Firmware
Firmware consists of many individuallylinked binary images that are boundtogether by a single
framework at run time. Internally, the firmware employs a software database called a device
tree to represent the structure of the hardware platform and to provide a means of associating
software elements with hardware functionality.
The firmware incorporates the Boot Console Handler (BCH) which provides an interface between
the operating system and the platform firmware.
The firmware supports the HP-UX 11i version 1 (and higher HP-UX versions that support
PA-RISC systems) operating system through the HP 9000 processor family standards and
extensions, and has no operating system-specific functionality included. The operating system
is presented with the same interface to the system firmware, and all the features are available to
the operating system.
22 Overview
Page 23
Event IDs for Errors and Events
The server firmware generates event IDs similar to chassis codes for errors, events, and forward
progress to the Integrated Light-Out Management Processor (iLO MP) through common shared
memory. The iLO MP interprets and stores event IDs. Reviewing these events helps you diagnose
and troubleshoot problems with the server.

System Board Components
The following describes the main components of the system board:
• Dual PA-RISC processors:
— One or two processors enabled in the HP 9000 rp3410 server
— One, two, or four processors enabled in the HP 9000 rp3440 server
• ZX1 I/O and memory controller
• ZX1 PCI bus controller
• Processor dependent hardware controller
• Field processor gate array controller
• BMC
• SCSI controller
• IDE controller
• USB controller
• 10/100/1000 LAN
PA RISC Processor
The system board consists of two Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) processor sockets, the Core Electronic
Complex (CEC), and circuits for clock and power generation and distribution, boundary scan,
In-target Probe (ITP), and debug.
The Front Side Bus (FSB) is the IA64 processor bus based on bus protocol from Intel. This enables
processor customer self-repair (CSR) parts to be dropped in, provided that electrical and
24 Overview
Page 25
mechanical compatibility and support circuitry exist. A processor CSR consists of a dual processor
module with heatsink assembly.
One end of the FSB is terminated with an I/O ASIC. The other end of the bus is terminated with
a CSR. An additional CSR can be loaded in the middle. For the system to function properly, the
processor farthest away from the I/O ASIC must be loaded at all times to electrically terminate
the FSB.
Each processor module plugs directly into and is powered by its own 12V to 1.2V power-pod.
Other power for the system board comes from multiple on-board DC/DC converters. Each
processor module is attached to the board through a ZIF socket andthe entire CSR secured down
by a heatsink bolster plate.
Processor Bus
The processor bus (Front Side Bus [FSB]) in this product runs at 200 MHz. Data on the FSB are
transferred at a double data rate, which enables a peak FSB bandwidth of 6.4 Gb/sec.
ZX1 I/O and Memory Controller
HP 9000 rp3410 and rp3440 servers support the following features of the ZX1 I/O and memory
controller chip:
• 3.3 GB/s peak IO bandwidth
• Provides eight communication paths
• Peak memory bandwidth of 8.5 GBs
• Two memory cells, 144 data bits each
Memory
The memory subsystem provides two memory cells, each of which is 144 data bits wide. Each
cell has six DIMM slots, which means a total of 12 DIMM slots are available. The memory bus
clock speed is 133 MHz, and the data transfer rate is 266M transfers/second as data is clocked
on both edges of the clock. The peak data bandwidth for this memory subsystem design is 8.5
GB/s. DIMMs must be loaded in quads with qualified modules, with the exception of 256 MB
DIMMs which is loaded in pairs. Memory is protected by data error correction code (ECC), and
the hardware implementation supports the chip-spare feature.
The minimum amount of memory that you can install is 512 MB (2x256 MB modules in a HP
9000 rp3410 model A7136A server), and 1 GB (4x256 MB modules in other HP 9000 rp34x0
servers). The maximum amount of memory that you can install is limited to 24 GB (12 x 2 GB
modules) or 32 GB (8 x 4 GB modules) in a HP 9000 rp3440 server.
This design does not support any non industry-standard DDR DIMMs. Only qualified DIMMs
are supported.
Figure 1-6 shows the memory block diagram.
Detailed Server Description 25
Page 26
Figure 1-6 Memory Block Diagram
Memory Architecture
The I/O ASIC memory interface supports two DDR cells, each of which is 144 data bits wide.
The memory subsystem physical design uses a comb-filter termination scheme for both the data
and address/control buses. This part of the topology is similar to other DDR designs in the
computer industry. Clocks are distributed directly from the I/O ASIC; each clock pair drives two
DIMMs.
Memory data is protected by ECC. Eight ECC bits per DIMM protect 64 bits of data. The use of
ECC enables correction of single-bit errors, and detection of multi-bit errors. Only DIMMs with
ECC are qualified or supported.

