1Introduction
The hp rp7410 is a member of Hewlett-Packard’s business-critical computing platform family: a mid-range,
mid-volume server, positioned as an upgrade to the current N-Class product in the PL-1X product line. It
provides increased performance over its predecessor but in a smaller volume. Its shallower depth allows it to
fit in a standard rack. In addition to the hp rp7410, Hewlett-Packard offers a series of cost-effective servers
based on the hp rp7410 with somewhat less performance. See “hp rp7405 Servers” on page 5.

hp rp7405/rp7410 Overview
The hp rp7405/rp7410 is a 10U, 8-way SMP, rack-mount server that accommodates up to 32 GB of memory (64
GB available at a later date); PCI-4X I/O; and internal peripherals including disks and DVD/tape. Its high
availability features include N+1 hot-pluggable fans and power, redundant power cords, and hot-pluggable
PCI cards and internal disks. It uses the PA8700 PA-RISC processors.

Introduction
hp rp7405/rp7410 Overview
Improvements over its predecessor, N4000, include:
The cell board contains the processors, main memory, and the CC ASIC that interfaces the processors and
memory to the off-board I/O. The CC provides a crossbar connection, which allows communication with other
cell boards in the system. It connects to the PDH and SINC hardware. Each cell board holds up to 16 DIMMS.
There can be one or two cell boards installed in a server. The cell boards have hot-plug capability.

System Backplane
The system backplane comprises the system clock generation logic, the system reset generation logic,
DC-to-DC converters, power monitor logic, and two Local Bus adaptor (LBA) link-to-PCI converter ASICs. It
also includes connectors for attaching the cell boards, PCI backplane, MP Core I/O MP/SCSI boards, SCSI
cables, bulk power, chassis fans, front panel display, intrusion switches, and the system scan card. Unlike
Superdome or the rp8400, there are no XBC chips on the system backplane. The “crossbar-less” back-to-back
CC connection increases performance and reduces costs.
There are only two sets of cell board connectors, because the server has only two cells
Also, only half of the MP Core I/O board set connects to the system backplane. The MP/SCSI boards plug into
the backplane, while the LAN/SCSI boards plug into the PCI Backplane.
I/O Subsystem
All of the I/O is integrated into the system by way of the PCI busses. The CC on each cell board communicates
with one SBA over the SBA link. The SBA link consists of both an inbound and an outbound link with an
effective bandwidth of approximately 1 GB/sec. The SBA converts the SBA link protocol into “ropes”. SBA can
support up to 16 of these high-speed bi-directional links for a total aggregate bandwidth of approximately 4
GB/sec. The LBA acts as a bus bridge, supporting either one or two ropes, and capable of driving either
PCI-2x Turbo (33 MHz x 64 bits) or PCI-4 Twin Turbo (66 MHz x 64 bits) respectively.

Cell Board
The cell board contains the processors, main memory, and the cell controller (CC) ASIC that interfaces the
processors and memory to the off-board I/O. Shown in Figure 1-4 is the CC. This is the heart of the cell board.
The CC provides a crossbar connection, which allows communication with other cell boards in the system. It
connects to the PDH and SINC hardware. Each cell board holds up to 16 DIMMs. There can be one or two cell
boards installed in an system. The cell boards have hot-plug capability.

Introduction
Detailed hp rp7405/rp7410 Description
The hp rp7405/rp7410 has a 48V distributed power system and receives the 48V power from the system
backplane board. The cell board contains DC-to-DC converters to generate the required voltage rails. The
DC-to-DC converters on the cell board do not provide N+1 redundancy.
The cell board contains several major buses including:
•Runway buses for each of the four processors
•Two memory buses (one going to each half of the main memory array)
•Incoming and outgoing I/O bus that goes off board to a SBA chip
•Incoming and outgoing crossbar bus that goes off board to the other cell boards
•PDH bus that goes to the PDH/SINC circuitry
All of these buses come together at the CC chip.
Due to space limitations on the cell board the PDH/SINC circuitry resides on a riser board that plugs at a
right angle into the cell board. The cell board also includes clock circuits, test circuits and de-coupling
capacitors.
Figure 1-6 shows a simplified view of the memory subsystem. It consists of two independent access paths,
each path having its own address bus, control bus, data bus, and DIMMs. In practice, the CC runs the two
paths 180 degrees out of phase with respect to each other to facilitate pipelining in the CC. Address and
control signals are fanned out through register ports to the SDRAMs on the DIMMs.
Data transferred between the CC and SDRAM passes through custom VLSI circuits (M2) that are bit-sliced;
four form one 72-bit CC memory data bus. These circuits perform speed and width conversion between the
SDRAM and MID busses. They also perform the write (tag update) portion of a read-modify-write (RMW)
access. The CC memory data busses are bi-directional and run at 250 MT/s (million transfers per second).
These links are self-clocked in that a pair of clock strobes is passed along with the data so that phase
realignment can be done by the receiver.

