Customer self repair
HP products are designed with many Customer Self Repair (CSR) parts to minimize repair time and
allow for greater flexibility in performin g defective parts replacement. If during the dia gn osis period
HP (or HP service providers or service partners) identifies that the repair can be accomplished by the
use of a CSR part, H P w ill sh ip t h at part directly to you for replacement. There are two ca tegories of
CSR parts:
• Mandatory—Pa r ts for which customer self repair is mandator y. If you request HP to replace
these parts, you will be char g ed for the travel a nd labor costs of thi s ser vice.
• Optional—Parts for which customer self repair is option al. These parts ar e also designed for
customer se l f repair. If, however, you require t h at HP replace them for you, there may or may not
be additional charges, depending on the type of warranty service designated for your product.
NOTE: Some HP pa r t s are not designed fo r customer self repair. In order to sa tisfy the customer
warranty, HP requires that an authorized service provider replace the p art. These parts a r e i dentified
as "No" in the Illustrated Parts Catalog.
Based on availability and where geography permits, CSR parts will be shipped for next business day
delivery. Same day or four-hour delivery may be offered at an additional charge where geography
permits. If assistance is required, you can call the HP Technical Support Center and a technician will
help you over the telephone. HP specifies in the materials shipped with a replacement CSR part
whether a defective pa r t must be returned to H P . In cases where it i s r equired to return the defective
part to HP, you must ship the defective part back to HP within a defined period of time, normally five
(5) business days. The defective part must be returned with the associated documentation in the
provided shipp in g m aterial. Failure to return the defective part may result in HP b illing you for the
replacement. With a customer self repair, HP will pay all shipping and part return costs and
determine t he courier/carr ier to be used.
For more information about HP's Customer Self Repair program, contact your local service provider.
For the North American program, refer to the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/selfrepair).
Parts only warranty service
Your HP Limited Warranty may include a parts only warranty service. Under the terms of parts only
warranty service, HP will provide replacement parts free of charge.
For parts only warranty service, CSR part replacement is mandatory. If you request HP to replace
these parts, you will be char g ed for the travel a nd labor costs of thi s ser vice.

Réparation par le client (CSR)
Les produit s HP comportent de n ombreuses pièces CSR (Customer Self Repair = répar ation par le
client) afin de minimiser les délais de répa r ation et faciliter le remplacemen t des pièces défectueuses.
Si pendant la période de diagnostic, HP (ou ses partenaires ou mainteneurs agréés) détermine que la
réparation peut être effect uée à l'aide d'une p ièce CSR, HP vous l'e n voie directement. Il existe deux
catégories de pièces CSR:
• Obligatoire - Pièces pour lesquell es la réparation par le client est obligatoire. Si vous
demandez à HP de remplacer ces pièces, les coûts de déplacement et main d'œuvre du service
vous seront facturés.
• Facultatif - Pièces pour lesquelles la réparation par le client est facultative. Ces pièces sont
également conçues pour perm et tre au client d'eff ectuer lui-même la réparation. Toutefois, si vous
demandez à HP de remplacer ces pièces, l'intervention peut ou non vous être facturée, sel o n l e
type de garantie applicable à votre produit.
REMARQUE: Certaines pièces HP ne sont pas conçues pour permettre au client d'effectuer lui-même
la réparation. Pour que la garantie puisse s'appliquer, HP exige que le remplacement de la pièce soit
effectué par un Mainteneur Agr éé. Ces pièces sont identifiées par la mention "Non" dans le
Catalogue illustr é.
Les pièces CS R sont livrées le jo ur o uv ré suivant, d ans la limite des stocks disponibles et selon votre
situation géographique. Si votre situation géographique le permet et que vous demandez une
livraison le jour mêm e ou dans les 4 heures, celle-ci vous sera facturée. Pour bénéficier d'une
assistanc e téléphonique, appelez le Centre d 'assistance technique HP. Dan s les documents envoy és
avec la pièce de rechange CSR, HP précise s'il est nécessaire de lui retourner la pièce défectueuse. Si
c'est le cas, vous devez le faire dans le délai ind i qué, généralement cinq (5) jours o uv r és. La pièce et
sa documentation doivent être retournées da n s l 'emballage fourni. Si vous ne retournez pas la pièce
défectueuse, HP se réserve le droit de vous fact urer les coûts de r emplacement. Dans le cas d'une
pièce CSR, HP supporte l'ensemble des frais d'expédition et de retour, et déterm ine la société de
courses ou le transporteur à utiliser.
Pour plus d'inform a t ions sur le programm e CS R de H P, contactez votre Mainteneur Agrée local. Pour
plus d'informations sur ce programme en Amérique du Nord, consultez le s it e Web HP
(http://www.hp.com/go/selfrepair).
Service de garantie "pièces seules"
Votre garant ie limitée HP peut inclure un servi ce d e g arantie "piè ces seules". Dans ce cas, les pièc es
de rechange fournies par HP ne sont pas facturé es.
Dans le cadre de ce service, la réparation des pièces CSR par le client est obligatoire. Si vous
demandez à HP de remplacer ces pièces, les coûts de déplacement et main d'œuvre du service vous
seront facturés.

