There are four processor module sockets per cell board and each socket will accept a dual-core processor so each cell can hold up to eight processors. • One cell controller (CC) per cell board. • All CPUs and cell controllers on the cell boards are cooled with turbo cooler fans. • Four embedded hard disk drives. Available sizes are 36GB, 73GB, and 146GB drives. • Two internal DVD drives or one DVD drive and one 40GB DDS-4 DAT drive. • Nine front chassis mounted N+1 fans. • Twelve rear chassis mounted N+1 fans. • Six N+1 PCI-X card cage fans. • Six N+1 bulk power supplies. • Two PCI power supplies • Sixteen PCI-X slots divided into two partitions. Each partition can accommodate up to eight PCI cards. • Two core I/O cards. • Four 220 VAC power plugs. Two are required and the other two provide power source redundancy. 1. The U is a unit of measurement specifying product height. 1 U is equal to 1.75 inches. 12 Chapter 1 Introduction Overview Figure 1-1 • HP 9000 rp8420 server with mounted bezel (Front View) Depth: Defined by cable management constraints to fit into a standard 36-inch deep rack: 25.5 inches from front rack column to PCI connector surface 26.7 inches from front rack column to core I/O card connector surface 30 inches overall package dimension, including 2.7 inches protruding in front of the front rack columns • Width: 17.5 inches, constrained by electronic industries alliance (EIA) standard 19-inch racks • Height: 17U (29.55 inches), constrained by package density Chapter 1 13 Introduction Overview See Figure 1-2 on page 15 for component location. The mass storage section located in the front allows access to removable media drives without removal of the bezel (bezel removed in figure). The mass storage bay accommodates two 5.25-inch removable media drives and up to four 3.5-inch hard disk drives. The front panel display, containing LEDs and the system power switch, is located directly above the hard drive media bays. Below the mass storage section and behind the removable bezel are two PCI DC-to-DC power supplies. Each PCI power supply will provide power requirements for only one PCI-X I/O partition. Enclosed with protective finger guards are nine front online replace (OLR) fan modules. When facing the front of the server, the cell boards are located on the right side of the product behind a removable side cover. Rack cabinet front doors are more often hinged on the left, which restricts the cell board to be extracted or inserted from the right. 14 Chapter 1 Introduction Overview The bulk power supply is partitioned through the use of a sealed metallic enclosure located in the bottom of the server. This enclosure houses the N+1 fully redundant bulk power supplies. These power supplies are installed from the front of the server after removing the front bezel. The power supply is 2.45 X 5.625 X 20.0 inches.

The PCI-X I/O card section, located in upper rear of server, is accessed by removing the top cover. The PCI-X OLR fan modules are located opposite PCI-X card bulkheads. They are housed in blue plastic carriers. The two redundant core I/O cards are positioned vertically, one above the other, at the rear of the chassis. The PCI-X card bulkhead connectors are located at the top rear. The 12 rear OLR fans house 120-mm exhaust fans. Redundant power line cords attach to the AC power receptacles at the bottom rear. Two 20-amp cords are required to power the HP 9000 rp8420 server. Two additional 20-amp cords provide redundancy. When facing the front of the server, access the system backplane by removing the left side cover (cover shown installed in figure). The system backplane hinges from the lower edge and is anchored at the top with a large blue, single jack screw assembly. The SCSI ribbon cable assembly (not shown in figure) is connected on the opposite side of the cell board connectors of the system backplane, towards the rear of the server near the core I/O boards. The blue deployment handles at the base of the server sides (not shown in figure) hinge outward to manually lift and place the server onto a cabinet slide rack. 16 Chapter 1 Introduction Overview Front Panel Front Panel Indicators and Controls The front panel, located on the front of the server, includes the power switch and status LEDs. See Figure 1-4. Status LEDs The following status LEDs are on the front panel: • Standby Power status LED (green) • MP (Management Processor) Present status LED (green) • Status LEDs: Run (green), Fault (red), Attention (yellow), and Power (green) LEDs • Remote port status LED (green) Figure 1-4 Front Panel LEDs and Power