WARNING If you have any doubt that you can lift the system or monitor

safely, do not try to move them without help.

1. Check the materials list shipped with your system to verify that you
have all of the components necessary for setting up your system.

2. If the system is to be used as a desk-side workstation, place the
system in an area with easily accessible power outlets and enough
space for the keyboard, mouse, and any other accessories.

3. If the system is to be used as a rack-mounted server, please refer to
the rack mounting instructions provided with your rack mount
system.

4. Position the system so that its rear connectors are easily accessible.

Installation Tools

No tools are required to set up your system. However, if you plan to
install or replace an accessory inside your system, you will need a T-10
and T-15 Torx screwdriver or a flat-blade screwdriver. Make sure you use
the Electrostatic Discharge equipment (static-free mat, static strap,
anti-static bags, etc.) to prevent damage to the system.

WARNING Metallic particulates can be especially harmful around

electronic equipment. This type of contamination may enter the
data center environment from a variety of sources, including,
but not limited to, raised floor tiles, worn air conditioning parts,
heating ducts, rotor brushes in vacuum cleaners or printer
component wear. Because metallic particulates conduct
electricity, they have an increased potential for creating short
circuits in electronic equipment. This problem is exaggerated by
the increasingly dense circuitry of electronic equipment.

Over time, very fine whiskers of pure metal can form on
electroplated zinc, cadmium, or tin surfaces. If these whiskers
are disturbed, they may break off and become airborne, possibly
causing failures or operational interruptions. For over 50 years,
the electronics industry has been aware of the relatively rare,
but possible, threat posed by metallic particulate contamination.
During recent years, a growing concern has developed in
computer rooms where these conductive contaminants are
formed on the bottom of some raised floor tiles.

Although this problem is relatively rare, it may be an issue
within your computer room. Since metallic contamination can
cause permanent or intermittent failures on your electronic
equipment, Hewlett-Packard strongly recommends that your site
be evaluated for metallic particulate contamination before
installation of electronic equipment.

Audio Accessory Note

The small steel clip attached to your headset connector (see below)
reduces radio frequency interference and allows your system to meet
international regulatory requirements.

If you connect any other audio accessories to the system, attach one of
these clips to each additional connector as shown.

NOTE Surround sound is not supported on the zx6000 or rx2600 systems.

Keyboard and Mouse

The HP A7861A keyboard and mouse provide the basic input accessories
necessary to get you started with your workstation. The PC-104/105,

-106 key or JIS-109 keyboard is available in 13 different localized
layouts, and fully conforms to industry standards.

The A7861A kit provides a choice of 3-button scroll-wheel mouse
(standard) or 3-button plain mouse (specify product Option 065). Both
the keyboard and the mouse have an extended-length 2.9m (9.5 foot)
cable, which allows more flexible positioning of the system than is
possible with the 1.8m cable on typical PCs. The keyboard and mouse are
connected to the USB connectors on the rear panel of the computer.

Connecting the Power Cord

You will notice that there are two power cord receptacles on the rear
panel of the system. These are redundant receptacles to be used in those
cases where a redundant power supply is required. One of the
receptacles (PWR2) may be covered by a plastic cap (unless you ordered
the second power supply as an option). Plug the power cord into the open
receptacle (PWR1). If you are using redundant power supplies, you may
use both receptacles to achieve redundancy. See the zx6000/rx2600
Operation & Maintenance Guide for complete details.

System Configuration

System Configuration

There are three tools available to assist you in setting up your system
configuration - the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI), Management
Processor (MP) and Baseboard Management Controller (BMC). This
section gives you a brief introduction to these tools. For complete
information, refer to the System Configuration chapter in the
zx6000/rx2600 Operation & Maintenance Guide found at
http://www.hp.com/go/bizsupport web page.

Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI)

The file system supported by the Extensible Firmware Interface is based
on the File Allocation Table (FAT) file system. EFI encompasses the use
of FAT-32 for a system partition. The system partition is required on a
bootable disk for the IA-64 platform.

The system partition can contain directories, data files, and EFI images.
The EFI system firmware may search the \EFI directory of the EFI
system partition, EFI volume, to find possible EFI images that can be
loaded. The HP-UX bootloader is one example of an EFI image.