Riparazione da parte del cliente
Per abbreviare i tempi di riparazione e garantire una maggiore flessibilità nella sostituzione di parti
difettose, i prodott i H P sono realizzati con numerosi componenti che posson o essere riparati
direttamente dal cliente (CSR, Customer Self Repair). Se in fase di diagnostica HP (o un centro di
servizi o di assistenza H P ) identifica il guasto come riparabile mediante un ricambio CSR, HP lo
spedirà direttamente al cliente per la sostituzione. Vi sono due cate gor ie di parti CSR:
• Obbligatorie – Parti che devon o essere necessa r i amente riparate dal cliente. Se il cliente ne
affida la riparazione ad HP, deve sostenere le spese di spedizione e di manodopera per il
servizio.
• Opzionali – Parti la cui riparazione da parte del cliente è facoltativa. Si tratta comunque di
componenti progettati per questo scopo. Se tutt avia il cliente ne richiede la sostituzione ad HP,
potrebbe dover sostenere spese addizionali a seconda del tipo di garanzia previsto per il
prodotto.
NOTA: alcuni componenti HP non sono progettati per la riparazione da parte del cliente. Per
rispettare l a garanzia, HP rich iede che queste pa r t i siano sostituit e da un centro di assistenza
autorizzato. Tal i p arti sono identificate da un "No" nel Catalogo illustra t o dei componenti.
In base alla disponibilità e alla località geografica, le parti CSR vengono spedite con consegna entr o
il giorno lavorativo seguente. La consegna nel giorno stesso o entro quattr o ore è offerta con un
supplement o di costo solo i n alcune zone. In caso di necessità si può richiedere l'assistenza telefonica
di un addetto del centro di supporto tecnico HP. Nel materiale fornito con una parte di ricambio CSR,
HP specifica se il cliente deve r estituire dei componenti. Qualora si a richiesta la resa ad HP del
componente difettoso, lo si deve spedire ad HP entro un determinato periodo d i tempo, generalmente
cinque (5) giorni lavorativi. Il componente difettoso deve essere restituito con la documentazione
associata nell'imballo di spedizione fornito. La mancata restituzione del componente può comportare
la fatturazione del ricambio da parte di HP. Nel caso di riparazione da parte del cliente, HP sostiene
tutte le spes e di spedizione e resa e sceglie il corriere/vettore da utilizzare.
Per ulteriori inform azioni sul programma CS R d i H P contattare il centro di assist enza di zona. Per il
programma in Nord America fare riferimento al sito Web HP (http://www.hp.com/go/selfrepair).
Servizio di garanzia per i soli componenti
La garanzia limitata HP può includere un servizio di garanzia per i soli componenti. Nei termini di
garanzia del servizio per i soli component i, HP fornirà gratuitamente le parti di ricambio.
Per il servizio di garanzia per i soli componenti è obbligatoria la formula CS R che prevede la
riparazione da parte del cliente. Se il cliente invece richiede la sostituzione ad HP, dovrà sostenere le
spese di spedizion e e di manodopera per il servizio.