The memory subsystem only supports Double Data Rate Synchronous Dynamic Random Access
Memory (DDR SDRAM) technology utilizing industry-standard PC-1600 type DDR SDRAM
DIMMs, 1.2" tall. This is currently being used by high-volume products. The DIMMs use a 184-pin
JEDEC standard connector.
DIMMs are loaded in groups of four, known as a rank or quad (except for 256 MB DIMMs, which
is loaded in pairs). All four DIMMs in a rank or quad must be the same size. The following
information summarizes the memory solutions.
Memory Array Capacities
Table 1-2 lists the memory array capacities for the server.

Chip Spare Functionality
Chip spare enables an entire DDR SDRAM chip on a DIMM to be bypassed in the event that a
multi-bit error is detected on the DDR SDRAM. In order to use the chip spare functionality on
the server, only DIMMs built with ×4 DDR SDRAM parts are used, and these DIMMs must be
loaded in quads.
The memory subsystem design supports the I/O ASIC chip’s spare functionality. Chip spare
enables an entire SDRAM chip on a DIMM to be bypassed or replaced in the event that a multi-bit
error is detected on that SDRAM. In order to use the chip spare functionality, only DIMMs built
with x4 SDRAM parts are used, and these DIMMs must be loaded in quads (2 DIMMs per memory
cell, loaded in the same location in each memory cell). Each DIMM within a quad must be identical
to all the other DIMMs in the quad.
Using the DIMM loading order figure from above, chip spare is achieved if four identical DIMMs
are loaded in the slots labeled “1st” and “2nd.” If more DIMMs are added, they must be loaded
in quads in order to maintain the chip spare functionality. If more DIMMs are added to the
example case, four identical DIMMs (identical to each other, but can be different from the original
quad that was loaded) must be loaded in the slots labeled “3rd” and “4th.”
Maximum memory capability of the HP 9000 rp3440 server is 24 GB or 32 GB. If 4 GB DIMMs
are used, install eight DIMMs in the first eight slots. The remaining slots (9-12) must remain
empty when 4 GB DIMMs are used.
Serial Presence Detect
Each DIMM contains an I2C EEPROM whose content describes the module’s characteristics:
speed, technology, revision, vendor, and so on. This feature is called serial presence detect (SPD).
Firmware typically uses this information to detect unmatched pairs of DIMMs, and configure
certain memory subsystem parameters. The SPD information for DIMMs loaded in the system
are also accessible to the BMC through the I2C bus.
I/O Bus Interface
The I/O bus interface has these features:
• Provides industry standard PCI 33 MHz and 66 MHz, PCI-X 66 MHz to 133 MHz, 32 or 64
data bit support.
• Uses 3.3V PCI only, and it does not support 5V PCI.
• Optimizes for DMA performance.
• Supports 3.3V or universal-keyed PCI cards. 5V-keyed PCI cards are not supported.

per 1,000 feet of elevation above 5,000 feet above sea level up to 30°C at 10,000 feet. For optimum
reliability and performance, the recommended operating range is 20°C to 25°C and 40% – 55%
relative humidity.
Ambient intake air temperature is often different from ambient room temperature. Measure the
operating temperature and humidity directly in front of the cabinet cooling air intakes rather
than just checking ambient room conditions.
Environmental Temperature Sensor
The server includes internal sensors that monitor input air temperature and server operating
temperatures. The ambient air temperature is measured using a sensor placed on the system I/O
board. Data from the sensor is used to control the fan speed and to initiate system overtemperature
shutdown.
Nonoperating Environment
The system is designed to withstand ambient temperatures between -40°C to 70°C under
nonoperating conditions.
Cooling
This section provides information on the cooling systems in the server.
CPU and Memory Cooling
The server incorporates front to back airflow across the processor and memory extender boards
and through the HDD backplane. Two 127 mm dual fan assemblies, mounted vertically in the
center of the chassis, pull air through the processor and memory section and push air through
the PCI section.
Each processor and memory dedicated dual fan assembly is controlled by smart fan control
circuits embedded in the system I/O board. The smart fan control circuit receives fan control
input from the system fan controller in the I/O board, and returns fan status information to the
system fan controller. The smart fan circuit controls the power and the pulse-width-modulated
control signal to the fan and monitors the speed indicator back from each of the fans. The fan
status LED is driven by the smart fan circuit. The fan status LED is located on the diagnostic
board inside the system.
Bulk Power Supply Cooling
Cooling for the bulk power supplies is provided by one 120 mm dual fan assembly and one
externally mounted 60 mm power supply fan. Air is pushed into both power supply bays by the
120 mm fan assembly and exhausted out the rear by the 60 mm fan (one per power supply).
Air flows out of the rear of the chassis with minimal leakage into the cell airflow plenum.
NOTE: A power supply filler is required in the unused power supply slot to maintain proper
airflow throughout the system.
PCI and Mass Storage Section Cooling
Two dual fan assemblies located at the center of the chassis provide airflow for all the PCI slots.
Airflow is over the processor and memory extender boards and into the PCI section. The fans
are controlled by the system temperature and run at the speed necessary to maintain proper
internal temperature throughout the chassis.
Environmental Specifications 45
Page 46
The air is pulled through openings in the front cover and the mass storage devices and pushed
through the PCI card cage.Perforation is provided between and above the PCI card cage to enable
proper exhaust ventilation to maintain the required temperature rating of the PCI cards.
CAUTION: For maximum cooling effects, ensure that the chassis ventilation holes are not
blocked or covered after installation.
Acoustic Noise Specification
The acoustic noise specification for the HP 9000 rp3410 or rp3440 servers is 53 db LpA (sound
pressure level at bystander position in a dedicated computer room environment temperature of
<25°C).

