CAUTION: Clearing CMOS and/or NVRAM deletes configuration information. Be sure to properly configure the server or data loss could occur.

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 9).

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

changes from amber to green.

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

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, electric shock, or damage to the equipment, remove the power cord to remove power from the server. The front panel Power On/Standby button does not completely shut off system power. Portions of the power supply and some internal circuitry remain active until AC/DC power is removed.

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.

Extend the server from the rack

IMPORTANT: The requirement of extending or removing the server from the rack when performing installation and maintenance procedures depends on the rail system used:

• If using a ball-bearing rail system, you can perform most installations and maintenance by simply extending the server from the rack.

• If using a friction rail system, to perform installations or maintenance that requires access panel removal, remove the server from the rack.

Operations 15

Optimum environment

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

Space and airflow requirements

this section.

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 inches) in front of the rack.

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

• Leave a minimum clearance of 121.9 cm (48 inches) 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 and expel warm air through the rear. 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.

Setup 20

Page 21

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 might cause changes in airflow through the rack and across the servers. To maintain airflow cover all gaps with blanking panels.

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% 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 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 powe failure.

Setup 21

Page 22

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.

Connecting a DC power cable to a DC power source

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

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or energy hazards:

• This equipment must be installed by trained service personnel, as defined by the NEC and IEC 60950-1, Second Edition, the standard for Safety of Information Technology Equipment.

• Connect the equipment to a reliably grounded SELV source. An SELV source is a secondary circuit that is designed so normal and single fault conditions do not cause the voltages to exceed a safe level (60 V direct current).

• The branch circuit overcurrent protection must be rated 20A.

WARNING: When installing a DC power supply, the ground wire must be connected before the positive or negative leads.

WARNING: Remove power from the power supply before performing any installation steps or maintenance on the power supply.

CAUTION: The server equipment connects the earthed conductor of the DC supply circuit to the earthing conductor at the equipment. For more information, see the HPE 750W Common Slot -48V DC Input Hot-Plug Power Supply Kit Installation Instructions.

Setup 22

Page 23

CAUTION: If the DC connection exists between the earthed conductor of the DC supply circuit and the earthing conductor at the server equipment, the following conditions must be met:

• This equipment must be connected directly to the DC supply system earthing electrode conductor or to a bonding jumper from an earthing terminal bar or bus to which the DC supply system earthing electrode conductor is connected.

• This equipment should be located in the same immediate area (such as adjacent cabinets) as any other equipment that has a connection between the earthed conductor of the same DC supply circuit and the earthing conductor, and also the point of earthing of the DC system. The DC system should be earthed elsewhere.

• The DC supply source is to be located within the same premises as the equipment.

• Switching or disconnecting devices should not be in the earthed circuit conductor between

the DC source and the point of connection of the earthing electrode conductor.

To connect a DC power cable to a DC power source:

1. Cut the DC power cord ends no shorter than 150 cm (59.06 in).

2. If the power source requires ring tongues, use a crimping tool to install the ring tongues on the power

cord wires.

IMPORTANT: The ring tongues must be UL approved and accommodate 12 gauge wires.

IMPORTANT: The minimum nominal thread diameter of a pillar or stud type terminal must be

3.5 mm (0.138 in); the diameter of a screw type terminal must be 4.0 mm (0.157 in).

3. Stack each same-colored pair of wires and then attach them to the same power source. The power

cord consists of three wires (black, red, and green).

For more information, see the HPE 750W Common Slot -48V DC Input Hot-Plug Power Supply Installation Instructions.

Controller options

The server ships with an embedded Smart Array B120i controller. For more information about the controller and its features, see the HPE Dynamic Smart Array RAID Controller User Guide on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/info/smartstorage/docs).

Upgrade options exist for an integrated array controller. For a list of supported options, see the product QuickSpecs on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/info/qs).

To configure arrays, see the HPE Smart Storage Administrator User Guide on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/info/smartstorage/docs).

The server supports FBWC. FBWC consists of a cache module and a capacitor pack. The DDR cache module buffers and stores data being written by the controller. When the system is powered on, the capacitor pack fully charges in approximately 5 minutes. If a system power failure occurs, a fully charged capacitor pack provides power for up to 80 seconds. During that interval, the controller transfers the cached data from DDR memory to flash memory, where the data remains indefinitely or until a controller retrieves the data.

The data protection and the time limit also apply if a power outage occurs. When power is restored to the system, an initialization process writes the preserved data to the storage drives.

