This guide is for service technicians. HP assumes you are qualified in the servicing of computer equipment and trained in recognizing hazard in products with hazardous energy levels and are familiar with weight and stability precautions for rack installations.

Technician notes

WARNING! Only authorized technicians trained by HP should attempt to repair this equipment. All
troubleshooting and repair procedures are detailed to allow only subassembly/module-level repair. Because of the complexity of the individual boards and subassemblies, no one should attempt to make repairs at the component level or to make modifications to any printed wiring board. Improper repairs can create a safety hazard.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal injury from electric shock and hazardous energy levels, do not
exceed the level of repairs specified in these procedures. Because of the complexity of the individual boards and subassemblies, do not attempt to make repairs at the component level or to make modifications to any printed wiring board. Improper repairs can create conditions that are hazardous.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
Disconnect power from the system by unplugging all power cords from the power supplies.
Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety
feature.
Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all
times.
CAUTION: To properly ventilate the system, you must provide at least 7.6 cm (3.0 in) of clearance at the front
and back of the server.
CAUTION: The computer is designed to be electrically grounded (earthed). To ensure proper operation, plug
the AC power cord into a properly grounded AC outlet only.
NOTE: Any indications of component replacement or printed wiring board modifications may void any
warranty.

3 Removal and replacement procedures
You need the following items for some procedures:
Torx T-15 tool
Flathead screwdriver
Diagnostics Utility on the HP SmartStart CD

Safety considerations

Before performing service procedures, review the following safety information.

Electrostatic discharge

A discharge of static electricity can damage static-sensitive devices or microcircuitry. Proper packaging and grounding techniques are necessary precautions to prevent damage. To prevent electrostatic damage:
Transport products in static-safe containers such as conductive tubes, bags, or boxes.
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free stations.
Cover workstations with approved static-dissipating material. Use a wrist strap connected to the work surface
and properly grounded (earthed) tools and equipment.
Keep work area free of nonconductive materials such as ordinary plastic assembly aids and foam packing.
Be sure that you are properly grounded (earthed) when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
Use nonconductive field service tools.

Server warnings and cautions

WARNING! Do not exceed the level of repair specified in the procedures in the product documentation. All
troubleshooting and repair procedures are detailed to allow only subassembly or module-level repair. Because of the complexity of the individual boards and subassemblies, do not attempt to make repairs at the component level or to make modifications to any printed wiring board. Improper repairs can create a safety hazard.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
Do not disable the AC power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety
feature.
Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all
times.
Unplug the power cord from each power supply to disconnect power to the equipment.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the hot-plug drives and the internal
system components to cool before touching.
CAUTION: Do not operate the server for extended periods without the access panel. Operating the server
without the access panel results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.

Preparation procedures

To access some components and perform certain service procedures, you must do one or more of the following:
Extend the server from the rack.
Removal and replacement procedures 14
IMPORTANT: If you are performing service procedures in an HP, Compaq branded, or third-party rack
cabinet, you can use the locking feature of the rack rails to support the server and gain access to internal components.
For more information about telco rack solutions, see the RackSolutions.com website at
http://www.racksolutions.com/hp
Access internal components.
If you must access internal components for removal or replacement, you can remove the access panel without removing the server from the rack.
Power down the server.
NOTE: Do not power down the server if you are performing a hot-plug procedure.
Remove the server from the rack.
If the rack environment, cabling configuration, or the server location in the rack creates awkward conditions, remove the server from the rack.
WARNING! Before lifting the server, remove all hot-plug power supplies and hard drives to reduce the weight.

Powering down the server

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 power is removed.
.
IMPORTANT: If installing a hot-plug device, it is not necessary to power down the server.
1. Back up the server data.
2. Shut down the operating system as directed by the operating system documentation.
3. If the server is installed in a rack, press the UID LED button on the front panel. Blue LEDs illuminate on the front
and rear of the server.
4. Press the Power on/Standby button to place the server in standby mode. When the server activates standby
power mode, the system power LED changes to amber.
Figure 3 Identifying the UID LED (1) and Power on/Standby buttons (2)
5. If the server is installed in a rack, locate the server by identifying the illuminated rear UID LED button.
6. Disconnect the power cords.
Removal and replacement procedures 15
The system is now without power.

Locating and removing the Torx T-15 tool

Many hardware procedures in the server are toolless, but a few require the removal of Torx T-15 screws that have been installed for shipping or security reasons. A Torx T-15 tool ships with the server for the removal of these screws.

Memory options

Minimum memory requirements

Two DIMMs must be installed in bank 1 on the processor memory board in slot two.
All DIMMs on a processor memory board must have the same part number.
NOTE: Processor memory boards in slots 1, 3, and 4 can be installed without memory. Certain application
programs run more efficiently if the DIMMs are balanced across all processor memory boards.

Memory population guidelines for processor memory boards with eight DIMM slots

DIMMs on different processor memory boards can be of different sizes.
DIMMs on the same processor memory board must be of the same size and have the same part number.
DIMMs must be installed on a processor memory board in pairs and in bank order.
DIMMs must populate three or fewer banks on a memory board with PC2700 DIMMs to maintain a memory
clock speed of 333 MHz.
NOTE: If all four banks (eight DIMM slots) are populated with PC2700 DIMMs, the maximum memory clock
speed will be 266 MHz.

Hot-plug SCSI hard drives

Drive replacement precautions

Be aware of the following guidelines cautioning unsafe hot-plug replacement.
Do not remove a degraded drive if any other member of the array is offline (the online LED is off). No other
drive in the array is hot-pluggable without data loss. The exception to this is the use of RAID 1+0 as a fault­tolerant configuration. In this case, drives are mirrored in pairs. More than one drive can fail and be replaced as long as the drive or drives they are mirroring are online.
Do not remove a degraded drive if any member of an array is missing (removed previously and not yet
replaced).
Do not remove a degraded drive if any member of an array is being rebuilt, unless the drive being rebuilt has
been configured as an online spare. The online LED for the drive flashes green or amber, indicating that a replaced drive is being rebuilt from the data stored on the other drives.
NOTE: An online spare drive does not activate and start rebuilding after a predictive failure alert because the
degraded drive is still online. The online spare activates only after a drive in the array has failed.
Do not replace multiple degraded drives at the same time because the fault tolerance can be compromised.
When a drive is replaced, the controller uses data from the other drives in the array to reconstruct data on the replacement drive. If more than one drive is removed, a complete data set is not available to reconstruct data on the replacement drive or drives, and permanent data loss can occur.
CAUTION: Do not turn off any external unit when the server containing. A Smart Array controller is powered
up. Also, do not power up the server before powering up the drive enclosure. If these ordering rules are not followed, the Smart Array controller might mark the drives in this enclosure as failed, resulting in permanent data loss.
