Chapter 1: Controls, Ports, and Indicators

Applying Power to the HP Server

Before applying power to the HP Server, verify that the keyboard and mouse are connected to the proper ports. The server will not boot without these devices. Turning on the monitor prior to powering on the HP Server allows proper auto-configuration of the video output as it boots.

Powering-Up the HP Server

To power-up the rx4610, complete the following procedure:

NOTE Turn on power to the monitor connected to the HP Server before you power-on the

Server. This allows proper auto-configuration of video output of the Server as it boots.

1. Make sure that the monitor, keyboard, and mouse have been connected to the proper ports on the rear panel of the server.

2. Remove the drive protection card, if present, from the diskette drive.

3. Plug in the power cord for the monitor and turn it on.

4. Plug the female ends of the server AC power cords into the input receptacle on the back of the chassis.

5. Plug the male ends of the server AC power cords into grounded, three-pronged AC power outlet.

6. Slide the server into the rack.

7. If the server does not come on when you plug it into the AC outlet, press the on/off power switch on the front panel.

8. Verify that the power-on light on the front panel is lit. After a few seconds, the power-on self test (POST) begins.

When you press the power button on the control panel, the Server powers up and loads the operating system. The system runs a set of power on self tests (POST) during this process. For details refer to Chapter 11, "Troubleshooting."

Powering-Down the HP Server

To power-down the HP Server, complete the following procedure:

1. Log off all users and, if necessary, back up the system files.

◊ Schedule the power down for a time when the Server being down will affect the fewest

users.

◊ If you will be doing any kind of hardware or software upgrade, ensure the Server's data has

been backed up.

◊ Follow instructions in your network operating system (NOS) documentation to gracefully

shut down all networking software and applications.

WARNING The power supply will continue to provide standby current to the HP Server until

the power cable is disconnected from the rear panel.

Chapter 1: Controls, Ports, and Indicators

2. Logoff and exit the operating system. The following prompt appears:

Shell>

3. At the Shell> prompt, press and hold the Power button for several seconds. Holding the Power button in for several seconds will power down the server.

4. Disconnect the power cords from the power source.

Normally this completes the power-down procedure.

Connecting AC Power to Multiple-Server Configurations

The HP Server temporarily draws a large "inrush current," when first connected to an AC power source. This also occurs when the Server is in a standby mode (power is turned off, but the power cord is plugged into AC power). The inrush current is much greater than the Server's normal operating current and generally, the AC power source can handle the normal inrush current.

However, if you install several HP Servers on one circuit, precautions are necessary. If there is a power failure and power is then restored, all the servers immediately begin to draw inrush current at the same time. If the circuit breakers on the incoming power line have insufficient capability, the breaker may trip and thus prevent the servers from powering up.

2 Opening and Closing the HP Server

Introduction

This chapter describes how to remove and replace the front bezel and the HP Server's main cover.

Mounting the Front Bezel

The front handles, if not already installed on the HP Server, should be attached to the front of the HP Server before mounting the bezel.

1. Place the handles into the slots on the front of the HP Server on each edge, as shown in the figure below.

Chapter 3: Installing Fans and Power Supplies

Hot Swapping Power Supplies

The power system contains four 800-watt autoranging power supplies. The third bay’s power supply from the left as you face the chassis serves a redundancy function for the server’s power supply requirements.

CAUTION Because of chassis airflow disruption, the power supply bay should not be vacant

for more than five minutes when server power is on. Exceeding the five-minute limit might cause system cooling to fall below the minimum required level and possibly cause damage to system components.

NOTE The server requires a minimum of three power supplies to operate. If you have

only three power supplies operational, they must occupy the first, second, and fourth power supply bays as you face the chassis. Figure 3-3 shows the power supply installation order.

If only 3 power supplies are operational, place a filler panel over the fourth bay in the installation order.

