Customer self repair

HP 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 HP (or HP service providers or service partners) identifies that the repair can be accomplished by the use of a CSR part, HP 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, however, you require that HP replace them for you, there may or may not be additional charges, depending on the type of warranty service designated for your product.
  • No—Some HP parts are not designed for customer self repair. In order to satisfy the customer warranty, HP 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 HP Technical Support Center and a technician will help you over the telephone. HP specifies in the materials shipped with a replacement CSR part whether a defective part must be returned to HP. In cases where it is required to return the defective part to HP, you must ship the defective part back to HP 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 HP billing you for the replacement. With a customer self repair, HP will pay all shipping and part return costs and determine the courier/carrier to be used.

For more information about HP's Customer Self Repair program, contact your local service provider. For the North American program, refer to the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/selfrepair).

Parts only warranty service

Your HP Limited Warranty may include a parts only warranty service. Under the terms of parts only warranty service, HP will provide replacement parts free of charge.

For parts only warranty service, CSR part replacement is mandatory. If you request HP to replace these parts, you will be charged for the travel and labor costs of this service.

Removal and replacement procedures

This chapter provides subassembly/module-level removal and replacement procedures for the HP ProLiant DL180 G6 server.

Review the specifications of a new component before installing it to make sure it is compatible with the server. When you integrate new components into the system, record its model and serial number, and any other pertinent information for future reference. After completing any removal or replacement procedure, run the diagnostics program to verify that all components operate properly.

NOTE: The figures used in this chapter to illustrate procedural steps are labeled numerically (i.e., 1, 2...). When these figures are used in substep items, the alphabetically labeled instructions correspond to the numbered labels on the related figure (i.e., label 1 corresponds to step a, label 2 corresponds to step b, etc.). The procedures described in this section assume that the server is out of the rack and is positioned on a flat, stable surface.

Hardware configuration tools

You will need the following tools:

• T-10/T-15 wrench

The following references and software tools will assist with the hardware configuration:

• HP ProLiant DL180 G6 Server Easy set-up CD
- IPMI Event Log
• Diagnostics Utility Software

Hardware configuration information

Electrostatic discharge information

An electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage static-sensitive devices or micro circuitry. Proper packaging and grounding techniques are necessary precautions to prevent damage. To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:

  • 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.
  • Make sure that you are always properly grounded (earthed) when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.
  • Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.

Cable management

Always follow good cable management practices when working inside the computer.

  • Keep cables away from major heat sources like the heat sink.
  • Do not jam cables on top of expansion cards or memory modules. Printed circuit cards are not designed to withstand excessive pressure.

- Keep cables clear of sliding or moveable parts to prevent cutting or crimping.

- When folding a flat ribbon cable, never fold to a sharp crease. Sharp creases may damage the wires.

• Some flat ribbon cables come pre-folded. Never change the folds on these cables.

- Do not sharply bend any cable. A sharp bend can break the internal wires.

- Never bend a SATA data cable tighter than a 30 mm (1.18 in.) radius.

- Never crease a SATA data cable.

- Do not rely on components like the drive cage, power supply, or system cover to push cables down into the chassis.

The next steps illustrate the removal of power cable from connector J60, 51, and 64 on system board.

  1. Squeeze on the top of the retaining latch attached to the cable end of the connector.

  2. Grasp the cable end of the connector and pull it straight up.

Diagnostic tools and setup utilities

This chapter provides an overview of the Power-On Self-Test (POST), the POST error messages, and BIOS, SAS and SATA setup utilities.

BIOS software

The server uses BIOS to boot up the system. BIOS software is a ROM-based firmware that allows reliability, manageability, and connectivity for the server platforms. This software contains a set of programs permanently stored in an EEPROM chipset located on the system board. These programs assist in managing, initializing, and testing the hardware devices installed on the computer.

BIOS software allows you to:

- Perform configuration from the BIOS Setup Utility

Using the Setup Utility, you can install, configure, and optimize the hardware devices on the system board. In addition, you can set various features such as serial console redirection, PXE boot, and much more.

- Initialize hardware at boot up using POST routines

During power-on or warm reset, the BIOS perform POST routines to test system components, allocate resource for various hardware devices, and prepare the system to boot to various operating systems.

