repair procedures are detailed to allow only subassembly or module-level repair. Because of the complexity of the individual boards and subassemblies, do not attempt to make repairs at the component level or to make modifications to any printed wiring board. Improper repairs can create a safety hazard.

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

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

• Do not disable the AC 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.

Removal and Replacement Procedures

• Unplug the power cord from each power supply to disconnect power to the

equipment.

WARNING: The installation of internal options and routine maintenance and service of this product should be performed by individuals who are knowledgeable about the procedures, precautions, and hazards associated with equipment containing hazardous energy levels.

WARNING: Do not use conductive tools that could bridge live parts. Remove all watches, rings, or loose jewelry when working in hot-plug areas of an energized server.

WARNING: Do not replace non-hot-plug components while power is applied to the product. First, shut down the product and disconnect all AC power cords.

WARNING: Be sure that the AC power supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack is not overloaded. Maintaining a low electrical current draw reduces the risk of personal injury, fire, or damage to the equipment. The total rack load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit rating. Consult the electrical authority having jurisdiction over your facility for wiring and installation requirements.

CAUTION: Protect the server from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a

regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS). This device protects the hardware from damage caused by power surges and voltage spikes and keeps the system in operation during a power failure.

CAUTION: Do not operate the server for extended 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.

DIMM Installation Requirements

Observe the following DIMM configuration requirements when installing DIMM:

Use only industry-standard PC1600 registered DDR SDRAM DIMMs in 256-MB,

•

512-MB, 1-GB, and 2-GB capacities, and that support Error Checking and Correcting (ECC).

Install DIMMs in groups of four, one bank at a time.

•

Groups of four DIMMs must be identical. Installing DIMMs of different capacities into

•

the same bank can degrade memory performance. Bank A must always be populated. To ease subsequent DIMM installations, install the

•

DIMMs in sequential order.

IMPORTANT: HP recommends that you use only HP DIMMs. Third-party DIMMs may have additional installation requirements. For information about third-party DIMM installation requirements, refer to the Advanced Memory Protection white paper on the ProLiant website at www.hp.com.

IMPORTANT: You must power down the server before installing additional DIMMs. Follow all DIMM configuration requirements carefully. If the DIMMs are not configured properly, you receive an error message during POST.

Additional Requirements for Online Spare Memory Technology

In addition to the DIMM configuration requirements for advanced ECC memory, observe the following DIMM configuration requirements when installing DIMMs for online spare memory:

•

Memory board slot 1 must be populated.

•

Bank B on the memory board in slot 1 is always the online spare bank, even if two memory boards are installed, and must be populated when the server is configured for online spare memory.

•

DIMMs installed in the online spare bank must be of equal or greater capacity than each of those in the remaining banks on both memory boards.

IMPORTANT: If memory board slot 1 Bank B is not populated, the system automatically switches to advanced ECC memory and displays an error message during POST.

NOTE: When configured for online spare memory, the memory board has no hot-plug capabilities.

2-22 HP ProLiant DL580 Generation 2 Server Maintenance and Service Guide

Removal and Replacement Procedures

Additional Requirements for Single-Board Mirrored Memory Technology

In addition to the DIMM configuration requirements for advanced ECC memory, observe the following DIMM configuration requirements when installing DIMMs for single-board mirrored memory:

Install only one board. The board must be installed in memory board slot 1.

•

Bank B of memory board 1 is the mirrored bank.

•

DIMMs in the mirrored bank must be configured identically to the bank they are

•

mirroring. Both banks must be populated with DIMMs of the same capacity.

IMPORTANT: If memory board slot 1 Bank B is not populated, the system automatically switches to advanced ECC memory and displays an error message during POST.

NOTE: When configured for single-board mirrored memory, the system has no hot-plug capabilities.

Additional Requirements for Hot-Plug Mirrored Memory Technology

In addition to the DIMM configuration requirements for advanced ECC memory, observe the following DIMM configuration requirements when installing DIMMs for hot-plug mirrored memory:

Two memory boards must be installed.

•

Both memory boards must be configured identically. Corresponding banks (for instance,

•

bank A on the memory board in slot 1 and bank A on the memory board in slot 2) must be populated with DIMMs of the same size and type.

Observe the following DIMM configuration requirements when performing a hot-plug replacement:

Do not remove the memory board unless the Ready to Hot Plug LED is green.

•

If you replace a DIMM, the DIMM must be a PC1600 DDR SDRAM DIMM of the same

•

capacity as the DIMM you are replacing.

Removing a Memory Board

CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. Be sure you are

properly grounded before beginning any installation procedure.

