Minimizing The Impact Of Changes By Using Hp Tools; Managing Updates Through Integration Servers - HP 1850R - ProLiant - 128 MB RAM Troubleshooting Manual

•
Be sure that you allow enough time to make the changes.
•
Check for potential device conflicts before adding a device.
•
If you are adding a processor, keep the terminator board. If you have a processor
problem, you can restore the server with the remaining processors. Put terminator
boards in all processor slots not occupied by processors.
•
If you are adding faster or larger hard drives to a storage system, a thermal
upgrade or power supply upgrade may be necessary. The heat generated by some
of the larger and faster hard drives can cause a thermal overload if you have not
made provisions for additional cooling.
•
If a fixed cable tray or other cable routing system is available for your server,
using this system can help prevent loose cabling and damage to cables that can
result from improper disconnection. For more information on correctly routing
the cords and cables for your server, refer to your server-specific user
documentation.

Managing Updates Through Integration Servers

Consider using an integration server as part of the SmartStart integration process on a
new server or during maintenance of an existing server. You can create an integration
server using the Integration Maintenance Utility. The utility facilitates network-based
updates by managing the connection to the integration server and providing a list of
the supported updates available on the integration server.
The Integration Maintenance Utility can also access software for server updates on
the SmartStart CD, the Management CD, and the Software Products CDs.
