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

To extend the server from a Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Compaq-branded, Telco, or third-party rack:

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

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

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

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).