Switch RUN Attention Fault Remote MP Present Standby Power Power Power Switch Cell Board The cell board contains the processors, main memory, and the cell controller (CC) application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) that interfaces the processors and memory to the I/O. The CC provides a connection that allows communication with other cell boards in the system. It connects to the processor-dependent hardware (PDH) and micro controller hardware. Each cell board holds up to 16 DIMMS. There can be one to four cell boards installed in an HP 9000 rp8420 server. A cell board can be selectively powered down for cell replacement without affecting cells in other configured partitions. System Backplane The server backplane board contains a pair of crossbar chips (XBC), the clock generation logic, the reset generation logic, some power regulators, and two local bus adapter (LBA) chips that create internal PCI buses for communicating with the core I/O cards. The backplane also contains connectors for attaching the cell boards, PCI-X backplane, MP core I/O cards, SCSI cables, bulk power, chassis fans, front panel display, intrusion switches, external system bus adaptor (SBA) link connectors, and the system scan card. I/O Subsystem All of the I/O is integrated into the system by way of the PCI busses. The CC on each cell board communicates with one system bus adapter (SBA). The SBA converts the SBA link protocol into “ropes.” A rope is defined as a high-speed, point-to-point data bus. The SBA can support up to 16 of these high-speed bi-directional links for a total aggregate bandwidth of approximately 4GB/s. The server supports a maximum of two SBAs with the capability of supporting an additional two SBAs in an externally connected I/O cabinet known as the HP Server Expansion Unit. There are LBA chips on the PCI-X backplane that act as a bus bridge, supporting either one or two ropes and capable of driving 33 MHz or 66 MHz for PCI cards. The LBAs can also drive at 66 MHz or 133 MHz for PCI-X cards. Chapter 1 17 Introduction Overview The PCI-X backplane is physically one board but behaves as two independent partitions.

Check equipment after the packing has been removed. This chapter discusses how to inspect and receive the HP 9000 rp8420 server. Chapter 2 21 Installation Inspecting the Server Cabinet Inspecting the Server Cabinet NOTE The server will ship in one of three different configurations. The configurations are: • on a pallet installed in a server cabinet • on a pallet for rack mount into an existing cabinet on the customer site • on a pallet with a wheel kit for installation as a stand-alone server HP shipping containers are designed to protect their contents under normal shipping conditions. After the equipment arrives at the customer site, carefully inspect each carton for signs of shipping damage. A tilt indicator is installed on each carton shipped. The beads in the indicator will roll to the upper position if the container has been tilted to an angle that could cause equipment damage. The tilt indicator itself will have two windows and each window under normal conditions will show four beads present. If a carton has been mishandled, accidentally dropped, or knocked against something, the tilt indicator will indicate missing beads. If damage is found, document the damage with photographs and contact the transport carrier immediately. Examine the server cabinet for visible shipping damage. After unpacking the cabinet, check for damage that may have been obscured by the shipping container. If damage is found after visual inspection, document the damage with photographs and contact the transport carrier immediately. If the equipment has any damage, a damage claim form must be obtained by the customer from the shipping representative. The customer should complete the form and return it to the shipping representative. NOTE The factory provides an installation warranty that is effective from the time the customer receives the shipment until Field Services turns the system over to the customer. Upon inspection of a received system and during installation of the system, if any parts or accessories are missing or defective, they will be replaced directly from the factory by a priority process. To request replacement parts, the HP Installation Specialist must contact the local Order Fulfillment group which will coordinate the replacement with the factory. 22 Chapter 2 Installation Receiving the Server Cabinet Receiving the Server Cabinet This section contains information about unpacking a server installed in a cabinet.

