NMI functionality

An NMI crash dump enables administrators to create crash dump files when a system is hung and not responding to traditional debug mechanisms.

Crash dump log analysis is an essential part of diagnosing reliability problems, such as hangs in operating systems, device drivers, and applications. Many crashes freeze a system, and the only available action for administrators is to cycle the system power. Resetting the system erases any information that could support problem analysis, but the NMI feature preserves that information by performing a memory dump before a hard reset.

To force the OS to invoke the NMI handler and generate a crash dump log, the administrator can do any of the following:

• Short the NMI jumper pins
- Press the NMI switch
• Use the iLO Virtual NMI feature

For additional information, see the whitepaper on the HP website

(http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00797875/c00797875.pdf).

Rack planning resources

The rack resource kit ships with all HP branded or Compaq branded 9000, 10000, and H9 series racks. For more information on the content of each resource, refer to the rack resource kit documentation.

If you intend to deploy and configure multiple servers in a single rack, refer to the white paper on high-density deployment at the HP website (http://www.hp.com/products/servers/platforms).

Optimum environment

When installing the server in a rack, select a location that meets the environmental standards described in this section.

Space and airflow requirements

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 in) in front of the rack.
• Leave a minimum clearance of 76.2 cm (30 in) behind the rack.
• Leave a minimum clearance of 121.9 cm (48 in) from the back of the rack to the back of another rack or row of racks.

HP servers draw in cool air through the front door and expel warm air through the rear door. 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.

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 cause changes in airflow through the rack and across the servers. Cover all gaps with blanking panels to maintain proper airflow.

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 percent open area for ventilation.

CAUTION: When using a Compaq branded 7000 Series rack, you must install the high airflow rack door insert [P/N 327281-B21 (42U) or P/N 157847-B21 (22U)] 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 (UPS). This device protects the hardware from damage caused by power surges and voltage spikes and keeps the system in operation during a power failure.

When installing more than one server, you may 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 percent 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.

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, HP 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. Using common power outlet strips for the server is not recommended.

Rack warnings

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure that:

• The leveling jacks are extended to the floor.
- The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks.
- The stabilizing feet are attached to the rack if it is a single-rack installation.
- The racks are coupled together in multiple-rack installations.
- Only one component is extended at a time. A rack may become unstable if more than one component is extended for any reason.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage when unloading a rack:

- At least two people are needed to safely unload the rack from the pallet. An empty 42U rack can weigh as much as 115 kg (253 lb), can stand more than 2.1 m (7 ft) tall, and may become unstable when being moved on its casters.

- Never stand in front of the rack when it is rolling down the ramp from the pallet. Always handle the rack from both sides.

IMPORTANT: The F8 key is available only when a supported storage controller is installed in the server.

To power up the server, press the Power On/Standby button.

While the server boots, RBSU and the ORCA utility are automatically configured to prepare the server for OS installation.

• Press the F8 key when prompted during the array controller initialization to configure the array controller using ORCA. The array controller defaults to RAID 0 with one drive installed and RAID 1 with more than one drive installed.
• Press the F9 key, when prompted during the boot process, to access RBSU and change the server settings (such as language and operating system). The system is set up by default for the English language.

For more information on the automatic configuration, refer to the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide located on the Documentation CD.

Registering the server

To register the server, refer to the HP Registration website (http://register.hp.com).

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. Improper grounding can cause electrostatic discharge.

Memory options

IMPORTANT: This server does not support mixing RDIMMs and UDIMMs. Attempting to mix these two types causes the server to halt during BIOS initialization.

The memory subsystem in this server can support RDIMMs or UDIMMs. Both types are referred to as DIMMs when the information applies to both types. When specified as RDIMM or UDIMM, the information applies to that type only. All memory installed in the server must be the same type.

The server supports the following DIMM speeds:

• Single- and dual-rank PC3-10600 (DDR-1333) DIMMs operating at 1333 and 1066 MHz
• Quad-rank PC3-8500 (DDR-1067) DIMMs operating at 1066 MHz

Depending on the processor model, the number of DIMMs installed, and whether UDIMMs or RDIMMs are installed, the memory clock speed may be reduced to 1066 or 800 MHz. For more information on the effect of DIMM slot population, see "General DIMM slot population guidelines (on page 29)."

Memory subsystem architecture

The memory subsystem in this server is divided into channels. Each processor supports three channels, and each channel supports three DIMM slots, as shown in the following table.