Firmware consists of many individuallylinked binary images that are boundtogether by a single
framework at run time. Internally, the firmware employs a software database called a device
tree to represent the structure of the hardware platform and to provide a means of associating
software elements with hardware functionality.
The firmware incorporates Boot Console Handler (BCH) which provides an interface between
the operating system and the platform firmware.
The firmware supports the HP-UX 11i version 1 (and higher HP-UX versions that support
PA-RISC systems) operating system through the HP 9000 processor family standards and
extensions, and has no operating system-specific functionality included. The operating system
is presented with the same interface to system firmware, and all features are available to the
operating system.
Event IDs for Errors and Events
The server firmware generates event IDs similar to chassis codes for errors, events, and forward
progress to the iLO MP through common shared memory. The iLO MP interprets and stores
event IDs. Reviewing these events helps you diagnose and troubleshoot problems with the server.

This sectiondescribes procedures you perform before installation. Ensure that you have adequately
prepared your environment for the new server, received the components that you ordered, and
verified that the server and its containers are in good condition after shipment.
Verifying Site Preparation
Verifying site preparation is an essential factor of a successful server installation and includes
the following tasks.
1. Gather LAN information and determine the two separate IP addresses for the iLO MP LAN
and the system LAN.
2. Establish a method to connect to the server console.
3. Verify electrical requirements and ensure that grounding specifications and power
requirements have been met.
4. Validate server physical space requirements.
5. Confirm environmental requirements.
CompletedDescriptionStep
Inspecting the Shipping Containers for Damage
HP shipping containers protect their contents under normal shipping conditions. After the
equipment arrives, carefully inspect each carton for signs of shipping damage. Shipping damage
constitutes moderate to severe damage, such as punctures in the corrugated carton, crushed
boxes, or large dents. Normal wear or slight damage to the carton is not considered shipping
damage. If you find shipping damage to the carton, contact your HP customer service
representative immediately.
Unpacking the Server
To unpack a non-racked server, follow these steps.
NOTE: HP recommends the use of a lifter, such as a RonI Company model 17000 SP 400 lifting
device, when moving a non-racked server.
1. Use the instructions printed on the outside top flap of the carton; remove the banding and
the outer carton from the server pallet.
2. Remove all inner accessory cartons and the top foam cushions, leaving only the server.
IMPORTANT: Inspect each carton for shipping damage as you unpack the server.

Page 52
NOTE: To identify each item by part number, see the sales order packing slip.
Returning Damaged Equipment
If the equipment is damaged, contact your HP customer service representative immediately. The
service representative initiates appropriate action through the transport carrier or the factory
and assists you in returning the equipment.
Unloading the Server with a Lifter
WARNING! Use caution when using a lifter. Because of the weight of the server, you must
center the server on the lifter forks before lifting it off the pallet to avoid injury.
To unload the server from the pallet using a lifter, follow these steps:
1. Unpack the server.
2. Unroll the bottom corrugated tray corresponding to the side on which the lifter will be
placed, and slide the server as close to that edge of the pallet as possible.
3. Break off any foam packaging which could prevent the lifter from being fully inserted under
the server.
Do not remove the foam packaging from the corners of the server. This foam is required to
elevate the server and enable the forks of the lifter to be placed under the server.
4. Insert the lifter forks under the server.
5. Carefully roll the lifter forward until it is fully against the side of the server.
6. Slowly raise the server off the pallet until it clears the pallet cushions.
7. Carefully roll the lifter and server away from the pallet. Do not raise the server any higher
than necessary when moving it over to the rack.

