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.
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.
26 Setup
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 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.

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
Setup 27
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.

Server warnings and cautions

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, electric shock, or damage to the equipment,
disconnect the power cord to remove power from the server. Pressing the Power On/Standby button does not shut off system power completely. Portions of the power supply and some internal circuitry remain active until AC power is removed.
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: Protect the server from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a regulating UPS. This device protects the hardware from damage caused by power surges and voltage spikes and keeps the server in operation during a power failure.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to electrical components, properly ground the server before beginning any installation procedure. Improper grounding can cause electrostatic discharge.
CAUTION: To avoid data loss, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that you back up all server data before installing or removing a hardware option, or performing a server maintenance or troubleshooting procedure.
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.

Rack warnings and cautions

WARNING: When all components are removed, the server weighs 6 kg (20.81 lb). When all
components are installed, the server can weigh up to 9.46 kg (13.18 lb).
Before configuring your rack solution, be sure to check the rack manufacturer weight limits and specifications. Failure to do so can result in physical injury or damage to the equipment and the facility.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure that:
The rack has anti-tip measures in place. Such measures include floor-bolting, anti-tip feet, ballast, or a combination as specified by the rack manufacturer and applicable codes.
The leveling jacks (feet) are extended to the floor.
The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks (feet).
The stabilizing feet are attached to the rack if it is a single-rack installation.
The racks are coupled together in multiple rack installations.
28 Setup
WARNING: The chassis is heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, do
the following:
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. The chassis weighs more than 6 kg (20.81 lb), so at least two people must lift the chassis into the rack together. An additional person may be required to help align the chassis if the chassis is installed higher than chest level.
Use caution when installing the chassis into or removing the chassis from the rack.
Adequately stabilized the chassis before extending a component outside the rack. Extend only one component at a time. The rack might become unstable if more than one component is extended.
Do not stack anything on top of rail-mounted component or use it as a work surface when extended from the rack.
WARNING: The rack rails form only a shelf for the chassis to rest on. The chassis is not attached to the rails by any other means. Slipping and falling chassis will cause bodily injury or damage the chassis, so use extreme care when pulling the chassis out from the rack. Hewlett Packard Enterprise is not responsible for any injury or damage caused by the mishandling of the chassis.
CAUTION: Before installing the server into a rack , be sure to properly scope the limitations of the rack . Before proceeding with the installation, consider the following:
You must fully understand the static and dynamic load carrying capacity of the rack and be sure that it can accommodate the maximum weight of the server.
Be sure sufficient clearance exists for cabling, installation and removal of the server, and movement of the rack doors.
CAUTION: Always plan the rack installation so that the heaviest item is on the bottom of the rack. Install the heaviest item first, and continue to populate the rack from the bottom to the top.

Electrostatic discharge

Be aware of the precautions you must follow when setting up the system or handling components. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or other static­sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the system or component.
To prevent electrostatic damage:
Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.
Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly. Use one or more of the following methods when handling or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:
Setup 29
Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer chassis. Wrist
straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm ±10 percent resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.
Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both feet when
standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor mats.
Use conductive field service tools.
Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.
If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, have an authorized reseller install the part.

Transceiver option

Transceiver warnings and cautions

WARNING: Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cables connected to transceivers emit laser light that
can damage your eyes. To avoid eye injuries, avoid direct eye exposure to the beam from the fiber-optic transceiver or into the ends of fiber-optic cables when they are powered-up.
86 Hardware options installation
CAUTION: The presence of dust in transceiver ports can cause poor cable connectivity. To prevent dust
from entering, install a dust plug in an unused transceiver port.
CAUTION: Supported transceivers can be hot-swapped—removed and installed while the server is powered-on. However, to prevent potential damage to the transceiver or the fiber-optic cable, disconnect the cable from the transceiver before hot-swapping it.
CAUTION: Do not remove and install transceivers more often than is necessary. Doing so can shorten the useful life of the transceiver.
IMPORTANT: When you replace a transceiver with another of a different type, the server might retain selected port-specific configuration settings that were configured for the replaced transceiver. Be sure to validate or reconfigure port settings as required.

Installing a transceiver

Prerequisites
Before installing a transceiver, be sure to read the following:
Transceiver warnings and cautions on page 86
Transceiver documentation for specific operational and cabling requirements
Procedure
1. Install the FlexibleLOM.
2. Hold the transceiver by its sides and gently insert it in slot 1 of the FlexibleLOM until it clicks into place.
Transceivers are keyed so that they can only be inserted in the correct orientation. If the transceiver does not fit easily into the port, you might have positioned it incorrectly. Reverse the orientation of the transceiver and insert it again.
3. Remove the dust plug or protective cover from the transceiver.
Hardware options installation 87
4. Connect a compatible network cable to the transceiver.
5. If needed, see the transceiver documentation for the model-specific fastening mechanism applicable to the
transceiver.
The installation is complete.