BIOS Setup Utility

The HP server BIOS Setup Utility is used to configure five primary menu selections:

  • Main
  • Advanced
  • Boot
  • Security
  • Exit

Accessing the BIOS Setup Utility

  1. Turn on the monitor and server.

If the server is already turned on, save your data and exit from all open applications, and then restart the server.

  1. When the HP logo is displayed during POST, press F10 into BIOS Setup Utility. If you fail to press F10 before POST is completed, you will need to restart the server.
  2. The first page displayed is the Main menu showing the Setup Utility menu bar. Use the left ( ) and right ( ) arrow keys to change the options for each setting. Use the up ( ) and down ( ) arrow keys to move among the different settings in each menu.

Use the keys listed in the legend bar on the right of the Setup screen to navigate through the various menu and submenu screens of the Setup Utility. Table 27 lists these legend keys and their respective functions.

  • Discard Changes and Exit—Exit the BIOS Setup Utility without saving the changes you have made.
  • Discard Changes—Discard (cancel) any changes you have made. F10 can be used for this operation. You will remain in the Setup Utility.
  • Restore Default Settings—Restore the default settings for all items in the BIOS Setup.

BIOS update

HP recommends that you update the server BIOS with the latest system BIOS version to take advantage of the most recent compatibility fixes. The latest BIOS version for your server can be downloaded from http://www.hp.com.

Clear CMOS

You may need to clear the Setup configuration values (CMOS) if the configuration has been corrupted, or if incorrect settings made in the Setup Utility have caused error messages to be unreadable.

To clear CMOS:

  1. Perform the Pre-installation procedure.
  2. If necessary, remove any accessory boards or cables that prevent access to the system configuration switch.
  3. Locate the system maintenance jumper (J27-A) on the system board.
  4. Press the button. AC power must not be connected.
  5. Perform the Post-installation instructions.
  6. During POST, press F10 to access the Setup Utility.
  7. Load setup defaults by pressing F9.
  8. Set time, date, and other system values.
  9. Press F10 to close the Setup Utility.

NOTE: Clearing CMOS restore all system configurations and password default settings.

Power-On Self-Test (POST)

Before you can use a server, all devices must be tested and initialized, and the operating system must be bootstrapped to the memory. This is referred to as Power-On Self-Test or POST. POST is a series of diagnostic tests that checks firmware and hardware components on the system to ensure that the server is properly functioning. This diagnostic function automatically runs each time the server is powered on.

These diagnostics, which reside in the BIOS ROM, isolate the server-related logic failures and indicate the board or component that you need to replace, as indicated by the error messages. Most server hardware failures will be accurately isolated during POST. The number of tests displayed depends on the configuration of the server.

During POST you can:

  • Press ESC to skip the HP logo and go to POST boot progress display system summary screen.
  • Press F10 to access the Setup Utility.
  • Press F12 to request a network boot (PXE).
  • Press F1 to continue POST after POST errors are detected.

POST error indicators

When POST detects a system failure, it displays a POST error message.

POST error descriptions

When a non-fatal error occurs during POST, the screen will display an error message with the format "xxx-Error Identifier String" where "xxx" is a unique number code that matches ODM system specific error documentation and may be a hexadecimal or decimal value.

All Error messages describe the problems as shown below:

POST related troubleshooting

Perform the following procedures when POST fails to run, displays error messages.

If the POST failure is during a routine boot up, check the following:

  • All external cables and power cables should be firmly plugged in.
  • The power outlet to the server should be connected and works correctly.
  • The server and monitor are both turned on. The bicolour status LED indicator on the front panel must be lit up green.
    • The monitor's contrast and brightness settings are correct.
  • All internal cables are properly connected and all boards firmly seated.
    • The processor is fully seated in its socket on the system board.
  • The heat sink assembly is properly installed on top of the processor.
    • All memory modules are properly installed.
  • If you have installed a PCI accessory board, verify that the board is firmly seated and any jumpers on the board are properly set. Refer to the documentation provided with the accessory board.
  • All internal cabling and connections are in their proper order.
  • If you have changed the jumpers on the system board, verify that each is properly set.

SETSYS utility

SETSYS.EXE (DOS application) is the correct tool for setting the Serial Number/Asset Tag text on this server after a system board replacement has occurred.

Once the Serial Number/Asset Tag text has been entered via SETSYS, populating the SMBIOS data, the system BIOS will automatically write this info into the BMC IPMI FRU data on the next boot up.