When adding DIMMs, you must use a minimum of four like-sized DIMMs in the next available
quad. If you are installing DIMMs of different sizes, you must install the largest DIMMs (most
memory) in the first quad. DIMMs in the second quad can be equal to or smaller than (less
memory) the DIMMs in the first quad. If you install DIMMs in the third quad, they must be equal
to or smaller than the DIMMs in the second quad.
rp3410 Memory Configuration
The HP 9000 rp3410 server supports DDR SDRAM DIMMs with ECC and chip spare protection.
This server has 12 DIMM slots and supports a maximum of 6 GB of total system memory. Memory
usage in the server varies with the model designation.
In the original server (model A7136A), memory can be installed as one or two pairs in the first
quad (group of four). This allows memory configurations of two, four, eight, or twelve DIMMs.
In the current server (model A7136B), memory must be installed as quads (groups of four). This
allows memory configurations of four, eight, or twelve DIMMs. Thus, the HP 9000 rp3410 server
must include a minimum of 512 MB (model A7136A) or 1 GB (model A7136B) and can include
up to six GB of memory in combinations of 256 MB, 512 MB, and 1 GB DIMMs. Different size
DIMMs can be installed in the server, but all four DIMMs in a quad must be identical.
Installing Additional Components 71
Page 72
Memory Loading Rules and Performance Guidelines
• DIMMs must be installed in server load sequence (the first DIMM must be in the first slot,
the second DIMM must be in the second slot, and so on).
• A minimum of 512 MB (2 x 256 MB DIMMs in a model A7136A server) or 1 GB (4 x 256 MB
DIMMs in a model A7136B server) of memory must be installed in a HP 9000 rp3410 server.
• Maximum memory is 6 GB.
• A minimum of two DIMMs (one pair) is required in the model A7136A server.
• A minimum of four DIMMs (one quad) is required in the model A7136B server.
• All DIMMs within a quad must be identical.
• Memory can be ordered in amounts of 1 GB (4 x 256 MB), 2 GB (4 x 512 MB), 4 GB (4 x 1
GB), 8 GB (4 x 2 GB), and 16 GB (4 x 4 GB).
• Memory is loaded across both memory busses (two DIMMs on each bus) to ensure maximum
bandwidth and performance.
• Total memory bandwidth is 8.5 GB/s, split across two 4.25 GB/s memory buses.
• Open page memory latency is 80 nanoseconds.
rp3440 Memory Configuration
The HP 9000 rp3440 supports DDR SDRAM DIMMs with ECC and chip spare protection. This
server has 12 DIMM slots, but maximum system memory is 32 GB due to cooling limitations.
Memory must be installed as quads (groups of four). This allows memory configurations of four,
eight, or twelve DIMMs. Thus, the HP 9000 rp3440 server must include a minimum of 1 GB and
can include up to 24 GB of memory in combinations of 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB DIMMs,
or 32 GB of memory consisting of eight 4 GB DIMMs. Different size DIMMs can be installed in
the server (except when 4 GB DIMMs are used), but all four DIMMs in a quad must be identical.
Memory Loading Rules and Performance Guidelines
• Minimum memory is 1 GB (4 x 256 MB).
• Maximum memory is 32 GB (8 x 4 GB installed in the first eight slots—the remaining slots
must remain empty if 4 GB DIMMs are installed).
• Memory DIMMs must be installed in groups of four (quads).
• All DIMMs within a quad must be identical.
• Memory must be loaded in the specific order outlined on the system board.
• Memory can be ordered in amounts of 512 MB (2 x 256 MB), 1 GB (4 x 256 MB), 2 GB (4 x
512 MB), 4 GB (4 x 1 GB), 8 GB (4 x 2 GB), and 16 GB (4 x 4 GB).
• Each quad of memory is loaded across both memory buses (two DIMMs on each bus) to
ensure maximum bandwidth and performance.
• Total memory bandwidth is 8.5 GB/s, split across two 4.25 GB/s memory buses.
• Open page memory latency is 80 nanoseconds.
The memory subsystem supports chip-spare functionality. Chip spare enables an entire SDRAM
chip on a DIMM to be bypassed (logically replaced) in the event that a multi-bit error is detected
on that SDRAM.
In order to use the chip spare functionality, only DIMMs built with x4 SDRAM parts can be used,
and these DIMMs must be loaded in quads (two DIMMs per memory cell, loaded in the same
location in each memory cell).