Introduction
Detailed hp rp7405/rp7410 Description
PDH Riser Board
The PDH riser board is a daughter card for the cell board. It contains a micro-processor memory interface
microcircuit, processor-dependent hardware (PDH) including the processor dependant code (PDC) Flash
memory, and a manageability micro-controller, called SINC, with associated circuitry. The PDH obtains cell
board configuration information from cell board signals and from the cell's LPM. See the PDH Riser Board
ERS for operational details.
The memory interface microcircuit is the heart of the PDH. It provides the CC access to the PDH space by a
4-bit, 50-75 MHz bus. This microcircuit also supports an interrupt mechanism to the CC that can interrupt a
processor for the PDH. It provides access to the FLASH ROM and scratch RAM memory chips together with
the external registers and an interface to an I
the system. It also controls system reset and initialization signals, as well as the low-level debugger (LDB)
port, UART, semaphore register, and GPIO pins. It is the primary master for a Serial Presence Detect bus.
The PDH supports up to 4 MB of address space for ROM (FLASH) to hold the PDC firmware.
The non-volatile memory and scratch RAM have been combined and placed in a 512KB battery-backed SRAM
DIMMs
Custom designed by Hewlett-Packard, each DIMM contains 36x4 SDRAM memory components similar to
PC-133 memory but qualified to run at 125MHz. They have an low-voltage TTL interface. The CEC does not
support traditional DRAMs.

C micro controller (SINC) that monitors sensors throughout
The hp rp7405/rp7410 supports DIMMs with 128, 256, 512, and 1024 Mbit devices. Table 1-3 shows each
DIMM supported with its associated capacity, the resulting total system capacity, and the memory component
density.
DIMMs must be loaded in sets of four at specific locations. For best performance, loading sets of eight DIMMs
is recommended.

Main Memory Performance Latency to main memory is an important parameter in determining overall
system performance. With memory busses running at 125 MHz, the latency for a page hit is 8.5 cycles (68ns),
the latency for a page closed is 11.5 cycles (92ns), and the latency for a page miss is 14.5 cycles (116ns).
Cells and nPartitions
NOTEIn the following discussion, the term “cell” refers to a cell board.
A cell board that has an I/O link to a bootable device and a console (usually supplied by an MP Core I/O card)
is a potential boot cell. The cell that contains the boot console I/O path is the called the root cell. Both cells are
potential root cells. The primary or default root cell in a single nPartition system is the bottom cell (cell 1).
An nPartition (also called a Protection Domain) is a cell(s) running the same OS and sharing processes and
memory space among the components. Each nPartition must have one root cell and may have both. The hp
rp7405/rp7410 has only two possible nPartition configurations: single or dual. The additional cell that may be
part of the nPartition does not require I/O links nor MP Core I/O cards.
Chapter 1
9
Introduction
Detailed hp rp7405/rp7410 Description
In the single nPartition case, if two cells are present, either cell may be the root cell, assuming the both cells
have MP Core I/O functionality present. If only one cell is present, that cell is the root cell (and should be cell
1).
In the dual nPartition case (two cells required), each nPartition consists of one cell, and each cell must be a
root cell. The ability to interconnect two cells in one nPartition or isolate the cells in a dual nPartition system
provides system configuration flexibility. System partitioning is configured by the system management
processor.
Internal Disk Devices for hp rp7405/rp7410
As Figure 1-4 shows, in an hp rp7405/rp7410 cabinet the top internal disk drives connect to cell 1 through the
MP Core I/O for cell 1 (for 1/0/0/3/0.6) and the LAN/SCSI card in slot 1_8 (I/O chassis 1 slot 8, for
1/0/1/0/0/1/1.6). Both of the bottom disk drives (0/0/0/3/0.6 and 0/0/0/3/0.5) connect to cell 0 through the MP
core I/O for cell 0. A CD/DVD-ROM drive or DAT drive connects to cell 1 through the core I/O card for cell 1,
thus it can be accessed through the cell 1 nPartition only.