CAUTION: The cache module connector does not use the industry-standard DDR3 mini-DIMMs. Do not use the controller with cache modules designed for other controller models, because the controller can malfunction and you can lose data. Also, do not transfer this cache module to an unsupported controller model, because you can lose data.

CAUTION: To prevent a server malfunction or damage to the equipment, do not add or remove the capacitor pack while an array capacity expansion, RAID level migration, or stripe size migration is in progress.

CAUTION: After the server is powered down, wait for 30 seconds, and then check the amber LED before unplugging the cable from the cache module. If the amber LED flashes after 30 seconds, do not remove the cable from the cache module. The cache module is backing up data. Data will be lost if the cable is detached when the amber LED is still flashing.

IMPORTANT: The capacitor pack might have a low charge when installed. If the pack does have low charge a POST error message appears when the server is powered up, indicating that the capacitor pack is temporarily disabled. No action is necessary. The internal circuitry automatically recharges the capacitors and enables the capacitor pack. This process might take up to 4 hours. During this time, the cache module functions properly but without the performance advantage of the capacitor pack.

Installing a storage controller

Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends installing the storage controller option in a full-height expansion slot for better cable routing.

IMPORTANT: For additional installation and configuration information, see the documentation that ships with the option.

Memory options

IMPORTANT: This server does not support mixing LRDIMMs, RDIMMs, or UDIMMs. Attempting to mix any combination of these DIMMs can cause the server to halt during BIOS

The memory subsystem in this server can support LRDIMMs, RDIMMs, or UDIMMs.

• UDIMMs represent the basic type of memory module and offer lower latency and (relatively) low

initialization.

power consumption, but are limited in capacity.

• RDIMMs offer larger capacities than UDIMMs and include address parity protection.

• LRDIMMs support higher densities than single-rank and dual-rank RDIMMs. This support enables

you to install more high capacity DIMMs, resulting in higher system capacities and higher bandwidth.

All types are referred to as DIMMs when the information applies to all types. When specified as LRDIMM, RDIMM, or UDIMM, the information applies to that type only. All memory installed in the server must be of the same type.

The server supports the following DIMM speeds:

• Single-rank and dual-rank PC3-10600 (DDR-1333) UDIMMs operating at up to 1333 MT/s

• Single-rank and dual-rank PC3-12800 (DDR-1600) UDIMMs operating at up to 1600 MT/s

• Single-rank and dual-rank PC3-10600 (DDR-1333) RDIMMs operating at up to 1333 MT/s

HPE SmartMemory

HPE SmartMemory, introduced for Gen8 servers, authenticates and unlocks certain features available only on HPE Qualified memory and verifies whether installed memory has passed Hewlett Packard Enterprise qualification and test processes. Qualified memory is performance-tuned for ProLiant and BladeSystem servers and provides future enhanced support through Active Health and manageability software.

Certain performance features are unique with SmartMemory. SmartMemory 1.35V DDR3-1333 Registered memory is engineered to achieve the same performance level as 1.5V memory. For example, while the industry supports DDR3-1333 RDIMM at 1.5V, this Gen8 server supports DDR3-1333 RDIMM up to 3 DIMMs per channel at 1066 MT/s running at 1.35V. This equates to up to 20% less power at the DIMM level with no performance penalty. In addition, the industry supports UDIMM at 2 DIMMs per channel at 1066 MT/s. SmartMemory supports 2 DIMMs per channel at 1333 MT/s, or 25% greater bandwidth.

Single-rank and dual-rank DIMMs

DIMM configuration requirements are based on these classifications:

• Single-rank DIMM—One set of memory chips that is accessed while writing to or reading from the

memory.

• Dual-rank DIMM—Two single-rank DIMMs on the same module, with only one rank accessible at a

time.

The server memory control subsystem selects the proper rank within the DIMM when writing to or reading from the DIMM.

Hardware options installation 47

Dual-rank DIMMs provide the greatest capacity with the existing memory technology. For example, if

A D 1

current DRAM technology supports 2-GB single-rank DIMMs, a dual-rank DIMM would be 4 GB.

Memory subsystem architecture

The memory subsystem in this server is divided into channels. Each processor supports three channels, and each channel supports two DIMM slots.

Channel Population order Slot number

DIMM slots in this server are identified by number and by letter. Letters identify the population order. Slot numbers are reported by ROM messages during boot and for error reporting. For more information, see "DIMM slot locations (on page 10)."

