http://www.compaq.com/storage/
2-4 Compaq ProLiant ML330 Generation 2 Server Setup and Installation Guide
Rack Environment
To allow for servicing and adequate airflow, observe the following spatial
requirements when selecting a site for your rack-mounted server:
■ Leave a minimum clearance of 63.5 cm (25.0 inches) in front of the
rack.
■ Leave a minimum clearance of 76.2 cm (30.0 inches) behind the rack.
■ Leave a minimum clearance of 121.9 cm (48.0 inches) from the back of
the rack to the back of another rack or row of racks.
Compaq servers draw in cool air through the front door of the rack and expel
warm air through the rear door. Therefore, the front door 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.
IMPORTANT: Do not block the ventilation openings.
When there is any vertical space in the rack 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.
CAUTION: When using a Compaq 7000 Series rack, you must install the
high-airflow rack door insert [Part Number 327281-B21 (42U) and Part Number
157847-B21 (22U)] to provide proper front-to-back airflow and cooling and
prevent damage to the equipment.
Compaq 9000 Series racks provide proper server cooling from flow-through
perforations, ensuring 64 percent open area for ventilation. Refer to the rack
documentation provided with Compaq 7000 Series racks for guidelines on
meeting airflow requirements.
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 your 42U server rack includes closing front and
■ Side: The clearance between the installed rack component and the side
For additional information and instructions on installing your server into a
rack, refer to your rack enabling kit documentation.

Redundant ROM Support
Compaq ProLiant ML330 Generation 2 servers enable you to upgrade or
configure your ROM safely with redundant ROM support. The server has a
2-MB ROM that acts as two, separate 1-MB ROMs. In the standard
implementation, one side of the ROM contains the current ROM program
version, while the other side of the ROM contains the backup version.
Safety and Security Benefits
When you flash the system ROM, ROMPaq writes over the backup ROM and
saves the current ROM as a backup, enabling you to switch easily to the
existing ROM version if the new ROM becomes corrupted for any reason.
This feature protects your previous ROM version, even if you experience a
power failure while flashing the ROM.
5-8 Compaq ProLiant ML330 Generation 2 Server Setup and Installation Guide
Access to Redundant ROM Settings
Use ROMPaq utilities to create a backup ROM image before upgrading the
configuration or to restore saved ROM data.
1. Access RBSU by pressing the F9 key when the prompt displays in the
lower right corner of the screen during power up.
2. Select the Redundant ROM option in the Advanced Options menu of
RBSU.
3. Select one of the ROM banks as the system ROM.
4. Press the Enter key.
5. Press the Esc key to exit the current menu or press the F10 key to exit
RBSU.
6. Restart the server.
When the server boots, the system identifies whether the current ROM bank is
corrupt. If a corrupt ROM is detected, the system boots from the backup ROM
and alerts you through POST that the ROM bank is corrupt.
Switching ROM images, in the event that RBSU is inaccessible, can also be
done by changing the switch settings on the system configuration switch. See
Appendix E, “LED Indicators, Switches and Jumpers,” for instructions.
Disaster Recovery
If both the current and backup versions of the ROM are corrupt:
1. Create a new ROMPaq diskette using your SmartStart for Servers CD.
See “SmartStart Diskette Builder” later in this chapter for instructions.
IMPORTANT: If the ROM is corrupted by a ROMPaq interruption, the initial ROMPaq
attempt may have affected the contents of the original diskette.
2. Power down the server.
3. Insert the ROMPaq diskette.
4. Power up the server.
5. The server generates one long beep and two short beeps to indicate that
you are in disaster recovery mode. The keyboard, mouse, and monitor
are inactive.
6. The server analyzes the diskette, searching for the latest ROM image. If
the diskette is not in place, the system continues to beep until a valid
ROMPaq diskette is inserted.
7. The ROMPaq diskette then flashes both system ROM images.
Server Configuration and Utilities 5-9
8. At the successful completion of this process, a sequence of ascending
audible beeps is generated. If the flash is not successful, a sequence of
descending audible beeps is generated.
9. After successful completion of this process, follow these steps:
a. Power down the server.
b. Remove the ROMPaq diskette.
c. Power up the server as usual.
If the ROMPaq upgrade procedure was unsuccessful, power down the
server and repeat the above process.
5-10 Compaq ProLiant ML330 Generation 2 Server Setup and Installation Guide
ROMPaq
Using flash ROM in Compaq servers allows the firmware (BIOS) to be
upgraded with system or option ROMPaq utilities. To upgrade the BIOS,
insert a ROMPaq diskette into the diskette drive, remove power from the
system, and then power up the system again.
NOTE: See “SmartStart Diskette Builder” later in this chapter for instructions on creating
a ROMPaq diskette.
The ROMPaq utility then checks the system and provides a choice (if more
than one exists) of ROM revisions to which the system can be upgraded. This
procedure is the same for both system and option ROMPaq utilities.
CAUTION: Do not power down during a firmware upgrade. A loss of power
during upgrade may corrupt the firmware and prevent the system from starting.
SmartStart Software
The SmartStart for Servers CD is used to load the system software, thereby
achieving a well-integrated server and ensuring maximum dependability and
supportability. The SmartStart CD contains diagnostic utilities and ROMPaq
tools.
To install the SmartStart CD, press the F9 key to run RBSU and configure the
primary operating system. Next, follow these steps:
1. Locate the SmartStart CD in the Server Setup and Management pack.
2. After you power up the server, press the CD-ROM drive eject button.
3. Insert the SmartStart CD into the CD-ROM drive with the labeled side
up. Handle the CD by its edges, not by the flat surfaces of the disc.
4. When the busy indicator turns green, the SmartStart sequence begins.
Refer to the SmartStart documentation included with your server to
install the operating system, create updated driver diskettes, and run
upgrade utilities.
SmartStart Diskette Builder
The SmartStart CD contains a utility to generate support diskettes in the event
that they are needed or the software cannot be used directly from the
SmartStart CD. Support diskettes are “punched-out” from data stored on the
SmartStart CD. The support includes:
■ Array Configuration Utility (ACU)
■ Operating System support
■ Server utilities
■ Erase utility
■ System and Option ROMPaq diskettes
To run the Diskette Builder, use a workstation running Microsoft Windows 95,
Windows 98, Windows NT, or Windows 2000. You also need several
1.44-MB diskettes. All data on the diskettes will be overwritten. Insert the
SmartStart CD into the workstation drive. The CD automatically runs the
Diskette Builder utility; however, if the system does not support the “auto-run”
feature, use Windows Explorer to run
[CD-ROM DRIVE]:\DSKBLDR\DSKBLDR.EXE.