Installing the Server Into a Rack, Non-HP Rack, or Pedestal
The following information describes how to install the server into an HP rack. Information is
also provided on approved non-HP rack and pedestal-mounted alternatives.
86 Installing the System
Page 87
HP Rack
HP 9000 entry class servers that are installed into racks are shipped with equipment mounting
slides. The Mid-Weight Slide Kit, (HP part number 5065-7291) is provided with each set of slides.
Follow the steps in the kit installation guide to determine where and how to place the server into
the rack.
The following are additional instructions for installing the server into the rack:
1. Switch the cable management arm (CMA) from a left- to a right-mount configuration. The
CMA is factory-configured to mount on the left side of the server (as viewed from the rear
of the chassis). Mount the CMA on the right side of the server to ensure easy removal of the
power supplies.
2. Remove two T120 screws from the server bezel; one screw from the same location on each
side of the server. The screws are located behind the pull handles.
Non-HP Rack
Use the Mounting in non-HP racks guide for evaluating the installation of HP equipment in non-HP
racks. The guide provides information to help you determine if you need to qualify whether you
can install, maintain, and service any HP equipment in a non-HP rack. The guide is located on
the HP website at http://www.hp.com/racksolutions.
Select Mounting information from the menu and select the guide titled Mounting in non-HP
racks.
Pedestal Mount
If you ordered the server as rackless, it has a pedestal pre-installed at the factory.
If the server is a rack-mounted and you want to change it to a pedestal-mount (rackless), you
need a Server Rackless Mount Kit. This kit comes with an installation guide titled Converting
Your Rack Server to a Rackless Mount (part number A6979-96001).
To convert a rack-mount server to a pedestal-mount server, see Converting Your Rack Server to a
Pedestal Server on the HP website at http://www.hp.com/.
Follow the instructions in the kit installation guide to attach the pedestal to the server.
Connecting the Cables
This section describes the cables to connect to power the server and to provide LAN connectivity
for the server.
AC Input Power
The server comes with one or two power supplies installed. A power supply includes an AC
input connector which is rated for 200 to 240 VAC at 13 amps. If two power supplies are installed,
both power supplies must be connected separately to an AC power source.
Core I/O Connections
Each HP 9000 rp3410 and rp3440 server core I/O includes:
• Four USB ports
• Two 9-pin serial ports (console A and serial B are for factory use only)
• One iLO MP I/O interface
— One 10/100 management LAN-RJ45
— One 25-pin serial, console/remote/UPS
Connecting the Cables 87
Page 88
• LVD/SE SCSI port
— The SCSI port is used to attach SCSI external mass storage to the server
— Connections to the SCSI board include the external SCSI channels for external mass
storage devices
CAUTION: Some restrictions apply to the mass storage devices that can be connected to
the core I/O SCSI HBA. External connections to the SCSI HBA core I/O controller are only
supported when the internal cable between the SCSI backplane and the SCSI HBA core I/O
card is disconnected. The server is shipped in simplex configuration which supports external
devices. If you convert the server to duplex configuration, you cannot install external SCSI
devices.
• LAN Connection
— The LAN board provides the basic external I/O connectivity for the server
— One 10/100/1000 Base-T LAN RJ45 connector
• One 15-pin VGA port. This port is currently disabled. DO NOT USE THE PORT.
For graphics capability, install the accessory graphics PCI card (HP part number A6150B).
WARNING! Ensure that the server is powered off and all the power sources have been
disconnected from the server before attempting the following procedures.
Voltage is present at various locations within the server whenever an AC power source is
connected. This voltage is present even when the main power switch is in the off position.
Failure to observe this warning can result in personal injury or damage to equipment.
Applying Standby Power To the Server
To apply standby power to the server, follow these steps:
1. If the server has one power supply installed in slot P1, plug the power cord into that
receptacle. Plug the other end of the power cord into an appropriate outlet.
NOTE: The LED on the power supply does not illuminate in the standby power state. The
LED illuminates when the server is powered on to full power. If the power restore feature
is set to Always On through the iLO MP PR command, the server automatically powers on
to the full power state when the power cord is plugged into the server.
2. If the server has two power supplies, plug the second power cord into the power supply in
slot P2. Plug the other end of the power cord into an appropriate outlet.
Connecting To the LAN
The server has the following ports that provide network connectivity:
• iLO MP LAN port. Use this port to access the iLO MP through the LAN.
• Console/Remote/UPS port (RS-232). Use this port to access the iLO MP through the console.
Figure 3-48 shows the LAN ports on the server rear.
88 Installing the System
Page 89
Figure 3-48 LAN Ports on the Server Rear
To enable general network connectivity for the server, follow these steps:
1. Obtain a valid IP address for each LAN port you plan to activate.
2. Connect the LAN cable from an available LAN port into a live connection on the network.
Console Setup
This section describes how to set up and start a console session on the server and includes the
following steps:
• Determine the physical access method to connect cables. There are two physical connections
to the iLO MP:
— LAN
— RS-232 serial port
• Configure the iLO MP and assign an IP address if necessary. Though there are several
methods to configuring the LAN, DHCP with DNS is the preferred method. DHCP with
DNS comes preconfigured with default factory settings, including a default user account
and password. Other options include:
— ARP Ping
— Local RS-232 serial port
— Remote/modem port