Memory protection modes

To optimize server availability, the server supports the following AMP modes:

• Advanced ECC—Provides up to 4-bit error correction and enhanced performance over Lockstep

memory mode. This mode is the default option for the server.

• Online Spare Memory—Provides protection against failing or degraded DIMMs. Certain memory is

reserved as spare, and automatic failover to spare memory occurs when the system detects a DIMM that is degrading. This enables DIMMs that have a higher probability of receiving an uncorrectable memory error (which results in system downtime) to be removed from operation.

The server also can operate in independent channel mode or combined channel mode (Lockstep Memory mode). When running in Lockstep Memory mode, you gain reliability in one of two ways:

• If running with UDIMMs (built with x8 DRAM devices), the system can survive a complete DRAM

failure (SDDC). In independent channel mode, this failure would be an uncorrectable error.

• If running with RDIMM (built with x4 DRAM devices), the system can survive the complete failure of

two DRAM devices (DDDC). Running in independent mode, the server can only survive the complete failure of a single DRAM device (SDDC).

Advanced Memory Protection options are configured in RBSU. If the requested AMP mode is not supported by the installed DIMM configuration, the server boots in Advanced ECC mode. For more information, see "HPE ROM-Based Setup Utility (on page 77)."

Advanced ECC

Advanced ECC memory is the default memory protection mode for the server. Standard ECC can correct single-bit memory errors and detect multibit memory errors. When multibit errors are detected using Standard ECC, the error is signaled to the server and causes the server to halt.

Advanced ECC protects the server against some multibit memory errors. Advanced ECC can correct both single-bit memory errors and 4-bit memory errors if all failed bits are on the same DRAM device on the DIMM.

Advanced ECC provides additional protection over Standard ECC because it is possible to correct certain memory errors that would otherwise be uncorrected and result in a server failure. Using HPE Advanced Memory Error Detection technology, the server provides notification when a DIMM is degrading and has a higher probability of uncorrectable memory error.

Online Spare memory mode provides protection against degraded DIMMs by reducing the likelihood of uncorrected memory errors. This protection is available without any operating system support.

Online Spare memory protection dedicates one rank of each memory channel for use as spare memory. The remaining ranks are available for OS and application use. If correctable memory errors occur at a rate higher than a specific threshold on any of the non-spare ranks, the server automatically copies the memory contents of the degraded rank to the online spare rank. The server then deactivates the failing rank and automatically switches over to the online spare rank.

Lockstep Memory mode

Lockstep memory mode provides protection against multibit memory errors that occur on the same DRAM device. Lockstep memory mode can correct any single DRAM device failure on x4 and x8 DIMM types. The DIMMs in each channel must have identical HPE part numbers.

Lockstep memory mode uses channel 2 and channel 3. Channel 1 is not populated. Because channel 1 cannot be populated when using Lockstep memory mode, the maximum memory capacity is lower than Advanced ECC mode. Memory performance with Advanced ECC is also slightly higher.

Memory population guidelines

General DIMM slot population guidelines

Observe the following guidelines for all AMP modes:

• Install DIMMs only if the corresponding processor is installed.

• Do not mix LRDIMMs, UDIMMs, or RDIMMs.

• White DIMM slots denote the first slot of a channel (1-A, 2-B, 3-C).

• When two processors are installed, install the DIMMs in sequential alphabetical order balanced

between the two processors: P1-A, P2-A, P1-B, P2-B, P1-C, P2-C, and so forth.

• The minimum DIMM requirement to make this server bootable is one DIMM installed in slot 1-A.

For detailed memory configuration rules and guidelines, use the Online DDR3 Memory Configuration Tool

Utilities and features

HPE Smart Storage Administrator

The HPE SSA is a configuration and management tool for HPE Smart Array controllers. Starting with HPE ProLiant Gen8 servers, HPE SSA replaces ACU with an enhanced GUI and additional configuration features.

The HPE SSA exists in three interface formats: the HPE SSA GUI, the HPE SSA CLI, and HPE SSA Scripting. Although all formats provide support for configuration tasks, some of the advanced tasks are available in only one format.

Some HPE SSA features include the following:

• Supports online array capacity expansion, logical drive extension, assignment of online spares, and

RAID or stripe size migration

• Provides diagnostic and SmartSSD Wear Gauge functionality on the Diagnostics tab

• For supported controllers, provides access to additional features.

For more information about HPE SSA, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/servers/ssa).

Option ROM Configuration for Arrays

Before installing an operating system, you can use the ORCA utility to create the first logical drive, assign RAID levels, and establish online spare configurations.

