1 Installing the System
This chapter describes installation of HP Integrity Superdome/sx2000 and HP 9000/sx2000
systems. Installers must have received adequate training, be knowledgeable about the product,
and have a good overall background in electronics and customer hardware installation.
Introduction
The instructions in this chapter are written for Customer Support Consultants (CSC) who are
experienced at installing complex systems. This chapter provides details about each step in the
sx2000 installation process. Some steps must be performed before others can be completed
successfully. To avoid undoing and redoing an installation step, follow the installation sequences
outlined in this chapter.
Communications Interference
HP system compliance tests are conducted with HP supported peripheral devices and shielded
cables, such as those received with the system. The system meets interference requirements of all
countries in which it is sold. These requirements provide reasonable protection against interference
with radio and television communications.
Installing and using the system in strict accordance with instructions provided by HP minimizes the
chances that the system will cause radio or television interference. However, HP does not guarantee
that the system will not interfere with radio and television reception.
Take the following precautions:
•Use only shielded cables.
•Install and route the cables according to the instructions provided.
•Ensure that all cable connector screws are firmly tightened.
•Use only HP supported peripheral devices.
•Ensure that all panels and cover plates are in place and secure before turning on the system.
Electrostatic Discharge
HP systems and peripherals contain assemblies and components that are sensitive to electrostatic
discharge (ESD).
CAUTION: Carefully observe the precautions and recommended procedures in this document to
prevent component damage from static electricity.
Take the following precautions:
•Always wear a grounded wrist strap when working on or around system components.
•Treat all assemblies, components, and interface connections as static-sensitive.
•When unpacking cards, interfaces, and other accessories that are packaged separately from
the system, keep the accessories in their non-conductive plastic bags until you are ready to
install them.
•Before removing or replacing any components or installing any accessories in the system,
select a work area in which potential static sources are minimized, preferably an antistatic
work station.
•Avoid working in carpeted areas and keep body movement to a minimum while installing
accessories.
6 Installing the System
Public Telecommunications Network Connection
Instructions are issued to the installation site that modems cannot be connected to public
telecommunications networks until full datacomm licenses are received for the country of installation.
Some countries do not require datacomm licenses. The product regulations engineer must review
beta site locations, and if datacomm licenses are not complete, ensure that the installation site is
notified officially and in writing that the product cannot be connected to public telecommunications
networks until the license is received.
Unpacking and Inspecting the System
This section describes what to do before unpacking the server and how to unpack the system itself.
WARNING! Do not attempt to move the cabinet, packed or unpacked, up or down an incline
of more than 15 degrees.
Verifying Site Preparation
Verifying site preparation includes gathering LAN information and verifying electrical requirements.
Gathering LAN Information
The Support Management Station (SMS) connects to the customer’s LAN. Determine the appropriate
IP address.
Verifying Electrical Requirements
The site must be verified for proper grounding and electrical requirements prior to the system being
shipped to the customer as part of the site preparation. Before unpacking and installing the system,

Inspecting the Shipping Containers for Damage
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.
WARNING! Do not attempt to move the cabinet, packed or unpacked, up or down an incline
of more than 15 degrees.
A tilt indicator is installed on the back and side of the cabinet shipping container (Figure 1
(page 8)). If the container is tilted to an angle that can cause equipment damage, the beads in
the indicator shift positions (Figure 2 (page 9)). If a carton has received a physical shock and
the tilt indicator is in an abnormal condition, visually inspect the unit for any signs of damage. If
damage is found, document the damage with photographs and contact the transport carrier
immediately.
Figure 1 Normal Tilt Indicator
8 Installing the System
Figure 2 Abnormal Tilt Indicator
NOTE: If the tilt indicator shows that an abnormal shipping condition has occurred, write “possible
hidden damage” on the bill of lading and keep the packaging.
Inspection Precautions
•When the shipment arrives, check each container against the carrier's bill of lading. Inspect
the exterior of each container immediately for mishandling or damage during transit. If any
of the containers are damaged, request the carrier's agent be present when the container is
opened.
•When unpacking the containers, inspect each item for external damage. Look for broken
controls and connectors, dented corners, scratches, bent panels, and loose components.
NOTE: HP recommends keeping the shipping container and the packaging material. If it becomes
necessary to repackage the cabinet, the original packing material is necessary.
If discarding the shipping container or packaging material, dispose of them in an environmentally
responsible manner (recycle, if possible).
Claims Procedures
If the shipment is incomplete, if the equipment is damaged, or it fails to meet specifications, notify
the nearest HP Sales and Service Office. If damage occurred in transit, notify the carrier as well.
HP will arrange for replacement or repair without waiting for settlement of claims against the
carrier. In the event of damage in transit, retain the packing container and packaging materials
for inspection.