The system backplane comprises the system clock generation logic, the system reset generation logic,
DC-to-DC converters, power monitor logic, and two LBA link-to-PCI converter ASICs. It also includes
connectors for attaching the cell boards, PCI backplane, MP Core I/O MP/SCSI boards, SCSI cables, bulk
power, chassis fans, front panel display, intrusion switches, and the system scan card.

Bulk power supply
Only half of the MP Core I/O board set connects to the system backplane. The MP/SCSI boards plug into the
backplane, while the LAN/SCSI boards plug into the PCI backplane.
Clocks and Reset
The system backplane contains reset and clock circuitry that propagates through the whole system. The
central clocks drive all major chip set clocks. Therefore, these circuits represent a system wide single point of
failure.
I/O Subsystem
The cell board-to-I/O path runs from the CC to the SBA, from the SBA to the ropes, from the ropes to the LBA,
and from the LBA to the PCI buses. The CC on each cell board communicates with one SBA over the SBA
link. The SBA link consists of both an inbound and an outbound link with an effective bandwidth of
approximately 1 GB/sec. The SBA converts the SBA link protocol into “ropes.” The SBA can support up to 16
of these high-speed bi-directional rope links for a total aggregate bandwidth of approximately 4 GB/sec. The
LBA acts as a bus bridge, supporting either one or two ropes and capable of driving either PCI-2x Turbo (33
MHz x 64 bits) or PCI-4 Twin Turbo (66 MHz x 64 bits) respectively
Chapter 1
11
Introduction
Detailed hp rp7405/rp7410 Description
.
Figure 1-9I/O Subsystem Architecture
The server supports two internal SBAs. The SBAs generate 32 rope busses (16 per SBA). The 32 available
internal rope busses are divided in the following manner:
•Two ropes are routed as single rope bundles to support PCI-2x Turbo (264 MB/sec. bandwidth, 64-bit
transfers at 33 MHz) for the MP Core I/O boards for SCSI/LAN.
•Two ropes are routed as single rope bundles to two LBAs to support two slots operating at PCI-2x for
MP/SCSI.
•The remaining 28 ropes are bundled in two rope pairs to 14 LBAs to support 14 slots operating at PCI-4x
(528 MB/sec., 64-bit transfers at 66 MHz).
The hp rp7405/rp7410 uses Hewlett-Packard’s proprietary adaptive signaling concept, also known as the
Universal PCI slot concept (not to be confused with the Universal PCI card). Circuitry on the backplane
senses a standard connector, keyed for 5V, to determine the type of the cards inserted. The circuitry controls
the voltage rail supplied to the connector for powering the card’s I/O pads, VIO. The card can either be of the
5V only, or universal type. 5V only cards require VIO to be 5V, whereas universal cards operate 5V as well as
3.3V. To take advantage of the 66-MHz potential of universal cards, one must operate those cards at 3.3V. The
control circuitry on the backplane, therefore, provides 5V to the slot when a 5V-only card is present, or 3.3V
when a universal card is present. Firmware controls the setting of the slot’s clock rate.
12
Chapter 1
Introduction
Detailed hp rp7405/rp7410 Description
This concept allows maximum connectivity for mainstream 5V-only, 33 MHz, 32 bit (PCI-1x) and 64-bit
(PCI-2x) cards, as well as full I/O bandwidth utilization through the use of 64-bit, 66 MHz (PCI-4x) universal
cards.
The hp rp7405/rp7410 accommodates two sets of MP Core I/O functionality. Each MP Core I/O board set
consists of a MP/SCSI board and a Procurium LAN/SCSI board. At least one MP/SCSI board is required
(independent of partitions) An additional MP/SCSI board can be added as well (and is required in a dual
partition system). Both MP/SCSI boards are oriented vertically and plug into the system backplane. The
MP/SCSI board incorporates a dual Ultra160 SCSI controller and is hot pluggable.
Procurium LAN/SCSI Board
At least one Procurium LAN/SCSI board is required for the minimum system configuration; two are required
in a dual partition system. The Procurium board is a standard PCI form factor card with PCI card edge
connectors. The PCI backplane has one slot location reserved for the required Procurium board and another
that can accommodate either a Procurium board or any other supported add-in PCI card. The Procurium
board is hot pluggable.

