  • Page 14: Rack Requirements

    Before installing the chassis into the rack, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends removing the servers and drives. Because a fully populated chassis is heavy, removing these components facilitates moving and installing the chassis. For instructions, refer to the HPE Apollo 2000 Gen10 Chassis User Guide available from the http://support.hpe.com website.
  • Page 15 IMPORTANT: When installing each chassis into the rack, be sure that the HPE Apollo Platform Manager is at the top of the chassis to ensure proper orientation in the rack. Start installing the chassis at the lowest available U space in the rack.

    Connect the network cables Procedure overview Each of the HPE SimpliVity 2600 Gen10 servers in the HPE SimpliVity 2600 Gen10 chassis provide 10 GbE and 1 GbE network interfaces for the Federation, Storage, and Management network traffic. You can access the following network interfaces at the back of the servers: •...

  • Page 17: Power Up The Server

    Procedure 1. Connect the cables according to the guidelines for the HPE SimpliVity 2600 Gen10 networks only. 2. Ensure that no other network interfaces, such as optional 10 GbE interfaces, are connected to your network before deploying the server to a federation.
  • Page 18 3. Watch the health indicator (2) on the front panel to make sure it changes from flashing green to steady green. NOTE: If an error occurs during server start-up, contact Customer Support (support.hpe.com). 4. Repeat the above steps for each server in the chassis.

  • Page 19: Chapter 3: Configure The Ilo Port For Remote Management

    NOTE: If you prefer to configure iLO at a later time, you can skip this task and deploy the server using Deployment Manager. See the HPE OmniStack 3.7.6 for vSphere Deployment Guide for deployment instructions. Procedure overview You configure the iLO port on each server in the chassis to access the iLO console through a web browser. The iLO console provides out-of-band remote server management and access to advanced management options.

    Customer Support (support.hpe.com). Diagnostic indicators The front panel on the HPE SimpliVity 2600 Gen10 chassis provides diagnostic LEDs that indicate when each server is functioning properly and when a hardware-related error occurs. The indicators can help you correct problems before they affect service levels.

  • Page 23: Drive Monitoring

    The LEDs on the front of each drive indicate when a drive has failed or is failing. If a drive fails, contact Customer Support (support.hpe.com) to obtain a replacement drive of the same type, size, and speed. The drives in the front panel store user and federation data and are protected by RAID 1+0 and RAID 5.

  • Page 24: Front Drive Numbering

    4-6. An HPE SimpliVity 190 Gen10 system consists of two 2U servers supporting a total of 12 drives in the chassis. Server 1 uses drives 1-1 through 1-3 and drives 2-1 through 2-3. Server 3 uses drives 3-1 through 3-3, and 4-1 through 4-3.