To remove a memory board:

1. If the server is not configured for hot-plug mirrored memory, you must power down the

server. Refer to “Powering Down the Server” in this chapter. Hot-plug replacement procedure: If the server is configured for hot-plug mirrored

memory, skip to step 2.

HP ProLiant DL580 Generation 2 Server Maintenance and Service Guide 2-23

Removal and Replacement Procedures

2. Open the rear access panel. Refer to “Op ening and Removing the Rear Access Panel” in this chapter.

Hot-plug replacement procedure: Determine which memory board contains the failed DIMM by locating the memory board with an amber memory status LED and one or more amber DIMM status LEDs. The Ready to Hot Plug LED must be green, indicating that you can perform a hot-plug procedure.

NOTE: If the Ready to Hot Plug LED is off on both boards, you must power down the server before replacing DIMMs.

3. Disengage the locking switch (1). Hot-plug replacement procedure: After turning the locking switch to the unlock

position, the LEDs turn off, except the amber LEDs. Wait until all green LEDs are off before proceeding. Make note of which DIMM status LED remains illuminated amber, indicating the DIMM you need to replace.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to unlock the memory board in an operational server when the Ready to Hot Plug LED is not green. This will generate an audible alarm and cause the memory board LEDs to flash amber. Proceeding to remove the memory board after the audible and visible alarms causes system failure.

CAUTION: To prevent system failure, do not remove the memory board from the server until the memory status LED stops blinking.

4. Press the release latches inward (2).

5. Pull the memory board up out of the server (3). Hot-plug replacement procedure: While the memory board with the failed or degraded

DIMM is being replaced, the system continues to read and write from the operational memory board.

2-30 HP ProLiant DL580 Generation 2 Server Maintenance and Service Guide

Hot-Plug SCSI Hard Drives

Drive Replacement Precautions

Be aware of the following guidelines cautioning unsafe hot-plug replacement.

•

Do not remove a degraded drive if any other member of the array is offline (the online LED is off). No other drive in the array is hot-pluggable without data loss. The exception to this is the use of RAID 1+0 as a fault-tolerant configuration. In this case, drives are mirrored in pairs. More than one drive can fail and be replaced as long as the drive or drives they are mirroring are online.

•

Do not remove a degraded drive if any member of an array is missing (removed previously and not yet replaced).

•

Do not remove a degraded drive if any member of an array is being rebuilt, unless the drive being rebuilt has been configured as an online spare. The online LED for the drive flashes green or amber, indicating that a replaced drive is being rebuilt from the data stored on the other drives.

NOTE: An online spare drive does not activate and start rebuilding after a predictive failure alert because the degraded drive is still online. The online spare activates only after a drive in the array has failed.

Removal and Replacement Procedures

•

Do not replace multiple degraded drives at the same time, since the fault tolerance can be compromised. When a drive is replaced, the controller uses data from the other drives in the array to reconstruct data on the replacement drive. If more than one drive is removed, a complete data set is not available to reconstruct data on the replacement drive or drives, and permanent data loss can occur.

CAUTION: Do not turn off any external unit when the server containing. A Smart Array controller is powered up. Also, do not power up the server before powering up the drive enclosure. If these ordering rules are not followed, the Smart Array controller may mark the drives in this enclosure as failed, resulting in permanent data loss.

HP ProLiant DL580 Generation 2 Server Maintenance and Service Guide 2-31

Removal and Replacement Procedures

To remove a non-functioning hot-plug SCSI hard drive:

CAUTION: Remove or replace a hard drive only when the drive failure LED is amber. Data loss can occur if a drive is removed when the drive online LED is green. Refer to “Hot-Plug SCSI Hard Drive LEDs” in Chapter 4, “Connectors, LEDs, and Switches,” for more information.

CAUTION: Remove or replace only one hard drive at a time. The controller relies on other drives to reconstruct data on the replaced drive. Drive reconstruction is active when the drive online LED is flashing green.

1. Press the release button to unlock the ejector lever on the hard drive (1).

2. Open the ejector lever to release the drive (2).

3. Slide the drive out of the cage (3).

Performance Balancing

Before replacing the expansion board, review the following recommendations.

Balancing is the paired arrangement of expansion boards for optimal performance based on the bus architecture of the expansion slots. Properly balancing the boards across buses can improve performance. To balance expansion boards:

• • Populate slots from the center of the server to ensure optimal thermal conditions. Slot 6 is

in the center of the server and has the best cooling. Populate slots across different buses before populating two slots on the same bus.

Table 2-10 provides a guideline for slot population order based on the previous recommendations.

NOTE: HP recommends that the optional Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition II (RILOE II) board be populated in slot 1 due to internal cabling requirements.

NOTE: The slot population order that follows is a recommendation only; any PCI or PCI-X expansion board may reside in any slot.