Preparation
You must perform the following tasks before you can configure the iLO MP LAN.
• Determine the physical access method to select and connect cables.
• Determine the iLO MP LAN configuration method and assign an IP address if necessary.
Determining the Physical iLO MP Access Method
Before you can access the iLO MP, you must first determine the correct physical connection
method. The iLO MP has a separate LAN port from the system LAN port. It requires a separate

Page 92
LAN drop, IP address, and networking information from that of the port used by the operating
system.
Table 3-5 lists the appropriate connection method, required connection components, and

1. RS-232 DB-9F to DB-9F straight cable
2. Console device (for example, a laptop or ASCII terminal)
Determining the iLO MP LAN Configuration Method
To access the iLO MP through the iLO MP LAN, the iLO MP must acquire an IP address. The
way the iLO MP acquires an IP address depends on whether DHCP is enabled or disabled on
the server, and if DHCP and DNS services are available to the server. (See Table 3-6 for possible
scenarios.)
Once you have determined the iLO MP access, you must determine how you will configure the
iLO MP LAN to acquire an IP address using the following methods:
• DHCP/DNS through the MP LAN: use the DNS name located on the toe-tag on the server
• Setting up a static IP number using a laptop with DHCP services and the management LAN
• ARP Ping to set a static IP address using a laptop and the management LAN
• Local RS-232 serial port and a serial console
• Remote/modem port
Table 3-6 provides all the possible scenarios. Use this table to help you select the appropriate
LAN configuration method to obtain an IP address.