Wiring Check
WARNING! LETHAL VOLTAGE HAZARD—Hazardous voltages can be present in the cabinet if
incorrectly wired into the site AC power supply. Always verify correct wiring and product grounding
before applying AC power to the cabinet. Failure to do so can result in injury to personnel and
damage to equipment.
Verify the following items before applying AC power to the cabinet:
•Cabinet safety ground connects to the site electrical system ground and is not left floating or
connected to a phase.
•The minimum required method of grounding is to connect the green power cord safety ground
to the site ground point through the power cord receptacle wiring. HP does not recommend
cabinet grounding. Treat cabinet grounding as auxiliary or additional grounding over and
above the ground wire included within the supplied power cord.
If the product ground is left floating, anyone coming into contact with the cabinet can receive a
lethal shock if a component fails and causes leakage or direct connection of phase energy to the
cabinet.
If the product ground connects to a phase, the server is over 200 volts above ground, presenting
a lethal shock hazard to anyone coming into contact with the product when site AC power is
applied to the product.
Verify the connection of the product ground to site AC power ground through a continuity check
between the cabinet and site AC power supply ground. Perform the continuity check while the site
AC power supply circuit breakers serving the cabinet and the cabinet circuit breaker are all set to
OFF.
To verify that the product ground connects to the site AC power supply ground, follow these steps:
30 Installing the System
1. Ensure that the site AC power supply circuit breakers serving the cabinet are set to OFF.
2. Ensure that the cabinet main circuit breaker is set to OFF.
3. Touch one test probe to the site AC power supply ground source.
4. Touch the other test probe to an unpainted metal surface of the cabinet.
NOTE: If the digital multimeter (DMM) leads can not reach from the junction box to the
cabinet, use a piece of wire connected to the ground terminal of the junction box.
5. Check for continuity indication of less than 0.1 ohm.
•If continuity is not found, check to ensure that the DMM test leads are making good contact
to unpainted metal and try again.
•If continuity is still not found, disconnect the cabinet site AC power immediately and notify
the customer of the probability of incorrectly wired AC power to the cabinet.
•If continuity is good, and connection of the cabinet to site AC power supply ground (and
not floating or connected to a phase) is verified, then check the voltage.
NOTE: For dual power sources, proceed to “Checking Voltage” (page 35) with special attention
to PDCA 0 ground pin to PDCA 1 ground pin voltage. Anything greater than 3 V is cause for
further investigation.
Installing and Verifying the PDCA
All systems are delivered with the appropriate cable plug for options 6 and 7 (Figure 25 (page 32)).
Check the voltages at the receptacle prior to plugging in the PDCA plug.
•To verify the proper wiring for a 4-wire PDCA, use a digital voltmeter (DVM) to measure the
voltage at the receptacle. Voltage must read 200–240 V ac phase-to-phase as measured
between the receptacle pins as follows: L1 to L2, L2 to L3, L1 to L3 (Figure 26 (page 32)).
•To verify the proper wiring for a 5-wire PDCA, use a DVM to measure the voltage at the
receptacle. Voltage must read 200–240 V ac phase-to-neutral as measured between the
receptacle pins as follows: L1 to N, L2 to N, L3 to N (Figure 27 (page 33)).

