    Item Label Indicator Description During normal operation, this LED should be on. ON: The disk array is plugged in and receiving power from the primary AC outlet. The SVP is BS-ON receiving power from the outlet. LED (Amber) OFF: The disk array is not receiving power from the primary AC outlet.

  • Page 25: Backup Batteries

    The disk array must contain at least one spare disk drive and can contain up to 16. Any of the spare disk drives can back up any other disk drive of equal rotational speed and equal or lesser capacity, in any disk chassis, even if the failed disk and the spare disk are in different array domains. The XP10000 disk array supports 73 GB, 146 GB, 300 GB and 400 GB Fibre Channel disk drives.

  • Page 28: Powering Down The Disk Array

    CAUTION: Do not perform any procedures not described in this guide. If you have any questions or concerns, contact your HP support representative. WARNING! Do not touch areas marked HAZARDOUS, even with the power off. These areas contain high-voltage power. CAUTION: If you detect any abnormal noise, smell, or smoke coming from the disk array, immediately power off the disk array by following the emergency power off procedure later in this chapter.

  • Page 29: Emergency Power Off

    Emergency power off The system does not have an emergency power off switch. In an emergency when it is crucial to power off the system immediately for safety reasons, remove power at the AC branch circuit breakers in your facility that supply power to the system. Take care when placing these breakers that they are clearly marked and easily accessible.

  • Page 30: Manual Restart After Power Is Restored

    Manual restart after power is restored CAUTION: After power is restored to your site and before restoring power to the system, HP recommends that you have an electrician verify the power to ensure that all phases are restored and input power is stable. Before you power on the system, power on any external disk array(s) first and make sure they are operating properly.

    PS-ON turns green. MESSAGE LED may turn amber if the system is not configured for remote support, signifying a SIM was generated because the system lost power unexpectedly. READY LED turns green, signifying the system is ready. CAUTION: Powering on the disk array can take several minutes. Power on is complete only when the READY LED turns green.

    Humidity range type Non-condensing relative humidity (RH) Non-operating maximum wet bulb temperature 27 degrees C (81 F) Shipping and storage maximum wet bulb 29 degrees C (84 F) temperature Mechanical vibration Continuous vibration can cause a slow degradation of mechanical parts and, when severe, can cause data errors in disk drives.

  • Page 33: Hp Xp10000 Troubleshooting

    4 HP XP10000 Troubleshooting Service information messages The system generates service information messages (SIMs) to identify normal operations, service requirements, and failures. SIMs are generated by the SVP and the system microprocessors. Your HP support representative uses the SIMs to monitor and troubleshoot the system. You can view SIMs using the system's management software.
  • Page 34 Item Description If the system is set up for remote support, HP XP Continuous Track reports the SIMs to STC through a dedicated dialup connection.SIMs are classified according to severity: service, moderate, serious, or acute. Service and moderate levels do not require immediate attention and are addressed during routine maintenance.