Channel Slot Slot number
1 G		1
	D	2
	A	3
2 H		4
	E	5
	B	6
3 I		7
	F	8
	C	9

This multi-channel architecture provides enhanced performance in Advanced ECC mode. This architecture also enables the Mirrored Memory and Lockstep memory modes. This server supports both Registered PC3 DIMMSs (RDIMMs) and Unbuffered DIMMs (UDIMMs).

DIMM slots in this server are identified by number and by letter. Letters identify the slots to populate for specific AMP modes. Slot numbers are reported by ROM messages during boot and for error reporting.

Single-, dual-, and quad-rank DIMMs

To understand and configure memory protection modes properly, an understanding of single-, dual-, and quad-rank DIMMs is helpful. Some DIMM configuration requirements are based on these classifications.

A single-rank DIMM has one set of memory chips that is accessed while writing to or reading from the memory. A dual-rank DIMM is similar to having two single-rank DIMMs on the same module, with only one rank accessible at a time. A quad-rank DIMM is, effectively, two dual-rank DIMMs on the same module. Only one rank is 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- and quad-rank DIMMs provide the greatest capacity with the existing memory technology. For example, if current DRAM technology supports 2-GB single-rank DIMMs, a dual-rank DIMM would be 4-GB, and a quad-rank DIMM would be 8-GB.

DIMM identification

IMPORTANT: This server does not support mixing RDIMMs and UDIMMs. Attempting to mix these two types causes the server to halt during BIOS initialization.

The memory subsystem may be populated with either RDIMMs or UDIMMs, but mixing the two types is not supported. 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-rank2R = Dual-rank4R = Quad-rank
3 Data width		x4 = 4-bitx8 = 8-bit
4 Memory speed		10600 = 1333-MHz8500 = 1067-MHz
5 DIMM type		R = RDIMM (registered)E = UDIMM (unbuffered with ECC)

For the latest supported memory information, see the QuickSpecs on the HP website (http://www.hp.com).

Memory configurations

To optimize server availability, the server supports the following AMP modes:

• Advanced ECC—provides the greatest memory capacity for a given DIMM size, while providing up to 4-bit error correction. This mode is the default option for this server.
• Mirrored Memory—provides maximum protection against failed DIMMs. Uncorrectable errors in one channel are corrected by the mirror channel.
• Lockstep—provides enhanced protection while making all installed memory available to the operating system. The server can continue to function if a single- or multit-bit memory failure within a single DRAM device occurs.

Advanced Memory Protection options are configured in RBSU. If the requested AMP mode is not supported by the installed DIMM configuration, the server boots in Advanced ECC mode. For more information, see "HP ROM-Based Setup Utility (on page 53)."

For the latest memory configuration information, see the QuickSpecs on the HP website (http://www.hp.com).

RDIMM maximum memory configurations

The following table lists the maximum memory configuration possible with 8-GB RDIMMs.

Rank Processor
Single-rank 72 GB
Dual-rank 72 GB
Quad-rank 48 GB

UDIMM maximum memory configurations

The server supports a maximum of 24 GB using 4-GB dual-rank UDIMMs.

Advanced ECC memory configuration

Advanced ECC memory is the default memory protection mode for this server. 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 server and causes the server to halt.

Advanced ECC protects the server against some multi-bit memory errors. Advanced ECC can correct both single-bit memory errors and 4-bit memory errors if all failed bits are on the same DRAM device on the DIMM.

Advanced ECC provides additional protection over Standard ECC because it is possible to correct certain memory errors that would otherwise be uncorrected and result in a server failure. The server provides notification that correctable error events have exceeded a pre-defined threshold rate.

Lockstep memory configuration

Lockstep mode provides protection against multi-bit memory errors that occur on the same DRAM device. Lockstep mode can correct any single DRAM device failure on x4 and x8 DIMM types. The DIMMs in each channel must have identical HP part numbers.

Lockstep mode uses channel 1 and channel 2. Channel 3 is not populated. Because channel 3 cannot be populated when using Lockstep mode, the maximum memory capacity is lower than Advanced ECC mode. Memory performance with Advanced ECC is also slightly higher.

General DIMM slot population guidelines

Observe the following guidelines for all AMP modes:

• Populate DIMM slots for a processor only if the processor is installed.
• To maximize performance in multi-processor configurations, distribute the total memory capacity between all processors as evenly as possible.
  • Do not mix Unbuffered and Registered PC3 DIMMs.