Connecting the Cables
The I/O cables are attached and tied inside the cabinet. When the system is installed, these cables
must be untied, routed, and connected to the cabinets where the other end of the cables terminate.
Use the following guidelines and Figure 34 to route and connect cables. For more information on
cable routing, see “Routing the I/O Cables” (page 38).
•Each cabinet is identified with a unique color. The cabinet color label is located at the top of
the cabinet.
•The colored label closest to the cable connector corresponds to the color of the cabinet to
which it is attached.
•The colored label farther away from the cable connector corresponds to the color of the cabinet
where the other end of the cable is attached. In Figure 34, the dotted lines show where the
label is located and where the cable terminates.
•Each cable is also labeled with a unique number. This number label is applied on both ends
of the cable and near the port where the cable is to be connected. In Figure 34, the cable
number labels are indicated by circled numbers, and the cabinet port numbers are indicated
with boxed numbers.
Figure 34 Cable Labeling
Routing the I/O Cables
Routing the cables is a significant task in the installation process. Efficient cable routing is important
not only for the initial installation, but also to aid in future service calls. The most efficient use of
space is to route cables so that they are not crossed or tangled. Figure 35 (page 39) illustrates
efficient I/O cable routing.
38 Installing the System
Figure 35 Routing I/O Cables
To route cables through the cable groomer at the bottom rear of the cabinet, follow these steps:
1. Remove the cable access plate at the bottom of the groomer.
2. Beginning at the front of the cabinet, route the cables using the following pattern:
a. Route the first cable on the left side of the leftmost card cage first. Route it under the PCI-X
card cage toward the back of the cabinet and down through the first slot at the right of
the cable groomer.
b. Route the second cable on the left side of the leftmost card cage to the right of the first
cable, and so on, until routing all of the cables in the card cage is complete.
The number and width of cables varies from system to system. Use judgment and the
customer’s present and estimated future needs to determine how many cables to route
through each cable groomer slot.
c. After routing the leftmost card cage at the front of the cabinet, route the cables in the
rightmost card cage at the back of the cabinet. Begin with the right cable in the card
cage and work toward the left.
d. After routing the cables in the rightmost card cage at the rear of the cabinet, return to the
front of the system and route the cables in the next card cage to the right.
e. Repeat steps a through d until all the cables are routed.
3. Connect the management processor cables last.
4. Reattach the cable access plate at the bottom of the cable groomer.
5. Reattach the cable groomer kick plate at the back of the cabinet.
6. Slip the L bracket under the power cord on the rear of the PDCA.
7. While holding the L bracket in place, insert the PDCA completely into the cabinet and secure
the L bracket with one screw.
Setting Up the System 39
Adding an IOX Cabinet
There are two (2) IOX cabinet designs available: AF034A and AF092A. Each are different in
design. They support the IOX mounted inside to connect the e-link cables to the Superdome server.
Ensure your customer's cabinet is identified correctly.
In Figure 36 (page 40), note that the AF034A cabinet on the left has 200mm length extension
added to the rear with custom vertical side access panels. These vertical openings are located
slightly above center height on either side to aid in e-link cable management routing.
On the right, the recently released AF092A rack is designed 200mm longer and requires that the
middle and top side panels adjacent to the host Superdome cabinet are removed for e-link cable
routing.
These views are from the front. Either IOX cabinet can be placed next to either side of the Superdome
cabinet(s).

