Operations
Power up the server
To power up the server, use one of the following methods:
• Press the Power On/Standby button.
• Use the virtual power button through iLO.
Powering 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.
Removing the front bezel
Procedure
1. If locked, unlock the front bezel.
2. Open the front bezel.
3. Pull the front bezel away from the chassis.
Operations 21
Installing the front bezel
Procedure
1. Insert the tabs on the bezel into the slots on the front chassis.
2. Close the front bezel.
3. Lock the front bezel.
Extending the server from the rack
NOTE: PCI fan is required while the server is in rack mode.
22 Operations
Procedure
1. Power down the server.
2. Remove all power:
a. Disconnect each power cord from the power source.
b. Disconnect each power cord from the server.
3. Disconnect all peripheral cables from the server.
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.
4. Slide the server tray out of the rack:
a. Loosen the server tray thumbscrews.
b. Grasp the tray notch and slide the server out of the rack.
Removing 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.
Operations 23
Procedure
1. Powering down the server on page 21.
2. Remove all power:
a. Disconnect each power cord from the power source.
b. Disconnect each power cord from the server.
3. Disconnect all peripherals cables from the server.
4. If installed, unlock and remove the security padlock and/or the Kensington security lock.
5. Extend the server from the rack.
6. Remove the server from the tray.
7. Place the server on a flat, level surface with access panel facing up.
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: To prevent damage to electrical components, take the appropriate anti-static precautions
before beginning any installation, removal, or replacement procedure. Improper grounding can
cause electrostatic discharge.
CAUTION: Do not operate the server for long periods with the access panel open or removed.
Operating the server in this manner results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to
thermal damage.
Procedure
1. Power down the server.
2. Remove all power:
24 Operations
a. Disconnect each power cord from the power source.
b. Disconnect each power cord from the server.
3. Disconnect all peripheral cables from the server.
4. If installed, unlock and remove the security padlock or Kensington security lock.
5. Do one of the following:
• If the server is in tower mode: Place the server on its side with the access panel facing up.
• If the server is in rack mode, do one of the following:
◦ Extend the server from the rack.
◦ Remove the server from the rack.
6. Remove the front bezel.
7. Remove the access panel:
a. Loosen the access panel thumbscrew.
b. Slide the access panel, and lift it away from the chassis.
Installing the access panel
Procedure
1. Install the access panel:
a. Place the access panel on the chassis and slide it toward the front of the server.
b. Tighten the access panel thumbscrew.
Operations 25
2. Install the front bezel.
3. Do one of the following:
• If the server is in tower mode: Return the server to an upright position.
• If the server is in rack mode, do one of the following:
◦ Install the server on the tray.
◦ Slide the server into the rack.
4. If removed, lock and install the security padlock or Kensington security lock.
5. Connect all peripheral cables to the server.
6. Connect each power cord to the server.
7. Connect each power cord to the power source.
8. Power up the server.
Removing the air baffle
CAUTION: For proper cooling, do not operate the server without the access panel, baffles,
expansion slot covers, or blanks installed. If the server supports hot-plug components, minimize the
amount of time the access panel is open.
Procedure
1. Power down the server.
2. Remove all power:
a. Disconnect each power cord from the power source.
b. Disconnect each power cord from the server.
3. Do one of the following:
26 Operations
• If the server is in tower mode: Place the server on its side with the access panel facing up.
• If the server is in rack mode, do one of the following:
◦ Extend the server from the rack.
◦ Remove the server from the rack.
4. Remove the front bezel.
5. Remove the access panel.
6. Remove the air baffle:
a. Remove the front end of the baffle from the chassis.
b. Remove the baffle from the slots on the rear chassis.
Installing the air baffle