Figure 3-3. Power Supply Installation Order

Chapter 3: Installing Fans and Power Supplies

Determining Power Supply Status

When the amber power supply failure LED on the front of the chassis turns on, determine which power supply is defective by checking the three status LEDs on each supply. Each power supply has three LEDs that both indicate whether power is supplied to the power supply and the health of the power supply. The LEDs are ordered top to bottom on each power supply. Table 3-1 illustrates the states indicated by the three LEDs.

4 Installing Mass Storage Devices

Introduction

The HP Server comes standard with a DVD and a floppy diskette drive. The internal mass storage cages support a maximum of two hot swap drive carriers. Each carrier can house a standard one inch high by three and half inch wide SCSI-2 or SCSI-3 hard drive. The internal SCSI drives are mounted to the carriers using four screws.

Mass Storage Guidelines

• General Guidelines

◊ Use care when unpacking and handling the SCSI disk drives.

The hard disk drives are very susceptible to mechanical shock and can be easily damaged by a drop as short as one-quarter of an inch. If the drop would crack an egg, it will damage the drive.

◊ Do not stack drives.

◊ The HP Server is internally limited to 2 SCSI disk drives

• IDE Devices

◊ The diskette drive and DVD drive are standard on all models of the HP Server. They are

housed in two piece drive carrier assemblies that rest on the chassis surface. They are accessible when the top cover is removed. See Figures 4-3 and 4-4.

◊◊◊◊ The Legacy I/O board contains the PCI-enhanced IDE interface with two IDE buses. The

primary IDE 0 bus supports the diskette drive and the secondary IDE 1 bus supports the DVD drive.

Refer to "System Board Layout" in Appendix A, "Specifications."

• SCSI Device Selection

◊◊◊◊ A Qlogic ISP12160A Ultra3 SCSI chip is a highly integrated bus master, dual-channel

SCSI I/O processor for SCSI initiator and target applications. The chip supports dual channel, Ultra3 (160) SCSI functionality and is pin compatible with QLogic’s ISP12160 Ultra3 SCSI processor as well as QLogic’s ISP1280 dual SCSI processor.

◊◊◊◊ Use only low-voltage differential (LVD) SCSI devices.

Boot Priority

The HP Server's boot order should be considered when selecting a PCI slot on the system board. This is especially important if you are installing a board that requires an early number in the boot order. The board's boot priority is set by its slot location in the boot order.

By default the HP Server searches for boot devices in this order:

1. SCSI

2. PM

3. SM

Chapter 4: Installing Mass Storage Devices

4. PS

5. Other Boot Devices

IDE DVD drive

Flexible disk drive

6. PCI slot 1

7. PCI slot 2

8. PCI slot 3

9. PCI slot 4

10. PCI slot 5

11. PCI slot 6

12. PCI slot 7

13. PCI slot 8

14. PCI slot 9

15. PCI slot 10

The SCSI controller chip interfaces the PCI bus to two Ultra3 SCSI buses and contains an onboard RISC processor. The RISC processor is a fully autonomous device, capable of managing multiple I/O operations and associated data transfers from start to finish without host intervention. It provides power management feature support in accordance with the PCI Bus Power Management Interface Specification.

NOTE The boot order can be changed using the Server's (BIOS) Setup Utility and the

Qlogic SCSI Utility. Refer to Chapter 10, "Configuring the HP Server" for more information.

Tools Required

The following tools are required for the removal and installation of mass storage devices in the HP Server:

• Phillips (cross-head) screwdriver (#2).

• Small flat-bladed screwdriver.

• Jumper-removal tool or needle-nosed pliers.

• Antistatic wrist strap and conductive foam pad (recommended).

• Pen or pencil.

• Equipment log: to record the model and serial numbers of components.

Installing a Hot Swap Hard Drive

The HP Server supports a variety of single-ended SCSI SCA-type hard disk drives. The area of the chassis below the system’s controls and indicators on the front panel houses up to two 3.5-inch bays. Each bay can contain a single industry-standard SCSI-2 or SCSI-3, one-inch high hard disk drive

Chapter 6: Installing an Additional Processor

6 Installing an Additional Processor

Introduction

Each processor is packaged in a Slot M pin array cartridge. Depending on the configuration, your system has two to four processors. Each processor is powered by a 48V power pod, located adjacent to the processor on the processor board. Attached to the top of each processor is a heat sink that dissipates thermal energy. CPU thermal dummies must be installed where a processor is absent to properly direct cooling airflow.