Chapter 2 47 Installation Installing Accessories PCI I/O Card Installation HP 9000 rp8420 servers implement manual retention latch (MRL) hardware for use in online add or replacement (OLAR) operations. If an MRL is left open while the server is booting, HP-UX can incorrectly cache PCI slot power status causing OLAR operations to fail. To prevent this situation, ensure all the MRLs are closed before booting the server. If OLAR reports that a slot is present and powered off, but no OLAR operations to turn power on to that slot have succeeded even after the MRL is closed, the MRL may have been left open during boot. To clear this condition, close the MRL for the PCI slot then power off the PCI slot using the rad -o command. This will allow future OLAR operations to succeed on this PCI slot. IMPORTANT PCI I/O card installation procedures should be downloaded from the http://docs.hp.com Web site. Background information and procedures for adding a new PCI I/O card using online addition are found in the Interface Card OL* Support Guide. Prerequisites for Adding a PCI I/O Card Using the Attention Button The prerequisites for this procedure are: • Drivers for the card have already been installed. • There are no drivers associated with the slot. • The green power LED is steady OFF. Should the empty slot be in the ON state use the olrad command or the pdweb tool to power the slot OFF. • The yellow attention LED is steady OFF or is blinking if a user has requested the slot location. • Refer to the host bus adapter (HBA) documentation for details on card installation. • Run the olrad -q command to determine the status of all the PCI I/O slots. • Obtain a copy of the interface card guide for instructions on preparing the operating system for the online addition of the PCI I/O card before attempting to insert a PCI I/O card into the PCI-X card cage assembly backplane slot. CAUTION Observe all ESD safety precautions before attempting this procedure. Failure to follow ESD safety precautions could result in damage to the server. This procedure describes how to perform an online addition of a PCI card using the attention button for cards whose drivers support OLAR. The attention button is also referred to as the doorbell. Step 1. Remove the top cover. Step 2. Remove the PCI bulkhead filler panel. Step 3. Flip the PCI manual release latch for the card slot to the open position. See Figure 2-18. Step 4. Install the new PCI card in the slot. NOTE A slow, firm pressure is needed to properly seat the card into the backplane. Step 5. Flip the PCI manual release latch for the card slot to the closed position. 48 Chapter 2 Installation Installing Accessories CAUTION Working out of sequence or not completing the actions within each step could cause the system to crash. Do not press the attention button until the latch is locked. Step 6. Press the attention button. The green power LED will start to blink. Figure 2-18 PCI I/O Slot Details Manual Release Latch Closed Manual Release Latch Open Attention Button Power LED (Green) Attention LED (Yellow) Step 7. Wait for the green power LED to stop blinking and remain solid green. Step 8. Check for errors in the hotplugd daemon log file (default: /var/adm/hotplugd.log). The critical resource analysis (CRA) performed while doing an attention button initiated add action is very restrictive and the action will not complete—it will fail—to protect critical resources from being impacted. For finer control over CRA actions use pdweb or the olrad command. Refer to the Interface Card OL* Support Guide located on the Web at http://docs.hp.com for details. Step 9. Replace the top cover. Step 10. Connect all cables to the installed PCI card. Chapter 2 49 Installation Cabling and Power Up Cabling and Power Up After the system has been unpacked and moved into position, it must be connected to a source of AC power. The AC power must be checked for the proper voltage before the system is powered up. This chapter describes these activities. Voltage Check This section provides voltage check information for use on the customer site. The emphasis is on measuring the voltages at the power cord plug end specified as an IEC-320 C19 type plug. This is the end that plugs directly into the back of the server cabinet. NOTE 50 These procedures need to be performed for each power cord that will be plugged directly into the back of the server cabinet. If the expected results from this procedure are not observed during the voltage check, See the section titled “Voltage Check (Additional Procedure)” on page 54. Chapter 2 Installation Cabling and Power Up Voltage Range Verification of Receptacle This measures the voltage between L1 and L2, L1 to ground, and L2 to ground. Three separate measurements