For more information, see the HPE Smart Storage Administrator User Guide on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/info/smartstorage/docs).

HPE SmartCache

SmartCache is an advanced feature that enables solid state drives to be used as caching devices (for reads and writes) for bulk storage. Data can be accessed and written to and from the solid state drive instead of bulk storage. SmartCache provides the following features:

• Accelerates application performance

• Provides lower latency for transactions in applications

• Supports all operating systems, without the need for changes

Use the HPE SSA utility to configure support for SmartCache.

This feature requires a license key.

For more information, see the HPE Smart Storage Administrator User Guide on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/info/smartstorage/docs).

HPE SSD Smart Path

SSD Smart Path enables an optimized data path to high performance solid state drives. The optimized path bypasses the controller’s RAID processing components and sends I/O directly to the drives. For more information, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/info/smartstorage/docs).

For more information on enabling or disabling SSD Smart Path, see the HPE Smart Storage Administrator User Guide on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/info/smartstorage/docs).

HPE Secure Encryption

HPE Secure Encryption is a controller-based, enterprise-class data encryption solution that protects data at rest on any bulk storage HDDs and SSDs attached to an HPE Smart Array P830 Controller. The solution is compatible with Hewlett Packard Enterprise key manager products and can operate with or without the presence of a key manager in the environment, depending on individual customer settings.

Secure Encryption provides encryption for data at rest as an important component for complying with data privacy requirements found in government regulations like HIPAA and Sarbanes-Oxley. Secure Encryption secures any data deemed sensitive and requiring extra levels of protection through the application of XTS-AES 256-bit data encryption. Many companies under government regulations require that sensitive privacy data must be secured and uncompromised using NIST-approved algorithms and methodologies for key management. As a result, Hewlett Packard Enterprise has applied for FIPS-140-2 Level 2 validation for Smart Array P430 Controller. For more information, see the Implementation Guidance for FIPS PUB 140-2 and the Cryptographic Module Validation Program on the National Institute

Configuration tools

HPE Smart Storage Administrator

HPE SSA is the main tool for configuring arrays on Smart Array controllers. It exists in three interface formats: the HPE SSA GUI, the HPE SSA CLI, and HPE SSA Scripting. All formats provide support for configuration tasks. Some of the advanced tasks are available in only one format.

The diagnostic features in HPE SSA are also available in the standalone software HPE Smart Storage Administrator Diagnostics Utility CLI.

Starting with HPE SSA and HPE ProLiant Gen8 servers and server blades, HPE SSA is accessible both offline and online:

• Accessing HPE SSA in the offline environment

IMPORTANT: If you are updating an existing server in an offline environment, obtain the latest version of HPE SSA through Service Pack for ProLiant before performing configuration procedures.

Using one of multiple methods, you can run HPE SSA before launching the host operating system. In offline mode, users can configure or maintain detected and supported ProLiant devices, such as optional Smart Array controllers and integrated Smart Array controllers. Some HPE SSA features are only available in the offline environment, such as setting the boot controller and boot volume.

For more information, see "Accessing HPE SSA in the offline environment" in the HPE Smart Storage Administrator User Guide.

Installation and configuration 15

Page 16

• Accessing HPE SSA in the online environment

This method requires an administrator to download the HPE SSA executables and install them. You can run HPE SSA online after launching the host operating system.

For more information, see "Accessing HPE SSA in the online environment" in the HPE Smart Storage Administrator User Guide.

Configuration utilities

Depending on the server, the following configuration utilities are available:

• RBSU ("Configuration utilities" on page 16)

• UEFI System Utilities (on page 16)

At this time, most servers support RBSU only.

ROM-Based Setup Utility

RBSU is a ROM-based configuration utility that allows you to modify server configuration settings. RBSU is machine-specific and customized for each type of server. RBSU facilitates a wide range of configuration functions, including displaying system information, selecting the operating system, and configuring system devices and options.

If RBSU is supported by the server, access the utility by pressing the F9 key when prompted during the boot process. Refer to the ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide or to the server documentation.

UEFI System Utilities

At this time, the HPE ProLiant DL580 Gen8 Server is the only ProLiant Gen8 server that supports UEFI.

For servers that support UEFI, the HPE UEFI System Utilities is embedded in the system ROM. The UEFI System Utilities enable you to perform a wide range of configuration activities, including:

• Configuring system devices and installed options

• Enabling and disabling system features

• Displaying system information

• Selecting the primary boot controller

• Configuring memory options

• Selecting a language

• Launching other pre-boot environments such as the Embedded UEFI Shell and Intelligent

Provisioning

For more information on HPE UEFI, see the HPE UEFI System Utilities User Guide on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/info/uefi/docs).

Configuration procedures

Legacy mode boot options

Setting a controller as the boot controller

For servers running in legacy (non-UEFI) mode, use the following procedure to set a controller as the boot controller using HPE SSA. To adjust the boot order settings for other controllers in the system, see "Setting the controller order (on page 17)."

Installation and configuration 16

Page 17

Confirm that the controller is connected to a logical drive. (If it is not, it cannot be set as the boot controller.)

2. Perform a normal system shutdown.

3. Restart the server.

POST runs, and the system recognizes devices. When the system recognizes the controller you want to set as the boot controller, continue with the next step.

4. Press the F5 key.

After POST completes, the system launches the HPE SSA GUI, or if you are using Serial Console, the system launches the HPE SSA CLI.

5. Select the appropriate menu option, and follow any subsequent on-screen instructions. If prompted

to save the settings, do so.

