Removal and replacement procedures 13
Safety considerations
Before performing service procedures, review all the safety information.
Preventing electrostatic discharge
To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when setting up the
system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage
system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the
device.
To prevent electrostatic damage:
• Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.
• Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.
• Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.
• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
• Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.
Server warnings and cautions
Before installing a server, be sure that you understand the following warnings and cautions.
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.
• Unplug the power cord from the power supply to disconnect power to the equipment.
• Do not route the power cord where it can be walked on or pinched by items placed
against it. Pay particular attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where
the cord extends from the server.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and
the internal system components to cool before touching them.
CAUTION: Do not operate the server for long periods with the access panel open or removed. Operating
the server in this manner results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.
Preparation procedures
To access some components and perform certain service procedures, you must perform one or more of the
following procedures:

Memory options
This server supports up to four memory boards. Each memory board contains six DIMM slots for a total of
24 DIMM slots in the server. Memory can be expanded by installing PC2-3200R Registered DDR2 DRAM
DIMMs.
The server supports a host of AMP options to optimize server availability:
• Hot-Plug Mirrored Memory (dual- and quad-board) ("Hot-plug mirrored memory" on page 33)
• Hot-Plug RAID Memory (on page 34)
Hot-plug operations can be hot-add or hot-replace. Hot-add makes additional memory resources available
to the OS. Hot-replace allows failed or degraded DIMMs to be replaced while the server is running.
The maximum supported memory per memory board is 16 GB using four 4-GB dual-rank DIMMs.
Although six DIMM slots exist per board, the system architecture allows a maximum of only four dual-rank
DIMMs per memory board to optimize performance.
For an overview of single- and dual-rank DIMMs, refer to "General memory configuration requirements
(on page 30)".
For DIMM slot locations and bank assignments, refer to "DIMM slot locations (on page 79)".
General memory configuration requirements
The following configuration requirements apply regardless of the AMP mode.
• DIMMs must be installed in pairs.
• DIMM pairs in a memory bank must contain DIMMs with the same part number.
• Always populate the memory boards in sequential order: Board 1, Board 2, Board 3, and Board 4.
Any deviation from this requirement results in the server booting in Advanced ECC mode and
Advanced ECC guidelines apply.
• Always populate the DIMMs in sequential order per bank: Bank A, Bank B, and Bank C.
• Dual-rank DIMMs must be populated before single-rank DIMMs (see table).
• If dual-rank DIMMs are installed in Bank A and Bank B, no additional DIMMs may be installed in
Bank C.
• The following table lists all seven valid combinations of single- and dual-rank DIMM configurations
for a memory board. "Single" indicates a bank of single-rank DIMMs. "Dual" indicates a bank of
dual-rank DIMMs.
NOTE: A bank contains two DIMMs.
Configuration Bank A Bank B Bank C
1 Single
2 Single Single
3 Single Single Single
4 Dual
5 Dual Single
6 Dual Single Single
7 Dual Dual
Removal and replacement procedures 30
•
The system can be configured for any AMP mode in RBSU. RBSU displays a warning message if the
selected AMP mode is not supported by the current configuration. However, if the DIMM
configuration at POST does not meet the requirements for the AMP mode selected in RBSU, the
server defaults to Advanced ECC. The system indicates this by displaying a message during POST
and the status LED for the configured AMP mode flashes amber.
• Unpopulated memory boards (those without any installed DIMMs) can be installed in the server for
storing extra memory boards.
• If the server contains more than 4 GB of memory, consult the OS documentation about accessing the
full amount of installed memory.
Configuring the memory
Configuring the memory system of the server requires configuring both hardware and software.
To configure the memory:
1. Install the correct amount of memory for the desired AMP mode. For a list of AMP options, refer to
"Memory options (on page 30)." For more information, refer to "General memory configuration
requirements (on page 30)".
2. Test the DIMMs for all AMP modes, except Advanced ECC, before configuring the AMP mode in
RBSU. The two testing methods are:
• POST memory test
• ROM-Based Diagnostics test
NOTE: If the total amount of memory has changed, the POST memory test will run automatically. Additional
memory testing is not necessary.
3. Select the AMP mode.
Advanced ECC Memory
Advanced ECC Memory is the default memory protection mode for this server. In Advanced ECC, the
server is protected against correctable memory errors. The server provides notification if the level of
correctable errors exceeds a pre-defined threshold rate. The server does not fail because of correctable
memory errors. Advanced ECC provides additional protection over Standard ECC in that it is possible to
correct certain memory errors that would otherwise be uncorrectable and result in a server failure.
Whereas Standard ECC can correct single-bit memory errors, Advanced ECC can correct single-bit
memory errors and multi-bit memory errors if all failed bits are on the same DRAM device on the DIMM.