are performed during this procedure. See Figure 2-19 for voltage reference points when performing the following measurements. Figure 2-19 Voltage Reference Points for IEC-320 C19 Plug GND Step 2 V V L1 Step 3 L2 V Step 1 IMPORTANT These measurements must be performed for every power cord that plugs into the HP 9000 rp8420 server. Step 1. Measure the voltage between L1 and L2. This is considered to be a phase-to-phase measurement in North America. In Europe and certain parts of Asia-Pacific, this measurement is referred to as a phase-to-neutral measurement. The expected voltage should be between 200–240 VAC regardless of the geographic region. Step 2. Measure the voltage between L1 and ground. In North America, verify this voltage is between 100–120 VAC. In Europe and certain parts of Asia-Pacific, verify this voltage is between 200–240 VAC. Step 3. Measure the voltage between L2 and ground. In North America, verify this voltage is between 100–120 VAC. In Europe and certain parts of Asia-Pacific, verify this voltage is 0 (zero) VAC. Table 2-3 provides single-phase voltage measurement examples dependent on the geographic region where these measurements are taken. Table 2-3 Single-Phase Voltage Examples Japan North America Europea L1-L2 210V 208V or 240V 230V L1-GND 105V 120V 230V L2-GND 105V 120V 0V a. In some European countries there might not be a polarization. Chapter 2 51 Installation Cabling and Power Up Safety Ground Verification (Single Power Source) This procedure measures the voltage level between A0 and A1. The voltage level between B0 and B1 will also be verified. All measurements will be taken between ground pins. See Figure 2-20 for ground reference points when performing these measurements. Figure 2-20 Safety Ground Reference Check—Single Power Source Step 1 V GND L1 GND L2 L1 L2 A1 A0 Step 2 V GND L1 GND L2 B0 L1 L2 B1 Step 1. Measure the voltage between A0 and A1. Take the AC voltage down to the lowest scale on the volt meter. One probe is inserted into the ground pin for A0. The other probe is inserted into the ground pin for A1. Verify that the measurement is between 0–5 VAC. If the measurement is 5 V or greater, escalate the situation. Do not attempt to plug the power cords into the server cabinet. Step 2. Measure the voltage between B0 and B1. Take the AC voltage down to the lowest scale on the volt meter. One probe will be inserted into the ground pin for B0. The other probe will be inserted into the ground pin for B1. Verify that the measurement is between 0–5 VAC. If the measurement is 5 V or greater, escalate the situation. Do not attempt to plug the power cords into the server cabinet. 52 Chapter 2 Installation Cabling and Power Up Safety Ground Verification (Dual Power Source) This procedure measures the voltage level between A0 and A1, between B0 and B1, between A0 and B0, and between A1 and B1. All measurements will be taken between ground pins. See Figure 2-21 for ground reference points when performing these measurements. Figure 2-21 Safety Ground Reference Check—Dual Power Source Step 1 V GND GND L1 L1 L2 A0 L2 A1 Step 2 Step 3 V V Step 4 V GND L1 GND L2 B0 L1 L2 B1 Step 1. Measure the voltage between A0 and A1. Take the AC voltage down to the lowest scale on the volt meter. One probe is inserted into the ground pin for A0. The other probe is inserted into the ground pin for A1. Verify that the measurement is between 0–5 VAC. If the measurement is 5 V or greater, escalate the situation. Do not attempt to plug the power cords into the server cabinet. Step 2. Measure the voltage between B0 and B1. Take the AC voltage down to the lowest scale on the volt meter. One probe is inserted into the ground pin for B0. The other probe is inserted into the ground pin for B1. Verify that the measurement is between 0–5 VAC. If the measurement is 5 V or greater, escalate the situation. Do not attempt to plug the power cords into the server cabinet. Step 3. Measure the voltage between A0 and B0. Take the AC voltage down to the lowest scale on the volt meter. One probe is inserted into the ground pin for A0. The other probe is inserted into the ground pin for B0. Verify that the measurement is between 0–5 VAC. If the measurement is 5 V or greater, escalate the situation. Do not attempt to plug the power cords into the server cabinet. Step 4. Measure the voltage between A1 and B1. Take the AC voltage down to the lowest scale on the volt meter. One probe is inserted into the ground pin for A1. The other probe is inserted into the ground pin for B1. Verify that the measurement is between 0–5 VAC. If the measurement is 5 V or greater, escalate the situation. Do not attempt to plug the power cords into the server cabinet. Chapter 2 53 Installation Cabling and Power Up