6. (Optional) To configure or reconfigure an array on this controller, you can use HPE SSA. For more

information, see the HPE Smart Storage Administrator User Guide.

To configure an array at a later time or to use a different utility to configure the array, exit HPE SSA, and then restart the server for the new boot controller setting to take effect.

Setting the controller order

For servers running in legacy (non-UEFI) mode, use the following procedure to set the controller order using RBSU.

1. Power up the server.

The server runs the POST sequence and briefly displays an RBSU prompt.

2. At the prompt, press the F9 key. After POST completes, RBSU starts.

3. Follow the on-screen instructions to set the boot order for the different controllers in the system.

4. Save the settings.

5. Exit from the utility.

For more information about using RBSU, see the ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide or the server user guide. These documents are both available on the Documentation CD supplied in the server kit.

UEFI Boot Mode boot options

On servers operating in UEFI Boot Mode, the boot controller and boot order are set automatically.

1. Press the Power On/Standby button.

2. During the initial boot:

o To modify the server configuration ROM default settings, press the F9 key in the ProLiant POST

screen to enter the UEFI System Utilities screen. By default, the System Utilities menus are in the English language.

o If you do not need to modify the server configuration and are ready to install the system software,

press the F10 key to access Intelligent Provisioning.

For more information on automatic configuration, see the UEFI documentation on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/info/enterprise/docs).

Configuring an array

To configure an array on an Smart Array controller, use HPE SSA. For more information, see the HPE Smart Storage Administrator User Guide.

Remember the following factors when you build an array:

• All drives grouped in a logical drive must be of the same type (for example, either all SAS or all SATA

and either all hard drives or all solid state drives).

Installation and configuration 17

Page 18

• For the most efficient use of drive space, all drives within an array should have approximately the

same capacity. Each configuration utility treats every physical drive in an array as if it has the same capacity as the smallest drive in the array. Any excess capacity of a particular drive cannot be used in the array and so is unavailable for data storage.

• The more physical drives that there are in an array, the greater the probability that the array will

experience a drive failure during any given period.

• To guard against the data loss that occurs when a drive fails, configure all logical drives in an array

with a suitable fault-tolerance (RAID) method.

System maintenance tools

Updating firmware

Server and controller firmware should be updated before using the controller for the first time, unless any installed software or components require an older version. For system software and firmware updates, download the SPP from the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/info/spp/docs).

Installing device drivers

IMPORTANT: Always perform a backup before installing or updating device drivers.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise now distributes drivers and other support software for servers and server blades through Service Pack for ProLiant, or SPP, which you can download from the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/servers/spp/download). Be sure to use the latest SPP version for the server or server blade.

If you installed an OS by using the Intelligent Provisioning software, its Configure and Install feature may have provided the latest driver support.

To directly locate the OS drivers for a particular server, enter the following web address into the browser:

http://www.hpe.com/support/<servername>

In place of <servername>, enter the server name.

For example:

http://www.hpe.com/support/dl360gen8

Managing servers with Insight Agents

When using Insight Agents to manage ProLiant Gen8 servers and later, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that you clear the selection for Agentless Management Service, and then select Insight Agents for installation to take place.

You can update the Management Agents by using the latest versions of the agents provided in the Intelligent Provisioning software.

Diagnostic tools

To troubleshoot array problems and generate feedback about arrays, use the following diagnostic tools:

• HPE SSA

Installation and configuration 18

Page 19

HPE SSA can be accessed offline with Intelligent Provisioning, during POST, or from an ISO image. It can also be accessed online by downloading the HPE SSA executables. For more information on accessing and using HPE SSA, see the HPE Smart Storage Administrator User Guide.

• Event Notification Service

This utility reports array events to the server IML and the Microsoft Windows system event log, and records the Smart Array serial log, which includes detailed diagnostic information of the most recent events encountered by the controller. You can obtain the utility from the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/support/hpesc). When prompted for product information, enter the server model name.

• Insight Diagnostics

Insight Diagnostics is a tool that displays information about the system hardware configuration and performs tests on the system and its components, including drives if they are connected to Smart Array controllers. This utility is available on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/servers/diags).

• POST messages

Smart Array controllers produce diagnostic error messages (POST messages) at reboot. Many POST messages suggest corrective actions. For more information about POST messages, see The ProLiant Gen9 Troubleshooting Guide, Volume II: Error Messages:

Identifying the status of an HPE SmartDrive

HPE SmartDrives are the latest Hewlett Packard Enterprise drive technology, and they are supported beginning with ProLiant Gen8 servers and server blades. The SmartDrive is not supported on earlier generation servers and server blades. Identify a SmartDrive by its carrier, shown in the following illustration.

When a drive is configured as a part of an array and connected to a powered-up controller, the drive LEDs indicate the condition of the drive.

The blue Locate LED is behind the release lever and is visible when illuminated.

Recognizing drive failure

If any of the following occurs, the drive has failed:

• The drive status LED illuminates amber.

Drive procedures 20

Page 21

• When failed drives are located inside the server or storage system and the drive LEDs are not

visible, the Health LED on the front of the server or server blade illuminates. This LED also illuminates when other problems occur such as when a fan fails, a redundant power supply fails, or the system overheats.

• A POST message lists failed drives when the system is restarted, as long as the controller detects at

least one functional drive.

• HPE SSA lists all failed drives, and represents failed drives with a distinctive icon.