Tools Required

The following tools are required to access and install or remove the processors:

• Phillips screwdriver (cross-head with #2 bit)

• Jumper removal tool or needle-nosed pliers

• An anti-static service kit (3M 8501/8502/8503 or equivalent). This kit includes a static-

dissipating work surface, a chassis clip lead, and a wrist strap.

• Equipment Log

Processor Configuration Guidelines

The HP Server supports a variety of processor speeds with an FSB (front side bus) speed of 133 MHz. The HP Server supports processor speeds of 733 MHz and 800 MHz.

CAUTION Do not open the new processor's protective bag or remove it from the bag until

you are ready to install it.

Before you remove a processor from the anti-static container, touch a grounded, unpainted metal surface on the HP Server to discharge static electricity.

• Both processors must be the same processor type and have the same product number, which

insures the same clock speed, cache size, and FSB speed.

• The processors must operate at the designated speed stated by the product type on the

processor.

• If the server has two processors, they must reside on the top half of the Processor/Memory

Complex.

z Use only processor upgrade kits with the same HP product number.

This ensures the processor type, clock speed, and cache sizes are the same.

Chapter 7: Installing Accessory Boards

7 Installing Accessory Boards

Introduction

The HP Server has ten I/O expansion slots available. PCI slots P1-P2 are 64-bit/33 MHz non-Hot Plug I/O expansion slots. PCI slots P3-P10 are 64-bit/66 MHz PCI Hot Plug I/O expansion slots . The PCI expansion slots are contained in four PCI segments:

• F16, 0 provides for PCI slots 1 and 2, video, and the PXB that controls the Super I/O

functions.

• F16, 1 provides for PCI slots 3 through 5 and the dual-channel LVDS controller.

• F16, 2 provides for slots 6 through 8.

• F16, 3 provides for slots 9 and 10.

Tested PCI Boards

For a list of tested PCI boards, check for compatibility in the Hardware Tested Products list for the HP Server under the Service and Support topic for the specific NOS used in the HP Server at HP’s web site:

http://www.hp.com/

CAUTION Some accessory board outputs may exceed U.S. National Electrical code (NFPA

70) Class 2 or limited power source limits and must use appropriate interconnecting cabling in accordance with the National Electrical Code. (All Hewlett-Packard boards comply with Class 2.)

Also refer to the Readme file and Chapter 10, "Configuring the HP Server," for instructions.

Tools Required

The tools used to remove or add accessory boards in the HP Server include:

• Phillips screwdriver (cross-head with #2 bit)

• Jumper removal tool or needle-nosed pliers

• An anti-static service kit (3M 8501/8502/8503 or equivalent). This kit includes a static-

dissipating work surface, a chassis clip lead, and a wrist strap.

• Equipment log and pencil.

Accessory Board Installation Guidelines

The following sections provide the guidelines necessary to install the PCI accessory boards into the HP Server.

IRQ Settings

The IRQ settings are automatically assigned and don't require user intervention. The HP Server uses the Plug-and-Play feature of the PCI boards to correctly assign its resources automatically.

Chapter 7: Installing Accessory Boards

Boot Priority

The Server’s boot priority (BIOS search order for a boot drive) should be considered when selecting a PCI slot on the system board. This is especially important if you are installing a board that requires an early number in the boot order. The board's boot priority is set by its slot location in the boot order. See Figure 7-3.

The embedded SCSI controller consists of two channels, A and B. Channel A is typically used to control the internal SCSI drives. Channel B is typically used to control the external SCSI devices or used with Channel A to create disk duplexing. On each SCSI channel, the HP Server scans for a boot device starting at device ID 0 and works up from there.