To ensure that the network diagnostic is enabled at the MP prompt, enter the nd command;
MP:CM>nd. You must run nd to run scan and to do firmware updates to the system.
The JTAG Utility for Scan Tests (JUST) Exploration Tool (JET) collects system information for each
system on a network and places it in files for use by other scan tools. JET gathers configuration
data by executing a series of queries targeted at the MP and the CLU portion of the UGUY board.
IMPORTANT: You must resolve any problems you find as a result of running JET before booting
the operating system.
Running JUST
To run JUST to ensure that the hardware is working properly, follow these steps:
1. Enter jet_setup at the Windows® SMS command window or enter scan_setup at the
HP-UX SMS command window.
2. Enter the complex_name, IP address, and system type.
3. Enter jet -s <complex_name>.
4. Enter just -s <complex_name>.
See the JET User Guide, JUST Users Guide, and other related documentation for testing located
in:
•\opt\scansw\docs\stt directory on the Windows® Support Management Station
•/opt/scansw/docs/stt directory on the HP-UX Support Management Station
56 Installing the System
IMPORTANT: After scan testing successfully completes, reset the complex by cycling the AC
power.
Power Cycling After Using JET
After using JET, you must recycle the system power because the offline diagnostic can deallocate
the CPUs.
To remove the 48 V power, run the MP pe command. Then cycle the ac breakers on the rear of
the cabinets. Leave power off for about 30 seconds to allow the backplane CSRs to reset.
IMPORTANT: If the complex has any IOX cabinets with IDs 8 or 9, you must power cycle these
cabinets in the proper sequence.
Offline Diagnostic Environment
Now that scan has been run, you can run all the appropriate diagnostics for this system. See the
offline diagnostic environment (ODE) documentation for instructions.
Attaching the Rear Kick Plates
Kick plates protect cables from accidentally being disconnected or damaged and add an attractive
cosmetic touch to the cabinet. You must attach three metal kick plates to the bottom rear of the
cabinet.
To install the kick plates, follow these steps:
1. Hold the left kick plate in position and attach a clip nut (0590-2318) on the cabinet column
next to the hole in the flange at the top of the kick plate (Figure 54).
2. Using a screw (0515-0671) and a T-25 driver, attach the flange on the kick plate to the nut
clip.
3. Using a T-10 driver and a screw, attach the bottom of the kick plate to the center hole in the
leveling foot.

Figure 54 Attaching Rear Kick Plates
4. Perform steps 1–3 on the right kick plate.
5. Position the upper flange of the center kick plate under the I/O trays complementary mounting
bracket, to retain the center kick plate top flanges. No top screws are needed on the center
kick plate. Orient this asymmetrical bracket with the hole located nearest the edge in the up
position.
6. Using a T-20 driver, tighten the thumbscrews at the bottom of the center kick plate.
Performing a Visual Inspection and Completing the Installation
After booting the system, carefully inspect it and reinstall the EMI panels. To perform a final
inspection and complete the installation, follow these steps:
1. Visually inspect the system to verify that all components are in place and secure.
2. Check that the cables are secured and routed properly.
3. Check that the cell board ejectors are secure (Figure 55).
If the ejectors are broken or open, the cell board is disconnected.

4. Reinstall the front EMI panel (Figure 56).
Figure 56 Front EMI Panel Flange and Cabinet Holes
a. Hook the flange at the lower corners of the EMI panel into the holes on the cabinet.
b. Position the panel at the top lip, and lift the panel up while pushing the bottom into
position.
If needed, compress the EMI gasket to seat the panel properly.
c. Reattach the screw at the top of the EMI panel.
5. Check that the cables inside the rear enclosure are secure.

6. Reinstall the back EMI panel (Figure 57 (page 60)).
a. Align the lip inside the cabinet with the lip on the EMI panel.
Figure 57 Reinstalling the Back EMI Panel
b. Push the EMI panel up and in. If needed, compress the EMI gasket at the top of the
enclosure to get the panel to seat properly.
c. Reattach the screw at the bottom of the EMI panel.
Conducting a Post-Installation Check
After the system is installed in a computer room and verified, conduct the post-installation check.
Before turning the system over to the customer, inspect the system visually and clean up the
installation area. Perform the following:
•Inspect circuit boards. Verify that all circuit boards are installed and properly seated and that
the circuit board retainers are reinstalled.
•Inspect cabling. Ensure that all cables are installed, secured, and properly routed.
•Inspect test points. Verify that test leads are removed from the test points and that the test points
are properly covered.
•Clean up and dispose of debris. Remove all debris from the area and dispose of it properly.
•Perform final check. Inspect the area to ensure that all parts, tools, and other items used to
install the system are disposed of properly. Then close and lock the doors.
•Enter information in the Gold Book. When the installation and cleanup are complete, make
the appropriate notations in the Gold Book shipped with the system.
•Obtain customer acceptance (if required). Be sure to thank the customer for choosing HP.
