Chapter 2

Overview of Server Installation

The following instructions are provided as an overview for first-time

installation of your Compaq ProLiant ML350 Generation 2 server.

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. Be sure that you are properly grounded (earthed) before beginning any installation procedure. See Appendix B, “Electrostatic Discharge (ESD),” for more information.

2-2 Compaq ProLiant ML350 Generation 2 Server Setup and Installation Guide

Selecting a Site

Make sure that the installation area that you select has the following features:

■ A sturdy, level installation site that includes dedicated and properly

grounded (earthed) circuits, air conditioning, and electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection

■ 7.6 cm (3.0 inches) clearance on all sides of server for proper ventilation in

a tower configuration

IMPORTANT: See the following section, “Installing the Rack Server,” for clearance specifications if you are installing the ProLiant ML350 Generation 2 server into a rack configuration.

■ 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 visit the Compaq website:

www.compaq.com/showroom/

Refer to Appendix F, “Specifications,” for detailed power and environmental site requirements.

Installing the Rack Server

The ProLiant ML350 Generation 2 server is also available in a rack model,

immediately ready for installation. A rack conversion option kit is also

available for customers who want to convert a tower ProLiant ML350

Generation 2 server to a rack server. This section provides environmental

information required for the installation of a rack-mounted server.

Tower-to-Rack Option

Figure 2-1 shows the ProLiant ML350 Generation 2 server installed in a rack

configuration.

Overview of Server Installation 2-3

Figure 2-1. The ProLiant ML350 Generation 2 server installed in a rack

To purchase the rack conversion kit (Part Number 237045-B21), contact your

local Compaq authorized reseller or order direct from Compaq.

A selection of racks for your server can be purchased through your Compaq

authorized reseller or direct from Compaq at

www.compaq.com/storage/

2-4 Compaq ProLiant ML350 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.

Compaq 9000 Series racks provide proper server cooling from flow-through perforations in the front and rear doors that provide 64 percent open area for ventilation. Refer to the rack documentation provided with Compaq 7000 Series racks for guidelines on meeting airflow requirements.

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 to prevent damage to the equipment.

4-2 Compaq ProLiant ML350 Generation 2 Server Setup and Installation Guide

Storage Device Installation Guidelines

Consider the following guidelines when adding SCSI devices:

■ As a general rule, a maximum of seven devices may be added per

channel. Your server is equipped with two Wide Ultra3 SCSI channels.

■ The configuration settings on each SCSI device should be set to the

SCSI ID of the bay (Bay 0 = SCSI ID 0) that it will occupy.

■ If only one SCSI hard drive is used, it should be installed in the

lowest-numbered bay (0).

■ Be sure to remove all terminating jumpers from third-party SCSI

devices.

CAUTION: To prevent damage to the equipment, make sure that the server is powered down, all cables are disconnected from the back of the server, and the power cord is disconnected from the grounded (earthed) AC outlet before installing devices.

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.

Identifying SCSI Components

Hot-Plug Hard Drive SCSI Cable

The SCSI cable shown in Figure 4-1 is included with the server. The SCSI cable connects the hot-plug drive cage to the SCSI controller. The hot-plug hard drive cage has built-in termination.

NOTE: The interior of the server may look different depending on the model you purchased.

Connecting IDE Devices to the Integrated IDE Controller

Your server includes one IDE cable (the Cable Select Cable) that can connect up to two IDE devices to the system through the integrated IDE controller. This cable has three clearly labeled connectors. If only one IDE device is connected to the system, it must be secured to the cable connector labeled Drive 0. All IDE devices in the system should have their configuration jumpers set to “Cable Select” or “CS.”

IMPORTANT: If your network operating system is Novell NetWare, Compaq recommends that you connect your CD-ROM to the primary IDE channel and to the Drive 0 connector on the IDE cable.

NOTE: IDE hard drives are not supported.

Connecting the System Fan

The system fan is an integral part of the ProLiant ML350 Generation 2 server system design. Proper cabling of the fan helps to avoid potential server failure and operating system error messages.

Connect the system fan to the system board as illustrated in Figure 4-9.