Compaq Survey Utility
Compaq Survey Utility is an online information-gathering agent for Microsoft
Windows, Novell NetWare, and Linux that collects critical hardware and
software information from various sources. If a significant change occurs
between data-gathering intervals, the previous information is marked, and the
data file is overwritten to reflect the latest configuration and changes. This file
allows you to keep a historical record of change events for server hardware
and software.
Compaq Survey Utility automatically runs at startup and on specified time
intervals. You can modify the data-gathering interval by modifying the
command-line parameters.
For more information on Compaq Survey Utility, including installation and
application procedures, refer to the Compaq Survey Utility Online Help UserGuide accessed through the Compaq website:
http://www.compaq.com/support/files/server/us/
Perform a search for “Survey Utility,” and then follow the appropriate link.
Compaq Diagnostics Utility
The Compaq Diagnostics utility tests the operation of your Compaq hardware
and isolates failed parts, whenever possible. Diagnostic error codes are
generated when the Diagnostics utility recognizes a problem. These error
codes help identify defective components. A Diagnostics diskette can be made
by running the Compaq Server Diagnostics file available for download from
the following website:
http://www.compaq.com/support/files/server/us/
Automatic Server Recovery-2
ASR-2 is a feature of ProLiant servers that resets the system in the event of a
catastrophic operating system error like a blue-screen, ABEND (abnormal
end), or panic. A system failsafe timer, the ASR-2 timer, is started when the
Compaq System Management driver, also known as the health driver, is
loaded. The timer is reset periodically during normal operation, but in the
event of operating system failure, the timer expires and restarts the server.
ASR-2 increases server up time by restarting the server within a predetermined
amount of time after the system stops responding. The Compaq Insight
Manager console notifies you in the event of an ASR-2 restart. You can
disable ASR-2 from the Compaq Insight Manager console.
Power-On Self-Test
POST is a series of diagnostic tests that checks firmware and assemblies to
ensure that the system is functioning properly. This utility runs automatically
every time the server is powered up.
See Appendix D, “Troubleshooting,” for the normal power-up sequence and
diagnosis of problems encountered during POST.

RAID Configuration and Management
This chapter provides an overview of the Integrated ATA RAID
Configuration Utility that comes standard with ATA models of the
Compaq ProLiant ML330 Generation 2 server.
Introduction to RAID
Overview of RAID
Redundant array of independent drives (RAID) is an array of multiple
independent hard drives that can be accessed simultaneously, improving I/O
(input/output) performance. The RAID array is recognized by the host
computer as a single storage unit or as multiple logical units. Data loss,
because of a drive failure, can be prevented by reconstructing missing data
from the remaining data and parity drives.
Chapter 6
6-2 Compaq ProLiant ML330 Generation 2 Server Setup and Installation Guide
RAID Terminology
IMPORTANT: Only RAID levels 0, 1, and 0+1 are supported by the Integrated ATA RAID
Configuration Utility.
RAID 0 (Stripe)
RAID 0 is a RAID level that involves breaking up data into smaller blocks and
then writing a block to each drive in the array (striping). RAID 0 does not
provide any data redundancy, but does offer the best performance of any
RAID level.
RAID 1 (Mirror)
RAID 1 is a RAID level that involves duplicating all data from one drive to a
second drive (mirroring). RAID 1 provides complete data redundancy, but at
the cost of doubling the required data storage capacity. You must have a
minimum of two hard drives to support RAID 1.
RAID 0+1
RAID 0+1 (also known as RAID 10) is a RAID level that provides both
striping and mirroring capabilities. RAID 0+1 mirrors data from one drive to
another and then stripes the data across a second set of drives. You must have
a minimum of four hard drives to support RAID 0+1.
RAID 5
RAID 5 is not supported by the Integrated ATA RAID Configuration Utility.
It is a RAID level that stripes data and parity information across drives and
requires a minimum of three hard drives.
Spare
The spare option in the utility assigns an extra, unused drive as a spare to be
used in case of a drive failure.
IMPORTANT: The spare option is applicable only in arrays with redundancy, such as
RAID 1, RAID 0+1, and RAID 5. If a spare is not available, the failed drive must be
replaced with a new drive so that the data on the failed drive can be rebuilt. The
replacement drive capacity must be greater than or equal to the failed drive it replaces.