Mass Storage (Disk) Backplane
Internal mass storage connections (to disks) are routed on the mass storage backplane, having connectors and
termination logic. All disks are hot pluggable. The hp rp7405/rp7410 accommodates one internal removable
media device. Therefore, only one power connector for a removable media device is required on the mass
storage backplane. The mass storage backplane incorporates a circuit that allows power to the internal
removable media device to be programmatically cycled.
Package Description
Dimensions
The dimensions of the hp rp7405/rp7410 are as follows:
•Width: 44.45 cm (17.5 inches), constrained by EIA standard 19 inch racks.
•Depth: Defined by cable management constraints to fit into standard 36 inch deep racks (Rittal/Compaq,
Rosebowl I):
25.5 inches from front rack column to PCI connector surface:
26.7 inches from front rack column to MP Core I/O connector surface
30 inches overall package dimension, including 2.7 inches protruding in front of the front rack columns.
•Height: 10U – 5.4 cm = 43.91 cm (17.287 inches). This is the appropriate height for a product that
consumes 10U of rack height while allowing adequate clearance between products directly above and
below this product. Fitting four server units per 2 m rack and upgrade of current 10U height products in
the future are the main height constraints.
System Chassis
The mass storage section located in the front allows access to removable mass storage devices without
removal of the bezel (not shown.) This is especially helpful when the system is mounted in the lowest position
in a rack. The mass storage bay accommodates one 5.25-inch removable media device and up to four 3.5-inch
hard drives. The front panel display board, containing LEDs and the system power switch, is located directly
above the 5.25-inch removable media bay.
Below the mass storage section and behind a removable bezel are two PCI DC-to-DC power converters.
The bulk power supply section is partitioned by a sealed metallic enclosure located in the bottom of the
package. This enclosure houses the 2N fully redundant BPSs.

Unpacking the Server
Hewlett-Packard shipping containers are designed to protect their contents under normal shipping
conditions. After the equipment arrives, carefully inspect each carton for signs of shipping damage. A tilt
indicator is installed on each carton shipped. The beads in the indicator will roll to the upper position if the
container has been tilted to an angle that could cause equipment damage. The tilt indicator itself will have
two windows and each window under normal conditions will show four beads present. If a carton has been
mishandled, accidentally dropped, or knocked against something, the tilt indicator will indicate missing
beads. If damage is found, document the damage with photographs and contact the transport carrier
immediately.
Examine the server cabinet for visible shipping damage. After unpacking the cabinet, check for damage that
may have been obscured by the shipping container. If damage is found after visual inspection, document the
damage with photographs and contact the transport carrier immediately.
If the equipment has any damage, a damage claim form must be obtained by the customer from the shipping
representative. The customer should complete the form and return it to the shipping representative.
NOTEThe server may come already racked, or ready for rack installation.

Unpacking the Server
Different densities of main DIMMs can be mixed within a system, but each set of four DIMMs must be
identical. A set of DIMMs is defined as the group of four DIMMs that must be loaded together on a cell board.
Each cell board has four sets of DIMM slots, and they must be populated in order. Figure 2-19 shows the order
in which the DIMM slots must be populated.
Figure 2-19DIMM Loading Sequence
Block 1 shows the minimum memory configuration per cell board. Each cell board, therefore, could have up to
four different density DIMMs (if there were that many), as long as each set of four are identical. Box 2 and
Box 4 show the more optimal memory configurations, because loading DIMMs in sets of eight takes
advantage of the pipelined structure of the memory interface of the CC.