• Systems Insight Manager can detect failed drives remotely across a network. For more information

about Systems Insight Manager, see the documentation on the Insight Management DVD or on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/info/insightmgmt).

• The System Management Homepage (SMH) indicates that a drive has failed.

• On servers with Windows operating systems, the Event Notification Service posts an event to the

server IML and the Microsoft Windows system event log.

• On servers with Linux operating systems, Linux agents log the event, create an IML entry, and

update /var/log/messages.

For more information about diagnosing drive problems, see ProLiant Gen8 Troubleshooting Guide, Volume I: Troubleshooting.

CAUTION: Sometimes, a drive that has previously been failed by the controller may seem to be operational after the system is power-cycled or (for a hot-pluggable drive) after the drive has been removed and reinserted. However, continued use of such marginal drives may eventually result in data loss. Replace the marginal drive as soon as possible.

Effects of a hard drive failure on logical drives

When a drive fails, all logical drives that are in the same array are affected. Each logical drive in an array might be using a different fault-tolerance method, so each logical drive can be affected differently.

• RAID 0 configurations do not tolerate drive failure. If any physical drive in the array fails, all RAID 0

logical drives in the same array also fail.

• RAID 10 configurations tolerate multiple drive failures if no failed drives are mirrored to one another.

• RAID 5 configurations tolerate one drive failure.

• RAID 50 configurations tolerate one failed drive in each parity group.

• RAID 6 configurations tolerate two failed drives at a given time.

• RAID 60 configurations tolerate two failed drives in each parity group.

• RAID 1 (ADM) and RAID 10 (ADM) configurations tolerate multiple drive failures if no more than two

Compromised fault tolerance

drives, mirrored to one another, fail.

CAUTION: When fault tolerance is compromised, data loss can occur. However, it may be possible to recover the data. For more information, see "Recovering from compromised fault tolerance (on page 22)."

If more drives fail than the fault-tolerance method can manage, fault tolerance is compromised, and the logical drive fails. If this failure occurs, the operating system rejects all requests and indicates unrecoverable errors.

For example, fault tolerance might occur when a drive in an array fails while another drive in the array is being rebuilt.

Drive procedures 21

Page 22

Compromised fault tolerance can also be caused by problems unrelated to drives. In such cases, replacing the physical drives is not required.

Recovering from compromised fault tolerance

If fault tolerance is compromised, inserting replacement drives does not improve the condition of the logical volume. Instead, if the screen displays unrecoverable error messages, perform the following procedure to recover data:

1. Power down the entire system, and then power it back up. In some cases, a marginal drive will work

again for long enough to enable you to make copies of important files. If a 1779 POST message is displayed, press the F2 key to re-enable the logical volumes. Remember

that data loss has probably occurred and any data on the logical volume is suspect.

2. Make copies of important data, if possible.

3. Replace any failed drives.

4. After you have replaced the failed drives, fault tolerance may again be compromised. If so, cycle the

power again. If the 1779 POST message is displayed:

a. Press the F2 key to re-enable the logical drives. b. Recreate the partitions. c. Restore all data from backup.

To minimize the risk of data loss that is caused by compromised fault tolerance, make frequent backups of all logical volumes.

Replacing drives

The most common reason for replacing a drive is that it has failed. However, another reason is to gradually increase the storage capacity of the entire system.

For systems that support hot-pluggable drives, if you replace a failed drive that belongs to a fault-tolerant configuration while the system power is on, all drive activity in the array pauses for 1 or 2 seconds while the new drive is initializing. When the drive is ready, data recovery to the replacement drive begins automatically.

If you replace a drive belonging to a fault-tolerant configuration while the system power is off, a POST message appears when the system is next powered up. This message prompts you to press the F1 key to start automatic data recovery. If you do not enable automatic data recovery, the logical volume remains in

Before replacing drives

a ready-to-recover condition and the same POST message appears whenever the system is restarted.

• Open Systems Insight Manager, and inspect the Error Counter window for each physical drive in the

same array to confirm that no other drives have any errors. For more information about Systems Insight Manager, see the documentation on the Insight Management DVD or on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/info/insightmgmt).

• Be sure that the array has a current, valid backup.

• Confirm that the replacement drive is of the same type as the degraded drive (either SAS or SATA

and either hard drive or solid state drive).

• Use replacement drives that have a capacity equal to or larger than the capacity of the smallest drive

in the array. The controller immediately fails drives that have insufficient capacity.

In systems that use external data storage, be sure that the server is the first unit to be powered down and the last unit to be powered up. Taking this precaution ensures that the system does not, erroneously, mark the drives as failed when the server is powered up.

Drive procedures 22

Page 23

In some situations, you can replace more than one drive at a time without data loss. For example:

• In RAID 10 configurations, drives are mirrored in pairs. You can replace several drives

simultaneously if they are not mirrored to other removed or failed drives.

• In RAID 50 configurations, drives are arranged in parity groups. You can replace several drives

simultaneously, if the drives belong to different parity groups. If two drives belong to the same parity group, replace those drives one at a time.

• In RAID 6 configurations, you can replace any two drives simultaneously.

• In RAID 60 configurations, drives are arranged in parity groups. You can replace several drives

simultaneously, if no more than two of the drives being replaced belong to the same parity group.

To remove more drives from an array than the fault tolerance method can support, follow the previous guidelines for removing several drives simultaneously, and then wait until rebuild is complete (as indicated by the drive LEDs) before removing additional drives.