Voltage Check (Additional Procedure) The voltage check ensures that all phases (and neutral, for international systems) are connected correctly to the cabinet and that the AC input voltage is within limits. Perform this procedure if the previous voltage check procedure did not yield the expected results as previously outlined. NOTE If a UPS is used, refer to applicable UPS documentation for information on connecting the server and checking the UPS output voltage. UPS User Manual documentation is shipped with the UPS. Documentation can also be found at http://www.hp.com/racksolutions Step 1. Verify that site power is OFF. Step 2. Open the site circuit breakers. Step 3. Verify that the receptacle ground connector is connected to ground. See Figure 2-22 for connector details. Step 4. Set the site power circuit breaker to ON. Figure 2-22 Wall Receptacle Pinouts X Y X X Y G GND CEE 7/7 GND IEC 309/16A Y GND X Y GND L6 - 20 GB - 1002 Step 5. Verify that the voltage between receptacle pins X and Y is between 200–240 VAC. Step 6. Set the site power circuit breaker to OFF. Step 7. Ensure that power is removed from the server. Step 8. Route and connect the server power connector to the site power receptacle. a. For locking type receptacles, line up the key on the plug with the groove in the receptacle. b. Push the plug into the receptacle and rotate to lock the connector in place. WARNING Do not set site AC circuit breakers serving the processor cabinets to ON before verifying that the cabinet has been wired into the site AC power supply correctly. Failure to do so can result in injury to personnel or damage to equipment when AC power is applied to the cabinet. Step 9. Set the site power circuit breaker to ON. 54 Chapter 2 Installation Cabling and Power Up WARNING SHOCK HAZARD Risk of shock hazard while testing primary power. Use properly insulated probes. Be sure to replace access cover when finished testing primary power. Step 10. Set the server power to ON. Step 11. Check that the indicator light on each power supply is lit. Connecting AC Input Power The server can receive AC input from two different AC power sources. If two separate power sources are available, each source can be plugged into the server, increasing system reliability if one power source fails. The main power source is defined to be A0 and A1. The redundant power source is defined to be B0 and B1. See Figure 2-23 for the AC power input label scheme. Chapter 2 55 Installation Cabling and Power Up IMPORTANT When running the server with a single power source, you must use A0 and A1. Selecting redundant power requires all four power cords connected to A0-A1-B0-B1. Figure 2-23 AC Power Input Labeling B1 A1 B0 A0 The power distribution for the bulk power supplies (BPS) follows: • A0 input provides power to BPS 0, BPS 1, and BPS 2 • A1 input provides power to BPS 3, BPS 4, and BPS 5 • B0 input provides power to BPS 0, BPS 1, and BPS 2 • B1 input provides power to BPS 3, BPS 4, and BPS 5 56 Chapter 2 Installation Cabling and Power Up For information on how input power cords supply power to each BPS, see Figure 2-24. Figure 2-24 Distribution of Input Power for Each BPS BPS 5 BPS 4 BPS 3 B1 A1 Power Source B BPS 2 BPS 1 B0 BPS 0 A0 Power Source A WARNING Voltage is present at various locations within the server whenever a power source is connected. This voltage is present even when the main power switch is in the off position. To completely remove power, all power cords must be removed from the server. Failure to comply could result in personal injury or damage to equipment. CAUTION Do not route data and power cables together in the same cable management arm. Do not route data and power cables in parallel paths in close proximity to each other. The suggested minimum distance that the data and power cables should be apart is 3 inches (7.62 cm). The power cord has current flowing through it, which creates a magnetic field. The potential to induce electromagnetic interference in the data cables exist, which can cause data corruption. The server can accomodate a total of six BPSs. N+1 BPS capability describes the server having adequate BPSs plus one additional module installed. If one BPS fails, adequate power will still be supplied to the cell board(s) to keep the server partition(s) operational. Replace the failed BPS promptly to restore N+1 functionality. A minimum of two BPS are required to bring up a single cell board installed in the server. This minimum configuration is not N+1 capable. See Table 2-4 for BPS to cell board N+1 configurations. Chapter 2 57 Installation Cabling and Power Up IMPORTANT The minimum supported N+1 BPS configuration for one cell board must have BPS slots 0, 1, and 3 populated. When selecting a single