System maintenance switches
The system maintenance switch (SW1) is an eight-position switch that is reserved. The default position for
all eight positions is Off.
The system maintenance switch (SW2) is an eight-position switch that is used for system configuration. The
default position for all eight positions is Off.

S8 Reserved Reserved
When the system maintenance switch position 6 is set to the On position, the system is prepared to erase
all system configuration settings from both CMOS and NVRAM.
CAUTION: Clearing CMOS and/or NVRAM deletes configuration information. Be sure to properly
configure the server or data loss could occur.
Component identification 12
NMI switch
The NMI switch 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 flashing amber or flashing red, the
server is experiencing a health event. Combinations of illuminated system LEDs and the internal health LED
indicate system status.
NOTE: The system management driver must be installed in order for the internal health LED to provide pre-
failure and warranty conditions.
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 additional system
attributes.

Memory board LEDs and components
Error indicators remain illuminated when the system is powered off so that the status of the LEDs can still
be seen. This matches the behavior of all the other error indicators in the server.
Error indicators will only be cleared if:
• The locking switch is locked after the board is reinstalled
• The system has been rebooted
• The board is removed from the system
CAUTION: When the memory board locking switch is unlocked in a mode that does not support hot-add or
hot-replace capabilities, audio alarms and visual alerts occur. Removing the memory board at this point
causes server failure.
• To end the audio alarms and visual alerts, move the memory board locking switch back to the locked
position. This action does not result in data corruption or server failure.
• If removal of a single memory board is required and it is the only memory board, power down the
server and make the necessary memory changes.

Rack planning resources
The rack resource kit ships with all HP branded or Compaq branded 9000, 10000, and H9 series racks.
For more information on the content of each resource, refer to the rack resource kit documentation.
If you intend to deploy and configure multiple servers in a single rack, refer to the white paper on highdensity deployment at the HP website (http://www.hp.com/products/servers/platforms
Optimum environment
When installing the server, select a location that meets the environmental standards described in this
Space and airflow requirements
section.
Tower server
In a tower configuration, leave at least a 7.6-cm (3-in) clearance space at the front and back of the server
for proper ventilation.
).
).
Rack server
To allow for servicing and adequate airflow, observe the following space and airflow requirements when
deciding where to install a rack:
• Leave a minimum clearance of 63.5 cm (25 in) in front of the rack.
• Leave a minimum clearance of 76.2 cm (30 in) behind the rack.
• Leave a minimum clearance of 121.9 cm (48 in) from the back of the rack to the back of another
rack or row of racks.
HP servers draw in cool air through the front door and expel warm air through the rear door. Therefore,
the front and rear rack doors 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.
CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and damage to the equipment, do not block the ventilation
openings.
When vertical space in the rack is 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.
The 9000 and 10000 Series Racks provide proper server cooling from flow-through perforations in the
front and rear doors that provide 64 percent open area for ventilation.
CAUTION: When using a Compaq branded 7000 Series rack, you must install the high airflow rack door
insert [P/N 327281-B21 (42U) or P/N 157847-B21 (22U)] to provide proper front-to-back airflow and
cooling.
Setup 29
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 the 42U rack includes closing front and rear doors, you must allow 5,350 sq
cm (830 sq in) of holes evenly distributed from top to bottom to permit adequate airflow (equivalent to
the required 64 percent open area for ventilation).
• Side—The clearance between the installed rack component and the side panels of the rack must be a
minimum of 7 cm (2.75 in).
Temperature requirements
To ensure continued safe and reliable equipment operation, install or position the system in a wellventilated, climate-controlled environment.
The maximum recommended ambient operating temperature (TMRA) for most server products is 35°C
(95°F). The temperature in the room where the rack is located must not exceed 35°C (95°F).
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to the equipment when installing third-party options:
• Do not permit optional equipment to impede airflow around the server or to increase the internal rack
temperature beyond the maximum allowable limits.
• Do not exceed the manufacturer’s TMRA.
Power requirements
Installation of this equipment must comply with local and regional electrical regulations governing the
installation of information technology equipment by licensed electricians. This equipment is designed to
operate in installations covered by NFPA 70, 1999 Edition (National Electric Code) and NFPA-75, 1992
(code for Protection of Electronic Computer/Data Processing Equipment). For electrical power ratings on
options, refer to the product rating label or the user documentation supplied with that option.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, fire, or damage to the equipment, do
not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack. Consult the
electrical authority having jurisdiction over wiring and installation requirements of your
facility.
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.
When installing more than one server, you may need to use additional power distribution devices to
safely provide power to all devices. Observe the following guidelines:
• Balance the server power load between available AC supply branch circuits.
• Do not allow the overall system AC current load to exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit AC
current rating.
• Do not use common power outlet strips for this equipment.
• Provide a separate electrical circuit for the server.
Electrical grounding requirements
The server must be grounded properly for proper operation and safety. In the United States, you must
install the equipment in accordance with NFPA 70, 1999 Edition (National Electric Code), Article 250,
as well as any local and regional building codes. In Canada, you must install the equipment in
accordance with Canadian Standards Association, CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code. In all other
countries, you must install the equipment in accordance with any regional or national electrical wiring
codes, such as the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Code 364, parts 1 through 7.
