This Startup CD contains on-line HP documentation as well as drivers and utilities for configuring the server.
If any of the above items are damaged or missing, contact your dealer immediately. Save the packaging container and packing materials in the event you need to package the server for reshipment.

Selecting a Site

Before unpacking and installing the system, select a suitable site for the system for maximum efficiency. Consider the following factors when choosing a site for the system:
Near a properly grounded, three-pronged wall power outlet
Clean and dust-free
Sturdy surface free from vibration
Well-ventilated and away from sources of heat, with the ventilation openings on the server kept free of obstructions
HP ProLiant ML110 Server Operations and Maintenance Guide 3-1

System Setup

Secluded from strong electromagnetic fields and noise caused by electrical devices such as elevators, copy machines, air conditioners, large fans, large electric motors, radio and TV, transmitters, and high-frequency security devices
Access space provided so the server power cords can be unplugged from the power outlet
NOTE: The power button on the system does not turn off system AC power. To remove AC power from the system, you must unplug the server’s power cord from the power outlet. The power cord is considered the disconnect device to the main (AC) power.
IMPORTANT: Surge suppressor is recommended. In geographic regions that are susceptible to electrical storms, it is strongly recommended that you plug the server into a surge suppressor.
Power Supply Specification in Selecting an Installation Site
Generally, the server can handle the normal transient effect caused by an inrush current when it is first connected to an AC power source. However, if you install several HP servers on one circuit, precautions are necessary. If there is a power failure and power restored afterwards, all the servers immediately begin to draw inrush current at the same time. If the circuit breakers on the incoming power line have insufficient capability, the breaker may trip and thus prevent the servers from powering up. When selecting a site for server installation, allow for the additional inrush current. For more information, refer to the “Power Supply Requirements” section in Chapter 1.
System Setup
The following sections provide instructions on connecting peripherals, as well as power on/off procedures.

Connecting Peripherals

The server unit, keyboard, mouse, and monitor constitute the basic system. Before connecting any other peripherals, connect these peripherals first to test if the system is running properly. The I/O connectors are all located on the rear panel of the server. These connectors are color-coded for easy matching.
NOTE: If you have a console switch box, refer to the documentation accompanying the switch box for instructions on connecting the keyboard, mouse, and monitor.
To Connect a Mouse and Keyboard
PS/2 Mouse and Keyboard
CAUTION: The keyboard and mouse ports are both PS/2 ports, but are not interchangeable. If you plug the keyboard into the mouse port, or the mouse into the keyboard port, you will get an error message.

Figure 3-6: Connecting the server’s power cable
3. Press the power button on the front panel and then turn on the monitor.
Figure 3-7: Turning on the server
3-6 HP ProLiant ML110 Server Operations and Maintenance Guide
System Setup
The system starts up and loads the operating system. A welcome message is displayed. If the system does not turn on or boot after pressing the power button, refer to the “Power Problems” section in Chapter 6 for troubleshooting instructions.
After the welcome message display, a series of POST (Power–On Self–Test) messages appears. The POST messages indicate if the system is running well or not. If an error condition occurs, note any error messages appearing on the display. Go to the “POST Error Indicators” section in Chapter 7 for more information.
Aside from the POST messages, you can determine if the system is in good condition by checking if the following occurred:
Power indicator
Num Lock, Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock indicators on the keyboard light up.
NOTE: Only the Num Lock indicator would remain lit up.
To Turn Off the Server
To turn off the server:
1. Close all open applications.
2. Use the shut down command applicable to server’s NOS.
3. When prompted, press the power button
If you want to force the server to shut down (for example if the operating system has crashed), press and hold down the power button for approximately 5 seconds. Quickly pressing the button may put the server in a sleep mode only.
IMPORTANT: The power supply will continue to provide standby current to the server until the power cord is disconnected from the rear panel. When you disconnect the AC power, the server remembers the current power state (on or off) and returns to this state when AC power is reconnected.
Sleep Modes
on the front panel lights up (green).
on the front panel.
The HP ProLiant ML110 server supports the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) standard, which is a key component of a NOS’ directed power management. The supported features are available when an ACPI-compliant NOS is installed on the server. The term sleep mode or sleep state refers to any of several reduced power consumption states in which normal NOS activity has ceased.
The HP ProLiant ML110 server supports two sleep modes:
Standby
This sleep mode has a short wake-up time. During this state the server appears to be off—the monitor appears blank and there is no CD-ROM or internal hard drive activity (IDE or SCSI); however, the power LED displays a blinking green light and the system fan continues to operate.
HP ProLiant ML110 Server Operations and Maintenance Guide 3-7
System Setup
Hibernate
This sleep mode has a slower wake-up time than the Standby mode. During this state, the server appears to be off as described earlier, but the system fan and the front panel power LED are also turned off.
The unique feature of this sleep mode (and the reason for its slower wake-up time) is that information about the server’s NOS state (open applications, screens, and so on) is saved to disk before the server is placed in the sleep state. Upon wake-up, this information is restored from disk. This method of restoring the server’s operation is much faster than a complete rebooting of the server. It still requires running all the start-up self-tests before starting the NOS, but loading the NOS and all the previously opened applications is much faster.
Wake-up Events
The HP ProLiant ML110 server supports certain types of system activity, which are used as wake-up events from sleep states. Refer to the Power
menu of the BIOS Setup Utility for a
description of these wake-up events.
For more information on configuring sleep states and wake-up events applicable to the particular NOS running on your server refer to the HP ProLiant ML110 Server NOS Installation Guide and the Help file of your NOS.
3-8 HP ProLiant ML110 Server Operations and Maintenance Guide
This chapter provides detailed procedures for configuring the server hardware and gives an overview of the different resources you can use to configure the system.

Hardware Configuration

You have the option to install new server components for the purpose of upgrading system capacity or replacing defective components. The server’s chassis is designed so that configuring the system hardware may be performed without the need for any special tool. A Torx© T-15 screwdriver is the only tool required.