By default the HP Server searches for boot devices in this order:

1. SCSI

2. PM

3. SM

4. PS

5. Other Boot Devices

IDE DVD drive

Flexible disk drive

6. PCI slot 1

7. PCI slot 2

8. PCI slot 3

9. PCI slot 4

10. PCI slot 5

11. PCI slot 6

12. PCI slot 7

13. PCI slot 8

14. PCI slot 9

15. PCI slot 10

Installing Accessory Boards

The HP Server has eight hot swap PCI board slots and two non-hot swap PCI board slots. Expansion slot covers must be installed on all vacant slots to maintain the electromagnetic emission characteristics of the server and to ensure proper cooling of the system. The following procedures detail the steps required to install both types of boards.

Installing a Hot Swap PCI Board

The HP Server has eight hot plug PCI I/O slots in the I/O Baseboard. You can replace a hot plug PCI I/O board without shutting down the server. However, you must use the operating system or a resident GUI to shut down or power off the PCI I/O board before you replace it.

The PCI hot-plug (PHP) is a rotating plastic mechanism that actuates a switch located on the PCI hot plug LED board. Each PCI slot has four indicator LEDs: two on the outside and two on the inside of

Chapter 7: Installing Accessory Boards

the system. The LEDs operate differently depending upon the operating system installed. Please refer to your operating system’s manual.

To install a hot swap hot plug PCI I/O board, complete the following steps:

1. If your server is operating, use your operating system or GUI application to make sure the PCI slot that you are installing the board into is powered down.

WARNING Make sure that the rack is anchored securely, so it will not tip when the server

chassis is extended.

2. Pull the chassis out of the rack as far as it will go.

3. Loosen the two thumbscrews in the back of the chassis that secure the rear part of the top cover.

4. Lift the rear cover to expose the hot plug PCI slots.

CAUTION Do not touch the components or gold edge connectors on the add-in board as this

may damage the connectors causing erratic performance.

5. Remove the card from its protective wrapper, and place it component-side up on a nonconductive, antistatic surface.

6. Record in your log the serial number of the board and any jumpers or switch settings according to the board manufacturer’s instructions. See Appendix B for the equipment log form.

7. Skip to step 8 if you are installing a board in an empty slot. To replace a board or install a different board in an occupied slot, after the LED shows which slot is powered down, press the center of the PHP mechanism to disengage it from the LED board.

8. Be sure that the plastic retaining mechanism (I/O Card Guide) that secures the end of the board nearest the front of the chassis is open so that it will allow a board to be removed/inserted.

Chapter 8: Server Management

8 Server Management Boards

Introduction

The server management features are implemented using three microcontrollers: the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC), the Intelligent Chassis Management Bus Controller (ICMB) controller on the Legacy I/O board, and the Hot-Swap Controller (HSC) on the Power Distribution Board (T-Docking). The firmware of the three microcontrollers is field upgradeable using the Firmware Update utility.

This chapter describes the boards that are utilized by these microcontrollers to provide server management functions and status:

• I/O Baseboard

• Sideplane Board

• PCI Hot Plug LED Board

• Legacy I/O Board

• Power Distribution Board (T-Docking)

Baseboard Management Controller (BMC)

The Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) is a microcontroller with associated circuitry that resides on the Legacy I/O board. The primary purpose of the BMC is to autonomously monitor for system platform management events, and log their occurrence in the non-volatile System Event Log (SEL). System platform management events include over-temperature and over-voltage conditions as well as fan failures.

The following is a list of the major functions of the BMC:

• Access to the monitored information so system management software can poll and retrieve the

present status of the platform.

• Functions for the front-side system controls and indicators. These functions include control of

system power, hard-resets, Power LED displays, cooling fault detection, general fault detection, and power fault LED displays. The BMC provides this control both when the system is powered down and is functioning on standby power only, and when the system is powered up.

• Access to the non-volatile Sensor Data Record (SDR) Repository. Sensor Data Records

provide information that the system management software uses to automatically configure itself for the number and type of Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) sensors in the system (e.g. temperature and voltage sensors).