MP Core I/O Connections
MP Core I/O Connections
Each hp rp7405/rp7410 can have up to two MP Core I/O board sets installed. This allows for two partitions to
be operating, or allows for MP Core I/O redundancy in a single partition configuration. Each MP Core I/O
board set consists of two boards: the MP/SCSI board and the LAN/SCSI board. The MP/SCSI board is
oriented vertically and accessed from the back of the server. The LAN/SCSI is accessed from the PCI
expansion card bay. Only the primary MP core I/O board set (MP/SCSI slot 1 & LAN/SCSI slot 8, Chassis 1) is
required for a single partition implementation. The secondary MP/SCSI board is not necessary for full
operation, however, without the secondary MP/SCSI board only two internal disks can be accessed.
MP/SCSI Connections
The MP/SCSI board is required to update firmware, access the console, turn partition power on/off, access all
but one of the internal peripherals, and utilize other features of the system.
Connections to the MP/SCSI board include the following:
•DB25 Connector; via the M cable.
This RS232 connector provides connections for a local console, external modem, and a UPS. The server
end of the M cable terminates in a DB25 connector. The opposite side of the cable terminates in 3 DB9
connectors labeled CONSOLE, UPS, and REMOTE.
•10/100 Base-T LAN RJ45 connector (for LAN and Web Console access).
This LAN uses standby power and is active when AC is present and the front panel power switch is off.
•Internal LVD Ultra 160 SCSI channel for connections to internal mass storage.
•Internal SE Ultra SCSI channel for connection to internal removable media device.
LAN/SCSI Connections
The LAN/SCSI board is a PCI form factor card that provides the basic external I/O connectivity for the
system.
Connections to the LAN/SCSI board include the following:
•PCI-X to PCI-X Bridge for multi-device compatibility
•Internal LVD Ultra 160 SCSI channel for connections to internal mass storage.
•External LVD Ultra 160 SCSI channel connected to a 68-pin VHDCI connector
•10/100/1000 Base-T LAN RJ45 connector.
The primary LAN interface is located on the LAN/SCSI board installed in the rightmost slot when viewing
the system from the back.
Management Processor Access
NOTEIn order to access the Management Processor for the initial installation, the M cable must first
be connected to the DB25 connector located on the Primary MP/SCSI board. The Primary
MP/SCSI board is located in the lower MP/SCSI board slot.

Setting Up the CE Tool (PC)
The CE Tool is usually a laptop. It allows communication with the Management Processor (MP) in the hp
rp7405/rp7410. The MP monitors the activity of either a one partition or a multiple partition configuration.
During installation, communicating with the MP enables such tasks as:
•Verifying that the components are present and installed correctly
•Setting LAN IP addresses
•Shutting down cell board power
Communication with the MP is established by connecting the CE Tool to the Local RS-232 port on the MP
Core I/O card.
Setting CE Tool Parameters
After powering on the CE Tool, ensure the communications settings are as follows:
•8/none (parity)
•9600 baud
•na (Receive)
•na (Transmit)

1. Connect one end of a null modem cable (9-pin to 9-pin) (Part Number 5182-4794) to the M cable connector
labeled CONSOLE.
2. Connect the other end of the RS-232 cable to the CE Tool.
Standby Power and Logging in to the MP
After connecting the serial device, it is possible to login to the Management Processor (MP). Housekeeping
power (also known as standby power) is generated as soon as AC power is applied to the server. Because the
MP uses standby power, it is possible to login to the MP even when the power switch is in the OFF position.
The power switch is a DC power switch that controls +48v DC.
Before powering up the hp rp7405/rp7410 server for the first time:
1. Verify that the AC voltage at the input source is within specifications for each hp rp7405/rp7410 being
installed.
2. If not already done so, power on the serial display device.

can damage chips, boards, and mass storage devices. However, you can safely remove the PCI
access panel while the server is running to remove and replace PCI hot-plug boards. For any
other service activity requiring access to the processor baseboard or I/O backplane, power down
the server and observe all safety precautions.
Most problems are the result of incorrect system and SCSI subsystem configurations.
To troubleshoot an installation problem, perform the following checks in the order given:
1. Check all cable and power connections, including those in the rack, etc.
2. Ensure the server is configured properly.
Check the Setup Utility. If the error is a network-related problem, determine if the server has enough
memory and hard disk drive capacity.
3. Verify all cables and boards are securely plugged into the appropriate connectors or slots.
4. Remove all extra options such as disk drives one at a time, checking its affect on the server.
5. Unplug the power cord, wait 20 seconds, plug the power cord in again, and restart the server.
6. If you suspect a hardware error, follow these steps:
a. Log users off the LAN and power down the server.
b. Extend the server out of the rack and remove the top cover.
c.Simplify the hp rp7405/rp7410 to the minimum configuration.
The minimum configuration consists of the following:
•One cell
•Two processors
•One quad of memory DIMMS (size 256MB or larger)
•One MP/SCSI card
•One LAN/SCSI card
•System Backplane
•PCI Backplane
•One BPS
•Two PCI power modules
•Two power cords.
7. Remove all third-party options, and reinstall each one, one at a time, checking the server after each
installation.
8. Replace the top cover and reconnect the power cord and other cables.