Cannot set up the LAN. Reconsider your criteria.NoNoYes
Once you have determined how you will configure the iLO MP LAN in order to acquire an IP
address, you must configure the iLO MP LAN using the selected method.
Configuring the iLO MP LAN Using DHCP and DNS
DHCP automatically configures all DHCP-enabled serverswith IP addresses, subnetmasks, and
gateway addresses. All HP 9000 entry class servers with the iLO MP are shipped from the factory
with DHCP enabled.
92 Installing the System
Page 93
TIP: HP recommends using the DHCP and DNS method to simplify access to the iLO MP.
When you use DHCP and DNS, you can connect to the iLO MP by typing the DNS name in your
browser rather than an IP address only if the following conditions apply:
• DHCP must be enabled (DHCP is enabled by default)
• You are using a DHCP server that provides the domain name and the primary DNS server
IP address
• The primary DNS server accepts dynamic DNS (DDNS) updates
• The primary DNS server IP address has been configured through the DHCP server
To configure the iLO MP using DHCP and DNS, follow these steps:
1. Obtain the factory-set DNS name from the toe-tag on the server. The DNS name is 14
characters long, consisting of the letters mp followed by the 12 characters of the MAC address,
for example: mp0014c29c064f. This address is assigned to the iLO MP card. The iLO MP
card has a unique MAC address that identifies the card on the network.
2. Connect the LAN cable from the server to an active network port.
3. Apply AC power to the server (if not already done).
4. Open a browser, Telnet, or SSH client and enter the default host name. The iLO MP Log In
window opens.
Configuring the iLO MP LAN Using ARP Ping
The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) and Packet Internet Grouper (Ping) utility uses ARP
packets to ping, or discover, a device on the local network segment. The IP address you assign
to the server must use the same network segment, or subnet, as the computer assigning the
address. ARP does not work across routed or switched networks.
ARP Ping operational issues include the following:
• You can use ARP Ping regardless of the status of DHCP, unless an IP address has ever been
acquired using DHCP
• When ARP Ping is successful, DHCP status is disabled
• Some DHCP server options can cause the apparent issuance of ARP Ping to the iLO MP
which negates the DHCP/DDNS method
• The PC and the server must be on the same physical subnet
• When a new server is first booted, DHCP is automatically available (factory-set default);
but ARP Ping does not start until three minutes after the iLO MP is booted. This applies to
every subsequent boot of the iLO MP until an IP address is obtained by DHCP or has been
assigned using the LC command, or ARP Ping succeeds
There are two ways to use the ARP Ping utility:
• Connect a PC to the network that is on the same physical subnet as the server and run the
ARP Ping commands from the PC
• Locate an existing server on the network, log into it, and run the ARP Ping commands from
the server
Table 3-7 lists the ARP Ping commands.
Console Setup 93
Page 94
Table 3-7 ARP Ping Commands
DescriptionCommand
arp -s
ping
This command assigns an IP address to the iLO MP MAC address. This ARP table entry maps
the MAC address of the iLO MP LAN interface to the static IP address designated for that
interface.
This command tests network connections. It verifies that the iLO MP LAN port is configured
with the appropriate IP address.
The following procedure explains how to use the ARP Ping utility using a PC that is connected
to the network that is on the same physical subnet as the server.
To configure a static IP address using the ARP Ping utility, follow these steps:
1. Obtain the iLO MP MAC address. To set the IP address using ARP, you must know the
MAC address of the iLO MP LAN. You can find the MAC address of the iLO MP LAN on
a label on the server.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you obtain the MAC address to the iLO MP LAN and not the
MAC address to the server core LAN.
2. Verify that an active LAN cable on the local subnet is connected to the iLO MP LAN port
on the server.
3. Access a PC on the same physical subnet as the server.
4. Open a DOS window on the PC.
5. At the DOS prompt, enter arp -s to assign the IP address to the iLO MAC address.
arp -s <IP address you assign to the MP MAC address> <MP MAC address>
For example:
arp -s 192.0.2.1 00-00-0c-07-ac-00
6. At the DOS prompt, enter ping followed by the IP address to verify that the iLO MP LAN
port is configured with the appropriate IP address. The destination address is the IP address
that is mapped to the MP MAC address. Perform this task from the PC that has the ARP
table entry.
ping <IP address you assigned to the MP MAC address>
For example:
ping 192.0.2.1
7. Connect to the iLO MP LAN using this IP address.
8. Use web or Telnet access to connect to the iLO MP from a host on the local subnet and finish
setting up the LAN parameters (gateway and subnet).
Configuring the iLO MP LAN Using the RS-232 Serial Port
The following procedure shows how to configure the iLO MP LAN using the RS-232 serial port.
IMPORTANT: Do not configure duplicate IP addresses on different servers within the same
network. Duplicate server IP addresses conflict and the servers cannot connect to the network.
The LC command enables you to configure an IP address, host name, subnet mask, and gateway
address.
IMPORTANT: Ensure you have a console connection through the RS-232serial port or anetwork
connection through the LAN to access the iLO MP and use the LC command.
To assign a static IP address using the LC command, follow these steps:
94 Installing the System
Page 95
1. Ensure the emulation software device is properly configured. The terminal emulation device
runs software that interfaces with the server. The software emulates console output as it
would appear on an ASCII terminal screen and displays it on a console device screen.
2. To ensure the emulation software is correctly configured, verify the following:
a. Verify that the communication settings are configured as follows:
• 8/none (parity)
• 9600 baud
• None (receive)
• None (transmit)
b. Verify that the terminal type is configured appropriately. Supported terminal types are
as follows:
• hpterm
• vt100
• vt100+
• vt-utf8
IMPORTANT: Do not use hpterm and vt100 terminal types at the same time.
There are many different emulation software applications. Consult the help section of your
emulation software application for instructions on how to configure the software options.
3. Use Table 3-5 to determine the required connection components and the ports used to connect
the server to the console device.
4. Connect the cables.
a. Connect the DB-9 end of the RS-232 serial port female-to-female cable to the console
RS-232 serial port.
b. Connect the other end of the DB-9 female-to-female cable to the console device.
5. Start the emulation software on the console device.

