HP ProLiant DL740 Server User Guide 1-5

Server Features

Standard Features

The following additional features are available on ProLiant DL740 models.

Processors

The server supports four or eight Intel Xeon processors MP with the following features:

• Easy upgrade capability from a 4P server to an 8P server

• HP designed ZIF sockets with tool-less actuation and tool-less quick release heat

sink clamps

• Keyed, self-aligning heat sink design to protect processor pins and allow for blind mate assembly

• Pre-attached processor heat sink assembly for easy service and optimum thermals without having to worry about messy greases

• Fault-tolerant integrated processor power regulation

Each of the processor boards has embedded power, front and back covers for enhanced thermals and handling, and a single hand rack-and-pinion lever for blind mate installation in seconds.

Hyper-Threading technology, developed by Intel, improves the performance of IA-32 processors when executing multiple-processor (MP) capable operating systems and multithreaded applications. With this technology, one physical processor looks like two logical processors to the operating system and applications. The two logical processors can execute two separate tasks (or code streams called threads) concurrently by using shared hardware resources.

Hyper-Threading technology is designed to improve the performance of IA-32 processors by using the multithreaded nature of contemporary operating systems and server applications in such a way as to increase the use of the on-chip execution resources available in the Intel NetBurst microarchitecture. The integrated cache subsystem results in reduced memory access times and increased throughput and performance of the memory subsystem. Specifically, integrated Level 3 cache, which is only available on the Xeon processor MP, provides a high-bandwidth path to memory, increasing throughput for large server workloads.

1-6 HP ProLiant DL740 Server User Guide

Hot Plug RAID Memory

The HP memory RAID technology stands for Redundant Array of Industry-Standard DIMMs. The ProLiant DL740 server supports up to 40 GB of Hot Plug RAID Memory using industry-standard PC133 SDRAM DIMMs (32 GB of addressable memory). The DIMMs are installed in five Hot Plug RAID Memory cartridges. Hot Plug RAID Memory allows for the following server service and management capabilities while the server is running:

• Memory hot-replace—Allows the replacement of failed DIMMs. This feature is

built into the hardware, is operating system-independent, and requires no drivers.

• Memory hot-add—Allows the addition of extra banks of memory without

powering down the server. This feature requires operating system support and drivers.

• Memory hot-upgrade—Allows the upgrade of existing DIMMs with

larger-capacity DIMMs without powering down the server. This feature requires operating system support and HP drivers.

Server Features

HP ProLiant DL740 Server User Guide 1-7

Server Features

The Hot Plug RAID Memory cartridges are located on the inner right side of the host module. Each memory cartridge contains up to eight DIMMs. Each cartridge has a protective cover, and a latch and lock.

Figure 1-4: Memory cartridge location

1-8 HP ProLiant DL740 Server User Guide

Server Features

The ProLiant DL740 server has five memory cartridges, each consisting of eight DIMMs. In each memory cartridge, similar DIMMs are installed in bank pairs (1+2, 3+4, 5+6, 7+8) for memory interleaving to increase performance.

Basic memory features include:

• ECC memory with single-bit and MBE correction and detection down to the

failed DIMM level

• Support for standard ECC 133-MHz registered SDRAM

• Driverless hot-replace functionality

• Expandability to 40 GB of Hot Plug RAID Memory using industry-standard

PC133 SDRAM DIMMs (32 GB of addressable memory)

• Support for up to eight memory banks, with each bank consisting of five DIMMs

(one DIMM is for redundancy):

— Each DIMM of a given bank must be of the same size, type, and speed.

— DIMMs are populated in bank pairs for interleaved operation to increase

performance.

NOTE: The DIMM size, type, and speed are defined by the DIMM part number. All DIMMs in a bank must have the same part number, as indicated by the following example:

123456-12x

All numbers except the last (designated by x) must match for DIMMs to be considered the same.

• Cartridge and DIMM diagnostic information

HP ProLiant DL740 Server User Guide 1-9

Server Features

PCI-X Technology

PCI-X technology leverages the wide acceptance of the PCI bus and provides an evolutionary I/O upgrade to conventional PCI. PCI-X technology enhances the PCI protocol and frequency to meet bandwidth needs of enterprise computing systems. PCI-X provides backward compatibility with the PCI bus at both the expansion board and system level.