• System Power Control

• Platform Event Paging (PEP) / Platform Event Filtering (PEF)

• Power Distribution Board monitoring

• Temperature and Voltage monitoring

Intelligent Chassis Management Bus (ICMB) Controller

The ICMB Controller resides on the Legacy I/O Board. It serves as a bridge between the internal Intelligent Platform Management Bus (IPMB) and the external Intelligent Chassis Management Bus (ICMB). The internal IPMB transports server management information within a system, and the external ICMB transports server management information between various chassis in a server(s) and peripherals cluster configuration.

Hot Swap Controller (HSC)

The Hot Swap Controller (HSC) resides on the Power Distribution Board (T-Docking). The primary functions of the HSC are as follows:

• Implements the SAF-TE command set

• Controls the fault lights

Chapter 8: Server Management

• Provides a path for management information via SCSI

• Retrieves drive fault status, Backplane temperature, and fan failure information via IPMB

• Queries the status of the power distribution board by retrieving information from the BMC via

the IPMB

• Controls drive power-on and power-down, facilitating hot-swapping.

Chapter 10: Configuring the HP Server

10 Configuring the HP Server

Introduction

This chapter provides instructions for the utilities provided with your HP Server. It supplements the basic installation steps provided in the “HP Server rx4610 Installation Guide”. The CD-ROM shipped with your server contains the latest information regarding the various software and firmware utilities.

Configuring the HP Server

These utilities are used for powering on the system, modifying the standard configuration, initial server set up, testing functionality, and upgrading your server. The following procedures are described below:

• Power-on Sequence and Power-on Self Test

• EFI Boot Manager

• Server Management Configuration Utility

• BIOS Setup Utility

• QLogic SCSI Utility

• SELViewer Utility

• SDR Viewer Utility

• IFlash64

• FWUpdate

• FDUSDR

Power-on Sequence and Power-on Self Test (POST)

Turning on the system causes POST to run and control to pass to the Boot Manager. From the Boot Manager, you can choose to invoke the EFI Shell or you can choose to go to the Boot Maintenance Menu. For information on the Boot Manager, refer to “The Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) Boot Manager”. For information on the EFI Shell, refer to “The Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) Shell”.

Follow these steps to power up the HP Server:

1. Press the Power on/off button on the Front Control Panel. Pressing this button causes the server fans to start up and POST begins to run. You can monitor boot progress in two different places: the video display and the LCD display on the Front Panel. Information appears in the LCD display first.

NOTE To enter the BIOS Setup Utility you must immediately start pressing <F2>

repeatedly after you first power on the server. Doing so interrupts the boot process

Chapter 10: Configuring the HP Server

and allows you to use the utility. For more information on entering and using the utility, refer to “Using BIOS Setup” in this chapter.

2. POST begins running. POST checks the drive carriers, processors, memory, keyboard, and most installed peripheral devices. During the memory test, POST displays the amount of memory it is able to access and test. The length of time needed to test memory depends on the amount of memory installed. POST is stored in flash memory.

3. The LCD displays boot progress as follows:

Boot,First Row Test (should always be 64MB)

Base Memory Test (2GB max)

Ext Memory Test (will report out if enough memory is available)

CMOS Test

Keybrd Bat Test

Initialize Timer

PCI Bus Scan

Initialize Video

Keyboard Test

Initialize IDE

Serial Test

Prepare to Boot

Processor Speed

4. Video appears on the monitor attached to the system and begins to display boot progress.

◊◊◊◊ AMI BIOS banner: displays the loaded versions of the BIOS, PAL, SAL, and EFI.

◊◊◊◊ QLogic banner: allows you the opportunity to enter the QLogic SCSI utility by entering

the key combination <Alt-Q>. The QLogic SCSI utility allows you to manage and configure the server’s SCSI devices. For information on the screens available in this utility, refer to “QLogic SCSI Utility”.