However, if fault tolerance has been compromised, and you must replace more drives than the fault tolerance method can support, delay drive replacement until after you attempt to recover the data (refer to "Recovering from compromised fault tolerance" on page 22).

Automatic data recovery (rebuild)

When you replace a drive in an array, the controller uses the fault-tolerance information on the remaining drives in the array to reconstruct the missing data (the data that was originally on the replaced drive) and then write the data to the replacement drive. This process is called automatic data recovery or rebuild. If fault tolerance is compromised, the controller cannot reconstruct the data, and the data is likely lost permanently.

If another drive in the array fails while fault tolerance is unavailable during rebuild, a fatal system error can occur, and all data on the array can be lost. However, failure of another drive does not always lead to a fatal system error in the following exceptional cases:

• Failure after activation of a spare drive

• Failure of a drive that is not mirrored to any other failed drives (in a RAID 10 configuration)

• Failure of a second drive in a RAID 50 or RAID 60 configuration if the two failed drives are in different

parity groups

• Failure of a second drive in a RAID 6 configuration

Time required for a rebuild

The time required for a rebuild varies, depending on several factors:

• The priority that the rebuild is given over normal I/O operations (you can change the priority setting

by using HPE SSA)

• The amount of I/O activity during the rebuild operation

• The average bandwidth capability (MBps) of the drives

• The availability of drive cache

• The brand, model, and age of the drives

• The amount of unused capacity on the drives

• For RAID 5, RAID 50, RAID 6, and RAID 60, the number of drives in the array

• The strip size of the logical volume

The drive with the illuminated amber LED

could be unprotected against drive failure for an extended period during data recovery or a drive capacity upgrade. When possible, perform rebuild operations only during periods of minimal system activity.

When automatic data recovery has finished, the drive status LED changes from flashing green to solid green.

If the drive status LED on the replacement drive changes to flashing or solid amber, the rebuild process has terminated abnormally.

If an abnormal termination of a rebuild occurs, identify the cause and appropriate corrective steps in "Abnormal termination of a rebuild (on page 24)."

Abnormal termination of a rebuild

If the activity LED on the replacement drive permanently ceases to be illuminated even while other drives in the array are active, the rebuild process has terminated abnormally. The following table indicates the three possible causes of abnormal termination of a rebuild.

has now failed.

Each of these situations requires a different remedial action.

Case 1: An uncorrectable read error has occurred.

1. Back up as much data as possible from the logical drive.

CAUTION: Do not remove the drive that has the media error. Doing so causes the logical

drive to fail.

2. Restore data from backup. Writing data to the location of the unreadable sector often eliminates the

error.

3. Remove and reinsert the replacement drive. This action restarts the rebuild process.

If the rebuild process still terminates abnormally:

1. Delete and recreate the logical drive.

2. Restore data from backup.

Case 2: The replacement drive has failed.

Verify that the replacement drive is of the correct capacity and is a supported model. If these factors are not the cause of the problem, use a different drive as the replacement.

Case 3: Another drive in the array has failed.

A drive that has recently failed can sometimes be made temporarily operational again by cycling the server power.

1. Power down the server.

2. Remove the replacement physical drive (the one undergoing a rebuild), and reinstall the drive that it

is replacing.

3. Power up the server.

If the newly failed drive seems to be operational again:

Drive procedures 24

Page 25

Back up any unsaved data.

2. Remove the drive that was originally to be replaced, and reinsert the replacement physical drive. The

rebuild process automatically restarts.

3. When the rebuild process has finished, replace the newly failed drive.

However, if the newly failed drive has not recovered:

1. Remove the drive that was originally to be replaced, and reinsert the replacement physical drive.

2. Replace the newly failed drive.

3. Restore data from backup.

Upgrading drive capacity

You can increase the storage capacity on a system, even if there are no available drive bays, by swapping drives one at a time for higher capacity drives. This method is viable as long as a fault-tolerance method is running.

CAUTION: Because data rebuild time operates at the rate of 200GB/15 minutes, the system could be unprotected against drive failure for an extended period during data recovery or a drive capacity upgrade. When possible, perform rebuild operations only during periods of

1. Back up all data.

remaining drives.

CAUTION: Do not replace any other drive until data rebuild on this drive is complete.

When data rebuild on the new drive is complete, the Drive status LED changes from flashing green to solid green.

3. Repeat the previous step for the other drives in the array, one at a time.

When you have replaced all drives, you can use the extra capacity to either create new logical drives or extend existing logical drives. For more information, see the HPE Smart Storage Administrator User Guide on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/info/smartstorage/docs).

Moving drives and arrays

You can move drives to other ID positions on the same array controller. You can also move a complete array from one controller to another, even if the controllers are on different servers.

Before moving drives, you must meet the following conditions:

• If moving the drives to a different server, be sure the new server has enough empty bays to

accommodate all the drives simultaneously.

• The array does not have failed or missing drives.

• No spare drive in the array is acting as a replacement for a failed drive.

• The controller is not performing capacity expansion, capacity extension, or RAID or strip size

migration.

• The controller is using the latest firmware version.

• The server is powered down.

Before you move an array to another controller, you must meet the following conditions:

Drive procedures 25

Page 26

CAUTION: If the number of physical or logical drives exceeds the limit for the controller model and firmware version, then the controller may recognize an unpredictable subset of the drives, possibly resulting in failed arrays and data loss.

• If the other controller is connected already to one or more arrays of configured logical drives, the total

number of logical drives on the controller after the drives have been moved must not exceed the number of logical drives that the controller supports. This number depends on the controller model and on the controller firmware version.

