Warranty
The Compaq Pre-Failure Warranty helps prevent unplanned shutdowns of the
system by allowing for the replacement of covered parts before they fail. The
warranty covers processors, memory, and hard drives. Compaq Insight
Manager, included with the system, must be installed for the Compaq
Pre-Failure Warranty to be in effect.
When Compaq Insight Manager alerts you that a component may be eligible
for Pre-Failure Warranty replacement, follow the onscreen instructions or
contact a Compaq authorized service provider in your area. A yellow status
indicator on the Compaq Insight Manager control panel signals that a
component is in a pre-failure condition and should be replaced.
Consult the Compaq Customer Support Center or refer to the Limited
Warranty Statement included with your server for details. Certain restrictions
and exclusions apply. For additional warranty information, visit the Compaq
website at
http://www.compaq.com/support/

Overview of Server Installation
The following instructions are provided as an overview for first-time
installation of your Compaq ProLiant ML330 Generation 2 server. If you have
any problems, contact your Compaq authorized reseller.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
■ 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.
■ Disconnect power from the server by unplugging the power cord from
either the electrical outlet or the server.
■ Do not place anything on power cords or cables. Arrange them so that no
one can accidentally step on or trip over them. Do not pull on a cord or
cable. When unplugging from the electrical outlet, grasp the cord by
the plug.
CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components.
Make sure that you are properly grounded (earthed) before beginning any
installation procedure. See Appendix B, “Electrostatic Discharge,” for more
information.
2-2 Compaq ProLiant ML330 Generation 2 Server Setup and Installation Guide
Selecting a Site
Make sure that the installation area you select has the following features:
■ A sturdy, level site that includes dedicated and properly grounded
(earthed) circuits, air conditioning, and ESD protection
■ 7.6 cm (3.0 inches) clearance on all sides of tower server for proper
ventilation
IMPORTANT: See the following section, “Installing the Rack Server,” for clearance
specifications if you are installing the ProLiant ML330 Generation 2 server into a rack.
■ A separate electrical circuit for the server
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.
To purchase a UPS, contact your local Compaq authorized reseller or