Complete information on the commands used by the EFI shell are
provided in the zx6000/rx2600 Operation & Maintenance Guide found at
http://www.hp.com/go/bizsupport web page. You can obtain a detailed
description of the commands online by typing help and the command
name at the EFI shell prompt. For example:

shell> help date

Management Processor (MP)

First, make sure that you have the Management Card installed in your
system. To determine if the card is installed, look at the back panel of
your system. Youwill see a 25-pin Serial Port if the Management Card is
installed. See Figure 1-1 on page 21. Complete information on the
Management Processor is found in the System Configuration section of
the zx6000/rx2600 Operation & Maintenance Guide at

and Transfer of Control (TOC).

Baseboard Management Controller (BMC)

The Baseboard Management Controller supports the industry-standard
Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) specification. This
specification describes the management features that have been built
into the system board. These features include: diagnostics, both local and
remote, console support, configuration management, hardware
management and troubleshooting.

Preparing Your Work Environment

When using HP computing equipment, it is important that your work
environment contributes to your comfort and productivity:

• Work Surface Height. Your work surface should be height adjustable.
Toensure that your work surface is at the correct height, first adjust
the height of your chair so that your feet are firmly on the floor or on
an angled foot rest, then adjust the work surface height until your
forearms are parallel to the floor when you have your fingers on the
keyboard or other input devices.

• Chair. Your chair should provide a comfortable sitting position
including features such as a height and tilt adjustment feature,
curved seat edge, a stable base (for example, five legs and castors,
adjustable back support, a freely rotating swivel, fully adjustable
padded arm rests).

• Monitor. Place your monitor so that the top of the screen is at, or
slightly below, eye level (up to 15 degrees).

• Work Surface Arrangement. Make sure that all elements of your HP
system for example, monitor, document holder, keyboard, mice and
other input devices, and headphones and speakers- are optimally
arranged and adjusted to meet your personal requirements. For

Chapter 1 33

Setting Up and Using Your System

Working in Comfort and Safety

example, if you are primarily using the keyboard, place it directly in
front of you, not to the side. If your work involves extensive use of a
mouse or other pointing device, place that device directly in front of
your left or right arm. If you are using both a mouse and keyboard,
place them both at the same work surface height and close together.
If a palm rest is used, the height should be flush with the front edge
of the keyboard. Other items, such as your telephone or notepad,
should also be considered.

CAUTION Various aspects of using mice, keyboards and other input devices may

increase your risk of discomfort or injury. Optimize your comfort and
safety by positioning these devices properly.

Your Work Posture

Sitting in one position for long periods can be uncomfortable. To
minimize the potential risk for physical discomfort or injury, it’s
important that you maintain a proper posture.

• Head. When viewing your monitor, your head should not be tilted
more than 15 degrees forward, and do not turn your head toward
either side.

• Back. While sitting at your work surface, make sure your back is
supported by the chair's backrest in an erect position or angled
slightly backwards.

• Arms. Make sure your arms and elbows are relaxed and loose, with
your upper arms perpendicular to the floor or tilted downward not
more than 15 degrees. Keep your forearms and hands approximately
parallel with the floor with elbows bent between 70 and 115 degrees.
Keep your elbows close to your sides (less than 20 degrees away from
your body).

• Hands, Wrists, Forearms. Try to keep your hands wrists and
forearms in a relaxed neutral position when using your mouse
keyboard or other input devices. For example, while using your
keyboard and mouse, rest your forearms (flat) on your desktop.

• Legs. Your thighs should be horizontal or angled slightly downward.
Your lower legs should be near a right angle to your thighs. Make
sure there is sufficient room under the work surface for your legs.

Chapter 134

Setting Up and Using Your System

Working in Comfort and Safety

• Feet. If after adjusting your chair you cannot rest your feet
comfortably on the floor, use a footrest, preferably one that can be
adjusted in height and angle.

Additional Ergonomic Issues

• Look away from the screen from time-to-time to help reduce
eyestrain. Focus on distant objects briefly, and blink periodically to
lubricate your eyes. You also should have your eyes checked on a
regular basis and ensure your eyeglass prescription is suitable for
working on a computer monitor.

