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 7.
With optional drive cages installed, the server supports up to 8 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.
• Four-bay LFF non-hot-plug drive model
Drive Numbering 17
• Four-bay LFF hot-plug drive model
• Eight-bay SFF hot-plug drive model

Operations
Power up the server
To power up the server, press the Power On/Standby button.
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 5.
This method initiates a controlled remote shutdown of applications and the OS before the server enters
standby mode.
Before proceeding, verify that the server is in standby mode by observing that the system power LED is
amber.
Remove the server from the rack
WARNING:
This server is heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment:
• Observe local occupational health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual material
handling.
• Get help to lift and stabilize the product during installation or removal, especially when the product is
not fastened to the rails. Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that a minimum of two people are
required for all rack server installations. A third person may be required to help align the server if the
server is installed higher than chest level.
• Use caution when installing the server in or removing the server from the rack; it is unstable when
not fastened to the rails.

Operational requirements
Space and airflow requirements
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 63.5 cm (25 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.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise servers draw in cool air through the front door and expel warm air through the
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.
Setup 29
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 arrangement ensures proper
airflow. Using a rack without blanking panels results in improper 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:
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 ambient operating temperature (TMRA) for most server products is 35°C
(95°F). The temperature in the room where the rack 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 the server or to increase the internal rack
temperature beyond the maximum 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.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not overload the AC supply
branch circuit that provides power to the rack. Consult the electrical authority having jurisdiction over
wiring and installation requirements of your facility.
CAUTION:
Protect the server from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a regulating uninterruptible
power supply. This device protects the hardware from damage caused by power surges and voltage
spikes and keeps the system in operation during a power failure.