The following guidelines apply to Advanced ECC Memory:
• All general memory requirements apply.
• Advanced ECC mode is supported with 1, 2, 3, or 4 memory boards.
• Hot-add is always enabled for Advanced ECC.
• Board insertions do not convert the AMP mode while the server is running. A server cannot be
converted from Advanced ECC to Online Spare Memory, mirrored memory, or Hot-Plug RAID
memory by inserting a board while the server is running. Board insertions in Advanced ECC are
solely for making additional memory resources available to the OS.
• Advanced ECC is the only mode in which hot-add operations are supported. This is the only mode in
which the amount of memory available to the OS can be increased without a reboot.
• Hot-add is performed by adding a memory board while the server is running, and the additional
memory is made available to the OS without a reboot. The following rules apply to hot-add
operations:
• Boards must be inserted sequentially.
Removal and replacement procedures 31
•
Multiple hot-add board insertions can be performed on the same server. For example, if a server
has three empty memory board slots, three hot-add board insertions can be performed.
• If multiple hot-add operations are performed, allow one board insertion operation to complete
(as indicated by the memory board LEDs and OS logs) before inserting another memory board.
• If a memory board (which contains DIMMs) is unlocked while in Advanced ECC mode, audio alarms
and visual alerts occur.
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.
Online spare memory
Online Spare Memory provides a higher level of memory protection than Advanced ECC. With Online
Spare Memory, the probability of a server failing because of uncorrectable memory errors is reduced.
In this mode, memory that is receiving a high rate of correctable memory errors is automatically
disengaged and a replacement set of memory is used in its place. Since DIMMs that are receiving a high
rate of correctable memory errors have an increased probability of receiving an uncorrectable memory
error (which results in a server failure), the server experiences higher availability. The degraded memory
can be replaced during scheduled downtime and poses no additional risk to the server.
Online Spare Memory is supported with one to four memory boards installed. On this server, each
installed memory board is protected by its own spare memory. No OS support is required.
The following guidelines apply to Online Spare Memory:
• All general memory requirements apply.
• Online Spare Memory is supported with 1, 2, 3, or 4 memory boards.
• Each board must have a valid Online Spare configuration. No dependencies exist for the
configuration between different memory boards.
• Each memory board includes its own Online Spare Bank. All boards operate independently in
Online Spare mode. Each board can failover to its Online Spare Bank independent of the other
memory boards. Some boards can be in Online Spare degraded mode while others are still in
operational Online Spare mode.
• The minimum valid Online Spare configuration for a memory board requires at least one bank of
dual-rank DIMMs or two banks of single-rank DIMMs. If the server does not meet these requirements,
an error message is displayed during POST and the server defaults to Advanced ECC and
Advanced ECC guidelines apply.
• The server automatically configures the optimal Online Spare solution.
• Online Spare Memory does not support any hot-plug operations.
HP recommends the following configurations. These configurations result in optimal use of memory. Other
configurations are valid, but do not result in the maximum amount of installed memory being available to
the OS.
• If only single-rank DIMMs are used on a memory board, all DIMMs should be of the same size on
that memory board.
• If only dual-rank DIMMs are used on a memory board, all DIMMs should be of the same size on that
memory board.
Removal and replacement procedures 32
•
If a mixture of single- and dual-rank DIMMs is used on a memory board, the dual-rank DIMMs should
be two times the size of any single-rank DIMM.
After installing DIMMs, use RBSU to configure the system for online spare memory support.
Hot-plug mirrored memory
Hot-Plug mirrored memory (mirrored memory) provides a higher level of memory protection than either
Advanced ECC or Online Spare Memory. With mirrored memory, the server is protected against
uncorrectable memory errors that would otherwise result in server failure. Mirrored memory allows the
server to keep two copies of all memory data on separate memory boards.
If an uncorrectable error is encountered, the proper data is retrieved from the memory board that does not
contain the error. In addition, mirrored memory allows failed or degraded DIMMs to be replaced while
the server is running without requiring server downtime. The memory board with the failed DIMM(s) can
be removed, failed DIMMs replaced, and the board re-inserted into the server without any interruption to
the OS.
Mirrored memory is supported with either two or four memory boards installed. No OS support is
required.
Mirrored memory has two configurations: dual-board and quad-board. Single-board mirrored memory is
not supported. For either mode, choose Mirrored in RBSU.
The following guidelines apply to mirrored memory:
• All general memory requirements apply.
• Mirrored memory is supported with two or four memory boards.
• Memory boards 1 and 2 are populated for dual-board mirrored memory. Boards 1, 2, 3, and 4 are
populated for quad-board mirrored memory. Any deviation from these guidelines results in the server
booting in Advanced ECC mode and Advanced ECC guidelines apply.