Shutting Down nPartitions and Powering Off Hardware Components
Shutting Down nPartitions and Powering Off Hardware Components
When you remove and replace hardware you may need to shut down one or more nPartitions on the server. In
some cases you also will need to power off hardware components as part of the remove and replace procedure.
This section gives details on how to ensure that an nPartition is properly shut down, and it also describes how
to power off (and power on) hardware components.
Shutting Down an nPartition
This procedure is for checking an nPartition’s boot status and, if needed, shutting down HP-UX on the
nPartition.
Step 1. Advise the customer that the system (one or more nPartitions) must be shut down for repairs.
Ensure that the customer has a current backup, and inform the customer of the anticipated
downtime.
Step 2. Login to the server’s service processor (MP).
Step 3. Use the Virtual Front Panel (VFP) to view the current state of the nPartition that you will shut
down.
From the MP Main menu, enter VFP to access the Virtual Front Panel menu, and select the
nPartition whose boot state you want to view.
Control-b (^B) to exit the VFP display.
Type
•If an nPartition has booted HP-UX, or if it is in the process of launching HP-UX, you must shut
down HP-UX on the nPartition.
When HP-UX is running on an nPar, its VFP displays “HP-UX heartbeat” with a blinking
asterisk (*) to indicate its interactivity.
In this case, proceed with the next step.
•If the nPartition is at its Boot Console Handler (BCH) interface, then HP-UX has already been
shut down.
•If the nPartition currently is booting, then you should wait for it to reach the BCH interface
and—if necessary—interrupt auto-boot when you see the “Attempting to boot” and “To
discontinue, press any key within 10 seconds” messages.
If the nPartition is at the BCH menu interface then HP-UX is shut down. Otherwise, proceed with
the next step to shut down HP-UX.
Step 4. From the MP Main menu, enter CO and select the console for the nPartition you plan to shut down.
You should have access to the HP-UX login prompt (or command line) when using the nPartition’s
console. If you have no interactivity at the console, HP-UX may be halted or hung.
Step 5. At the nPartition’s console, login to HP-UX and shut down the operating system.
After making arrangements with the customer, issue the shutdown command to shut down and
halt HP-UX on the nPartition.
58
Chapter 4
Removal and Replacement
Shutting Down nPartit ions and Poweri ng Off Hardware Components
For example, the shutdown -h 240 command will shut down and halt HP-UX on the nPartition
after waiting for a grace period of four minutes (240 seconds).
To reboot the nPartition after it is halted, use the MP Command menu’s RS command to restart the
nPartition. (This allows the nPartition to reset and boot to its BCH interface; if auto-boot is
configured it also boots HP-UX.)
Powering Off Hardware Components
This procedure is for powering off and powering on components that are to be removed and replaced.
Step 1. Login to the server’s service processor (MP).
Step 2. If the component you will power off is assigned to an nPartition, then use the Virtual Front Panel
(VFP) to view the current boot state of the nPartition.
HP-UX on the nPartition must be shut down before you power off any of the hardware assigned to
the nPartition.
Once you are certain the nPartition is not running HP-UX, you can power off components that
belong to the nPartition.
Refer to the procedure Shutting Down an nPartition for details on determining the nPartition boot
state and shutting down HP-UX.
Step 3. Access the MP Command menu.
From the MP Main menu enter CM to access the Command menu.
Step 4. Use the MP Command menu’s PS command to check details about the hardware component you
plan to power off.
The PS command enables you to check the status of the cabinet, system backplane, MP Core I/O,
PCI power domains — or bricks — in the I/O card cage, and cells.
Step 5. Use the MP Command menu’s PE command to power off the hardware component.
Using the PE command you can power on or off the cabinet (including all cells and I/O in the
cabinet), individual cells, or PCI power domains (bricks).
Using the Command menu’s PE command to manage cabinet power is equivalent to using the front
panel power switch.
Step 6. If you need to disable all power in the entire cabinet, you also must disconnect all power cords in
order to disable all housekeeping power.
NOTEEnsure that all power cords are labeled to indicate which receptacle each cord plugs
into. Because of power redundancy capabilities it is important that each power cord
plugs into its proper receptacle.
Also, ensure that the cabinet power has been turned off before disconnecting any
power cords.
Step 7. Perform the hardware removal and replacement procedure for the powered off component.
Step 8. If needed, reconnect all power cords to the receptacles where they belong.
Chapter 4
59
Removal and Replacement
Shutting Down nPartitions and Powering Off Hardware Components
Step 9. Use the MP Command menu’s PE command to power on the hardware component that you powered
off.
Step 10. Use the MP Command menu’s PS command to confirm the status of the newly replaced component.
NOTEYou may need to allow time for some components to complete power on self tests
(POST) before a complete status is available.
