For a single-processor configuration, four fans and two blanks are required in specific fan bays for redundancy. A fan failure or missing fan causes a loss of redundancy. A second fan failure or missing fan causes an orderly shutdown of the server. Installing more than the required number of fans in a single-processor configuration is not a supported configuration.
Operations Power up the server To power up the server, press the Power On/Standby button. Power down the server Before powering down the server for any upgrade or maintenance procedures, perform a backup of critical server data and programs. IMPORTANT: When the server is in standby mode, auxiliary power is still being provided to the system.
After performing the installation or maintenance procedure, slide the server back into the rack, and then press the server firmly into the rack to secure it in place. WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, be careful when pressing the server rail-release latches and sliding the server into the rack.
Remove the access panel 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: For proper cooling do not operate the server without the access panel, baffles, expansion slot covers, or blanks installed.

The memory subsystem in this server can support LRDIMMs or RDIMMs: • RDIMMs offer lower latency in one DIMM per channel configurations and (relatively) low power consumption. They include address parity protection. • LRDIMMs support higher densities than single- and dual-rank RDIMMs, and higher speeds than quad-rank RDIMMs.
Memory subsystem architecture The memory subsystem in this server is divided into channels. Each processor supports four channels, and each channel supports three DIMM slots, as illustrated. This multi-channel architecture provides enhanced performance in Advanced ECC mode. This architecture also enables Online Spare Memory modes. DIMM slots in this server are identified by number and by letter: •...
appear as a dual-rank DIMM to the system. The LRDIMM buffer also isolates the electrical loading of the DRAM from the system to allow for faster operation. These two changes allow the system to support up to three LRDIMMs per memory channel, providing for up to 50% greater memory capacity and higher memory operating speed compared to quad-rank RDIMMs.
• Advanced ECC—provides up to 4-bit error correction. This mode is the default option for this server. • Online spare memory—provides protection against failing or degraded DIMMs. Certain memory is reserved as spare, and automatic failover to spare memory occurs when the system detects a DIMM that is degrading.
• Do not mix LRDIMMs or RDIMMs. • When two processors are installed, install the DIMMs in sequential alphabetical order balanced between the two processors: P1-A, P2-A, P1-B, P2-B, P1-C, P2-C, and so on. For detailed memory configuration rules and guidelines, use the Online DDR3 Memory Configuration Tool on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/ddr3memory-configurator).
Install the DIMM. Install the access panel (on page 25). Install the server into the rack ("Installing the server into the rack" on page 40). Connect each power cord to the server. Connect each power cord to the power source. Power up the server (on page 23).
Remove the drive blank. Prepare the drive. Install the drive. Determine the status of the drive from the drive LED definitions (on page 19). Removing a hot-plug SAS or SATA hard drive CAUTION: For proper cooling do not operate the server without the access panel, baffles, expansion slot covers, or blanks installed.
Remove the drive. Controller options The server ships with an embedded Smart Array P420i controller. For more information about the controller and its features, see the HP Smart Array Controllers for HP ProLiant Servers User Guide on the HP website (http://bizsupport2.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c01608507/c01608507.pdf).
NOTE: The data protection and the time limit also apply if a power outage occurs. When power is restored to the system, an initialization process writes the preserved data to the hard drives. Installing the flash-backed write cache module CAUTION: The cache module connector does not use the industry-standard DDR3 mini-DIMM pinout.