• Each channel supports up to two Unbuffered DIMMs.
- If quad-rank DIMMs are installed for a processor, a maximum of two DIMMs can be installed on each channel for that processor.
- If a channel contains quad-rank DIMMs, the quad-rank DIMM must be installed first on that channel.

DIMM speeds are supported as indicated in the following table.

Populated slots (per channel)	Rank	Speeds supported (MHz)
1	Single- or dual-rank	1333, 1066
1 Quad-rank 1066
2	Single- or dual-rank	1066
3	Single- or dual-rank	800

Advanced ECC population guidelines

For Advanced ECC mode configurations, observe the following guidelines:

• Observe the general DIMM slot population guidelines (on page 29).
  • DIMMs may be installed individually.

Single-processor Advanced ECC population order

For Advanced ECC mode configurations with a single processor, populate the DIMM slots in the following order:

RDIMM: Sequentially in alphabetical order (A through I)
• UDIMM: A through F, sequentially in alphabetical order. Do not populate DIMM slots G through I.

Lockstep Memory population guidelines

For Lockstep memory mode configurations, observe the following guidelines:

• Observe the general DIMM slot population guidelines (on page 29).
  • Always install DIMMs in channels 1 and 2 for each installed processor.
• Do not install DIMMs in channel 3 for any processor.
  • DIMM configuration on channel 1 and channel 2 of a processor must be identical.
  • In multi-processor configurations, each processor must have a valid Lockstep Memory configuration.
• In multi-processor configurations, each processor may have a different valid Lockstep Memory configuration.

Single-processor Lockstep population order

For Lockstep memory mode configurations with a single processor, populate the DIMM slots in the following order:

RDIMM
- First: A and B
- Next: D and E

• Last: G and H
  Do not populate slots C, F, or I.

• UDIMM

• First: A and B
• Last: D and E

Do not populate slots C, F, G, H, or I.

After installing the DIMMs, use RBSU to configure the system for Lockstep memory support ("Configuring lockstep memory" on page 55).

1. Installing the Trusted Platform Module board.
2. Retaining the recovery key/password (on page 46).
3. Enabling the Trusted Platform Module (on page 47).

Enabling the TPM requires accessing the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) ("HP ROM-Based Setup Utility" on page 53). For more information about RBSU, see the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support/smartstart/documentation).

TPM installation requires the use of drive encryption technology, such as the Microsoft® Windows® BitLocker™ Drive Encryption feature. For more information on BitLocker™, see the Microsoft website (http://www.microsoft.com).

CAUTION: Always observe the guidelines in this document. Failure to follow these guidelines can cause hardware damage or halt data access.

When installing or replacing a TPM, observe the following guidelines:

• Do not remove an installed TPM. Once installed, the TPM becomes a permanent part of the system board.
• When installing or replacing hardware, HP service providers cannot enable the TPM or the encryption technology. For security reasons, only the customer can enable these features.
• When returning a system board for service replacement, do not remove the TPM from the system board. When requested, HP Service provides a TPM with the spare system board.
• Any attempt to remove an installed TPM from the system board breaks or disfigures the TPM security rivet. Upon locating a broken or disfigured rivet on an installed TPM, administrators should consider the system compromised and take appropriate measures to ensure the integrity of the system data.
• When using BitLocker™, always retain the recovery key/password. The recovery key/password is required to enter Recovery Mode after BitLocker™ detects a possible compromise of system integrity.
• HP is not liable for blocked data access caused by improper TPM use. For operating instructions, see the encryption technology feature documentation provided by the operating system.

Installing the Trusted Platform Module board

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.

Configuration and utilities

Configuration tools

SmartStart software

SmartStart is a collection of software that optimizes single-server setup, providing a simple and consistent way to deploy server configuration. SmartStart has been tested on many ProLiant server products, resulting in proven, reliable configurations.

SmartStart assists the deployment process by performing a wide range of configuration activities, including:

• Preparing the system for installing "off-the-shelf" versions of leading operating system software
• Installing optimized server drivers, management agents, and utilities automatically with every assisted installation
- Testing server hardware using the Insight Diagnostics Utility ("HP Insight Diagnostics" on page 59)
• Installing software drivers directly from the CD. With systems that have Internet connection, the SmartStart Autorun Menu provides access to a complete list of Proliant system software.
• Enabling access to the Array Configuration Utility (on page 55) and Erase Utility (on page 57)

SmartStart is included in the HP Insight Foundation suite for ProLiant. For more information about SmartStart software, see the HP Insight Foundation suite for ProLiant or the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/foundation).