a. From the LC command menu, enter D and press Enter.
b. Follow the instructions on the screen to change the DHCP status from Enabled to
Disabled.
c. Enter XD -R to reset the iLO MP.
10. Use the LC command to enter information for the IP address, host, subnet mask, gateway
parameters, and so on.
11. Enter XD -R to reset the iLO MP.
12. After the iLO MP resets, log in to the iLO MP again and enter CM at the MP> prompt.
13. Enter LS to confirm that DHCP is disabled and display a list of updated LAN configuration
settings.
Logging In to the iLO MP

if another user is logged in through these ports. Use Ctrl-B to access the MP Main Menu and the
iLO MP prompt (MP>).
Additional Setup
This section provides additional information to help you set up the iLO MP.
For complete information on the iLO MP, see the HP Integrity and HP 9000 iLO MP Operations
Guide on the HP website at http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport.
Modifying User Accounts and Default Password
The iLO MP comes preconfigured with default factory settings, including a default user account
and password. The two default user accounts at initial login are:
• All Rights (Administrator) level user:
login = Admin
password = Admin
• Console Rights (Operator) level user:
login = Oper
password = Oper
NOTE: User account and password are case sensitive.
IMPORTANT: For security reasons, HP strongly recommends that you modify the default
settings during the initial login session.
Make the following changes using any of the iLO MP user interfaces.
To modify default account configuration settings, follow these steps:
1. Log in as the administrator. You must log in as the administrator in order to modify default
user configuration settings.
2. To modify default passwords, follow these steps:
96 Installing the System
Page 97
a. Access the MP Main Menu.
b. Enter CM at the MP> prompt.
c. Enter UC at the MP:CM> prompt and follow the prompts to modify default passwords.
3. To set up user accounts, follow these steps:
a. Access the MP Main Menu.
b. Enter CM at the MP> prompt.
c. Enter UC at the MP:CM> prompt and follow the prompts to modify user accounts.
Setting Up Security
For greater security and reliability, HP recommends that iLO MP management traffic be on a
separate dedicated management network and that only administrators be granted access to that
network. This not only improves performance by reducing traffic load across the main network,
it also acts as the first line of defense against security attacks. A separate network enables
administrators to physically control which servers are connected to the network.
HP also strongly recommends that you modify the default settings during the initial login session
and determine the security access required and what user accounts and privileges are needed.
Create local accounts or use directory services to control user access. See “Modifying User
Accounts and Default Password” (page 96).
Security Access Settings
CAUTION: When DHCP is enabled, the system is vulnerable to security risks because anyone
can access the iLO MP until you change the default user name and password.
HP strongly recommends you assign user groups and rights before proceeding.
Determine the security access required and user accounts and privileges needed. The iLO MP
provides optionsto control user access. Select one of the following options to prevent unauthorized
access to the iLO MP:
• Change the default user name and password. See “Modifying User Accounts and Default
Password” (page 96).
• Create local accounts. You can store up to 19 user names and passwords to manage iLO MP
access. This is ideal for small environments such as labs and small-to-medium sized
businesses.
• Use directory services. Use the corporate directory to manage iLO MP user access. This is
ideal for environments with a large number of frequently changing users. If you plan to use
directory services, HP recommends leaving at least one local account enabledas an alternate
method of access.
Accessing the Host Console
This section describes the different ways to access the host console of the server.
Accessing the Host Console With the TUI - CO Command
This section describes the steps to access the host console using the text user interface (TUI).
To access the host console through the iLO MP, follow these steps:
1. Log in using your user account name and password at the login page.
2. At the iLO MP login prompt ( MP>), enter the CO command to switch the console terminal
from the MP Main Menu to mirrored or redirected console mode. All mirroreddata displays.

Accessing the Graphic Console Using VGA
IMPORTANT: Onboard VGA graphics capability is not supported. You must install the A6150
graphics card to enable VGA grpahics support. See “Enabling VGA Graphics Capability”
(page 99).
The graphics capability of the HP 9000 rp3410 or rp3440 server is not supported. The 15 pin VGA
port on the back of your HP server is covered and does not function. DO NOT attempt to attach
a monitor to this port.
Because the graphics chip associated with this port is onboard the MP card and cannot be turned
off, you get an UNCLAIMED UNKNOWN message if you run the ioscan command. This is normal
and can be ignored.

Powering the Server ON and OFF
This section provides information and procedures for powering the server on and off.
Power States
The server has three power states:
• Standby power
• Full power
• Off
Plug the power cord into the appropriate receptacle on the rear of the server to achieve the
standby power state; the front panel Power button is not turned on. Full power occurs when the
power cord is plugged into the appropriate receptacle, and either the power is activated through
the iLO MP PC command, or the Power button is activated. In the off state, the power cords are
not plugged in.
Table 3-8 lists the server power states.