5. POST concludes and passes control to the Boot Manager.

6. From the Boot Manager, you can use arrow keys to highlight the option that invokes the EFI Shell, or you can highlight and select the Boot Maintenance Menu. Booting to the EFI Shell causes the following prompt to appear:

Shell>

7. When you see the Shell> prompt, load and start the operating system.

The Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) Boot Manager

The EFI Boot Manager allows you to control the server’s booting environment. Depending on how you have configured the boot options, after the server is powered up the Boot Manager presents you with different ways to bring up the system. For example, you can boot to the EFI Shell, to an operating system located on the network or residing on media in the server, or the Boot Maintenance Menu.

Chapter 10: Configuring the HP Server

EFI Shell A simple, interactive environment that allows EFI

device drivers to be loaded, EFI applications to be launched, and operating systems to be booted. In addition, the shell also provides a set of basic commands used to manage files and the system environment variables. For more information on the EFI Shell, refer to “The Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) Shell”.

Boot Options Files that you include as boot options. You add and

delete boot options by using the Boot Maintenance Menu. Each boot option specifies an EFI executable with possible options. For information on the Boot Maintenance Menu options, refer to Table 10-1.

Boot Maintenance Menu

A menu of items that let you configure boot options and configure other boot environment variables.

Chapter 10: Configuring the HP Server

Table 10-1 describes each menu item in the Boot Maintenance Menu.

Table 10-1. Boot Maintenance Menu Options

Option Description

Boot from a File Automatically adds EFI applications as boot options or

allows you to boot from a specific file.

When you choose this option, the system searches all the EFI System Partitions in the system. For each partition it looks for an EFI directory. If the EFI directory is found, then it looks in each of the subdirectories below EFI. In each of those subdirectories, it looks for the first file that is an executable EFI Application. Each of the EFI Applications that meet this criterion can be automatically added as a boot option. In addition, legacy boot options for A: and C: are also added if those devices are present.

You can also launch a specific application without adding it as a boot option. In this case the EFI Boot Manager searches the root directories and the \EFI\TOOLS directories of all of the EFI System Partitions present in the system for the specified EFI Application.

Add a Boot Option Adds a boot option to the EFI Boot Manager. You

specify the option by providing the name of the EFI application. Along with the name you can also provide either ASCII or UNICODE arguments the file might use.

Given the EFI application name and any options, the EFI Boot Manager searches for the executable file in the same partitions and directories as described in “Boot from a File” option. When the file is found, it is executed.

Delete Boot Options

Allows the user to delete a specific boot option or all boot options.

Change Boot Order Allows the user to control the relative order in which the

EFI Boot Manager attempts boot options. For help on the control key sequences you need for this option, refer to the help menu.

Manage BootNext Setting

Set Automatic Boot Timeout

Allows the user to select a boot option to use one time (the next boot operation).

Allows you to define the value in seconds that pass before the system automatically boots without user intervention. Setting this value to zero disables the timeout feature.

Close Redir & Return EMP Mode to Active

Allows you to switch the COM2 from the system port (used for redirection) and gives control of the COM2 port to EMP (Emergency Management Port).

Cold Reset Performs a platform-specific cold reset of the system. A

cold reset traditionally means a full platform reset.

Chapter 10: Configuring the HP Server

Option

Description

Exit Returns control to the EFI Boot Manager main menu.

This will display the active boot devices, including a possible integrated shell (if the implementation is so constructed).

The Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) Shell

The EFI Shell is an EFI application that allows other EFI Applications to be launched. The combination of the EFI firmware and the EFI Shell provide an environment that can be modified to easily adapt to many different hardware configurations. The EFI shell is a simple, interactive environment that allows EFI device drivers to be loaded, EFI applications to be launched, and operating systems to be booted. In addition, the shell also provides a set of basic commands used to manage files and the system environment variables.

After booting the server to the EFI Shell, you have all its commands available to you. Table 10-2 provides a brief description of the commands.