• The total number of physical drives on the other controller after the drives have been moved must not

exceed the maximum number of supported physical drives for that controller model and firmware version.

• All drives in the array must be moved at the same time.

When all the conditions have been met, move the drives:

1. Back up all data before removing any drives or changing configuration. This step is required if you

are moving data-containing drives from a controller that does not have a cache module.

2. Power down the system.

3. Move the drives.

4. Power up the system.

5. Observe the POST messages:

o If a 1785 POST message appears, the drive array did not configure properly. Continue with step

o If a 1724 or 1727 POST message appears, drive positions were changed successfully and the

configuration was updated. Continue with step 7.

6. If the array did not configure properly, do the following: a. Power down the system immediately to prevent data loss. b. Return the drives to their original locations. c. Restore the data from backup, if necessary.

7. Verify the new drive configuration by running HPE SSA ("Configuring an array" on page 17).

Adding drives

You can add drives to a system at any time, if you do not exceed the maximum number of drives that the controller supports. You can then either build a new array from the added drives or use the extra storage capacity to expand the capacity of an existing array.

If the drives that you intend to add to the system are already configured into logical drives, you must meet certain conditions before adding drives to the system. For more information, see "Moving drives and arrays (on page 25)." When you have successfully added the drives, reset the server so that the controller can recognize the logical drives.

To perform an array capacity expansion, use HPE SSA. If the system uses hot-pluggable drives and HPE SSA runs in the same environment as the normal server applications, you can expand array capacity without shutting down the operating system. For more information, see the HPE Smart Storage Administrator User Guide on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/info/smartstorage/docs).

The expansion process is illustrated in the following figure, in which the original array (containing data) is shown with a dashed border, and the newly added drives (containing no data) are shown unshaded. The array controller adds the new drives to the array and redistributes the original logical drives over the enlarged array one logical drive at a time. This process liberates some storage capacity on each physical

Drive procedures 26

Page 27

drive in the array. Each logical drive keeps the same fault-tolerance method in the enlarged array that it had in the smaller array.

When the expansion process has finished, you can use the liberated storage capacity on the enlarged array to create new logical drives. Alternatively, you can use HPE SSA to enlarge (extend) one of the original logical drives.

Customer Self Repair

Hewlett Packard Enterprise products are designed with many Customer Self Repair (CSR) parts to minimize repair time and allow for greater flexibility in performing defective parts replacement. If during the diagnosis period Hewlett Packard Enterprise (or Hewlett Packard Enterprise service providers or service partners) identifies that the repair can be accomplished by the use of a CSR part, Hewlett Packard Enterprise will ship that part directly to you for replacement. There are two categories of CSR parts:

• Mandatory—Parts for which customer self repair is mandatory. If you request Hewlett Packard

Enterprise to replace these parts, you will be charged for the travel and labor costs of this service.

• Optional—Parts for which customer self repair is optional. These parts are also designed for

customer self repair. If, however, you require that Hewlett Packard Enterprise replace them for you, there may or may not be additional charges, depending on the type of warranty service designated for your product.

NOTE: Some Hewlett Packard Enterprise parts are not designed for customer self repair. In order to satisfy the customer warranty, Hewlett Packard Enterprise requires that an authorized service provider replace the part. These parts are identified as "No" in the Illustrated Parts Catalog.

Based on availability and where geography permits, CSR parts will be shipped for next business day delivery. Same day or four-hour delivery may be offered at an additional charge where geography permits. If assistance is required, you can call the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support Center and a technician will help you over the telephone. Hewlett Packard Enterprise specifies in the materials shipped with a replacement CSR part whether a defective part must be returned to Hewlett Packard Enterprise. In cases where it is required to return the defective part to Hewlett Packard Enterprise, you must ship the defective part back to Hewlett Packard Enterprise within a defined period of time, normally five (5) business days. The defective part must be returned with the associated documentation in the provided shipping material. Failure to return the defective part may result in Hewlett Packard Enterprise billing you for the replacement. With a customer self repair, Hewlett Packard Enterprise will pay all shipping and part return costs and determine the courier/carrier to be used.

For more information about the Hewlett Packard Enterprise CSR program, contact your local service provider. For the North American program, go to the Hewlett Packard Enterprise CSR website (http://www.hpe.com/support/selfrepair).

Réparation par le client (CSR)

Les produits Hewlett Packard Enterprise comportent de nombreuses pièces CSR (Customer Self Repair = réparation par le client) afin de minimiser les délais de réparation et faciliter le remplacement des pièces défectueuses. Si pendant la période de diagnostic, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (ou ses partenaires ou mainteneurs agréés) détermine que la réparation peut être effectuée à l'aide d'une pièce CSR, Hewlett Packard Enterprise vous l'envoie directement. Il existe deux catégories de pièces CSR :

Support and other resources 32

Page 33

• Obligatoire—Pièces pour lesquelles la réparation par le client est obligatoire. Si vous demandez à

Hewlett Packard Enterprise de remplacer ces pièces, les coûts de déplacement et main d'œuvre du service vous seront facturés.

• Facultatif—Pièces pour lesquelles la réparation par le client est facultative. Ces pièces sont

également conçues pour permettre au client d'effectuer lui-même la réparation. Toutefois, si vous demandez à Hewlett Packard Enterprise de remplacer ces pièces, l'intervention peut ou non vous être facturée, selon le type de garantie applicable à votre produit.