The utility also provides support for the following functions:

• Reconfiguring one or more logical drives

• Viewing the current logical drive configuration

• Deleting a logical drive configuration

• Setting the controller to be the boot controller

• Selecting the boot volume

If you do not use the utility, ORCA will default to the standard configuration.

For more information regarding the default configurations that ORCA uses, see the HPE ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide on the Documentation CD or the HPE RBSU Information Library (http://www.hpe.com/info/rbsu/docs).

For more information about the storage controller and its features, select the relevant controller user documentation on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/support/SAC_UG_ProLiantServers_en).

To configure arrays, see the user guide for Smart Array Controllers on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/support/CASAC_RG_en).

ROMPaq utility

The ROMPaq utility enables you to upgrade the system firmware (BIOS). To upgrade the firmware, insert a ROMPaq USB Key into an available USB port and boot the system. In addition to ROMPaq, Online Flash Components for Windows and Linux operating systems are available for updating the system firmware.

Software and configuration utilities 80

Page 81

To locate the drivers for a particular server, go to the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/support/hpesc). Under Select your HPE product, enter the product name or number and click Go.

Automatic Server Recovery

ASR is a feature that causes the system to restart when a catastrophic operating system error occurs, such as a blue screen, ABEND (does not apply to HPE ProLiant DL980 Servers), or panic. A system fail-safe timer, the ASR timer, starts when the System Management driver, also known as the Health Driver, is loaded. When the operating system is functioning properly, the system periodically resets the timer. However, when the operating system fails, the timer expires and restarts the server.

ASR increases server availability by restarting the server within a specified time after a system hang. At the same time, the SIM console notifies you by sending a message to a designated pager number that ASR has restarted the system. You can disable ASR from the System Management Homepage or through RBSU.

USB support

Hewlett Packard Enterprise provides both standard USB 2.0 support and legacy USB 2.0 support. Standard support is provided by the OS through the appropriate USB device drivers. Before the OS loads, Hewlett Packard Enterprise provides support for USB devices through legacy USB support, which is enabled by default in the system ROM.

Legacy USB support provides USB functionality in environments where USB support is not available normally. Specifically, Hewlett Packard Enterprise provides legacy USB functionality for the following:

• POST

• RBSU

• Diagnostics

• DOS

• Operating environments which do not provide native USB support

Redundant ROM support

The server enables you to upgrade or configure the ROM safely with redundant ROM support. The server has a single ROM that acts as two separate ROM images. In the standard implementation, one side of the ROM contains the current ROM program version, while the other side of the ROM contains a backup version.

NOTE: The server ships with the same version programmed on each side of the ROM.

Safety and security benefits

When you flash the system ROM, ROMPaq writes over the backup ROM and saves the current ROM as a backup, enabling you to switch easily to the alternate ROM version if the new ROM becomes corrupted for any reason. This feature protects the existing ROM version, even if you experience a power failure while flashing the ROM.

Electrostatic discharge

Preventing electrostatic discharge

To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when setting up the system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device.

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.

Grounding methods to prevent electrostatic discharge

Several methods are used for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when handling or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:

• 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.

For more information on static electricity or assistance with product installation, contact an authorized reseller.

Customer Self Repair

Hewlett Packard Enterprise products are designed with many Customer Self Repair (CSR) parts to minimize repair time and allow for greater flexibility in performing defective parts replacement. If during the diagnosis period Hewlett Packard Enterprise (or Hewlett Packard Enterprise service providers or service partners) identifies that the repair can be accomplished by the use of a CSR part, Hewlett Packard Enterprise will ship that part directly to you for replacement. There are two categories of CSR parts:

• Mandatory—Parts for which customer self repair is mandatory. If you request Hewlett Packard

Enterprise to replace these parts, you will be charged for the travel and labor costs of this service.

• Optional—Parts for which customer self repair is optional. These parts are also designed for

customer self repair. If, however, you require that Hewlett Packard Enterprise replace them for you, there may or may not be additional charges, depending on the type of warranty service designated for your product.

NOTE: Some Hewlett Packard Enterprise parts are not designed for customer self repair. In order to satisfy the customer warranty, Hewlett Packard Enterprise requires that an authorized service provider replace the part. These parts are identified as "No" in the Illustrated Parts Catalog.

