Page 27: Setup
Setup Optional installation services Delivered by experienced, certified engineers, HP Care Pack services help you keep your servers up and running with support packages tailored specifically for HP ProLiant systems. HP Care Packs let you integrate both hardware and software support into a single package. A number of service level options are available to meet your needs.
Page 28: Temperature Requirements
HP servers draw in cool air through the front door and expel warm air through the rear door. Therefore, the front and rear rack doors must be adequately ventilated to allow ambient room air to enter the cabinet, and the rear door must be adequately ventilated to allow the warm air to escape from the cabinet.
Page 29: Power Requirements
Because of the high ground-leakage currents associated with multiple servers connected to the same power source, HP recommends the use of a PDU that is either permanently wired to the building’s branch circuit or includes a nondetachable cord that is wired to an industrial-style plug. NEMA locking-style plugs or those complying with IEC 60309 are considered suitable for this purpose.

Page 31: Installing The Components
Installing the components WARNING: The server is very heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment: • Reduce the weight of the server by removing the hard drives and power supplies before installing the server into the rack. At least two people are required to lift the server during installation or removal.

Page 33: Registering The Server
Update. If the check box is not selected, the latest drivers are already installed. Registering the server To experience quicker service and more efficient support, register the product at the HP Product Registration website (http://register.hp.com).
Page 34: Hardware Options Installation
To install the processor: Update the system ROM. Locate and download the latest ROM version from the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support). Follow the instructions on the website to update the system ROM. Power down the server (on page 15).
Page 35 CAUTION: To prevent possible server overheating, always populate processor socket 2 with a processor and a heatsink or a processor socket cover and a heatsink blank. IMPORTANT: Processor socket 1 must be populated at all times or the server does not function. Open each of the processor locking levers in the order indicated, and then open the processor retaining bracket.
Page 36 Install the processor. Verify that the processor is fully seated in the processor retaining bracket by visually inspecting the processor installation guides on either side of the processor. THE PINS ON THE SYSTEM BOARD ARE VERY FRAGILE AND EASILY DAMAGED. CAUTION: THE PINS ON THE SYSTEM BOARD ARE VERY FRAGILE AND EASILY DAMAGED.
Page 37 Press and hold the processor retaining bracket in place, and then close each processor locking lever. Press only in the area indicated on the processor retaining bracket. Remove the thermal interface protective cover from the heatsink. CAUTION: Heatsinks specified for processor 1 and 2 are not interchangeable. Be sure to note the appropriate orientation on the heatsink label.
Page 38: Memory Options
Position the heatsink on the processor backplate. Tighten one pair of diagonally opposite screws halfway, and then tighten the other pair of screws. Finish the installation by completely tightening the screws in the same sequence. Install the processor air baffle (on page 21). Install the front GPU bracket (on page 20).
Page 39: Hp Smartmemory
HP SmartMemory, introduced for Gen8 servers, authenticates and unlocks certain features available only on HP Qualified memory and verifies whether installed memory has passed HP qualification and test processes. Qualified memory is performance-tuned for HP ProLiant and BladeSystem servers and provides future enhanced support through HP Active Health and manageability software.
Page 40: Dimm Identification
DIMM identification To determine DIMM characteristics, use the label attached to the DIMM and the following illustration and table. Item Description Definition Size — Rank 1R = Single-rank 2R = Dual-rank 3R = Three-rank 4R = Quad-rank Data width x4 = 4-bit x8 = 8-bit Voltage rating L = Low voltage (1.35V)
Page 41: Advanced Ecc Memory Configuration
Advanced ECC provides additional protection over Standard ECC because it is possible to correct certain memory errors that would otherwise be uncorrected and result in a server failure. Using HP Advanced Memory Error Detection technology, the server provides notification when a DIMM is degrading and has a higher probability of uncorrectable memory error.
Page 42: General Dimm Slot Population Guidelines
For DIMM spare replacement, install the DIMMs per slot number as instructed by the system software. For detailed memory configuration rules and guidelines, use the Online DDR3 Memory Configuration Tool on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/ddr3memory-configurator). The following DIMM speeds are supported in this server.
Page 43: Installing A Dimm
• Each channel must have a valid online spare configuration. • Each channel can have a different valid online spare configuration. • Each populated channel must have a spare rank. A single dual-rank DIMM is not a valid configuration. Lockstep Memory population guidelines For Lockstep memory mode configurations, observe the following guidelines: •...