Customer Self Repair
Veel onderdelen in HP producten zijn door de klant zelf te repareren, waardoor de reparatieduur tot
een minimum beperkt kan blijven en de flexibiliteit in het vervangen van defecte onderdelen groter is.
Deze onderdelen worden CS R-onderdelen (Customer Self R epair) genoemd. Als HP (of een HP
Service Partner) bij de diagnose vaststelt dat de reparatie kan worden uitgevoerd met een CSR-
onderdeel, verzendt HP dat ond er deel rechtstreeks naar u, zodat u het defecte onder deel daarmee
kunt vervangen. Er zijn twee categorieën CSR-onderdelen:
• Verplicht: Onderdelen waarvoor reparatie door de klant verplicht is. Als u HP verzoekt deze
onderdelen voor u te vervangen, worden u voor deze service reiskosten en a r beidsloon in
rekening gebracht.
• Optioneel: Onderdelen waarvoor reparatie door de klant opt ioneel is. Ook deze on derdelen
zijn ontworpen v oor rep aratie door de klant. Als u echter HP verzoekt deze onderdelen voor u te
vervangen, kunnen daarvoor extra kosten in rekening worden gebracht, afhankelijk van het type
garantieservice voor het product.

verband met de garanti evoorwaarden moet het onderdeel door een geautor i seerde Service Partner

met "Nee".
Afhankelijk van de leverbaarheid en de locatie worden CSR-onderdelen verzonden voor leverin g op
de eerstvolgende werkdag. Levering op dezel fde dag of binnen vier uur kan tegen meerkosten
worden aangebod en, indien dit mogelijk is gez ien de locatie. Indien assistentie gewenst is, belt u een
HP Service Partner om via de telefoon technische ondersteuning te ontvangen. HP vermeldt in de
documentatie bij het vervangende CSR-onderd eel of het defecte on derdeel aan HP moet w orden
geretourneerd. Als het defecte onderdeel aan HP moet word en teruggezonden, moet u het defecte
onderdeel binnen een bepaalde p eriod e, gewoonlijk vijf (5) werkdagen, retourneren aan HP. Het

Reparo feito pelo cliente
Os produtos da HP são projetados com muitas peças para reparo feito pelo cliente (CSR) de modo a
minimizar o tempo de reparo e permitir maior flexibilidade na substituição de peças com defeito. Se,
durante o período de diagnóstico, a HP (ou fornecedores/parceiros de serviço da HP) concluir que o
reparo pode ser efetuado pelo uso de uma peça CSR, a peça de reposição será enviada diretamente
ao cliente. Existem duas categorias de peças CSR:
• Obrigatória – P eças cujo reparo feito pelo cliente é obrigatório. Se dese jar que a HP substitua
essas peças, serão cobrad as as despesas de tra nsporte e mão-de-obra do serviço.
• Opcional – Peças cujo re paro feito pelo cliente é opcional. Essas peças também são
projetadas para o reparo feito pelo cliente. No entanto, se desejar que a HP as substitua, pode
haver ou não a cobrança de taxa adicional, dependendo do tipo de serviço de garantia
destinado ao produto.
OBSERVAÇÃO: Algumas peças da HP não são projetadas para o reparo feito pelo cliente. A fim
de cumprir a garantia do cliente, a HP exige que um técnico autorizado substitua a peça. Essas
peças estão identificadas com a marca "No" (Não), no catálogo de peças ilustrado.
Conforme a disponibilidade e o local geográfico, as peças CSR serão enviadas no primeiro dia útil
após o pedido. Onde as condições geográficas permitirem, a entrega no mesmo dia ou em quatro
horas pode ser feita mediante uma taxa adicional. Se precisar de auxílio, entre em contato com o
Centro de suporte técnico d a HP para que um técnico o ajude por telefone. A HP espe cifica nos
materiais fornecidos com a peça CSR de reposição se a peça com defeito deve ser devolvida à HP.
Nos casos em que isso for necessá r i o, é preciso env iar a peça com defeito à HP dentro do p eríodo
determinado, normalmente cinco (5) dias úteis. A peça com defeito deve ser enviada com a
documentação correspondente no material de transporte fornecido. Caso não o faça, a HP poderá
cobrar a reposição. Para as peças de reparo feito pelo cliente, a HP paga todas as despesas de
transporte e de devolução da peça e determina a transportadora/serviço postal a ser utilizado.

Non-hot-plug devices in the server include the processor, all boards, memory modules, fans, PCI and
IPMI option cards, and non-hot-pluggable hard drives.