REMARQUE: Certaines pièces Hewlett Packard Enterprise ne sont pas conçues pour permettre au client d'effectuer lui-même la réparation. Pour que la garantie puisse s'appliquer, Hewlett Packard Enterprise exige que le remplacement de la pièce soit effectué par un Mainteneur Agréé. Ces pièces sont identifiées par la mention "Non" dans le Catalogue illustré.

Les pièces CSR sont livrées le jour ouvré suivant, dans la limite des stocks disponibles et selon votre situation géographique. Si votre situation géographique le permet et que vous demandez une livraison le jour même ou dans les 4 heures, celle-ci vous sera facturée. Pour toute assistance, appelez le Centre d’assistance Hewlett Packard Enterprise pour qu’un technicien vous aide au téléphone. Dans les documents envoyés avec la pièce de rechange CSR, Hewlett Packard Enterprise précise s'il est nécessaire de lui retourner la pièce défectueuse. Si c'est le cas, vous devez le faire dans le délai indiqué, généralement cinq (5) jours ouvrés. La pièce et sa documentation doivent être retournées dans l'emballage fourni. Si vous ne retournez pas la pièce défectueuse, Hewlett Packard Enterprise se réserve le droit de vous facturer les coûts de remplacement. Dans le cas d'une pièce CSR, Hewlett Packard Enterprise supporte l'ensemble des frais d'expédition et de retour, et détermine la société de courses ou le transporteur à utiliser.

Pour plus d'informations sur le programme CSR de Hewlett Packard Enterprise, contactez votre Mainteneur Agrée local. Pour plus d'informations sur ce programme en Amérique du Nord, consultez le site Web Hewlett Packard Enterprise (http://www.hpe.com/support/selfrepair).

Riparazione da parte del cliente

Per abbreviare i tempi di riparazione e garantire una maggiore flessibilità nella sostituzione di parti difettose, i prodotti Hewlett Packard Enterprise sono realizzati con numerosi componenti che possono essere riparati direttamente dal cliente (CSR, Customer Self Repair). Se in fase di diagnostica Hewlett Packard Enterprise (o un centro di servizi o di assistenza Hewlett Packard Enterprise) identifica il guasto come riparabile mediante un ricambio CSR, Hewlett Packard Enterprise lo spedirà direttamente al cliente per la sostituzione. Vi sono due categorie di parti CSR:

• Obbligatorie—Parti che devono essere necessariamente riparate dal cliente. Se il cliente ne affida

la riparazione ad Hewlett Packard Enterprise, deve sostenere le spese di spedizione e di manodopera per il servizio.

• Opzionali—Parti la cui riparazione da parte del cliente è facoltativa. Si tratta comunque di

componenti progettati per questo scopo. Se tuttavia il cliente ne richiede la sostituzione ad Hewlett Packard Enterprise, potrebbe dover sostenere spese addizionali a seconda del tipo di garanzia previsto per il prodotto.

NOTA: alcuni componenti Hewlett Packard Enterprise non sono progettati per la riparazione da parte del cliente. Per rispettare la garanzia, Hewlett Packard Enterprise richiede che queste parti siano sostituite da un centro di assistenza autorizzato. Tali parti sono identificate da un "No" nel Catalogo illustrato dei componenti.

In base alla disponibilità e alla località geografica, le parti CSR vengono spedite con consegna entro il giorno lavorativo seguente. La consegna nel giorno stesso o entro quattro ore è offerta con un supplemento di costo solo in alcune zone. In caso di necessità si può richiedere l'assistenza telefonica di un addetto del centro di supporto tecnico Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Nel materiale fornito con una parte di ricambio CSR, Hewlett Packard Enterprise specifica se il cliente deve restituire dei component. Qualora sia richiesta la resa ad Hewlett Packard Enterprise del componente difettoso, lo si deve spedire ad Hewlett Packard Enterprise entro un determinato periodo di tempo, generalmente cinque (5) giorni lavorativi. Il componente difettoso deve essere restituito con la documentazione associata nell'imballo di

spedizione fornito. La mancata restituzione del componente può comportare la fatturazione del ricambio da parte di Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Nel caso di riparazione da parte del cliente, Hewlett Packard Enterprise sostiene tutte le spese di spedizione e resa e sceglie il corriere/vettore da utilizzare.

Customer Self Repair

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Produkte enthalten viele CSR-Teile (Customer Self Repair), um Reparaturzeiten zu minimieren und höhere Flexibilität beim Austausch defekter Bauteile zu ermöglichen. Wenn Hewlett Packard Enterprise (oder ein Hewlett Packard Enterprise Servicepartner) bei der Diagnose feststellt, dass das Produkt mithilfe eines CSR-Teils repariert werden kann, sendet Ihnen Hewlett Packard Enterprise dieses Bauteil zum Austausch direkt zu. CSR-Teile werden in zwei Kategorien unterteilt:

• Zwingend—Teile, für die das Customer Self Repair-Verfahren zwingend vorgegeben ist. Wenn Sie

den Austausch dieser Teile von Hewlett Packard Enterprise vornehmen lassen, werden Ihnen die Anfahrt- und Arbeitskosten für diesen Service berechnet.

• Optional—Teile, für die das Customer Self Repair-Verfahren optional ist. Diese Teile sind auch für

Customer Self Repair ausgelegt. Wenn Sie jedoch den Austausch dieser Teile von Hewlett Packard Enterprise vornehmen lassen möchten, können bei diesem Service je nach den für Ihr Produkt vorgesehenen Garantiebedingungen zusätzliche Kosten anfallen.

