1 About this guide

This maintenance and service guide can be used for reference when servicing the HP ProLiant DL585 Server.

WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal injury from electric shock and hazardous energy levels, only

authorized service technicians should attempt to repair this equipment. Improper repairs can create conditions that are hazardous.

Audience assumptions

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

Page 15

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

Page 16

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.

1. Locate the Torx T-15 tool on the back of the server.

Reverse the steps to replace a drive blank.

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.

Removal and replacement procedures 26

Page 27

CAUTION: Remove or replace a hard drive only when the drive failure LED is amber. Data loss can occur if a

drive is removed when the drive online LED is green. See “Hot-plug SCSI hard drive LEDs” in Chapter 4, “Server component identification,” for more information.

CAUTION: Remove or replace only one hard drive at a time. The controller relies on other drives to reconstruct

data on the replaced drive. Drive reconstruction is active when the drive online LED is flashing green.

To remove a hot-plug SCSI hard drive:

1. Press the release button to unlock the ejector lever on the hard drive.

2. Open the ejector lever to release the drive.

3. Slide the drive out of the cage. Figure 19 Removing a hot-plug SCSI hard drive

IMPORTANT: Always populate hard drive bays starting with the lowest SCSI ID.

Reverse the steps to replace a hot-plug SCSI hard drive.

Hot-plug SAS or SATA hard drives

Figure 20 Hot-plug SAS or SATA hard drive ID numbers

When adding SAS hard drives to the server, observe the following general guidelines:

• The server supports eight SAS or SATA hot-plug hard drives.

Removal and replacement procedures 27

Page 28

• The system automatically sets all drive numbers.

• If only one hard drive is used, install it in the bay with the lowest number.

• Hard drives must be SFF types.

• Drives must be the same capacity to provide the greatest storage space efficiency when drives are grouped

together into the same drive array.

CAUTION: Remove or replace a hard drive only when the drive failure LED is amber. Data loss can occur if a

drive is removed when the drive Online/Activity status LED is green. See “Hot-plug SAS or SATA hard drive LEDs” in Chapter 4, “Server component identification,” for more information.

CAUTION: Remove or replace only one hard drive at a time. The controller relies on other drives to reconstruct

data on the replaced drive. Drive reconstruction is active when the drive Online/Activity status LED is flashing green.