SmartStart Scripting Toolkit

The SmartStart Scripting Toolkit is a server deployment product that delivers an unattended automated installation for high-volume server deployments. The SmartStart Scripting Toolkit is designed to support ProLiant BL, ML, DL, and 100 series servers. The toolkit includes a modular set of utilities and important documentation that describes how to apply these new tools to build an automated server deployment process.

Using SmartStart technology, the Scripting Toolkit provides a flexible way to create standard server configuration scripts. These scripts are used to automate many of the manual steps in the server configuration process. This automated server configuration process cuts time from each deployment, making it possible to scale server deployments to high volumes in a rapid manner.

For more information, and to download the SmartStart Scripting Toolkit, see the HP website (http://www.hp.com/servers/sstoolkit).

Configuration Replication Utility

CONREP is shipped in the SmartStart Scripting Toolkit and is a program that works with RBSU to replicate hardware configuration on ProLiant servers. This utility is run during State 0, Run Hardware Configuration Utility, when doing a scripted server deployment. CONREP reads the state of the system environment

variables to determine the configuration and then writes the results to an editable script file. This file can then be deployed across multiple servers with similar hardware and software components. For more information, refer to the SmartStart Scripting Toolkit User Guide on the HP website (http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/toolkit/documentation.html).

HP ROM-Based Setup Utility

RBSU is a configuration utility embedded in ProLiant servers that performs a wide range of configuration activities that can include the following:

• Enabling and disabling system features
• Displaying system information
• Selecting the primary boot controller
- Configuring memory options
• Language selection

- Configuring system devices and installed options

For more information on RBSU, see the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide on the Documentation CD or the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support/smartstart/documentation).

Using RBSU

To use RBSU, use the following keys:

• To access RBSU, press the F9 key during power-up when prompted.
• To navigate the menu system, use the arrow keys.
• To make selections, press the Enter key.
• To access Help for a highlighted configuration option, press the F1 key.

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.

Default configuration settings are applied to the server at one of the following times:

• Upon the first system power-up
• After defaults have been restored

Default configuration settings are sufficient for proper typical server operation, but configuration settings can be modified using RBSU. The system will prompt you for access to RBSU with each power-up.

Auto-configuration process

The auto-configuration process automatically runs when you boot the server for the first time. During the power-up sequence, the system ROM automatically configures the entire system without needing any intervention. During this process, the ORCA utility, in most cases, automatically configures the array to a default setting based on the number of drives connected to the server.

NOTE: The server may not support all the following examples.

NOTE: If the boot drive is not empty or has been written to in the past, ORCA does not automatically configure the array. You must run ORCA to configure the array settings.

Drives installed	Drives used	RAID level
1 1 RAID 0
2 2 RAID 1
3, 4, 5, or 6	3, 4, 5, or 6	RAID 5
More than 6 0 None

To change any ORCA default settings and override the auto-configuration process, press the F8 key when prompted.

By default, the auto-configuration process configures the system for the English language. To change any default settings in the auto-configuration process (such as the settings for language, operating system, and primary boot controller), execute RBSU by pressing the F9 key when prompted. After the settings are selected, exit RBSU and allow the server to reboot automatically.

For more information on RBSU, see the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide on the Documentation CD or the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support/smartstart/documentation).

Boot options

Near the end of the boot process, the boot options screen is displayed. This screen is visible for several seconds before the system attempts to boot from a supported boot device. During this time, you can do the following:

• Access RBSU by pressing the F9 key.
- Access the System Maintenance Menu (which enables you to launch ROM-based Diagnostics or Inspect) by pressing the F10 key.
• Force a PXE Network boot by pressing the F12 key.

BIOS Serial Console

BIOS Serial Console allows you to configure the serial port to view POST error messages and run RBSU remotely through a serial connection to the server COM port. The server that you are remotely configuring does not require a keyboard and mouse.

For more information about BIOS Serial Console, see the BIOS Serial Console User Guide on the Documentation CD or the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support/smartstart/documentation).

Management tools

Automatic Server Recovery

ASR is a feature that causes the system to restart when a catastrophic operating system error occurs, such as a blue screen, ABEND, or panic. A system fail-safe timer, the ASR timer, starts when the System Management driver, also known as the Health Driver, is loaded. When the 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 or shutdown. 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 HP SIM console or through RBSU.