Expansion Slots

The server has six 64-bit PCI-X expansion slots operating at 100 MHz:

• Slots 1 and 2 (PCI bus 7) support PCI-X expansion boards at 100 MHz; it is keyed for 3.3v signaling.

• Slots 3 and 4 (PCI bus 11) support PCI-X expansion boards at 100 MHz; it is keyed for 3.3v signaling.

• Bus 5 and 6 (PCI bus 3) support PCI-X expansion boards at 100 MHz; it is keyed for 3.3v signaling.

NOTE: The operating system detects PCI devices in the following slot order: 5-6-1-2-3-4.

PCI Hot Plug

PCI Hot Plug provides the ability to remove, replace, upgrade, and add PCI/PCI-X expansion boards without powering down the server. PCI and PCI-X boards can be placed in a PCI Hot Plug slot. PCI Hot Plug device drivers and operating system support are required to enable PCI Hot Plug.

A PCI Hot Plug button is located above each PCI/PCI-X slot, providing PCI Hot Plug control directly at the server without the use of the PCI Hot Plug utility software.

For more information about PCI Hot Plug, refer to the server documentation CD.

1-18 HP ProLiant DL740 Server User Guide

Smart Components for Online ROM Flash

Online ROM flash technology consists of a combination of components that allow system administrators to upgrade system or option ROM images across a wide range of HP servers and server options while the server is running. The ROM upgrades are performed locally or across a network from a single point of execution and are flashed individually or grouped together to perform multiple ROM upgrades in a single step.

HP Smart Components for ROM Flash include installation logic that automatically checks for hardware, firmware, and operating system dependencies, installing only the correct ROM upgrades required by each target server.

Advanced Data Guarding

As storage capacities continue to rapidly expand, disk drive fault protection becomes more important. This fault protection needs to be implemented without doubling the investment in disk drives or a new storage infrastructure. Currently, RAID 5 is only recommended for protecting up to 14 disk drives in an array. RAID 1 provides greater fault protection, but requires every drive to be mirrored, so it is often too costly to implement on large RAID volumes. Customers want the protection of RAID 1 or better with an implementation cost similar to RAID 5.

Server Features

With Advanced Data Guarding (RAID ADG), you can safely and economically protect a RAID volume of up to 2 TB and a total of 56 disk drives. RAID ADG offers fault protection greater than RAID 1 or RAID 5 and only consumes the capacity of one additional disk drive for each distributed parity data drive.

RAID ADG is essentially an extension of RAID 5, which allows for additional fault tolerance by using a second independent distributed parity scheme. Data is striped across a set of drives, just as in RAID 5, and a second set of parity is calculated and written across all the drives. RAID ADG provides high data fault tolerance and can sustain multiple simultaneous drive failures. This solution is important for protecting mission-critical data.

RAID ADG provides a much higher level of fault tolerance than RAID 5. RAID ADG allows two simultaneous drive failures without downtime or data loss, while RAID 5 only allows one drive failure.

HP ProLiant DL740 Server User Guide 1-19

Server Features

Only the Smart Array 5300 Controllers support RAID ADG. The Smart Array 5304/128 is shipped with RAID ADG and is available as an upgrade option for the Smart Array 5302/32 and 5302/64.

2-2 HP ProLiant DL740 Server User Guide

Selecting a Site

When installing the ProLiant DL740 server in a rack, the following standards must be met:

• Space and airflow requirements

• Power requirements

• Grounding requirements

• Temperature requirements

Space and Airflow Requirements

To allow for servicing and adequate airflow, observe the following spatial requirements when deciding where to install a rack:

• Leave a minimum clearance of 63.5 cm (25 inches) in front of the rack.

• Leave a minimum clearance of 76.2 cm (30 inches) behind the rack.

• Leave a minimum clearance of 121.9 cm (48 inches) from the back of the rack to

the back of another rack or row of racks.

Installing the Server in a Rack

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.

HP ProLiant DL740 Server User Guide 2-3

Installing the Server in a Rack

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.

Compaq branded 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: 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 server rack includes closing front and rear

doors, you must allow 5,350 sq cm (830 square inches) 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 inches).

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.

Installing the Server in a Rack

Rack Considerations

Consider the following issues when working with server rack systems.

Rack Stability

Rack stability is of special concern when equipment is routinely installed, removed, or accessed within the rack. Stability is achieved through the use of leveling feet (jacks), stabilizers, and ballast kits.

