Setup Optional installation services Delivered by experienced, certified engineers, HP Care Pack services help you keep your servers up and running with support packages tailored specifically for HP ProLiant systems. HP Care Packs let you integrate both hardware and software support into a single package. A number of service level options are available to meet your needs.
Installing hardware options Install any hardware options before initializing the node. For options installation information, see the option documentation. For node-specific information, see "Hardware options installation (on page 32)." Installing a node into the chassis • 1U node • 2U node Powering on and selecting boot options 1. Connect the Ethernet cable between the network connector on the node and a network jack. 2. Press the Power On/Standby button.
3. During the initial boot: o To modify the server configuration ROM default settings, press F9 when prompted from the start up sequence to enter the RBSU. By default, RBSU runs in the English language. o If you do not need to modify the server configuration and are ready to install the system software, press F10 to access Intelligent Provisioning.
Hardware options installation Introduction If more than one option is being installed, read the installation instructions for all the hardware options and identify similar steps to streamline the installation process. 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: To prevent damage to electrical components, properly ground the server before beginning any installation procedure.

Memory options DIMM identification To determine DIMM characteristics, use the label attached to the DIMM and the following illustration and table. Item Description Definition 1 Size — 2 Rank 1R = Single-rank 2R = Dual-rank 4R = Quad-rank 3 Data width x4 = 4-bit x8 = 8-bit 4 Voltage rating L = Low voltage (1.35v) U = Ultra low voltage (1.
• 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. Dual-rank DIMMs provide the greatest capacity with the existing memory technology.
Advanced ECC memory configuration Advanced ECC memory is the default memory protection mode for this node. Standard ECC can correct single-bit memory errors and detect multi-bit memory errors. When multi-bit errors are detected using Standard ECC, the error is signaled to the node and causes the node to halt. Advanced ECC protects the node against some multi-bit memory errors.
• When one processor is installed, install DIMMs in sequential alphabetic order: A, B, C, D, E, F, and so forth. • When two processors are installed, install the DIMMs in sequential alphabetic order balanced between the two processors: P1-A, P2-A, P1-B, P2-B, P1-C, P2-C, and so forth. • For DIMM spare replacement, install the DIMMs per slot number as instructed by the system software.
o First: A and B o Last: D and E o Do not populate slots C, F, G, H, or I. After installing the DIMMs, use RBSU to configure the system for Mirrored Memory support. Multi-processor Mirrored Memory population order For Mirrored Memory mode configurations with multiple processors, populate the DIMM slots for each processor in the following order: • • RDIMM o First: A and B o Next: D and E o Last: G and H o Do not populate slots C, F, or I.

Cabling Cabling overview This section provides guidelines that help you make informed decisions about cabling the server and hardware options to optimize performance. For information on cabling peripheral components, refer to the white paper on high-density deployment at the HP website (http://www.hp.com/products/servers/platforms). CAUTION: When routing cables, always be sure that the cables are not in a position where they can be pinched or crimped.

Software and configuration utilities Server mode The software and configuration utilities presented in this section operate in online mode, offline mode, or in both modes.
iLO enables and manages the Active Health System (on page 71) and also features Agentless Management. All key internal subsystems are monitored by iLO. SNMP alerts are sent directly by iLO regardless of the host operating system or even if no host operating system is installed. HP Insight Remote Support software (on page 74) is also available in HP iLO with no operating system software, drivers, or agents.
The data that is collected is managed according to the HP Data Privacy policy. For more information see the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/privacy). The Active Health System log, in conjunction with the system monitoring provided by Agentless Management or SNMP Pass-thru, provides continuous monitoring of hardware and configuration changes, system status, and service alerts for various server components. The Agentless Management Service is available in the SPP, which is a disk image (.
see the Resources tab on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/ilo). For consolidated drive and firmware update packages, see the HP Systems and Server Software Management page on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/SmartUpdate).
HP Insight Remote Support software HP strongly recommends that you register your device for remote support to enable enhanced delivery of your HP Warranty, HP Care Pack Service, or HP contractual support agreement.
SPP can be used in an online mode on a Windows or Linux hosted operating system, or in an offline mode where the server is booted to an operating system included on the ISO file so that the server can be updated automatically with no user interaction or updated in interactive mode. For more information or to download SPP, see one of the following pages on the HP website: • HP Service Pack for ProLiant download page (http://www.hp.com/go/spp) • HP Systems and Server Software Management page (http://www.
IMPORTANT: RBSU automatically saves settings when you press the Enter key. The utility does not prompt you for confirmation of settings before you exit the utility. To change a selected setting, you must select a different setting and press the Enter key.
6. Enter the serial number and press the Enter key. 7. Select Product ID. The following warning appears: Warning: The Product ID should ONLY be modified by qualified service personnel. This value should always match the Product ID located on the chassis. 8. Enter the product ID and press the Enter key. 9. Press the Esc key to close the menu. 10. Press the Esc key to exit RBSU. 11. Press the F10 key to confirm exiting RBSU. The node automatically reboots.
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 HP 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.
If you do not use Intelligent Provisioning to install an OS, then drivers for some of the new hardware are required. These drivers, as well as other option drivers, ROM images, and systems software can be downloaded as part of an SPP. If you are installing drivers from SPP, be sure that you are using the latest SPP version that your node supports. To verify that your node is using the latest supported version and for more information about SPP, see the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/spp/download).
