HPE ProLiant DL385p Gen8 Server Maintenance and Service Guide Abstract This guide describes identification and maintenance procedures, diagnostic tools, specifications, and requirements for hardware components and software. This guide is for an experienced service technician. Hewlett Packard Enterprise assumes you are qualified in the servicing of computer equipment, trained in recognizing hazards in products, and are familiar with weight and stability precautions.
Customer self repair Hewlett Packard Enterprise 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 Hewlett Packard Enterprise (or Hewlett Packard Enterprise service providers or service partners) identifies that the repair can be accomplished by the use of a CSR part, Hewlett Packard Enterprise will ship that part directly to you for replacement.
