PCIe slot description
Item Description Definition
1 PCI Express version
Each PCIe version corresponds to a specific data transfer rate
between the processor and peripheral devices. Generally, a
version update corresponds to an increase in transfer rate.
• PCIe 1.x
• PCIe 2.x
• PCIe 3.x
2 Physical connector link width
3
Negotiable link width These numbers correspond to the maximum link bandwidth
The PCIe technology is under constant development. For the
latest information, see the PCI-SIG website.
PCIe devices communicate through a logical connection called
an interconnect or link. At the physical level, a link is composed
of one or more lanes. The number of lanes is written with an "×"
prefix with ×16 being the largest size in common use.
• ×1
• ×2
• ×4
• ×8
• ×16

2. Remove the bezel.
a. Press the latch.
b. Open the bezel.
c. Detach the bezel from the latch ear.
Installing the bezel
Procedure
Install the bezel.

a. Attach the bezel to the latch ear.
b. Press the latch.
c. Close the bezel.
26 Operations
2. Install the Kensington security lock.
Powering up the server
Procedure
Remove the bezel.
1.
Use one of the following methods to power up the server:
2.
• Press the Power On/Standby button.
• Use the virtual power button through iLO.
Install the bezel.
3.
Powering down the server
IMPORTANT: When the server is in standby mode, auxiliary power is still being provided to the system.
Prerequisites
Before powering down the server for any upgrade or maintenance procedures, perform a backup of critical server data
and programs.
Procedure
Remove the bezel.
1.
2. To power down the server, use one of the following methods.
• Press and release the Power On/Standby button.
Operations 27
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.
This method initiates a controlled remote shutdown of applications and the OS before the server enters standby
mode.
3. Verify that the server is in standby mode by observing that the system power LED is amber.
Accessing the product rear panel
Procedure
1. Release the cable management arm.
Open the cable management arm.
2.
The cable management arm can be right-mounted or left-mounted.
28 Operations
Extending the server from the rack
To perform this procedure, you will need a T-25 screwdriver.
NOTE: If the optional cable management arm option is installed, you can extend the server without powering down the
server or disconnecting peripheral cables and power cords. These steps are only necessary with the standard cable
management solution.
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.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, be careful when pressing the server rail-release latches and sliding
the server into the rack. The sliding rails could pinch your fingers.
Procedure
If installed,
1.
Power down the server.
2.
Disconnect all peripheral cables and power cords.
3.
4. Do the following:
a. Open the latches on both sides of the server.
b. If necessary, use a T-25 Torx screwdriver to loosen the shipping screws.
c. Slide the server out of the rack.
remove the bezel.
Operations 29
5. Extend the server on the rack rails until the server rail-release latches engage.
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. If the server is installed higher than chest level, a third person may be required to help align the
server.
• Use caution when installing the server in or removing the server from the rack. The server is unstable when not
fastened to the rails.
Procedure
If installed,
1.
Power down the server.
2.
Extend the server from the rack.
3.
4. Remove the server from the rack. Press and hold both server rail-release latches while removing the server.
30 Operations