Chassis Intrusion detection option

The chassis intrusion detection option detects if the chassis access cover is opened or closed. The iLO management processor monitors the switch and if there is a change (if the access cover is either opened or closed), it creates a log entry noting the intrusion. You can set various alerting mechanisms (Remote SysLog, SNMP, AlertMail, and so on) to be notified of the intrusion. The switch and the iLO reporting occur as long as the server is plugged in, regardless of whether the server is powered on or off.
The iLO 5 chipset helps in detecting any intrusions. It provides an unprecedented level of hardware security with its silicon root of trust. The silicon root of trust:
Is based in the silicon chip hardware itself
Is impossible to alter
Enables firmware to be authenticated as far back as the supply chain
Provides a secure startup process
The iLO 5 chipset acts as a silicon root of trust and includes an encrypted hash embedded in silicon hardware at the chip fabrication facility. Thus making it virtually impossible to insert any malware, virus, or compromised code that would corrupt the boot process. Rather than the iLO firmware checking the integrity of the firmware every time it boots, the iLO 5 hardware determines whether to execute the iLO firmware, based on whether it matches the encryption hash that is permanently stored in the iLO chipset silicon. These improvements help ensure that, if iLO 5 is running, your server is trusted.

Installing the Chassis Intrusion Detection switch

HPE Trusted Platform Module 2.0 Gen10 option

Overview

Use these instructions to install and enable an HPE TPM 2.0 Gen10 Kit in a supported server. This option is not supported on Gen9 and earlier servers.
This procedure includes three sections:
1. Installing the Trusted Platform Module board.
2. Enabling the Trusted Platform Module.
3. Retaining the recovery key/password.
HPE TPM 2.0 installation is supported with specific operating system support such as Microsoft® Windows Server® 2012 R2 and later. For more information about operating system support, see the product QuickSpecs on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/info/qs). For more information about Microsoft® Windows® BitLocker Drive Encryption feature, see the Microsoft website (http://
www.microsoft.com).
CAUTION: If the TPM is removed from the original server and powered up on a different server, data
stored in the TPM including keys will be erased.
Hardware options installation 89
IMPORTANT: In UEFI Boot Mode, the HPE TPM 2.0 Gen10 Kit can be configured to operate as TPM
2.0 (default) or TPM 1.2 on a supported server. In Legacy Boot Mode, the configuration can be changed between TPM 1.2 and TPM 2.0, but only TPM 1.2 operation is supported.

HPE Trusted Platform Module 2.0 Guidelines

CAUTION: Always observe the guidelines in this document. Failure to follow these guidelines can cause
hardware damage or halt data access.
When installing or replacing a TPM, observe the following guidelines:
Do not remove an installed TPM. Once installed, the TPM is bound to the system board. If an OS is configured to use the TPM and it is removed, the OS may go into recovery mode, data loss can occur, or both.
When installing or replacing hardware, Hewlett Packard Enterprise service providers cannot enable the TPM or the encryption technology. For security reasons, only the customer can enable these features.
When returning a system board for service replacement, do not remove the TPM from the system board. When requested, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Service provides a TPM with the spare system board.
Any attempt to remove the cover of an installed TPM from the system board can damage the TPM cover, the TPM, and the system board.
If the TPM is removed from the original server and powered up on a different server, data stored in the TPM including keys will be erased.
When using BitLocker, always retain the recovery key/password. The recovery key/password is required to complete Recovery Mode after BitLocker detects a possible compromise of system integrity or system configuration.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise is not liable for blocked data access caused by improper TPM use. For operating instructions, see the TPM documentation or the encryption technology feature documentation provided by the operating system.

Retaining the recovery key/password
The recovery key/password is generated during BitLocker setup, and can be saved and printed after BitLocker is enabled. When using BitLocker, always retain the recovery key/password. The recovery key/ password is required to enter Recovery Mode after BitLocker detects a possible compromise of system integrity.
To help ensure maximum security, observe the following guidelines when retaining the recovery key/ password:
Always store the recovery key/password in multiple locations.
Always store copies of the recovery key/password away from the server.
Do not save the recovery key/password on the encrypted hard drive.

Cabling guidelines

The cable colors in the cabling diagrams used in this chapter are for illustration purposes only. Most of the server cables are black.
Observe the following guidelines when working with server cables.
Before connecting cables
Note the port labels on the PCA components. Not all of these components are used by all servers:
System board ports
Drive and power supply backplane ports
Expansion board ports (controllers, adapters, expanders, risers, and similar boards)
Note the label near each cable connector. This label indicates the destination port for the cable connector.
Some data cables are pre-bent. Do not unbend or manipulate the cables.
To prevent mechanical damage or depositing oil that is present on your hands, and other contamination, do not touch the ends of the connectors.
When connecting cables
Before connecting a cable to a port, lay the cable in place to verify the length of the cable.
Use the internal cable management features to properly route and secure the cables.
When routing cables, be sure that the cables are not in a position where they can be pinched or crimped.
Avoid tight bend radii to prevent damaging the internal wires of a power cord or a server cable. Never bend power cords and server cables tight enough to cause a crease in the sheathing.
Make sure that the excess length of cables are properly secured to avoid excess bends, interference issues, and airflow restriction.
To prevent component damage and potential signal interference, make sure that all cables are in their appropriate routing position before installing a new component and before closing up the server after hardware installation/maintenance.
When disconnecting cables
Grip the body of the cable connector. Do not pull on the cable itself because this action can damage the internal wires of the cable or the pins on the port.
If a cable does not disconnect easily, check for any release latch that must be pressed to disconnect the cable.
Cabling 95
Remove cables that are no longer being used. Retaining them inside the server can restrict airflow. If you intend to use the removed cables later, label and store them for future use.