power source, the power cords are connected into A0 and A1. Table 2-4 BPS to Cell Board Configuration to Achieve N+1 Number of Cell Boards Installed in the Server Number of Operational BPS Installed to Achieve N+1 Functionality 1 3 2 4 3 5 4 6 NOTE Label the AC power cords during the installation. One suggestion is to use tie wraps that have the flag molded into the tie wrap. The flag can be labeled using the appropriate two characters to represent the particular AC power input (for example, A0). Another suggestion would be to use color-coded plastic bands. Use one color to represent the first pair A0/A1 and another color to represent the second pair B0/B1 (provided a second power source is available at the customer site). Applying Power to the HP 9000 rp8420 server Observe the functionality of the server before attaching any LAN or serial cables, the system console, or any peripherals to the server. Then, after applying an active AC power source to the server, make the following observations at three different intervals, or points in time. INTERVAL ONE The power has just been applied to the server but the front panel On/Off switch is Off. The front air intake fans will flash a dim red color, the BPS will flash amber and an amber light is present on the hard disk drives. INTERVAL TWO After the power has been plugged into the server for about 30 seconds, the standby power turns on and the front intake fan LED indicators turn solid green. The BPS will flash green and the amber light is still present on the hard disk drives. The front panel On/Off switch is Off at this interval. Housekeeping power is up at this point. INTERVAL THREE With the On/Off switch on the front of the server set to On, the intake fans spin up and become noticeably audible while the LED indicator remains solid green. The BPS LED indicator turns a solid green and the PCI backplane power supply LED indicators turn solid green. The hard disk drive LED turns green briefly and then the LED turns off. 58 Chapter 2 Installation Cabling and Power Up Installing the Line Cord Anchor (rack mounted servers) The line cord anchor is attached to the rear of the server when rack mounted. It provides a method to secure the line cords to the server, preventing accidental removal of the cords from the server. Four Cell Server Installation (rp8400, rp8420, rp8440, rx8620, rx8640) There are holes pre-drilled, and captive nuts pre-installed in the server chassis. To install the line cord anchor: 1. Align the line cord anchor thumbscrews with the corresponding captive nuts at the rear of the chassis. See Figure 2-25, “Four Cell Line Cord Anchor (rp8400, rp8420, rp8440, rx8620, rx8640),” Figure 2-25 Four Cell Line Cord Anchor (rp8400, rp8420, rp8440, rx8620, rx8640) 2. Tighten the captive thumbscrews to secure the line cord anchor to the chassis. 3. Weave the power cables through the line cord anchor. Leave enough slack that the plugs can be disconnected from the receptacles without removing the cords from the line cord anchor Chapter 2 59 Installation Cabling and Power Up 4. Use the supplied Velcro straps to attach the cords to the anchor. See Figure 2-26, “Line Cord Anchor and Velcro Straps,” Figure 2-26 Line Cord Anchor and Velcro Straps Velcro Straps MP Core I/O Connections Each HP 9000 rp8420 server has at least one core I/O card installed. Each core I/O card has a management processor (MP). If two core I/O cards are installed, this allows for two partitions to be configured or enables core I/O redundancy in a single partition configuration. Each core I/O card is oriented vertically and accessed from the back of the server. The core I/O board is used to update firmware, access the console, turn partition power on and off, and utilize other features of the system. External connections to the core I/O board include the following: • One Ultra3 (160MB/sec) 68-pin SCSI port for connection to external SCSI devices by a very high density cable interconnect (VHDCI) connector. • One RJ-45 style 10Base-T/100Base-T/1000Base-T system LAN connector. This LAN uses standby power and is active when AC is present and the front panel power switch is off. • One RJ-45 style 10Base-T/100Base-T MP LAN connector. This LAN uses standby power and is active when AC is present and the front panel power switch is off. This LAN is also active when the front power switch is on. • Three RS-232 connectors provide connections for a local console, remote console, and a UPS. UPS port—A system serial port for connection to a UPS or another system application. The port is located near the top of the core I/O card near the external SCSI connector when the card is installed in the server chassis. Remote console port—A remote serial port for connection to a modem. The port is located in the middle of the three RS-232 connectors. 