6. Press Y to save the changes.

The Change saved confirmation prompt appears.

7. Select Exit and resume system boot, and press Enter.

The server continues the normal boot process.

NMI functionality

An NMI crash dump creates a crash dump log before resetting a system which is not responding.

Crash dump log analysis is an essential part of diagnosing reliability problems, such as failures of operating systems, device drivers, and applications. Many crashes freeze a system, and the only available action for administrators is to restart the system. Resetting the system erases any information which could support problem analysis, but the NMI feature preserves that information by performing a memory dump before a system reset.

To force the system to invoke the NMI handler and generate a crash dump log, do one of the following:

• Use the iLO Virtual NMI feature.

• Short the NMI header ("System board components" on page 10).

For more information, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/support/NMI-CrashDump).

PCI fan

The option is required to replace the default system fan when a 140 W workstation processor or SAS SSD drives are installed.

The PCI fan is part of the PCI fan and baffle option. The option is required when a storage controller, GPU card or any expansion board is installed in the PCIe slot area except the dedicated iLO module.

Drive numbering

The following images show the drive numbering for each of the supported drive configurations. For drive box numbering information, see "Front panel components (on page 6)."

With optional drive cages installed, the server supports up to 4 LFF non-hot-plug drives, 8 LFF hot-plug drives or 16 SFF hot-plug drives. If only one drive cage is installed, it must be installed in box 1. The server does not support mixing SFF and LFF drives.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that you populate drive bays starting with the lowest drive number. Drives are numbered from left to right in each component box.

Operations

Power down the server

Before powering down the server for any upgrade or maintenance procedures, perform a backup of critical server data and programs.

IMPORTANT: When the server is in standby mode, auxiliary power is still being provided to the system.

To power down the server, use one of the following methods:

• Press and release the Power On/Standby button.

This method initiates a controlled shutdown of applications and the OS before the server enters standby mode.

• Press and hold the Power On/Standby button for more than 4 seconds to force the server to enter

standby mode.

This method forces the server to enter standby mode without properly exiting applications and the OS. If an application stops responding, you can use this method to force a shutdown.

• Use a virtual power button selection through iLO 4.

This method initiates a controlled remote shutdown of applications and the OS before the server enters standby mode.

Before proceeding, verify the server is in standby mode by observing that the system power LED is amber.

Optimum environment

When installing the server, select a location that meets the environmental standards described in this

Space and airflow requirements

section.

Tower server

In a tower configuration, leave at least a 7.6-cm (3-in) clearance space at the front and back of the server for proper ventilation.

Rack server

To allow for servicing and adequate airflow, observe the following space and airflow requirements when deciding where to install a rack:

• Leave a minimum clearance of 85.09 cm (33.5 in) in front of the rack.

• Leave a minimum clearance of 76.2 cm (30 in) behind the rack.

• Leave a minimum clearance of 121.9 cm (48 in) from the back of the rack to the back of another rack

or row of racks.

rear door. Therefore, the front and rear rack doors must be adequately ventilated to allow ambient room air to enter the cabinet, and the rear door must be adequately ventilated to allow the warm air to escape from the cabinet.

CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and damage to the equipment, do not block the ventilation openings.

When vertical space in the rack is not filled by a server or rack component, the gaps between the components cause changes in airflow through the rack and across the servers. Cover all gaps with blanking panels to maintain proper airflow.

CAUTION: Always use blanking panels to fill empty vertical spaces in the rack. This

cooling that can lead to thermal damage.

The 9000 and 10000 Series Racks provide proper server cooling from flow-through perforations in the front and rear doors that provide 64 percent open area for ventilation.

CAUTION: When using a Compaq branded 7000 series rack, install the high airflow rack door insert (PN 327281-B21 for 42U rack, PN 157847-B21 for 22U rack) to provide proper front-to-back airflow and cooling.

CAUTION: If a third-party rack is used, observe the following additional requirements to ensure adequate airflow and to prevent damage to the equipment:

• Front and rear doors—If the 42U rack includes closing front and rear doors, you must allow 5,350 sq cm (830 sq in) of holes evenly distributed from top to bottom to permit adequate airflow (equivalent to the required 64 percent open area for ventilation).

• Side—The clearance between the installed rack component and the side panels of the rack must be a minimum of 7 cm (2.75 in).

Temperature requirements

To ensure continued, safe, and reliable equipment operation, install or position the system in a well-ventilated, climate-controlled environment.

The maximum recommended TMRA for most server products is 35°C (95°F). The temperature in the room where the server is located must not exceed 35°C (95°F).

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to the equipment when installing third-party options:

• Do not permit optional equipment to impede airflow around allowable limits.

• Do not exceed the manufacturer’s TMRA.

Power requirements

Installation of this equipment must comply with local and regional electrical regulations governing the installation of information technology equipment by licensed electricians. This equipment is designed to operate in installations covered by NFPA 70, 1999 Edition (National Electric Code) and NFPA-75, 1992 (code for Protection of Electronic Computer/Data Processing Equipment). For electrical power ratings on options, refer to the product rating label or the user documentation supplied with that option.

When installing more than one server, you might need to use additional power distribution devices to safely provide power to all devices. Observe the following guidelines:

• Balance the server power load between available AC supply branch circuits.

• Do not allow the overall system AC current load to exceed 80% of the branch circuit AC current

rating.

• Do not use common power outlet strips for this equipment.

• Provide a separate electrical circuit for the server.

For more information on the hot-plug power supply and calculators to determine server power consumption in various system configurations, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Power Advisor website (http://www.hpe.com/info/poweradvisor/online).

Electrical grounding requirements

The server must be grounded properly for proper operation and safety. In the United States, you must install the equipment in accordance with NFPA 70, 1999 Edition (National Electric Code), Article 250, as well as any local and regional building codes. In Canada, you must install the equipment in accordance with Canadian Standards Association, CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code. In all other countries, you must install the equipment in accordance with any regional or national electrical wiring codes, such as the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Code 364, parts 1 through 7. Furthermore, you must be sure that all power distribution devices used in the installation, such as branch wiring and receptacles, are listed or certified grounding-type devices.

Because of the high ground-leakage currents associated with multiple servers connected to the same power source, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends the use of a PDU that is either permanently wired to the building’s branch circuit or includes a nondetachable cord that is wired to an industrial-style plug. NEMA locking-style plugs or those complying with IEC 60309 are considered suitable for this purpose.

Using common power outlet strips for the server is not recommended.