• Memory boards 1 and 2 form a mirrored pair for dual-board mirrored memory. For quad-board
mirrored memory, memory boards 3 and 4 form an additional mirrored pair.
• Memory boards within a mirrored pair must have the same amount of total memory. However, each
board of the mirrored pair may have different DIMM configurations as long as they have equal total
size. For example, memory boards 1 and 2 could each contain 2 GB of physical memory per board
with board 1 containing two 1-GB DIMMs and board 2 containing four 512-MB DIMMs.
• The amount of memory between mirrored pairs can be different in quad-board mirrored memory
mode. For example, memory pair 1 (boards 1 and 2) can contain 2 GB each while memory pair 2
(boards 3 and 4) contain 4 GB each.
• In quad-board mirrored memory, the two pairs of memory boards operate independently. One of the
pairs of memory boards can be degraded while the other pair of memory boards can still be fully
mirrored.
• Hot-add operations are not permitted. Board removals and insertions in mirrored memory are solely
for the purpose of hot-replace operations.
• For hot-replace to function properly, the memory board must be re-inserted into the location from
which it was removed. If the board is placed into the incorrect slot (for example, if board 2 is
removed in dual-board mirroring mode and re-inserted into memory slots 3 or 4), a configuration
error occurs. Attempting to insert a board into the improper position results in audio alarms and
visual alerts.
• Replace only one board at a time. That is, if memory boards 2 and 4 both contain memory errors,
remove board 2, replace the failed DIMMs, and replace board 2 before proceeding to board 4.
• If a board is inserted into a valid memory slot but with an invalid DIMM configuration (including too
much or too little memory), a DIMM configuration error occurs and a visual alert occurs. For more
information, refer to "Memory Board LEDs and components (on page 76)".
Removal and replacement procedures 33
•
If you remove a board while the server is running and do not replace the board, the next reboot
results in the system defaulting to Advanced ECC and Advanced ECC guidelines apply.
Hot-plug RAID memory
Hot-plug RAID memory (RAID memory) provides a similar level of memory protection as mirrored memory
but obtains this protection using less total memory. For example, in a RAID memory configuration, 25% of
the installed memory is not available to the OS. In a mirrored memory configuration, however, 50% of the
installed memory is not available to the OS. RAID memory protects the server against uncorrectable
memory errors that would otherwise result in a server failure.
Although mirrored memory keeps two copies of all memory data, RAID memory keeps only one copy of
all memory data and additional parity information. If an uncorrectable memory error is encountered, the
server can create the proper data using the parity information and the information from the other memory
boards that contain no failures.
As with mirrored memory, RAID memory allows failed or degraded DIMMs to be replaced while the
server is running without requiring server downtime. The memory board with the failed DIMM(s) can be
removed, failed DIMMs replaced, and the board re-inserted into the server without any interruption to the
OS.
RAID memory is only supported if all four memory boards are installed. No OS support is required.
The following guidelines apply to Hot-Plug RAID memory:
• All general memory requirements apply.
• RAID memory is only supported with four memory boards.
• All four memory boards must have the same amount of total memory. However, each board may
have different DIMM configurations as long as they have equal total size. Any deviation from this
rule results in the server booting in Advanced ECC mode and Advanced ECC guidelines apply.
• No hot-add operations are supported in RAID memory, only hot-replace.
• If you remove a board while the server is running and do not replace it, the next reboot results in the
system reverting to Advanced ECC and Advanced ECC guidelines apply.
Memory boards and DIMMs
Memory board and DIMM installation, removal, and replacement procedures can be either hot-plug or
non-hot-plug, depending on how the server is configured. Hot-plug operations can be hot-add or hotreplace. Hot-add makes additional memory resources available to the OS. Hot-replace allows failed or
degraded DIMMs to be replaced while the server is running. Hot-add is only supported with Microsoft®
Windows® 2003 or later. Hot-replace has no OS requirements.
The following table illustrates AMP modes that support hot-plug features.

Automatic Server Recovery
ASR is a feature that causes the system to restart when a catastrophic operating system error occurs, such
as a blue screen, ABEND, or panic. A system fail-safe timer, the ASR timer, starts when the System
Management driver, also known as the Health Driver, is loaded. When the operating system is
functioning properly, the system periodically resets the timer. However, when the operating system fails,
the timer expires and restarts the server.
).
ASR increases server availability by restarting the server within a specified time after a system hang or
shutdown. At the same time, the HP SIM console notifies you by sending a message to a designated
pager number that ASR has restarted the system. You can disable ASR from the HP SIM console or
through RBSU.

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.

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 OSs,
device drivers, and applications. Many crashes can 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® experience a blue-screen trap when the OS crashes. When this
happens, Microsoft® recommends that system administrators perform an NMI event by temporarily
shorting the NMI header with a jumper. The NMI event enables a hung system to become responsive
again.