Based on availability and where geography permits, CSR parts will be shipped for next business day delivery. Same day or four-hour delivery may be offered at an additional charge where geography permits. If assistance is required, you can call the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support Center and a technician will help you over the telephone. Hewlett Packard Enterprise specifies in the materials shipped with a replacement CSR part whether a defective part must be returned to Hewlett Packard Enterprise. In cases where it is required to return the defective part to Hewlett Packard Enterprise, you must ship the defective part back to Hewlett Packard Enterprise within a defined period of time, normally five (5) business days. The defective part must be returned with the associated documentation in the provided shipping material. Failure to return the defective part may result in Hewlett Packard Enterprise billing you for the replacement. With a customer self repair, Hewlett Packard Enterprise will pay all shipping and part return costs and determine the courier/carrier to be used.

For more information about the Hewlett Packard Enterprise CSR program, contact your local service provider. For the North American program, go to the Hewlett Packard Enterprise CSR website (http://www.hpe.com/support/selfrepair).

Réparation par le client (CSR)

Les produits Hewlett Packard Enterprise comportent de nombreuses pièces CSR (Customer Self Repair = réparation par le client) afin de minimiser les délais de réparation et faciliter le remplacement des pièces défectueuses. Si pendant la période de diagnostic, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (ou ses partenaires ou mainteneurs agréés) détermine que la réparation peut être effectuée à l'aide d'une pièce CSR, Hewlett Packard Enterprise vous l'envoie directement. Il existe deux catégories de pièces CSR :

Support and other resources 96

Page 97

• Obligatoire—Pièces pour lesquelles la réparation par le client est obligatoire. Si vous demandez à

Hewlett Packard Enterprise de remplacer ces pièces, les coûts de déplacement et main d'œuvre du service vous seront facturés.

• Facultatif—Pièces pour lesquelles la réparation par le client est facultative. Ces pièces sont

également conçues pour permettre au client d'effectuer lui-même la réparation. Toutefois, si vous demandez à Hewlett Packard Enterprise de remplacer ces pièces, l'intervention peut ou non vous être facturée, selon le type de garantie applicable à votre produit.

REMARQUE: Certaines pièces Hewlett Packard Enterprise ne sont pas conçues pour permettre au client d'effectuer lui-même la réparation. Pour que la garantie puisse s'appliquer, Hewlett Packard Enterprise exige que le remplacement de la pièce soit effectué par un Mainteneur Agréé. Ces pièces sont identifiées par la mention "Non" dans le Catalogue illustré.

Les pièces CSR sont livrées le jour ouvré suivant, dans la limite des stocks disponibles et selon votre situation géographique. Si votre situation géographique le permet et que vous demandez une livraison le jour même ou dans les 4 heures, celle-ci vous sera facturée. Pour toute assistance, appelez le Centre d’assistance Hewlett Packard Enterprise pour qu’un technicien vous aide au téléphone. Dans les documents envoyés avec la pièce de rechange CSR, Hewlett Packard Enterprise précise s'il est nécessaire de lui retourner la pièce défectueuse. Si c'est le cas, vous devez le faire dans le délai indiqué, généralement cinq (5) jours ouvrés. La pièce et sa documentation doivent être retournées dans l'emballage fourni. Si vous ne retournez pas la pièce défectueuse, Hewlett Packard Enterprise se réserve le droit de vous facturer les coûts de remplacement. Dans le cas d'une pièce CSR, Hewlett Packard Enterprise supporte l'ensemble des frais d'expédition et de retour, et détermine la société de courses ou le transporteur à utiliser.

Pour plus d'informations sur le programme CSR de Hewlett Packard Enterprise, contactez votre Mainteneur Agrée local. Pour plus d'informations sur ce programme en Amérique du Nord, consultez le site Web Hewlett Packard Enterprise (http://www.hpe.com/support/selfrepair).

Riparazione da parte del cliente

Per abbreviare i tempi di riparazione e garantire una maggiore flessibilità nella sostituzione di parti difettose, i prodotti Hewlett Packard Enterprise sono realizzati con numerosi componenti che possono essere riparati direttamente dal cliente (CSR, Customer Self Repair). Se in fase di diagnostica Hewlett Packard Enterprise (o un centro di servizi o di assistenza Hewlett Packard Enterprise) identifica il guasto come riparabile mediante un ricambio CSR, Hewlett Packard Enterprise lo spedirà direttamente al cliente per la sostituzione. Vi sono due categorie di parti CSR:

• Obbligatorie—Parti che devono essere necessariamente riparate dal cliente. Se il cliente ne affida

la riparazione ad Hewlett Packard Enterprise, deve sostenere le spese di spedizione e di manodopera per il servizio.

