NMI Jumper

The NMI jumper allows administrators to perform a memory dump before performing a hard reset. Crash dump analysis is an essential part of eliminating reliability problems, such as hangs or crashes in operating systems, device drivers, and applications. Many crashes freeze a system, requiring you to do a hard reset. Resetting the system erases any information that would support root cause analysis.
Systems running Microsoft® Windows® operating systems experience a blue screen trap when the operating system crashes. When this happens, Microsoft® recommends that system administrators perform an NMI event by pressing a dump switch. The NMI event enables a hung system to become responsive again.

System LEDs and Internal Health LED Combinations

When the internal health LED on the front panel illuminates either amber or red, the server is experiencing a health event. Combinations of illuminated system LEDs and the internal health LED indicate system status.
The front panel health LEDs indicate only the current hardware status. In some situations, HP SIM may report server status differently than the health LEDs because the software tracks more system attributes.

Hot-Plug Hard Drive IDs

SCSI models of the HP ProLiant ML350 Generation 4p server support single- or dual-channel SCSI hard drive configurations. The single-channel configuration (simplex) supports up to six SCSI hard drives on one channel. The dual-channel configuration (duplex) supports two SCSI hard drives on one channel (SCSI IDs 4 and 5) and up to four SCSI hard drives on the other channel (SCSI IDs 0 through 3) with the duplex option.
The SCSI IDs for both simplex and duplex configurations are illustrated. Always populate hard drive bays starting with the lowest SCSI ID.
Server Component Identification 21
SATA models of the HP ProLiant ML350 Generation 4p server support up to six hard drives. The embedded SATA controller supports drives in bays 1 and 2 (SATA IDs 1 and 2). An optional controller is required to support drives in bays 3 through 6 (SATA IDs 3 through 6). The hot-plug SATA drive cage also supports 8.89-cm (3.5-in) SAS hot-plug hard drives. An optional SAS controller is required to support SAS drives.

Powering Up the Server

Powering Down the Server

To power up the server, press the Power On/Standby button.
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.
IMPORTANT: If installing a hot-plug device, it is not necessary to
power down the server.
1. Back up the server data.
2. Shut down the operating system as directed by the operating system documentation.
3. If the server is installed in a rack, press the UID LED button on the front panel. Blue LEDs illuminate on the front and rear panels of the server.
4. Press the Power On/Standby button to place the server in standby mode. When the server activates standby power mode, the system power LED changes to amber.
26 HP ProLiant ML350 Generation 4p Server User Guide
5. If the server is installed in a rack, locate the server by identifying the illuminated rear UID LED button.
6. Disconnect the power cords.
The system is now without power.

Extending the Server from the Rack

1. Loosen the thumbscrews that secure the server faceplate to the front of the rack.
IMPORTANT: If the server is installed in a telco rack, remove the server from the rack to access internal components.
2. Extend the server on the rack rails until the server rail-release latches engage.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage, be sure that the rack is adequately stabilized before extending a component from the rack.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, be careful when pressing the server rail-release latches and sliding the server into the rack. The sliding rails could pinch your fingers.
Server Operations 27
3. After performing the installation or maintenance procedure, slide the server back into the rack:
a. Press the server rail-release latches and slide the server fully into rack. b. Secure the server by tightening the thumbscrews.

Removing the Front Bezel (Tower Model)

This server has a removable front bezel that must be unlocked and opened before accessing the hard drive cage or removing the access panel. The door should be kept closed during normal server operations.
Use the key provided with the server to unlock the bezel with a clockwise turn.
If necessary, remove the front bezel.

Removing Access Panel

1. Loosen the two thumbscrews located on the left side on the front of the chassis.
2. Slide the access panel back about 1.5 cm (0.5 in).
3. Lift and remove the access panel.
28 HP ProLiant ML350 Generation 4p Server User Guide
NOTE: Turn the access panel over to locate the System Configuration
and Options hood labels. These labels will provide information on installing various options, flexible memory configurations, LED status indicators, and switch settings.
4. To replace the access panel, reverse steps 1 through 3.
