Maintenance and Service Guide for Power-On Self-Test (POST) information. To view POST messages you will need a system console attached to the HP D2D. Please see the HP D2D Backup System User Guide for more information about connecting and using the system console.
Power cycle the HP D2D Backup System. The HP D2D will attempt to boot from the flash memory module. The flash memory module is at fault, if the reboot fails with the following message: “Cannot find any bootable media” or if the system fails to boot completely or if it attempts to PXE boot.

The memory module for the HP D2D4324/4312 model does not have a cable. Be sure to update the HP D2D software to the latest version. This is done from the Web Management Interface (Settings/Software page), as described in the HP StorageWorks D2D Backup System User Guide.
See the previous section, if you are replacing the memory model in a G2 product. Power off and remove the cover from the HP D2D, as described in the appropriate HP ProLiant Maintenance and Service guide, and locate the memory module (labeled 4 on the diagram).

Be sure to update the HP D2D software to the latest version. This is done from the Web Management Interface (Settings/Software page), as described in the HP StorageWorks D2D Backup System User Guide. IMPORTANT: If your replacement flash stick is at a lower revision than the one it replaces, you may experience a message of “Devices Starting”...
HP D2D4106/41 12 Backup System and the HP D2D2502/2504 Backup System is part number: 583724-001. All G1 HP D2D Backup Systems: The motherboard for all G1 products is the standard motherboard. Before replacing the motherboard— a note about licenses iLO2 licenses All G2 products are shipped with paper copies of the iLO2 licenses.
Very slow product performance (Running as RAID5 access to the disks, if the arrays had not failed themselves) Refusal to create the storage (if the storage arrays have failed and need to be rebuilt from scratch) The units are shipped with paper copies of the SAAP license. If you no longer have this license and the board is still working, make a note of the license before you replace the motherboard.
(under Storage — Disk Storage Systems — Disk to disk Backup — HP D2D Backup Systems). Reboot the system. During the system BIOS boot process, when the prompt to Press F9 is visible, press the F9 key to enter the RBSU (ROM-based Setup Utility) or BIOS Setup. This is so that you can change.
All G1 products require a BIOS ID, but there are no other settings (or licenses). There is a special utility that allows you to edit the BIOS ID. It is called Setsys Utility for HP D2D Backup Systems (for USB Key-Media).

BBWCs Procedure Remove the cover from the HP D2D Backup System, as described in the appropriate HP ProLiant Maintenance and Service guide, and locate the battery (see previous section). Look at the LEDs on the battery. If LED 3 is steady, the battery must be replaced. It may also need replacing if it is blinking amber and there is no activity on LED 4.

Replace the cover and power up the HP D2D. Check the status of the battery on the Summary page. If the system does not power up, the associated RAID card may need replacing.
RAID controller is fitted with 512 MB RAM and one BBWC (battery backed write cache). The two P41 1 cards are used to connect the external storage shelves to the D2D 4312 and are located in PCI-e slots 5 and 6. Each card is fitted with 512 MB RAM and one BBWC (battery backed write cache).
If the HP SAS expander card is at fault, disks will not be visible on the Storage-Shelves tab NOTE: If RAID fails and the HP D2D Backup System is still functioning, you can also get information, including license keys, by generating a Support ticket (from the Administration-Support web page).
BBWC. (Follow the cables back to identify to which card each battery is connected.) Power off the HP D2D Backup System. Remove the cover from the HP D2D, as described in the appropriate HP ProLiant Maintenance and Service guide, and locate the P41 1 controllers in PCI-e slots 5 and 6.
See also the rear view drawings in Chapter 1. The FBWC is an integral part of the card. Power off the HP D2D Backup System. Remove the cover from the HP D2D, as described in the appropriate HP ProLiant Maintenance and Service guide, and locate the P812 controllers in PCI-e slots 4, 5 and 6.

Replacement cards are supplied with a cable to connect the P400 controller to the BBWC, but this cable is too short for use in the HP D2D. It is normally sufficient to replace the P400 controller and/or battery, leaving the existing cable that connects the card to the BBWC in place. If the existing cable is damaged (for example, bent pins), you must order a separate replacement cable.

It is not long enough to connect to the BBWC. Replace the PCI cage and cover, as described in the appropriate HP ProLiant Maintenance and Service guide, and power on the HP D2D Backup System. Replacing the HP Smart Array P400 controller...
8 The HP SmartArray P800 RAID controller (HP D2D41 12 G1 only) Overview The HP StorageWorks D2D41 12 G1 Backup System uses the HP SmartArray P800 RAID controller fitted with 512 MB RAM and two BBWCs (battery backed write cache). IMPORTANT: The HP D2D4004, 4009 and 2500 Series G1 Backup Systems use the HP SmartArray P400 RAID controller and have one RAID battery.
Replacing the HP Smart Array P800 controller For detailed instructions on replacing the P800 controller, refer to “HP Smart Arrays for HP ProLiant Servers User Guide”. The replacement P800 controller is supplied without the BBWC batteries. The BBWCs must be removed from the failed board and installed on the replacement board. Instructions for doing this are also provided in the user guide.