• Opzionali—Parti la cui riparazione da parte del cliente è facoltativa. Si tratta comunque di

componenti progettati per questo scopo. Se tuttavia il cliente ne richiede la sostituzione ad Hewlett Packard Enterprise, potrebbe dover sostenere spese addizionali a seconda del tipo di garanzia previsto per il prodotto.

NOTA: alcuni componenti Hewlett Packard Enterprise non sono progettati per la riparazione da parte del cliente. Per rispettare la garanzia, Hewlett Packard Enterprise richiede che queste parti siano sostituite da un centro di assistenza autorizzato. Tali parti sono identificate da un "No" nel Catalogo illustrato dei componenti.

In base alla disponibilità e alla località geografica, le parti CSR vengono spedite con consegna entro il giorno lavorativo seguente. La consegna nel giorno stesso o entro quattro ore è offerta con un supplemento di costo solo in alcune zone. In caso di necessità si può richiedere l'assistenza telefonica di un addetto del centro di supporto tecnico Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Nel materiale fornito con una parte di ricambio CSR, Hewlett Packard Enterprise specifica se il cliente deve restituire dei component. Qualora sia richiesta la resa ad Hewlett Packard Enterprise del componente difettoso, lo si deve spedire ad Hewlett Packard Enterprise entro un determinato periodo di tempo, generalmente cinque (5) giorni lavorativi. Il componente difettoso deve essere restituito con la documentazione associata nell'imballo di

Support and other resources 97

Page 98

spedizione fornito. La mancata restituzione del componente può comportare la fatturazione del ricambio da parte di Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Nel caso di riparazione da parte del cliente, Hewlett Packard Enterprise sostiene tutte le spese di spedizione e resa e sceglie il corriere/vettore da utilizzare.

Per ulteriori informazioni sul programma CSR di Hewlett Packard Enterprise, contattare il centro di assistenza di zona. Per il programma in Nord America fare riferimento al sito Web (http://www.hpe.com/support/selfrepair).

Customer Self Repair

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Produkte enthalten viele CSR-Teile (Customer Self Repair), um Reparaturzeiten zu minimieren und höhere Flexibilität beim Austausch defekter Bauteile zu ermöglichen. Wenn Hewlett Packard Enterprise (oder ein Hewlett Packard Enterprise Servicepartner) bei der Diagnose feststellt, dass das Produkt mithilfe eines CSR-Teils repariert werden kann, sendet Ihnen Hewlett Packard Enterprise dieses Bauteil zum Austausch direkt zu. CSR-Teile werden in zwei Kategorien unterteilt:

• Zwingend—Teile, für die das Customer Self Repair-Verfahren zwingend vorgegeben ist. Wenn Sie

den Austausch dieser Teile von Hewlett Packard Enterprise vornehmen lassen, werden Ihnen die Anfahrt- und Arbeitskosten für diesen Service berechnet.

• Optional—Teile, für die das Customer Self Repair-Verfahren optional ist. Diese Teile sind auch für

Customer Self Repair ausgelegt. Wenn Sie jedoch den Austausch dieser Teile von Hewlett Packard Enterprise vornehmen lassen möchten, können bei diesem Service je nach den für Ihr Produkt vorgesehenen Garantiebedingungen zusätzliche Kosten anfallen.

HINWEIS: Einige Hewlett Packard Enterprise Teile sind nicht für Customer Self Repair ausgelegt. Um den Garantieanspruch des Kunden zu erfüllen, muss das Teil von einem Hewlett Packard Enterprise Servicepartner ersetzt werden. Im illustrierten Teilekatalog sind diese Teile mit „No“ bzw. „Nein“ gekennzeichnet.

CSR-Teile werden abhängig von der Verfügbarkeit und vom Lieferziel am folgenden Geschäftstag geliefert. Für bestimmte Standorte ist eine Lieferung am selben Tag oder innerhalb von vier Stunden gegen einen Aufpreis verfügbar. Wenn Sie Hilfe benötigen, können Sie das Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support Center anrufen und sich von einem Mitarbeiter per Telefon helfen lassen. Den Materialien von Hewlett Packard Enterprise, die mit einem CSR-Ersatzteil geliefert werden, können Sie entnehmen, ob das defekte Teil an Hewlett Packard Enterprise zurückgeschickt werden muss. Wenn es erforderlich ist, das defekte Teil an Hewlett Packard Enterprise zurückzuschicken, müssen Sie dies innerhalb eines vorgegebenen Zeitraums tun, in der Regel innerhalb von fünf (5) Geschäftstagen. Das defekte Teil muss mit der zugehörigen Dokumentation in der Verpackung zurückgeschickt werden, die im Lieferumfang enthalten ist. Wenn Sie das defekte Teil nicht zurückschicken, kann Hewlett Packard Enterprise Ihnen das Ersatzteil in Rechnung stellen. Im Falle von Customer Self Repair kommt Hewlett Packard Enterprise für alle Kosten für die Lieferung und Rücksendung auf und bestimmt den Kurier-/Frachtdienst.

