Boot device selector switch (SW1)

The boot device selector switch setting determines the device access order of the media drives in the server. The default setting for the boot device selector switch is FLP TOP.

When the boot device selector switch is set to FLP TOP, the optical drive in the bottom bay is designated as the primary optical drive. The diskette drive in the top bay is bootable. The server cannot boot from a diskette drive in the bottom bay when the boot device selector switch is set to FLP TOP.

When the boot device selector switch is set to FLP BOT, the optical drive in the top bay is designated as the primary optical drive. The diskette drive in the bottom bay is bootable. The server cannot boot from a diskette drive in the top bay when the boot device selector switch is set to FLP BOT.

Switch setting	Description

FLP TOP (default)	The diskette drive in top bay is bootable.
	The primary optical drive in bottom bay is bootable.

FLP BOT	The primary optical drive in top bay is bootable.
	The diskette drive in bottom bay is bootable.

Systems Insight Display LEDs

The front panel health LEDs indicate only the current hardware status. In some situations, HP SIM might report server status differently than the health LEDs because the software tracks more system attributes. The System Insight Display LEDs identify components experiencing an error, event, or failure.

The Systems Insight Display LEDs are located on the media board. In normal operations, all of the LEDs are off unless one of the components fails.

IMPORTANT: When removing the access panel to view the Systems Insight Display LEDs (on page 16), leave the server powered on. The Systems Insight Display LEDs are cleared when the server is powered off.

Component identification 16

NOTE: The system management driver must be installed for the internal system health LED to provide pre-failure and warranty conditions.

Rack planning resources

The rack resource kit ships with all HP branded or Compaq branded 9000, 10000, and H9 series racks. For more information on the content of each resource, refer to the rack resource kit documentation.

If you intend to deploy and configure multiple servers in a single rack, refer to the white paper on highdensity deployment at the HP website (http://www.hp.com/products/servers/platforms).

Setup 21

Optimum environment

When installing the server, 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:

•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 ventilation openings.

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.

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.

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.

CAUTION: When using a Compaq branded 7000 Series rack, you must install the high airflow rack door insert [P/N 327281-B21 (42U) or P/N 157847-B21 (22U)] 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).

Temperature requirements

To ensure continued safe and reliable equipment operation, install or position the system in a wellventilated, climate-controlled environment.

Setup 22

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 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 (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.

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 percent of the branch circuit AC current rating.

•Do not use common power outlet strips for this equipment.

•Provide a separate electrical circuit for the server.

Rack warnings and cautions

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure that:

•The leveling jacks are extended to the floor.

•The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks.

•The stabilizing feet are attached to the rack if it is a single-rack installation.

•The racks are coupled together in multiple-rack installations.

•Only one component is extended at a time. A rack may become unstable if more than one component is extended for any reason.

Setup 23

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage when unloading a rack:

•At least two people are needed to safely unload the rack from the pallet. An empty 42U rack can weigh as much as 115 kg (253 lb), can stand more than 2.1 m (7 ft) tall, and may become unstable when being moved on its casters.

•Never stand in front of the rack when it is rolling down the ramp from the pallet. Always handle the rack from both sides.

WARNING: When installing a server in a telco rack, be sure that the rack frame is adequately secured to the top and bottom of the building structure.

WARNING: This server is very heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment:

•Observe local occupational health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual material handling.

•Get help to lift and stabilize the product during installation or removal, especially when the product is not fastened to the rails. When the server weighs more than 22.5 kg (50 lb), at least two people must lift the server into the rack together. A third person may be required to help align the server if the server is installed higher than chest level.

•Use caution when installing the server in or removing the server from the rack; it is unstable when not fastened to the rails.

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

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.

CAUTION: Do not operate the server for long periods with the access panel open or removed. Operating the server in this manner results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.

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.

Setup 24

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.

NOTE: If an HP array controller has been added or is embedded in the system, the array controller will default to a RAID configuration based on the size and number of hard drives installed. Press the F8 key when prompted during the array controller initialization to use the ORCA utility to modify the controller default settings.

For more information on the automatic configuration, see the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide on the Documentation CD.

Installing the operating system

To operate properly, the server must have a supported operating system. For the latest information on operating system support, see the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/supportos).

Three methods are available to install an operating system on the server:

•SmartStart assisted installation—Insert the SmartStart CD into an external USB CD-ROM drive, and then reboot the server.

•Manual installation—Insert the operating system CD into an external USB CD-ROM drive, and then reboot the server. This process might require you to obtain additional drivers from the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support).

•Remote deployment installation—The operating system can be remotely deployed using the Rapid Deployment Pack (RDP) or PXE boot over an Ethernet connection.

Follow the on-screen instructions to begin the installation process.

For information on using these installation methods, see the SmartStart installation poster in the HP ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack, included with the server.