• Remember to occasionally shift position and move your body.
Keeping your body in one position for long periods is unnatural and
stressful. When prolonged work is required, take frequent short
breaks. As a rule of thumb, a five or ten minute break every hour is a
good idea. Short frequent breaks are more beneficial than longer less
frequent breaks. Data show that people who work for long periods of
time without a break may be more prone to ergonomic injury.

• Changing tasks frequently will help prevent muscle stiffness.
Examples: alternating between keyboarding, reading, writing, filing,
and moving around in your work environment, helps you maintain a
relaxed posture. Occasionally stretch the muscles in your hands,
arms, shoulders, neck and back. You should stretch at least as often
as you take brief task breaks — at least once every hour.

• Discomfort may be alleviated by using alternative ergonomic designs
and accessories such as ergonomically personalized chairs, palm
rests, keyboard trays, alternative input devices, prescription
eyeglasses,anti-glare screens, and more. Seek additionalinformation
from the sources available to you, including your employer, doctor,
local office supply store, and the Information Sources listed in the
online version of Working in Comfort, pre-loaded on the hard disk of
your HP computing equipment or available on the HP web site:

Troubleshooting Your System

Using the LEDs and e-buzzer to Troubleshoot Your System

Using the LEDs and e-buzzer to Troubleshoot
Your System

There is a set of four LEDs located on the desk-side and rack-mount
system’s front panel that are used for diagnosing the health of the
system. These LEDs warn of any impending failures and allow you to
take preventive action. For example, you may want to make a system
backup or replace a system component before it quits functioning. The
other four LEDs are the Power, System, LAN, and Locator LEDs. This
section explains how the system’s LEDs can be used for troubleshooting
system problems and how to locate the system you want to work on
within a rack of systems.

Troubleshooting Your System

Using the LEDs and e-buzzer to Troubleshoot Your System

LAN LED

The LAN LED provides an indication as to whether the system is
communicating over the LAN. If the LED is not green, the system is off,
and therefore, the system is not communicating over the LAN. If the
LAN LED is solid green, there is no system LAN communication taking
place, but the system is ready to communicate over the LAN. If the LAN
LED is blinking green, the system is communicating over the LAN.

Locator LED and Button (Rack-mounted Systems only)

The locator LED provides a means for locating the system on which you
intend to work. For example, you find out that system number 5 in your
rack of systems has a LAN cable that needs to be replaced. This will
require that you walk all the way around to the back of your rack of
systems to replace the cable. Once you get behind the rack of systems,
you need to locate the system that needs the cable replaced. The locator
LED makes this easier. When the locator button is pressed in, the locator
LED begins to flash blue at a frequency of one blink per second both on
the front of the system and the back, thus making it easy to locate the
system on which you need to work.

The locator LED can also be activated or deactivated by use of thelocator
button on the back panel of the system or by use of a Management
Processor (MP) command.

Diagnostic LEDs

There are four diagnostic LEDs located on the front bezel of your system.
They are labeled one through four

NOTE The zx6000 HP Workstation boot progress is indicated by LEDs 1-4.

During the boot-up the LEDs will turn on in sequence until the EFI
prompt is reached. These LEDs will be off if there is a Management
processor in the workstation.

WARNING The rx2600 HP Server boot process will be monitored by the

Management Processor Card and not by the LEDs. Refer to the
Management Card section for more details.

Chapter 250

Troubleshooting Your System

Using the LEDs and e-buzzer to Troubleshoot Your System

The Troubleshooting section of the zx6000/rx2600 Operation &
Maintenance Guide found at http://www.hp.com/go/bizsupport provides a
table with a list of faults associated with the various possible LED
lighting sequences.

Troubleshooting with the e-buzzer

When your system starts up, the system firmware performs pre-boot
diagnostics to test your hardware configuration for any problems. If a
problem is detected during pre-boot, the pre-boot diagnostics will emit an
audio signal through the workstation’s internal speaker.

The pre-boot diagnostics emits an audio sequence with two kinds of
sounds. The first is an unusual series of tones that indicate an anomaly
has been detected. This series of sounds also contains an electronic
signal that can be sent through a telephone line to an authorized Help
Desk or HP Support, if necessary. This signal cannot be interpreted by
the human ear. However, it can be decoded by Help Desk equipment to
extract the workstation model, serial number and details about any
faults. To send this signal to HP Support, you need to hold your
telephone next to the e-buzzer Icon on the system’s front panel. See