ROMPaq utility

The ROMPaq utility enables you to upgrade the system firmware (BIOS). To upgrade the firmware, insert a ROMPaq diskette into the diskette drive or ROMPaq USB Key into an available USB port and boot the system. Online versions of the ROMPaq utility are also available for updating the system firmware.

The ROMPaq utility checks the system and provides a choice (if more than one exists) of available firmware revisions.

For more information about the ROMPaq utility, see the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/support).

Integrated Lights-Out 2 technology

The iLO 2 subsystem is a standard component of selected ProLiant servers that provides server health and remote server manageability. The iLO 2 subsystem includes an intelligent microprocessor, secure memory, and a dedicated network interface. This design makes iLO 2 independent of the host server and its operating system. The iLO 2 subsystem provides remote access to any authorized network client, sends alerts, and provides other server management functions.

Using iLO 2, you can:

• Remotely power up, power down, or reboot the host server.
• Send alerts from iLO 2 regardless of the state of the host server.
• Access advanced troubleshooting features through the iLO 2 interface.
• Diagnose iLO 2 using HP SIM through a web browser and SNMP alerting.

The Systems Management homepage provides status and direct access to in-depth subsystem information by accessing data reported through the Management Agents. For additional information, refer to the Management CD in the HP ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack or the HP website (http://www.hp.com/servers/manage).

Redundant ROM support

The server enables you to upgrade or configure the ROM safely with redundant ROM support. The server has a 8-MB ROM that acts as two, separate 4-MB ROMs. In the standard implementation, one side of the ROM contains the current ROM program version, while the other side of the ROM contains a backup version.

NOTE: The server ships with the same version programmed on each side of the ROM.

Safety and security benefits

When you flash the system ROM, ROMPaq writes over the backup ROM and saves the current ROM as a backup, enabling you to switch easily to the alternate ROM version if the new ROM becomes corrupted for any reason. This feature protects the existing ROM version, even if you experience a power failure while flashing the ROM.

USB support

HP provides both standard USB support and legacy USB support. Standard support is provided by the OS through the appropriate USB device drivers. Before the OS loads, HP provides support for USB devices through legacy USB support, which is enabled by default in the system ROM.

Legacy USB support provides USB functionality in environments where USB support is not available normally. Specifically, HP provides legacy USB functionality for the following:

POST
RBSU
• Diagnostics
• DOS
- Operating environments which do not provide native USB support

Internal USB functionality

An internal USB connector is available for use with USB drive keys only. This solution provides for use of a permanent boot drive from a USB drive key installed in the internal connector, avoiding issues of clearance on the front of the rack and physical access to secure data.

For additional security, you can disable the external USB connectors through RBSU. Disabling the rear USB connectors in RBSU disables both rear USB ports.

Internal SD support

An internal SD connector is available for use with embedded Hypervisors. This solution provides for use of a permanently installed SD card in the internal connector, decreasing the possibility of tampering or loss.

Federal Communications Commission notice

Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and Regulations has established Radio Frequency (RF) emission limits to provide an interference-free radio frequency spectrum. Many electronic devices, including computers, generate RF energy incidental to their intended function and are, therefore, covered by these rules. These rules place computers and related peripheral devices into two classes, A and B, depending upon their intended installation. Class A devices are those that may reasonably be expected to be installed in a business or commercial environment. Class B devices are those that may reasonably be expected to be installed in a residential environment (for example, personal computers). The FCC requires devices in both classes to bear a label indicating the interference potential of the device as well as additional operating instructions for the user.

FCC rating label

The FCC rating label on the device shows the classification (A or B) of the equipment. Class B devices have an FCC logo or ID on the label. Class A devices do not have an FCC logo or ID on the label. After you determine the class of the device, refer to the corresponding statement.

Power cord statement for Japan

To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when setting up the system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device.

To prevent electrostatic damage:

• Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.
• Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.
• Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.
• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
  • Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.

Grounding methods to prevent electrostatic discharge

Several methods are used for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when handling or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:

• Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer chassis. Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm ±10 percent resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.
• Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both feet when standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor mats.
  • Use conductive field service tools.
  • Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.

If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, have an authorized reseller install the part.

For more information on static electricity or assistance with product installation, contact an authorized reseller.

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 you request HP to replace these parts, you will be charged for the travel and labor costs of this service.

- Optional—Parts for which customer self repair is optional. These parts are also designed for customer self repair. 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.

NOTE: 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).