Weitere Informationen über das Hewlett Packard Enterprise Customer Self Repair Programm erhalten Sie von Ihrem Servicepartner vor Ort. Informationen über das CSR-Programm in Nordamerika finden Sie auf der Hewlett Packard Enterprise Website unter (http://www.hpe.com/support/selfrepair).

Reparaciones del propio cliente

Los productos de Hewlett Packard Enterprise incluyen muchos componentes que el propio usuario puede reemplazar (Customer Self Repair, CSR) para minimizar el tiempo de reparación y ofrecer una mayor flexibilidad a la hora de realizar sustituciones de componentes defectuosos. Si, durante la fase de diagnóstico, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (o los proveedores o socios de servicio de Hewlett Packard Enterprise) identifica que una reparación puede llevarse a cabo mediante el uso de un componente CSR, Hewlett Packard Enterprise le enviará dicho componente directamente para que realice su sustitución. Los componentes CSR se clasifican en dos categorías:

Support and other resources 98

Page 99

• Obligatorio—componentes cuya reparación por parte del usuario es obligatoria. Si solicita a

Hewlett Packard Enterprise que realice la sustitución de estos componentes, tendrá que hacerse cargo de los gastos de desplazamiento y de mano de obra de dicho servicio.

• Opcional—componentes cuya reparación por parte del usuario es opcional. Estos componentes

también están diseñados para que puedan ser reparados por el usuario. Sin embargo, si precisa que Hewlett Packard Enterprise realice su sustitución, puede o no conllevar costes adicionales, dependiendo del tipo de servicio de garantía correspondiente al producto.

NOTA: Algunos componentes de Hewlett Packard Enterprise no están diseñados para que puedan ser reparados por el usuario. Para que el usuario haga valer su garantía, Hewlett Packard Enterprise pone como condición que un proveedor de servicios autorizado realice la sustitución de estos componentes. Dichos componentes se identifican con la palabra "No" en el catálogo ilustrado de componentes.

Según la disponibilidad y la situación geográfica, los componentes CSR se enviarán para que lleguen a su destino al siguiente día laborable. Si la situación geográfica lo permite, se puede solicitar la entrega en el mismo día o en cuatro horas con un coste adicional. Si precisa asistencia técnica, puede llamar al Centro de asistencia técnica de Hewlett Packard Enterprise y recibirá ayuda telefónica por parte de un técnico. Con el envío de materiales para la sustitución de componentes CSR, Hewlett Packard Enterprise especificará si los componentes defectuosos deberán devolverse a Hewlett Packard Enterprise. En aquellos casos en los que sea necesario devolver algún componente a Hewlett Packard Enterprise, deberá hacerlo en el periodo de tiempo especificado, normalmente cinco días laborables. Los componentes defectuosos deberán devolverse con toda la documentación relacionada y con el embalaje de envío. Si no enviara el componente defectuoso requerido, Hewlett Packard Enterprise podrá cobrarle por el de sustitución. En el caso de todas sustituciones que lleve a cabo el cliente, Hewlett Packard Enterprise se hará cargo de todos los gastos de envío y devolución de componentes y escogerá la empresa de transporte que se utilice para dicho servicio.

Customer Self Repair

Veel onderdelen in Hewlett Packard Enterprise producten zijn door de klant zelf te repareren, waardoor de reparatieduur tot een minimum beperkt kan blijven en de flexibiliteit in het vervangen van defecte onderdelen groter is. Deze onderdelen worden CSR-onderdelen (Customer Self Repair) genoemd. Als Hewlett Packard Enterprise (of een Hewlett Packard Enterprise Service Partner) bij de diagnose vaststelt dat de reparatie kan worden uitgevoerd met een CSR-onderdeel, verzendt Hewlett Packard Enterprise dat onderdeel rechtstreeks naar u, zodat u het defecte onderdeel daarmee kunt vervangen. Er zijn twee categorieën CSR-onderdelen:

• Verplicht—Onderdelen waarvoor reparatie door de klant verplicht is. Als u Hewlett Packard

Enterprise verzoekt deze onderdelen voor u te vervangen, worden u voor deze service reiskosten en arbeidsloon in rekening gebracht.

