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.
Before proceeding, verify that the server is in standby mode by observing that the system power LED is amber. Extending the server from the rack CAUTION: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage, be sure that the rack is adequately stabilized before extending a component from the rack.
Page 21
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. Do one of the following: • In a server that uses thumbscrew rack ears, tighten the captive thumbscrews. •...
Removing the server from the rack WARNING: The server is very heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment: • Observe local occupational health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual material handling. • Get help to lift and stabilize the product during installation or removal, especially when the product is not fastened.
• Extend the server from the rack. • Remove the server from the rack. 5. If the locking latch is locked, use a T-15 Torx screwdriver to unlock the latch. 6. Open the locking latch. The access panel slides back, releasing it from the chassis. 7.
The access panel slides to a closed position. 4. Use a T-15 Torx screw driver to tighten the access panel latch screw. Removing the PCI riser cage WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the internal system components to cool before touching them.
Retain the cage for future use. Installing the PCI riser cage CAUTION: To prevent damage to the server or expansion boards, power down the server, and disconnect all power cords before removing or installing the PCI riser cage. Procedure 1. If cabled expansion boards are installed on the PCI riser cage, connect all necessary internal cabling to the expansion boards.
• Slide the server into the rack. • Install the server into the rack. 5. Power up the server. Removing the air baffle CAUTION: For proper cooling, do not operate the server without the access panel, baffles, expansion slot covers, or blanks installed.

Setup Optional service Delivered by experienced, certified engineers, HPE support services help you keep your servers up and running with support packages tailored specifically for HPE ProLiant systems. HPE support services let you integrate both hardware and software support into a single package. A number of service level options are available to meet your business and IT needs.
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.
When installing more than one server, you might 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% of the branch circuit AC current rating. •...
CAUTION: Protect the server from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a regulating uninterruptible power supply. This device protects the hardware from damage caused by power surges and voltage spikes and keeps the system in operation during a power failure. CAUTION: Do not operate the server for long periods with the access open or removed.
In addition to the supplied items, you might need: • Operating system or application software • Hardware options • Screwdriver 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." Installing the server into the rack To install the server into a rack with square, round, or threaded holes, refer to the instructions that ship with the rack hardware kit.

Page 34
4. For a server using a hot-plug power supply: To prevent accidental power cord disconnection when sliding the server in and out of the enclosure, secure the power cord in the strain relief strap attached to the power input module handle: a.
5. Employ best practices to route and manage the power cords and other cables in the server rear panel. IMPORTANT: When using cable management arm components, be sure to leave enough slack in each of the cables to prevent damage to the cables when the server is extended from the rack. 6.
When multiple hook-and-loop straps are used in the same rack, stagger the strap location, so that the straps are adjacent to each other when viewed from top to bottom. This positioning will enable the rack rail to slide easily in and out of the rack. Installing the operating system This ProLiant server does not ship with provisioning media.
Selecting boot options in UEFI Boot Mode On servers operating in UEFI Boot Mode, the boot controller and boot order are set automatically. Procedure 1. Press the Power On/Standby button. 2. During the initial boot: • To modify the server configuration ROM default settings, press the F9 key in the ProLiant POST screen to enter the UEFI System Utilities screen.
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.
