Registering the server..........................41 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.
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.
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.
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.
Installing hardware options Install any hardware options before initializing the server. For options installation information, refer to the option documentation. For server-specific information, refer to "Hardware options installation (on page 42)." Installing the server into the rack WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment: Observe local occupation health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual handling.

If you chose not to install the cable management arm, install the power cord anchor to the server. NOTE: Peripheral device cables are removed for clarity. NOTE: If using the power cord anchor, be sure to leave enough slack in the power cord so that the redundant power supply can be removed without disconnecting the power cord from the primary power supply.
Press the F9 key when prompted during the boot process to change the server settings using RBSU. 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.

Install the DIMM. Install the access panel ("Installing the access panel" on page 29). Hot-plug SCSI hard drive options When adding SCSI hard drives to the server, observe the following general guidelines: A maximum of 14 SCSI devices per channel can be added. Each SCSI drive must have a unique ID.
The SCSI IDs for both simplex and duplex configurations are illustrated. Always populate hard drive bays starting with the lowest SCSI ID. Removing a SCSI hard drive blank CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the server unless all bays are populated with either a component or a blank.
Install the hard drive. Determine the status of the hard drive from the hot-plug hard drive LEDs ("Hot-plug SCSI hard drive LEDs" on page 19). Resume normal server operations. Removing a hot-plug SCSI hard drive CAUTION: Always power down the server if the boot partition resides on the drive you are replacing or if you are replacing the only drive in the server.
Hot-plug SAS hard drive options When adding hard drives to the server, observe the following general guidelines: The system automatically sets all device numbers. If only one hard drive is used, install it in the bay with the lowest device number. Hard drives must be SFF types.
Prepare the SAS hard drive. Install the hard drive. Determine the status of the hard drive from the hot-plug SAS hard drive LED combinations (on page 21). Removing a hot-plug SAS hard drive CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the server unless all bays are populated with either a component or a blank.
Remove the hard drive. Installing a diskette drive NOTE: This procedure shows images of the SCSI model server, but it also applies to the SAS model server. Power down the server (on page 27). Extend the server from the rack, if applicable ("Extend the server from the rack"...
Secure the diskette drive cable to the diskette drive cable connector on the SCSI backplane board or SAS backplane board. Install the access panel ("Installing the access panel" on page 29). Power up the server (on page 27). Hot-plug tape drive option NOTE: This feature applies only to SCSI models.
Install the tape drive. Redundant hot-plug fans NOTE: This procedure shows images of the SCSI model server, but it also applies to the SAS model server. In the standard configuration, five fans cool the server. For the redundant configuration, three additional fans are added to allow the server to continue operation in non-redundant mode if any one fan fails.
With the health driver loaded and thermal shutdown disabled in RBSU, the server performs an immediate shutdown if it detects a critical temperature level. Without the health driver loaded, the server performs an immediate shutdown if it detects a critical temperature level. IMPORTANT: An immediate shutdown is a hardware-controlled function and it overrides any firmware or software actions.

CAUTION: After the server is powered down, wait 15 seconds and then check the amber LED before unplugging the cable from the cache module. If the amber LED blinks after 15 seconds, do not remove the cable from the cache module. The cache module is backing up data, and data is lost if the cable is detached.
Install the battery pack assembly into the server. Install the PCI riser cage ("Installing the PCI riser cage" on page 31). Install the front fan bracket ("Front fan bracket" on page 32). Install the access panel ("Installing the access panel" on page 29). Power up the server (on page 27).

SAS hard drive cabling The HP ProLiant DL385 Server SAS model uses a serial attached SCSI bus to connect SAS hard drives on a SAS backplane to a PCI SAS controller. In a SAS environment, each hard drive has a direct connection to the SAS controller.
NOTE: If storage devices are connected to both the internal (1I) and external (1E) SAS connectors, the SAS controller recognizes only the devices connected to the internal connector. To attach devices to the external connector, disconnect the internal connector. Refer to the documentation that documentation that ships with the controller.

This automated server configuration process cuts time from each server deployed, making it possible to scale server deployments to high volumes in a rapid manner. For more information, and to download the SmartStart Scripting Toolkit, refer to the HP website (http://www.hp.com/servers/sstoolkit).
Selecting the primary boot controller Configuring memory options Language selection For more information on RBSU, refer to the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide on the Documentation CD or the HP website (http://www.hp.com/servers/smartstart). Using RBSU The first time you power up the server, the system prompts you to enter RBSU and select a language.
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, refer to the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide on the Documentation CD or the HP website (http://www.hp.com/servers/smartstart).
It enables you to perform imaging or scripting functions and maintain software images. For more information about the RDP, refer to the HP ProLiant Essentials Rapid Deployment Pack CD or refer to the HP website (http://www.hp.com/servers/rdp).
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.
Management Agents Management Agents provide the information to enable fault, performance, and configuration management. The agents allow easy manageability of the server through HP SIM software, and third- party SNMP management platforms. Management Agents are installed with every SmartStart assisted installation or can be installed through the HP PSP.
IMPORTANT: You must install and use HP SIM to benefit from the Pre-Failure Warranty for processors, SAS and SCSI hard drives, and memory modules. For additional information, refer to the Management CD in the HP ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack or the HP SIM website (http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim).