HINWEIS: Einige Hewlett Packard Enterprise Teile sind nicht für Customer Self Repair ausgelegt. Um den Garantieanspruch des Kunden zu erfüllen, muss das Teil von einem Hewlett Packard Enterprise Servicepartner ersetzt werden. Im illustrierten Teilekatalog sind diese Teile mit „No“ bzw. „Nein“ gekennzeichnet.

CSR-Teile werden abhängig von der Verfügbarkeit und vom Lieferziel am folgenden Geschäftstag geliefert. Für bestimmte Standorte ist eine Lieferung am selben Tag oder innerhalb von vier Stunden gegen einen Aufpreis verfügbar. Wenn Sie Hilfe benötigen, können Sie das Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support Center anrufen und sich von einem Mitarbeiter per Telefon helfen lassen. Den Materialien von Hewlett Packard Enterprise, die mit einem CSR-Ersatzteil geliefert werden, können Sie entnehmen, ob das defekte Teil an Hewlett Packard Enterprise zurückgeschickt werden muss. Wenn es erforderlich ist, das defekte Teil an Hewlett Packard Enterprise zurückzuschicken, müssen Sie dies innerhalb eines vorgegebenen Zeitraums tun, in der Regel innerhalb von fünf (5) Geschäftstagen. Das defekte Teil muss mit der zugehörigen Dokumentation in der Verpackung zurückgeschickt werden, die im Lieferumfang enthalten ist. Wenn Sie das defekte Teil nicht zurückschicken, kann Hewlett Packard Enterprise Ihnen das Ersatzteil in Rechnung stellen. Im Falle von Customer Self Repair kommt Hewlett Packard Enterprise für alle Kosten für die Lieferung und Rücksendung auf und bestimmt den Kurier-/Frachtdienst.

Weitere Informationen über das Hewlett Packard Enterprise Customer Self Repair Programm erhalten Sie von Ihrem Servicepartner vor Ort. Informationen über das CSR-Programm in Nordamerika finden Sie auf der Hewlett Packard Enterprise Website unter (http://www.hpe.com/support/selfrepair).

Reparaciones del propio cliente

Los productos de Hewlett Packard Enterprise incluyen muchos componentes que el propio usuario puede reemplazar (Customer Self Repair, CSR) para minimizar el tiempo de reparación y ofrecer una mayor flexibilidad a la hora de realizar sustituciones de componentes defectuosos. Si, durante la fase de diagnóstico, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (o los proveedores o socios de servicio de Hewlett Packard Enterprise) identifica que una reparación puede llevarse a cabo mediante el uso de un componente CSR, Hewlett Packard Enterprise le enviará dicho componente directamente para que realice su sustitución. Los componentes CSR se clasifican en dos categorías:

Support and other resources 34

Page 35

• Obligatorio—componentes cuya reparación por parte del usuario es obligatoria. Si solicita a

Hewlett Packard Enterprise que realice la sustitución de estos componentes, tendrá que hacerse cargo de los gastos de desplazamiento y de mano de obra de dicho servicio.

• Opcional—componentes cuya reparación por parte del usuario es opcional. Estos componentes

también están diseñados para que puedan ser reparados por el usuario. Sin embargo, si precisa que Hewlett Packard Enterprise realice su sustitución, puede o no conllevar costes adicionales, dependiendo del tipo de servicio de garantía correspondiente al producto.

NOTA: Algunos componentes de Hewlett Packard Enterprise no están diseñados para que puedan ser reparados por el usuario. Para que el usuario haga valer su garantía, Hewlett Packard Enterprise pone como condición que un proveedor de servicios autorizado realice la sustitución de estos componentes. Dichos componentes se identifican con la palabra "No" en el catálogo ilustrado de componentes.

Según la disponibilidad y la situación geográfica, los componentes CSR se enviarán para que lleguen a su destino al siguiente día laborable. Si la situación geográfica lo permite, se puede solicitar la entrega en el mismo día o en cuatro horas con un coste adicional. Si precisa asistencia técnica, puede llamar al Centro de asistencia técnica de Hewlett Packard Enterprise y recibirá ayuda telefónica por parte de un técnico. Con el envío de materiales para la sustitución de componentes CSR, Hewlett Packard Enterprise especificará si los componentes defectuosos deberán devolverse a Hewlett Packard Enterprise. En aquellos casos en los que sea necesario devolver algún componente a Hewlett Packard Enterprise, deberá hacerlo en el periodo de tiempo especificado, normalmente cinco días laborables. Los componentes defectuosos deberán devolverse con toda la documentación relacionada y con el embalaje de envío. Si no enviara el componente defectuoso requerido, Hewlett Packard Enterprise podrá cobrarle por el de sustitución. En el caso de todas sustituciones que lleve a cabo el cliente, Hewlett Packard Enterprise se hará cargo de todos los gastos de envío y devolución de componentes y escogerá la empresa de transporte que se utilice para dicho servicio.

