Removal and Replacement Procedures Safety Considerations Before performing service procedures, review the following safety information. Electrostatic Discharge A discharge of static electricity can damage static-sensitive devices or micro-circuitry. Proper packaging and grounding techniques are necessary precautions to prevent damage. To prevent electrostatic damage: Transport products in static-safe containers such as conductive tubes, bags, or boxes.
Removal and Replacement Procedures Power supplies or systems marked with these symbols indicate the presence of multiple sources of power. WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal safety from electrical shock, remove all power cords to completely disconnect power from the power supplies and systems.
Removal and Replacement Procedures Server Warnings and Cautions WARNING: Do not exceed the level of repair specified in the procedures in the product documentation. All troubleshooting and repair procedures are detailed to allow only subassembly or module-level repair. Because of the complexity of the individual boards and subassemblies, do not attempt to make repairs at the component level or to make modifications to any printed wiring board.
Extend the server from the rack. If you are performing service procedures in a Compaq branded rack or third-party rack cabinet, you can use the locking feature of the rack rails to support the server and gain access to internal components.
Removal and Replacement Procedures Figure 3: Locating and removing the Torx T-15 tool Extending the Server from the Rack To perform service procedures, you must extend the server from the rack To extend the server from the rack: 1. Loosen the thumbscrews that secure the server to the front of the rack. Figure 4: Loosening the front panel thumbscrews 2.
Page 25
Removal and Replacement Procedures Figure 5: Extending the server from the rack WARNING: Be careful when pressing the rail-release levers and sliding the component into or out of the rack. The sliding rails could pinch your fingertips. 3. To return the server to the rack, reach around the front of the server to press the rail-release levers at the front of both server rails and continue to slide the server into the rack.
Removal and Replacement Procedures Opening and Removing the Rear Access Panel The NAS e7000 v2 server has front and rear access panels that may need to be opened and removed to access the system board, processors, memory slots, expansion slots, and other internal components.

Removal and Replacement Procedures DIMM Installation Requirements Observe the following DIMM configuration requirements when installing DIMM: Use only industry-standard PC1600 registered DDR SDRAM DIMMs in 256-MB, 512-MB, 1-GB, and 2-GB capacities, and that support Error Checking and Correcting (ECC). Install DIMMs in groups of four, one bank at a time. Groups of four DIMMs must be identical.
Removal and Replacement Procedures Additional Requirements for Single-Board Mirrored Memory Technology In addition to the DIMM configuration requirements for advanced ECC memory, observe the following DIMM configuration requirements when installing DIMMs for single-board mirrored memory: Install only one board. The board must be installed in memory board slot 1. Bank B of memory board 1 is the mirrored bank.
Page 42
Removal and Replacement Procedures 2. Open the rear access panel. Refer to “Opening and Removing the Rear Access Panel” in this chapter. Hot-plug replacement procedure: Determine which memory board contains the failed DIMM by locating the memory board with an amber memory status LED and one or more amber DIMM status LEDs.
Removal and Replacement Procedures Figure 18: Removing a memory board Removing a DIMM To remove a DIMM: 1. Remove the memory board. Refer to “Removing a Memory Board” in this chapter. 2. Place the memory board on a level, nonconductive surface. 3.

Removal and Replacement Procedures Figure 22: Removing a drive blank Note: Keep the blank for future use. Reverse steps 1 and 2 to replace a drive blank. Hot-Plug SCSI Hard Drives Drive Replacement Precautions Be aware of the following guidelines cautioning unsafe hot-plug replacement. Do not remove a degraded drive if any other member of the array is offline (the online LED is off).
Page 49
Removal and Replacement Procedures Do not replace multiple degraded drives at the same time, since the fault tolerance can be compromised. When a drive is replaced, the controller uses data from the other drives in the array to reconstruct data on the replacement drive. If more than one drive is removed, a complete data set is not available to reconstruct data on the replacement drive or drives, and permanent data loss can occur.
Removal and Replacement Procedures Note: Always populate hard drive bays starting with the lowest SCSI ID. Reverse steps 1 through 3 to replace a hot-plug SCSI hard drive. Power Supply Blank To remove a power supply blank: 1. Press the lever-release button on the handle of the power supply blanks (1). 2.
Removal and Replacement Procedures Caution: Hot-plug power supplies for the NAS e7000 v2 are keyed to be sure that only 800-W hot-plug power supplies can be installed in the server. The handles on 800-W power supplies are black to distinguish them from other power supplies. To remove a hot-plug power supply: 1.
Page 52
Removal and Replacement Procedures The PCI-X Hot Plug button and the PCI-X Hot Plug Utility enable you to power up or power down a PCI-X Hot Plug expansion slot.

Diagnostic Tools This chapter is an overview of software and firmware diagnostic tools that are available for configuring, monitoring, and managing the HP StorageWorks NAS e7000 v2. NAS e7000 v2 Maintenance and Service Guide...
Diagnostic Tools Automatic Server Recovery-2 ASR-2 is a feature that causes the system to restart when a catastrophic operating system error occurs, such as a blue screen, ABEND (abnormal end), or panic. A system fail-safe timer, the ASR-2 timer, starts when the System Management driver, also known as the Health Driver, is loaded.
Diagnostic Tools Integrated Lights-Out Technology Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) is a standard component that provides server health and remote server manageability. The iLO subsystem includes an intelligent microprocessor, secure memory, and a dedicated network interface. This design makes iLO independent of the host server and its operating system.
This utility supports operating systems that may not be supported by the server. For operating systems supported by the server, refer to the HP website: ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/products/servers/os-support-matrix-310.pdf.

Connectors, LEDs, and Switches Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI) Switch Crash dump analysis is an essential part of eliminating reliability problems such as hangs or crashes in operating systems, device drivers, and applications. Crashes can freeze a system, requiring you to do a hard reset. Resetting the system erases any information that supports root cause analysis.

Troubleshooting ROMPaq Disaster Recovery During troubleshooting, it may become apparent that the system ROM is corrupted. Because the server has redundant ROM capability, you can use the backup ROM until it is feasible to bring the server down. If both ROMs are corrupted, you will need to perform the ROMPaq disaster recovery procedure before the server will boot.

Troubleshooting ROMPaq Disaster Recovery A corrupted system ROM requires that you recreate the ROM BIOS by a process called disaster recovery. This operation can be accomplished only when the system is in disaster recovery (emergency repair boot) mode. When both system ROMs are corrupt, the system defaults to disaster recovery mode automatically and the server emits two extended beeps.