Leveling Feet (Jacks)

Leveling feet are adjustable stabilizers that level the cabinet at the installation site and take the balance off of the wheels.

Stabilizers

The anti-tip stabilizer provides stability and support when equipment is installed, removed, or accessed within the rack. HP recommends that you use a stabilizer option kit with a stand-alone rack.

Ballast Kits

Ballast kits can be added to a cabinet to increase side-to-side and front-to-back mechanical stability. Lightly loaded cabinets may require ballast to keep them from tipping over when a force is applied to the side of the cabinet. Heavily loaded systems, depending on the particular configuration involved, usually do not require ballast.

To be sure of rack stability, the minimum weight of the installed equipment should be 114 kg (210 lb). Ballast kits should be added if a system has less than 114 kg (210 lb) minimum weight. In addition, ballast kits should be installed if any single system component weighs over 45 kg (100 lb) such that a minimum of 91 kg (200 lb) of ballast and equipment remains in place when the component is extended from the rack.

2-10 HP ProLiant DL740 Server User Guide

A single ProLiant DL740 server typically weighs between 48 and 61 kg (105 and 135 lbs), depending on configuration. If a single ProLiant DL740 server is the only component installed in a rack, you must add two ballast kits. Each kit contains two 18 kg (40 lb) ballasts. Two ballast kits (a total of four ballasts) equal 73 kg (160 lb), bringing the total up to a minimum of 136 kg (300 lb).

If two ProLiant DL740 servers are the only components installed in a rack, you must add a single ballast kit, which maintains a minimum weight of 91 kg (200 lbs) remaining in the rack when one of the servers is extended.

For more information, refer to any additional installation documentation provided with the rack.

Warnings and Precautions

Before beginning the following procedures, be sure that you understand these warnings:

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment:

48-61 kg

105-135 lbs

• Observe local occupational health and safety requirements and

guidelines for manual material handling.

• Obtain adequate assistance to lift and stabilize the chassis during

installation or removal.

• Understand that the product will be unstable when not fastened to

the rails.

Installing the Server in a Rack

• Remove all hot-plug power supplies and drives to reduce the

overall weight of the product.

HP ProLiant DL740 Server User Guide 2-11

Installing the Server in a Rack

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 rack weight 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.

• A rack may become unstable if more than one component is extended for

any reason. Extend only one component at a time.

CAUTION: To maintain optimum cooling, a perforated rack door must be used with

this server. Failure to use a properly ventilated door results in thermal damage to the server. Compaq 7000 series racks require an upgraded door. To order a high-airflow perforated door from HP, request P/N 327881-B21 for a 42U rack, or P/N 157847-B21 for a 22U rack.

IMPORTANT: To reduce the overall weight of the system, HP recommends that the host module and the power and media module be removed from the server before loading it onto the rails.

IMPORTANT: Refer to the following rack documentation for further cautions:

• 9000 Rack Series Products Audio-Visual (AV) CD Kit (shipped with HP racks)

• Rack Builder Pro Configuration Tool CD (available on the HP website or ordered with the

Rack Resource CD Kit)

Installing the Server in a Rack

Preparing the Rack for Server Installation

To prepare the rack for a server installation:

• Measure with the rack template

• Install the rack rail assemblies

Measuring with the Rack Template

The rack template provides an easy and reliable way to properly position the rack rail assemblies in the rack.

• The template is two-sided and is printed with arrows that show you where to

insert rack rail assemblies on the front and back of the rack.

• Use a pencil to mark the top and bottom edges of the template against the rack

supports, identifying where the server fits and providing a starting point for installing the next unit.

WARNING: Always mount the heaviest item on the bottom of the rack and work from the bottom to the top.

WARNING: Reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment by ensuring that the rack leveling feet extend to the floor and support the full weight of the rack. Each rack must be level and stable. Racks that are not coupled require stabilizers. This must be done before you perform any work on the rack.

Refer to the Rack Planning and Installation Guide on the Documentation CD that accompanies the Compaq branded rack for more information on leveling feet and stabilizers.

IMPORTANT: Determine where in the rack to place the server before you start installing the

rack rail assemblies. To remind you of the proper placement of the server in the rack, refer to the Rack Builder report you printed when you planned your rack configuration with the Rack Builder tools provided with your Compaq branded rack.