Removal and replacement procedures 25
Electrostatic discharge information
ESD can damage static-sensitive devices or micro circuitry. P roper packaging and grounding
techniques are necessary precautions to prevent damage. To prevent elect r ostatic dama g e, observe
the following precautions:
• Transport products in static-safe container s such as conductive tubes, bags, or boxes.
• Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free stati ons.
• Cover worksta t ion s wit h a pproved static-dissipating material. Use a wrist strap connected to the
work surface and properly grounded (earthed) tools and equipment.
• Keep work area free of nonconductive materials, such as ordinary plastic assembly aids and
foam packing.
• Make sure that you are always properly grounded (earthed) when touching a static-sensitive
component or assembly.
• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
• Always place drives with the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) assembly-side down.
• Use conductive field servi ce tools.

• Do not sharply bend any cable. A sharp bend can break the internal wires.
• Never bend a SATA/SAS data cable tighter than a 30 mm (1.18 in) radius.
• Never crease a SATA/SAS data cable.
• Do not rely on components like the drive cage, power supply, or computer cov er to push cables
down into the chassis.
• Use supplied cable management straps to secure cables.
NOTE: Always follow good cable management practices when working inside the computer.
To remove power supply power cables and RPS from system board connectors respectively use the
following steps:
1. Squeeze on the top of the retaining latch attached to the cable end of the connector.
2. Grasp the cable end of the connector and pull it straight up.

Removal and replacement procedures 46
Replacing the processor
CAUTION: To allow the heatsink to draw away as much heat as possible from the processor, there
must be a tight connection between the heatsink base and the top of the processor. To ensure this
connection, a thermal grease compound must be used.
To replace or install a p r ocessor:
1. Using a clean cloth dipped in rubbing alcohol, clea n t he surface of the heatsin k b a se (contact
area) and the top of new processor. Ensure that both surfaces are clean and that no particles or
dust contaminants are evident.
2. Apply the thermal grease compound to the top of the processor (the contact surface).
CAUTION: HP recommend s thermal grea se of X-23-7783D made by Shin-Etsu.
3. Use the edge o f a razor blade to spr ead the grease throughout the en tire contact surface and
lightly scrape off any excess grease. Make sur e t hat you only apply a very thin layer so that the
contact sur face is still visible.
CAUTION: Never touch the contact area of the processor. Any contaminant could prevent the
mounting pads from making contact with the socket.
CAUTION: Applying too m uch grease creates a gap between the contact surfac es, significantly
reducing the ability of t h e cooler to draw out heat. Instal lin g t h e cooler with excessiv e grease can
also cause the grease to spread over the processor pins or the system board base, which can cause
electrical shorts that damage the system.

Removal and replacement procedures 47
To install the new processor:
1. Carefully inse rt t h e p r oce ssor into the processor in st a llation tool. Handle the pr ocessor by the
edges only, and do not touch the bottom of the processor, especially the contact area.
Figure 3-24 Inserting the processor

Removal and replacement procedures 48
2. Be sure the tool is orient ed correctly. Align the pr oce ssor installation tool wit h th e socket, and
then install the processor. THE PINS ON THE SYSTEM BOARD ARE VERY FRAGILE AND EASILY
DAMAGED.
Figure 3-25 Installing the processor
CAUTION: THE PINS ON THE SYSTEM BOARD ARE VERY FRAGILE AND EASILY DAMAGED. To avoid
damage to the system board:

Diagnostic Tools and Setup Utilities
This chapter prov ides an overview of the Power-On Self-Test (POST), the POST error messages, and
BIOS, SAS and SATA setup utilities.
BIOS Software
The ProLiant ML150 G6 server uses BIOS to boot up t h e system. BIOS software is a ROM BIOS-based
firmware that a l lows reliability, manageability, and connectivity for server platforms. This software
contains a set of programs permanently stored in an EEPROM chipset located on the system board.
These programs assist in managing, initializing, and testing the hardware devices installed on the
computer.
BIOS software a llows you to:
• Perform configura t ion from the BIOS Setup Utilit y
Using the Setup Utility, you can install, configure, and optimize the hardware devices on the
system board. In addition, you can enable various features such as serial console redirection,
hyper-threading, PXE boot, and much more.
• Initialize hardware at boot up using POST rout in es
During power-on or wa rm reset, the BIOS performs Power-On Self Test (POST) routines to test
system components, to allocate resource for various hardware devices, and to prepare the
system to boot to various operating systems.
BIOS Setup Utility
The BIOS Setup Utility provides the user with general system in formation and allows t h e u ser to
configure th e server for opti mum performa n ce and security. If any operational p roblems occur after
changing BIOS parameters, the BIOS Setup Utility allows the user to restore the server to the default
or failsafe values.

the USB disk.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to finish the flashing of the BIOS.

