Media device screws There are 16 T-15 Torx screws located on the server chassis. These screws are provided as spare screws for installing media devices. Expansion board screws There are T-15 Torx screws located on the underside of the PCI blank retainer. These are screws for installing PCIe standup plug-in expansion board options.
Delivered by experienced, certified engineers, Hewlett Packard Enterprise support services help you keep your servers up and running with support packages tailored specifically for HPE ProLiant systems. Hewlett Packard Enterprise support services let you integrate both hardware and software support into a single package.
If the server was shipped in a rack, remove the shipping brackets. 7. Configure the server. 8. Install or deploy an operating system. 9. Register the server. To configure arrays, see the HPE Smart Array SR Gen10 Configuration Guide at the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website. Operational requirements Space and airflow requirements...
CAUTION: If a third-party rack is used, observe the following additional requirements to ensure adequate airflow and to prevent damage to the equipment: • Front and rear doors—If the 42U rack includes closing front and rear doors, you must allow 5,350 sq cm (830 sq in) of holes evenly distributed from top to bottom to permit adequate airflow (equivalent to the required 64 percent open area for ventilation).
Because of the high ground-leakage currents associated with multiple servers connected to the same power source, Hewlett Packard Enterprise 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.