Customer Self Repair

Veel onderdelen in Hewlett Packard Enterprise producten zijn door de klant zelf te repareren, waardoor de reparatieduur tot een minimum beperkt kan blijven en de flexibiliteit in het vervangen van defecte onderdelen groter is. Deze onderdelen worden CSR-onderdelen (Customer Self Repair) genoemd. Als Hewlett Packard Enterprise (of een Hewlett Packard Enterprise Service Partner) bij de diagnose vaststelt dat de reparatie kan worden uitgevoerd met een CSR-onderdeel, verzendt Hewlett Packard Enterprise dat onderdeel rechtstreeks naar u, zodat u het defecte onderdeel daarmee kunt vervangen. Er zijn twee categorieën CSR-onderdelen:

• Verplicht—Onderdelen waarvoor reparatie door de klant verplicht is. Als u Hewlett Packard

Enterprise verzoekt deze onderdelen voor u te vervangen, worden u voor deze service reiskosten en arbeidsloon in rekening gebracht.

• Optioneel—Onderdelen waarvoor reparatie door de klant optioneel is. Ook deze onderdelen zijn

ontworpen voor reparatie door de klant. Als u echter Hewlett Packard Enterprise verzoekt deze onderdelen voor u te vervangen, kunnen daarvoor extra kosten in rekening worden gebracht, afhankelijk van het type garantieservice voor het product.

OPMERKING: Sommige Hewlett Packard Enterprise onderdelen zijn niet ontwikkeld voor reparatie door de klant. In verband met de garantievoorwaarden moet het onderdeel door een geautoriseerde Service Partner worden vervangen. Deze onderdelen worden in de geïllustreerde onderdelencatalogus aangemerkt met "Nee".

Afhankelijk van de leverbaarheid en de locatie worden CSR-onderdelen verzonden voor levering op de eerstvolgende werkdag. Levering op dezelfde dag of binnen vier uur kan tegen meerkosten worden aangeboden, indien dit mogelijk is gezien de locatie. Indien assistentie is gewenst, belt u het Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support Center om via de telefoon ondersteuning van een technicus te ontvangen.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise vermeldt in de documentatie bij het vervangende CSR-onderdeel of het defecte onderdeel aan Hewlett Packard Enterprise moet worden geretourneerd. Als het defecte onderdeel aan Hewlett Packard Enterprise moet worden teruggezonden, moet u het defecte onderdeel binnen een bepaalde periode, gewoonlijk vijf (5) werkdagen, retourneren aan Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Het defecte onderdeel moet met de bijbehorende documentatie worden geretourneerd in het meegeleverde verpakkingsmateriaal. Als u het defecte onderdeel niet terugzendt, kan Hewlett Packard Enterprise u voor het vervangende onderdeel kosten in rekening brengen. Bij reparatie door de klant betaalt Hewlett Packard Enterprise alle verzendkosten voor het vervangende en geretourneerde onderdeel en kiest Hewlett Packard Enterprise zelf welke koerier/transportonderneming hiervoor wordt gebruikt.

Neem contact op met een Service Partner voor meer informatie over het Customer Self Repair programma van Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Informatie over Service Partners vindt u op de Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/support/selfrepair).

Reparo feito pelo cliente

Os produtos da Hewlett Packard Enterprise são projetados com muitas peças para reparo feito pelo cliente (CSR) de modo a minimizar o tempo de reparo e permitir maior flexibilidade na substituição de peças com defeito. Se, durante o período de diagnóstico, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise (ou fornecedores/parceiros da Hewlett Packard Enterprise) concluir que o reparo pode ser efetuado pelo uso de uma peça CSR, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise enviará a peça diretamente ao cliente. Há duas categorias de peças CSR:

• Obrigatória—Peças cujo reparo feito pelo cliente é obrigatório. Se desejar que a Hewlett Packard

Enterprise substitua essas peças, serão cobradas as despesas de transporte e mão-de-obra do serviço.

• Opcional—Peças cujo reparo feito pelo cliente é opcional. Essas peças também são projetadas

para o reparo feito pelo cliente. No entanto, se desejar que a Hewlett Packard Enterprise as substitua, pode haver ou não a cobrança de taxa adicional, dependendo do tipo de serviço de garantia destinado ao produto.

OBSERVAÇÃO: Algumas peças da Hewlett Packard Enterprise não são projetadas para o reparo feito pelo cliente. A fim de cumprir a garantia do cliente, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise exige que um técnico autorizado substitua a peça. Essas peças estão identificadas com a marca "No" (Não), no catálogo de peças ilustrado.

Conforme a disponibilidade e o local geográfico, as peças CSR serão enviadas no primeiro dia útil após o pedido. Onde as condições geográficas permitirem, a entrega no mesmo dia ou em quatro horas pode ser feita mediante uma taxa adicional. Se precisar de auxílio, entre em contato com o Centro de suporte técnico da Hewlett Packard Enterprise para que um técnico o ajude por telefone. A Hewlett Packard Enterprise especifica nos materiais fornecidos com a peça CSR de reposição se a peça com defeito deve ser devolvida à Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Nos casos em que isso for necessário, é preciso enviar a peça com defeito à Hewlett Packard Enterprise, você deverá enviar a peça com defeito de volta para a Hewlett Packard Enterprise dentro do período de tempo definido, normalmente em 5 (cinco) dias úteis. A peça com defeito deve ser enviada com a documentação correspondente no material de transporte fornecido. Caso não o faça, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise poderá cobrar a reposição. Para as peças de reparo feito pelo cliente, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise paga todas as despesas de transporte e de devolução da peça e determina a transportadora/serviço postal a ser utilizado.

Para obter mais informações sobre o programa de reparo feito pelo cliente da Hewlett Packard Enterprise, entre em contato com o fornecedor de serviços local. Para o programa norte-americano, visite o site da Hewlett Packard Enterprise (http://www.hpe.com/support/selfrepair).
