Warranty
The Compaq Prefailure 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
Prefailure Warranty to be in effect.
When Compaq Insight Manager alerts you that a component may be eligible
for Prefailure 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 prefailure 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
www.compaq.com/support/
Server Configuration and Management

and optional tools to support effective server management and configuration,
including:
■ ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU)—performs a wide range of system
configuration activities
■ ROMPaq™ utility—allows the firmware (BIOS) to be upgraded by
flashing the system ROM and provides redundant ROM support in case
of ROM corruption
■ Compaq SmartStart™ for Servers software—provides driver updates
and assisted operating system installation
■ Compaq Insight Manager—monitors fault conditions, server
performance, security, and more
■ Compaq Diagnostics Utility—tests and verifies the operation of
Compaq hardware
■ Automatic Server Recovery-2 (ASR-2)—increases server up time in the
event of a catastrophic operating system error
■ Compaq Survey Utility—allows you to keep a historical record of server
hardware and software changes in a single configuration history file
Server Features 1-15
■ Power-On Self-Test—checks firmware and assemblies to ensure that the
system is properly functioning
See Chapter 5, “Server Configuration and Utilities,” for detailed information
on each of these utilities.

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.
