Operations Power up the server To power up the server, use one of the following methods: • Press the Power On/Standby button. • Use the virtual power button through iLO. Power down the server Before powering down the server for any upgrade or maintenance procedures, perform a backup of critical server data and programs.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, be careful when pressing the server rail-release latches and sliding the server into the rack. The sliding rails could pinch your fingers. 5. After the installation or maintenance procedure, slide the server into the rack: a.
The access panel slides to a closed position. 3. Tighten the security screw on the latch, if needed. Remove the hot-plug fan Procedure 1. Observe the following alert: IMPORTANT: After removing a high-performance (dual-rotor) fan, install or replace the fan within 60 seconds. Otherwise, the server will shut down gracefully.
CAUTION: Do not operate the server for long periods with the access panel open or removed. Operating the server in this manner results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage. IMPORTANT: For optimum cooling, install fans in all primary fan locations. To replace the component, reverse the removal procedure.
Install the primary PCI riser cage Procedure 1. Install the PCI riser cage. 2. Install the access panel (Install the access panel). 3. Install the server into the rack (Installing the server into the rack). 4. Connect each power cord to the server. 5.
Remove the secondary PCI riser cage Procedure Observe the following alert: CAUTION: To prevent damage to the server or expansion boards, power down the server and remove all AC power cords before removing or installing the PCI riser cage. Back up all server data. Power down the server (Power down the server).
Install the secondary PCI riser cage Procedure 1. Install the PCI riser cage. 2. If needed, install expansion boards (Installing an expansion board in the secondary riser cage). 3. Install the access panel (Install the access panel). 4. Install the server into the rack (Installing the server into the rack). 5.
Remove the 8 SFF drive backplane Procedure 1. Back up all server data. 2. Power down the server (Power down the server). 3. Remove all power: a. Disconnect each power cord from the power source. b. Disconnect each power cord from the server. 4.
Setup Optional service 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. A number of service level options are available to meet your business and IT needs.
CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and damage to the equipment, do not block the ventilation openings. When vertical space in the rack is not filled by a server or rack component, the gaps between the components cause changes in airflow through the rack and across the servers. Cover all gaps with blanking panels to maintain proper airflow. CAUTION: Always use blanking panels to fill empty vertical spaces in the rack.
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. Electrical grounding requirements The server must be grounded properly for proper operation and safety.
CAUTION: If the DC connection exists between the earthed conductor of the DC supply circuit and the earthing conductor at the server equipment, the following conditions must be met: • This equipment must be connected directly to the DC supply system earthing electrode conductor or to a bonding jumper from an earthing terminal bar or bus to which the DC supply system earthing electrode conductor is connected.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or burns after removing the energy pack: • Do not disassemble, crush, or puncture the energy pack. • Do not short external contacts. • Do not dispose of the energy pack in fire or water. After power is disconnected, battery voltage might still be present for 1s to 160s.
The contents of the server shipping carton include: • Server • Power cord • Hardware documentation and software products • Rack-mounting hardware and documentation In addition to the supplied items, you might need: • Operating system or application software • Hardware options •...
Operating system This ProLiant server does not ship with provisioning media. Everything required to manage and install the system software and firmware is preloaded on the server. To operate properly, the server must have a supported operating system. Attempting to run an unsupported operating system can cause serious and unpredictable results.
• To modify the server configuration ROM default settings, press the F9 key in the ProLiant POST screen to enter the UEFI System Utilities screen. By default, the System Utilities menus are in the English language. • If you do not need to modify the server configuration and are ready to install the system software, press the F10 key to access Intelligent Provisioning.
Hardware options installation Hewlett Packard Enterprise product QuickSpecs For more information about product features, specifications, options, configurations, and compatibility, see the product QuickSpecs on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (https://www.hpe.com/info/qs). Introduction Install any hardware options before initializing the server. If multiple options are being installed, read the installation instructions for all the hardware options to identify similar steps and streamline the installation process.
4. Insert the power supply into the power supply bay until it clicks into place. 5. Connect the power cord to the power supply. 6. Route the power cord. Use best practices when routing power cords and other cables. A cable management arm is available to help with routing.
DIMM-processor compatibility The installed processor determines the type of DIMM that is supported in the server: • First-generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors support DDR4-2666 DIMMs. • Second-generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors support DDR4-2933 DIMMs. Mixing DIMM types is not supported. Install only the supported DDR4-2666 or DDR4-2933 DIMMs in the server.