Diagnostic Tools and Setup Utilities 91
Clearing CMOS
The Setup configuration values stored in battery-backed memory (CMOS) may need to be cleared if
the configuration has been corrupted or if incorrect settings made in the Setup Utility have caused
error messages to be unreadable.
NOTE: Clearing CMOS deletes all system configuration s and password settings.
To clear CMOS:
1. Power down the server.
2. Disconne ct t he power cord( s) f r om the server.
3. If necessar y, unlock the front bezel.
4. Remove the side access panel .
5. Locate the CMOS Clear jumper (JP12) on the system board (refer to the “System Board
Components, Switches, and Indicators” section in Chapter 5.
6. If necessary, remove any expansion boards or cables that prevent access to the CMOS Clear
jumper.
7. Plugged the C MO S Clear jumper.
8. If necessary, reinstall any expansion boards and cables.
9. Replace the access panel.
10. Reconnect the power cord(s).
11. Power up the server, and during POST, press F10 to access the Setup Utility.
12. Load setup defaults by pressing F9.
13. Set time, d ate, and other syst em values as nec essary.
14. Press F10 to close the Setup Utility.
Power-On Self Test
Before the server can be used, all devices must be tested and initialized, and the operating system
must be bootstrapped to the memory. This is referred to as Power–On Self Test or POST. POST is a
series of dia gnostic tests that checks firmware and hardw are components on the system to ensure that
the server is properly functioning. This diagnostic function automatically runs each time the server is
powered on.
These diagnostics, which reside in the BIOS ROM, isolate serve r-related logic failures and in d icate the
board or component that you need to replace, as indicated by the err or messages. Most server
hardware failures will be accurately isolated during POST. The number of tests displayed depends on
the configur ation of the server.
During POST you can:
• Press ESC to skip the HP logo an d go t o P OST boot progress display system summary screen.
• Press F7 to display the Boot menu.
• Press F10 to access the Setup Utility.
• Press F12 to request a network boot (PXE).

POST Error Indicators
When POST detects a system failure, it displays a POST error message.
Recoverable POST Errors
Whenever a non-fatal error occurs during POST, an error message describing the problem appears
onscreen. Th ese error messages are displayed in normal video (white text on black background), and
show the details of the error. The following is an exa mple of a POST error message:

POST Related Troubleshooting
The POST is an important routine that checks the basic functions of the server during the boot process.
Perform the following procedures when POST fails to run, displays error messages, or emit s beep
codes.
If the POST fails durin g b oot up (displays error messages, or em i ts beep codes), c h eck the following:
• All external cab les an d power cables should be firm ly plugged in.
• The power outlet to which the server is connected and is working.
• The server and monitor are both turned on. The bi-color status LED indicator on the front panel
must be lit up green.
• The monitor's contrast and brightness settings are correct.
• All internal cab les a re p r operly connected and all boards firmly seated.
• The process o r is fully seated in its socket on the syst em board.
• The heatsink assembly is properly insta l led on top of the pro cessor.
• All memory modules a re p roperly installed.
• If you have installed a PCI accessory board, verify that the board is firmly seated and any
switches or jumpers on the board are properly set. Refer to the documentation provided with the
accessory board.
• All internal cabling and connections are in their proper order.
• Verify that each switch on the system board is properly set, especially if any switch positions
have been changed p r ior to booting the server.
NMI button
The system board has a Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI) button (SW3) that provides a diagnostic
function when the server is in an unrecoverable state (locked up or “hung”). The NMI button, when
pressed, allows a memory dump to be performed and crash dump files to be created before a hard
reset (power cycle) is performed. This funct io n requires support from the operating system (O S).
CAUTION: The NMI button i s fo r diagnostic purp oses only and sh o uld never be pressed w hile the
server is opera t in g n ormally. Pressing this button while the server is in normal operation will cause
the system to halt immediately.
NOTE: The NMI button may not work in some situations, such as if an NMI has already occurred or
if the OS crash handler is unable to run properly.
