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.
Removing the server from the rack To remove the server from a Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Compaq-branded, Telco, or third-party rack: Procedure 1. Power down the server. 2. Extend the server from the rack. 3. Disconnect the cabling and remove the server from the rack. For more information, see the documentation that ships with the rack mounting option.
To identify components, see "Rear panel components". 2. At the rear of the server, plug in the power cord to the power supply. 3. Install the power cord anchors. 4. Secure the cables to the cable management arm. IMPORTANT: Leave enough slack in each of the cables to prevent damage to the cables when the server is extended from the rack.
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. To remove the component: Procedure 1.
Installing the fan cage 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. Removing the air baffle or midplane drive cage CAUTION: Do not detach the cable that connects the battery pack to the cache module.
Page 49
CAUTION: For proper cooling, do not operate the server without the access panel, baffles, expansion slot covers, or blanks installed. If the server supports hot-plug components, minimize the amount of time the access panel is open. Procedure 1. Power down the server. 2.
CAUTION: Do not drop the drive cage on the system board. Dropping the drive cage on the system board might damage the system or components. Remove all drives and use two hands when installing or removing the drive cage. Installing the air baffle Procedure 1.

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.
Electrical grounding requirements The server must be grounded properly for proper operation and safety. In the United States, you must install the equipment in accordance with NFPA 70, 1999 Edition (National Electric Code), Article 250, as well as any local and regional building codes. In Canada, you must install the equipment in accordance with Canadian Standards Association, CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code.
To connect a DC power cable to a DC power source: 1. Cut the DC power cord ends no shorter than 150 cm (59.06 in). 2. If the power source requires ring tongues, use a crimping tool to install the ring tongues on the power cord wires.
Rack warnings WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure that: • The leveling jacks are extended to the floor. • The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks. • The stabilizing feet are attached to the rack if it is a single-rack installation.
Before installing an operating system, observe the following: • Be sure to read the HPE UEFI requirements for ProLiant servers on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website. If UEFI requirements are not met, you might experience boot failures or other errors when installing the operating system.

To reduce the risk of personal injury, electric shock, or damage to the equipment, remove power from the server: For rack and tower servers, remove the power cord.
Page 145
CAUTION: If the TPM is removed from the original server and powered up on a different server, data stored in the TPM including keys will be erased. CAUTION: The TPM is keyed to install only in the orientation shown. Any attempt to install the TPM in a different orientation might result in damage to the TPM or system board.
Preparing the server for operation Procedure 1. Install any options or cables previously removed to access the TPM connector. 2. Do one of the following: • Install the air baffle. • Install the 4LFF midplane drive cage. 3. Install the access panel. 4.
7. If changes were made and saved, the server prompts for reboot request. Press the Enter key to confirm reboot. If the following actions were performed, the server reboots a second time without user input. During this reboot, the TPM setting becomes effective. •...
