NMI switch

The NMI switch allows administrators to perform a memory dump before performing a hard reset. Crash dump analysis is an essential part of eliminating reliability problems, such as hangs or crashes in operating systems, device drivers, and applications. Many crashes freeze a system, requiring you to do a hard reset. Resetting the system erases any information that would support root cause analysis.

Systems running Microsoft® Windows® operating systems experience a blue screen trap when the operating system crashes. When this happens, Microsoft® recommends that system administrators perform an NMI event by pressing a dump switch. The NMI event enables a hung system to become responsive again.

System LEDs and internal health LED combinations

When the internal health LED on the front panel illuminates either amber or red, the server is experiencing a health event. Combinations of illuminated system LEDs and the internal health LED indicate system status.

The front panel health LEDs indicate only the current hardware status. In some situations, HP SIM may report server status differently than the health LEDs because the software tracks more system attributes.

SAS and SATA device numbers

Identifying the status of a hard drive

When a drive is configured as a part of an array and connected to a powered-up controller, the condition of the drive can be determined from the illumination pattern of the hard drive status lights (LEDs).

SAS and SATA hard drive LED combinations

1 - Fault/UID LED (amber/blue)

2 - Online/Activity LED (green)

Interpretation

Flashing amber and blue

On, off, or flashing The drive has failed, or a predictive failure alert has been

received for this drive; it also has been selected by a management application.

Blue On, off, or flashing The drive is operating normally, and it has been selected by

a management application.

Flashing amber On A predictive failure alert has been received for this drive.

Replace the drive as soon as possible.

Off On The drive is online, but it is not active currently.

Flashing amber Flashing

Do not remove the drive. Removing a drive may terminate the current operation and cause data loss.

The drive is part of an array that is undergoing capacity expansion or stripe migration, but a predictive failure alert has been received for this drive. To minimize the risk of data loss, do not replace the drive until the expansion or migration is complete.

Off Flashing

Do not remove the drive. Removing a drive may terminate the current operation and cause data loss.

The drive is rebuilding, or it is part of an array that is undergoing capacity expansion or stripe migration.

Flashing amber Flashing The drive is active, but a predictive failure alert has been

received for this drive. Replace the drive as soon as possible.

Off Flashing The drive is active, and it is operating normally.

Amber Off A critical fault condition has been identified for this drive, and

the controller has placed it offline. Replace the drive as soon as possible.

Flashing amber Flashing A predictive failure alert has been received for this drive.

Status

Amber = One fan in this module has failed.

Red = Multiple fans in this module have failed.

Off = All fans in this module are operating normally.

For power supply zone fan module LED information, refer to "System Board LEDs (on page 14

)."

Powering down the server

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, electric shock, or damage to the equipment, remove the power cord to remove power from the server. The front panel Power On/Standby button does not completely shut off system power. Portions of the power supply and some internal circuitry remain active until AC power is removed.

IMPORTANT: If installing a hot-plug device, it is not necessary to

power down the server.

1. Back up the server data.

2. Shut down the operating system as directed by the operating system

documentation.

3. If the server is installed in a rack, press the UID LED button on the front

panel. Blue LEDs illuminate on the front and rear panels of the server.

4. Press the Power On/Standby button to place the server in standby mode.

When the server activates standby power mode, the system power LED changes to amber.

5. If the server is installed in a rack, locate the server by identifying the

illuminated rear UID LED button.

6. Disconnect the power cords.

The system is now without power.

Server operations 25

Extending the server from the rack

NOTE: If the optional cable management arm option is installed, you

can extend the server without powering down the server or disconnecting peripheral cables and power cords. These steps are only necessary with the standard cable management solution.

1. Power down the server ("Powering down the server" on page 24).

2. Disconnect all peripheral cables and power cords from the server rear panel.

3. Loosen the thumbscrews that secure the server faceplate to the front of the

rack.

4. Extend the server on the rack rails until the server rail-release latches engage.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage, be sure that the rack is adequately stabilized before extending a component from the rack.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, be careful when pressing the server rail-release latches and sliding the server into the rack. The sliding rails could pinch your fingers.

5. After performing the installation or maintenance procedure, slide the server

back into the rack: a. Slide the server fully into the rack.

26 HP ProLiant DL360 Generation 4p Server (SAS Model) User Guide

b. Secure the server by tightening the thumbscrews.

6. Reconnect the peripheral cables and power cords.

Removing the access panel

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the internal system components to cool before touching them.

CAUTION: Do not operate the server for long periods without the access panel. Operating the server without the access panel results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.

1. Power down the server if the standard cable management solution is installed

("Powering down the server" on page 24

NOTE: If the optional cable management arm is installed, you can extend the server and perform hot-plug installation or maintenance procedures without powering down the server.

2. Extend the server from the rack, if applicable ("Extending the server from the

rack" on page 25

3. Lift up on the hood latch handle and remove the access panel.

Installing the access panel

1. Place the access panel on top of the server with the hood latch open. Allow

the panel to extend past the rear of the server approximately 8 mm (0.2 in).

2. Engage the anchoring pin with the corresponding hole in the latch.

3. Push down on the hood latch. The access panel slides to a closed position.

Server operations 27

Removing PCI riser board assembly

CAUTION: To prevent damage to the server or expansion boards, power down the server and remove all AC power cords before removing or installing the PCI riser cage.

NOTE: If the expansion slot is populated with the standard PCI-X storage controller card, it should not be converted to PCI Express.

1. Power down the server ("Powering down the server" on page 24).

2. Extend the server from the rack, if applicable ("Extending the server from the

rack" on page 25

3. Remove the access panel ("Removing the access panel" on page 26

4. Remove the PCI riser board assembly: a. Disconnect external cables connected to any existing expansion boards. b. Loosen the four PCI riser board assembly thumbscrews. c. Lift the front of the assembly slightly and unseat the riser boards from

the PCI riser board connectors.

28 HP ProLiant DL360 Generation 4p Server (SAS Model) User Guide

Installing PCI riser board assembly

CAUTION: To prevent damage to the server or expansion

boards, power down the server and remove all AC power cords before removing or installing the PCI riser board.

IMPORTANT: Be sure that all DIMM slot latches are closed to provide adequate clearance before installing the PCI riser board assembly with a half-length expansion board.

NOTE: If the expansion slot is populated with the standard PCI-X storage controller card, it should not be converted to PCI Express.

1. Align the PCI riser boards with the corresponding connectors on the system board and install it into place.

2. Tighten the four PCI riser board assembly thumbscrews.