60 Chapter 2 Installation Cabling and Power Up Local console port—A local serial port for connection to a terminal. The port is located at the bottom of the core I/O card when the card is installed in the server chassis. Internal connections for the core I/O board include the following: • Three single-ended (SE) internal SCSI buses for internal devices. These buses are routed to the system board where they are cabled to a mass storage backplane. Setting Up the CE Tool (PC) The CE Tool is usually a laptop. It allows communication with the MP in the server. The MP monitors the activity of either a one-partition or a multiple-partition configuration. During installation, communicating with the MP enables such tasks as: • Verifying that the components are present and installed correctly • Setting LAN IP addresses • Shutting down cell board power Communication with the MP is established by connecting the CE Tool to the local RS-232 port on the core I/O card. Setting CE Tool Parameters After powering on the CE Tool, ensure the communications settings are as follows: • 8/none (parity) • 9600 baud • None (receive) • None (transmit) Chapter 2 61 Installation Cabling and Power Up If the CE Tool is a laptop using Reflection 1, check or change these communications settings using the following procedure: 1. From the Reflection 1 Main screen, pull down the Connection menu and select Connection Setup. 2. Select Serial Port. 3. Select Com1. 4. Check the settings and change, if required. Go to More Settings to set Xon/Xoff. Click OK to close the More Settings window. 5. Click OK to close the Connection Setup window. 6.

Connect the other end of the RS-232 cable to the CE Tool. Turning On Housekeeping Power and Logging In to the MP After connecting the serial display device, the power to the server cabinet is ready to be supplied to get a login prompt for the MP. Connecting the power cords allows power to flow to the BPS located at the front of the server cabinet, which in turn provides housekeeping power (HKP). Before powering up the server cabinet for the first time: 1. Verify that the AC voltage at the input source is within specifications for each server cabinet being installed. 2. If not already done, power on the serial display device. The preferred tool is the CE Tool running Reflection 1. To power on the MP, set up a communications link, and log in to the MP: Chapter 2 63 Installation Cabling and Power Up 1. Apply power to the server cabinet. Apply power to any other server cabinets that were shipped to the customer site. On the front of the server, a solid green Standby Power, and a solid green MP Present light will illuminate after about 30 seconds. Figure 2-28 Front Panel Display RUN Attention Fault Remote MP Present Standby Power Power Power Switch 2. Check the BPS LED for each BPS. See Figure 2-29 on page 65 for the LED location. When on, the breakers distribute power to the BPS. AC power is present at the BPS: 64 • When power is first applied. Observe the BPS LEDs will be flashing amber. • After 30 seconds have elapsed. Observe the flashing amber BPS LED for each BPS becomes a flashing green LED. Chapter 2 Installation Cabling and Power Up Figure 2-29 BPS LED Location BPS LED Location 3. Log in to the MP: a.

NOTE If the partition fails to boot or if the server was shipped without Instant Ignition, booting from a DVD that contains the operating system and other necessary software might be required. Adding Processors with Instant Capacity On Demand The Instant Capacity On Demand (iCOD) program provides access to additional CPU resources beyond the amount that was purchased for the server. This provides the ability to activate additional CPU power for unexpected growth and unexpected spikes in workloads. Chapter 2 73 Installation Cabling and Power Up Internally, iCOD systems physically have more CPUs, called iCOD CPUs, than the number of CPUs actually purchased. These iCOD CPUs reside in the purchased system, but they belong to HP and therefore are HP assets. A nominal “Right-To-Access Fee” is paid to HP for each iCOD processor in the system. At any time, any number of iCOD CPUs can be “activated.” Activating an iCOD CPU automatically and instantaneously transforms the iCOD CPU into an instantly ordered and fulfilled CPU upgrade that requires payment. After the iCOD CPU is activated and paid for, it is no longer an iCOD CPU, but is now an ordered and delivered CPU upgrade for the system. The most current information on installing, configuring, and troubleshooting iCOD can be found at http://docs.hp.com NOTE 74 Ensure that the customer is aware of the iCOD email requirements. Refer to http://docs.hp.com for further details.
