Customer self repair Hewlett Packard Enterprise products are designed with many Customer Self Repair (CSR) parts to minimize repair time and allow for greater flexibility in performing defective parts replacement. If during the diagnosis period Hewlett Packard Enterprise (or Hewlett Packard Enterprise service providers or service partners) identifies that the repair can be accomplished by the use of a CSR part, Hewlett Packard Enterprise will ship that part directly to you for replacement.

Cabling Cabling overview WARNING: Be sure that all circuit breakers are locked in the off position before connecting any power components. CAUTION: To avoid damaging the fiber cables, do not drape cables from one side of the rack to the other and do not run cables over a hard corner or edge. CAUTION: To avoid damaging the cable, squeeze the thermal boot on the cable before disconnecting from the connector.
Page 56
Install the power cables into the chassis. To complete this procedure, locate the power management cable (part number 867755-001). CAUTION: To prevent damage to the power management cable, release the cable by pressing the latches when disconnecting, instead of pulling directly. IMPORTANT: When connecting the power management cable to the chassis management module and the power shelf, be sure to install the cable with the plastic tab on the top of the connector.

Cables connecting the HPE APM to the network IMPORTANT: If you have an HPE APM connected to an Apollo d6500 Chassis, do not connect the iLO port of the HPE APM and the iLO port of the enclosure to the network at the same time.
Page 60
Connecting multiple chassis to the network with the chassis management module iLO ports Connect all cables to the chassis management modules and the network. Multiple chassis can be connected to the same network. IMPORTANT: If using the chassis management module iLO ports to connect multiple chassis to a network, the network must operate at a speed of 1 Gb/s.

Configuring the system Power capping The HPE ProLiant XL family of products provides a power capping feature that operates at the server enclosure level. The capping feature can be activated with PPIC.EXE, a stand-alone utility that runs in the environment of one of the resident servers in the chassis to be power capped. After a power cap is set for the enclosure, all the resident servers in the enclosure will have the same uniform power cap applied to them until the cap is either modified or canceled.
Page 62
Configuring a power cap To configure power capping, you can use the following utilities: • HPE ProLiant Power Interface Control Utility PPIC is a standalone utility that runs on a single server within the enclosure. For more information, see the ProLiant Power Interface Control (PPIC) Utility User Guide on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/support/PPIC_UG_en).
Page 63
If NONE is specified instead of a cap wattage value, then APM removes all (or the specified zone) of the power caps. To remove baseline data from the EEPROM and to remove the power cap setting, enter the following command: >SET POWER BASELINE NONE After this command is issued, the only way to re-establish a power baseline is to issue the SET POWER BASELINE command.
Page 64
Many issues that require troubleshooting will require that the power be removed and re-applied to the system. Since one or two HPE Apollo d6500 Chassis can be connected to one power shelf, this will result in power being removed from all the servers installed in the chassis.
Page 65
Install the chassis management module. Install all accelerator tray power cables. Verify that the system power LED on the Power On/Standby button illuminates green after power on. For more LED information, see the server user guide on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/support/Apollo6500-docs).
