  • Page 33: Rack Planning Resources

    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 34: Temperature Requirements

    CAUTION: If a third-party rack is used, observe the following additional requirements to ensure adequate airflow and to prevent damage to the equipment: • Front and rear doors—If the 42U rack includes closing front and rear doors, you must allow 5,350 sq cm (830 sq in) of holes evenly distributed from top to bottom to permit adequate airflow (equivalent to the required 64 percent open area for ventilation).

  • Page 35: Electrical Grounding 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.

Each memory board contains four DIMM slots for a total of 16 DIMM slots in the server.

  • Page 68: Single- And Dual-Rank Dimms

    • Dual-rank DIMMs ("Single- and dual-rank DIMMs" on page 68) must be populated before single-rank DIMMs (dual-rank DIMMs must be in the lower bank). • The following table lists all valid combinations of single- and dual-rank DIMM configurations for a memory board.

  • Page 69: Online Spare Memory

    ECC can correct single-bit memory errors, Advanced ECC can correct single-bit memory errors and multi- bit memory errors if all failed bits are on the same DRAM device on the DIMM. The following guidelines apply to Advanced ECC memory: • All general memory requirements apply.

  • Page 70: Hot-Plug Mirrored Memory

    • Hot-plug operations are not supported. HP recommends the following configurations. These configurations result in optimal use of memory. Other configurations are valid, but do not result in the maximum amount of installed memory being available to the operating system.

  • Page 71: Hot-Plug Raid Memory

    • All general memory requirements apply. • Hot-plug mirrored memory is supported with two or four memory boards. • Memory boards 1 and 2 are populated for dual-board hot-plug mirrored memory. Boards 1, 2, 3, and 4 are populated for quad-board hot-plug mirrored memory. Any deviation from these guidelines results in the server defaulting to Advanced ECC ("Advanced ECC memory"...

  • Page 72: Memory Boards And Dimms

    As with hot-plug mirrored memory, hot-plug RAID memory allows failed or degraded DIMMs to be replaced while the server is running without requiring server downtime. The memory board with the failed DIMMs can be removed, failed DIMMs replaced, and the board re-inserted into the server without any interruption to the operating system.

  • Page 73: Removing A Memory Board Blank

    Observe the following warnings when performing a hot-plug replacement procedure. WARNING: Always comply with all electrostatic and thermal guidelines to prevent bodily injury and ensure a properly functioning system when performing hot-plug operations. WARNING: To prevent personal injury from hazardous energy: Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.
  • Page 74 CAUTION: To prevent server failure during a hot-plug removal procedure, do not remove the memory board from the server until the board status LED stops flashing. Use the ejector lever to pull the memory board out of the server. NOTE: While the memory board with the failed or degraded DIMM is being replaced, the server continues to read and write from the operational memory board.
  • Page 75 Remove or install the DIMM. IMPORTANT: Be sure to observe all DIMM installation requirements for the desired memory mode. IMPORTANT: DIMMs do not seat fully if turned the wrong way.
