Operations Powering up the server 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. IMPORTANT: When the server is in standby mode, auxiliary power is still being provided to the system.
Slide the server fully into the rack. Secure the server by tightening the thumbscrews. Connect the peripheral cables and power cords. Remove the server from the rack To remove the server from a Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Compaq-branded, Telco, or third-party rack: Power down the server (on page 21).
Remove the fan. 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. For more information, refer to the fan locations table.
Remove the server from the rack (on page 22). Remove the access panel (on page 22). Remove the PCI riser cage. Install the PCI riser cage Install the PCI riser cage. Install the access panel (on page 22). Install the server into the rack. Connect each power cord to the server.

Setup Optional services 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: 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: 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. When installing more than one server, you might need to use additional power distribution devices to safely provide power to all devices.
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.
If you are installing the server into a telco rack, order the appropriate option kit at the RackSolutions.com website (http://www.racksolutions.com/hp). Follow the server-specific instructions on the website to install the rack brackets. Use the following information when connecting peripheral cables and power cords to the server.
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 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.