• Optioneel—Onderdelen waarvoor reparatie door de klant optioneel is. Ook deze onderdelen zijn

ontworpen voor reparatie door de klant. Als u echter Hewlett Packard Enterprise verzoekt deze onderdelen voor u te vervangen, kunnen daarvoor extra kosten in rekening worden gebracht, afhankelijk van het type garantieservice voor het product.

OPMERKING: Sommige Hewlett Packard Enterprise onderdelen zijn niet ontwikkeld voor reparatie door de klant. In verband met de garantievoorwaarden moet het onderdeel door een geautoriseerde Service Partner worden vervangen. Deze onderdelen worden in de geïllustreerde onderdelencatalogus aangemerkt met "Nee".

Afhankelijk van de leverbaarheid en de locatie worden CSR-onderdelen verzonden voor levering op de eerstvolgende werkdag. Levering op dezelfde dag of binnen vier uur kan tegen meerkosten worden aangeboden, indien dit mogelijk is gezien de locatie. Indien assistentie is gewenst, belt u het Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support Center om via de telefoon ondersteuning van een technicus te ontvangen.

Support and other resources 99

Page 100

Hewlett Packard Enterprise vermeldt in de documentatie bij het vervangende CSR-onderdeel of het defecte onderdeel aan Hewlett Packard Enterprise moet worden geretourneerd. Als het defecte onderdeel aan Hewlett Packard Enterprise moet worden teruggezonden, moet u het defecte onderdeel binnen een bepaalde periode, gewoonlijk vijf (5) werkdagen, retourneren aan Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Het defecte onderdeel moet met de bijbehorende documentatie worden geretourneerd in het meegeleverde verpakkingsmateriaal. Als u het defecte onderdeel niet terugzendt, kan Hewlett Packard Enterprise u voor het vervangende onderdeel kosten in rekening brengen. Bij reparatie door de klant betaalt Hewlett Packard Enterprise alle verzendkosten voor het vervangende en geretourneerde onderdeel en kiest Hewlett Packard Enterprise zelf welke koerier/transportonderneming hiervoor wordt gebruikt.

Neem contact op met een Service Partner voor meer informatie over het Customer Self Repair programma van Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Informatie over Service Partners vindt u op de Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/support/selfrepair).

Reparo feito pelo cliente

Os produtos da Hewlett Packard Enterprise são projetados com muitas peças para reparo feito pelo cliente (CSR) de modo a minimizar o tempo de reparo e permitir maior flexibilidade na substituição de peças com defeito. Se, durante o período de diagnóstico, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise (ou fornecedores/parceiros da Hewlett Packard Enterprise) concluir que o reparo pode ser efetuado pelo uso de uma peça CSR, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise enviará a peça diretamente ao cliente. Há duas categorias de peças CSR:

• Obrigatória—Peças cujo reparo feito pelo cliente é obrigatório. Se desejar que a Hewlett Packard

Enterprise substitua essas peças, serão cobradas as despesas de transporte e mão-de-obra do serviço.

• Opcional—Peças cujo reparo feito pelo cliente é opcional. Essas peças também são projetadas

para o reparo feito pelo cliente. No entanto, se desejar que a Hewlett Packard Enterprise as substitua, pode haver ou não a cobrança de taxa adicional, dependendo do tipo de serviço de garantia destinado ao produto.

OBSERVAÇÃO: Algumas peças da Hewlett Packard Enterprise não são projetadas para o reparo feito pelo cliente. A fim de cumprir a garantia do cliente, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise exige que um técnico autorizado substitua a peça. Essas peças estão identificadas com a marca "No" (Não), no catálogo de peças ilustrado.

Conforme a disponibilidade e o local geográfico, as peças CSR serão enviadas no primeiro dia útil após o pedido. Onde as condições geográficas permitirem, a entrega no mesmo dia ou em quatro horas pode ser feita mediante uma taxa adicional. Se precisar de auxílio, entre em contato com o Centro de suporte técnico da Hewlett Packard Enterprise para que um técnico o ajude por telefone. A Hewlett Packard Enterprise especifica nos materiais fornecidos com a peça CSR de reposição se a peça com defeito deve ser devolvida à Hewlett Packard Enterprise.