In addition to shell commands made available to you, the EFI environment allows you to create your own shell commands and EFI applications. For detailed information about the EFI Shell, its commands, and the ability to develop within the environment, refer to the EFI Developer’s Guide. To find this guide, you must download the “EFI sample implementation source code” from the sample implementation download area of the Extensible Firmware Interface Web Site. Go to the following URL and click on the “EFI sample implementation source code”. Once you download the sample, locate the Microsoft Word file named “Efi_dg.doc” in the “Notes” folder.

Server Management Configuration Utility

The Server Management Configuration Utility (SM Config) is an EFI-based program used to view or modify the Server Management firmware configuration data. The firmware configuration is maintained by the BMC. The executable program for the utility is named SMconfig.efi. SM Config provides the following functions:

• Configure the Emergency Management Port (EMP) for remote server management over a

modem or direct serial connection.

• Configure the Direct Platform Control over LAN feature (DPC\LAN) for remote server

management over the network.

• Configure power restoration policies when the system loses AC power.

• Set the accelerated cool-down timeout.

• Set the Fault Resilient Boot (FRB) timeout.

• Configure the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) features.

• Enable or disable Platform Event Filtering (PEF) and Platform Event Paging (PEP).

Running the Server Management Configuration Utility

Follow these steps to run the SM Config Utility:

1. Boot to the EFI Shell.

2. Change to the SMCONFIG directory located on the EFI Based Offline Utilities disk.

3. Load the IPMI driver by typing the following command:

load ipmi.efi

4. Run the utility by typing the following command:

smconfig

The utility automatically loads configuration data from the smconfig.ini file. This data is used to build the contents of the Config Data pull-down menu in the utility

Main Window

The SM Config pull-down menu lets your select the main features of the utility. To access menu items, use the arrow keys. Press the <Enter> key to select a menu item. A brief description of each menu item is displayed in the tip-view window at the bottom of the screen.

File Open

When an ini file is opened, SM Config validates the contents of the smconfig.ini file and updates the Config menu with the configuration items in the smconfig.ini file.

Updating/Viewing Config Data

The Config menu contains a dynamic list of options that corresponds to the configuration classes in the smconfig.ini file. Each configuration class in the smconfig.ini file represents a configuration item, such as EMP or PEP.

Chapter 10: Configuring the HP Server

When you select an item from the Config menu, the utility reads the configuration data of that item from the BMC and creates a setup page containing those values. The setup pages may have dropdown boxes, edit boxes, and/or buttons. Use the <Tab>, <F5>, or Down arrow keys to move forward, and use <F6> or Up arrow keys to move backwards between each item.

Press the <Enter> key while on a drop-down box to display the other options available. Then use the arrow keys to move up or down the list. Press the <Enter> key to select an item from the dropdown box. Each item in the drop-down boxes displays a brief description in the tip-view window. Use the <Esc> key to exit from any level of the configuration to a previous level.

Save the configuration data by selecting the <Save> button and pressing <Enter>. Use the <Cancel> button or <Esc> key to abort changes and return to the main window.

Platform Setup

The Platform setup page lets you configure platform-specific features, including the accelerated cooldown period.

Accelerated Cool Down

This feature lets you enable the system to cool down more rapidly when the system is powered off. Set the accelerated cool-down timeout in seconds. The range is 0 to 65535 seconds. If accelerated cool-down is enabled, that is, the cool-down time is not 0, the BMC leaves the system fans running for the specified time after the system is powered down.

Power Setup

The Power setup page is used to configure these power features:

Power Feature

Power Restore Policy Determines what happens when the system

loses and then regains AC power. The choices are:

• Always on: The system is powered on

after AC power is restored.

• Always off: The system will be left

powered off after AC power is restored.

• Restore Power state: The system is

restored to its previous on or off state before AC power was lost. This is the default.

Power Restore Delay The delay in seconds before the power

restore policy is enacted. The range is 0 to 15 seconds.

Power Cycle Delay The delay in seconds between power cycles.

The range is 0 to 255 seconds, where 0 is the default value. For this period of time after the system is turned off, the BMC ignores the front panel power switch if anyone attempts to turn the system back on.
