allow the hot plug drives and internal system components to cool before  
touching.  
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the  
equipment:  
Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is  
an important safety feature.  
Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet that is easily  
accessible at all times.  
Install the power supply before connecting the power cord to the  
power supply.  
Unplug the power cord before removing the power supply from the  
server.  
If the system has multiple power supplies, disconnect power from the  
system by unplugging all power cords from the power supplies  
CAUTION: Be sure that the power outlet you plug your power cord into  
is easily accessible and located as close as possible to the equipment  
operator. When you need to disconnect power to the equipment, be sure  
to unplug the power cord from the power outlet.  
CAUTION: Protect the server from power fluctuations and temporary  
interruptions with a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS). This  
device protects the hardware from damage caused by power surges and  
voltage spikes and keeps the system in operation during a power failure.  
CAUTION: The Compaq ProLiant Server must always be operated with  
the system unit cover on. Proper cooling will not be achieved if the  
system unit cover is removed.  
IMPORTANT: Because of the 100 to 120 VAC electrical rating of each power  
supply, some local electrical authorities may require either one 15-Ampere circuit for  
each power supply or one 20-Ampere circuit for each  
pair of power supplies.

Rack Warnings and Precautions  
Before beginning these procedures, make sure you understand the following  
warnings and caution.  
ProLiant 3000 Setup and Installation Guide  
 
3-2 Rack-Mount Server Installation  
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the  
equipment, at least two people are needed to safely unload the rack  
from the pallet. An empty 42U rack weighs 253 LB (115 kg), is over  
seven ft (2.1m) tall, and may become unstable when being moved  
on its casters. Do not stand in front of the rack as it rolls down the  
ramp from the pallet, but handle it from the sides.  
WARNING: Because the rack allows you to stack computer  
components on a vertical rather than a horizontal plane, you must  
take precautions to provide for rack stability and safety. It is  
important that you follow these basic instructions to protect both  
personnel and property, and that you heed all cautions and  
warnings throughout the installation instructions.  
WARNING: Always load the heaviest item first and always load  
the rack from the bottom up. This will make the rack "bottom-  
heavy" and help prevent the rack from becoming unstable. See  
"Rules for the Rack Builder" on the Rack Builder diskette for the  
rules that govern the vertical placement of rack-mounted  
components.  
WARNING: A rack may become unstable if more than one  
component is extended for any reason. To reduce the risk of  
personal injury, always ensure that the rack is adequately stabilized  
before extending a component outside the rack, and extend only  
one component at a time.  
WARNING: Before beginning to work on the rack, be sure that  
the leveling jacks are extended to the floor, that the full weight of  
the rack rests on the level floor, and that either stabilizers are  
installed or that multiple racks are coupled together for stability.  
CAUTION: Do not place anything on power cords or cables.  
Arrange them so that no one may accidentally step or trip over  
them. Do not pull on a cord or cable. When unplugging from the  
electrical outlet, grasp the cord by the plug.  
WARNING: To avoid the risk of personal injury or damage to the  
equipment, a minimum of two people MUST lift the server into the  
rack. The server weighs about 50 pounds (22.6 kilograms). If the  
unit is to be loaded above chest level, a third person must assist in  
aligning the rails while the other two support the unit.  
3-3  
Rack Temperature Requirements  
The operating temperature inside the rack will always be higher than the room  
temperature, and is dependent on the configuration of equipment in your rack.  
The TMRA for each piece of equipment should be checked before installation.  
The maximum internal rack temperature for your configuration should not  
exceed the values in the following table:  
Table 3-1  
Rack Internal Temperature Maximums  
Equipment Included  
Maximum InternalRack Temperature  
Rack-Mountable ProLiant Servers  
50°C/122°F  
Compaq Rack-Mountable options  
Other manufacturers' options  
40°C/104°F  
See other manufacturers' specifications  
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to the equipment  
when installing third-party options:  
Ensure that the option equipment does not impede airflow to  
the Rack-Mountable ProLiant Servers or increase the internal  
rack temperature  
beyond the Compaq specified maximum rating.  
Ensure that the Manufacturer’s Maximum Recommended  
Ambient Operating Temperature of the option equipment is  
not exceeded when installed in the rack.  
ProLiant 3000 Setup and Installation Guide  
3-4 Rack-Mount Server Installation  
Airflow Requirements  
Compaq ProLiant rackmountable servers draw cool air in through the front door  
and exhaust warm air out the rear. Therefore, the front door of the rack 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. Do not block the ventilation apertures.  
CAUTION: If a third-party rack is used, the following minimum  
requirements should be observed to ensure adequate airflow and  
to prevent damage to the equipment:  
Front: The front must have a minimum of 25 inches of  
unrestricted ventilation.  
Side: The clearance between the installed module and the side  
panels of the rack should be a minimum of 2.75 inches.  
Rear: The clearance between the back of the rack and the wall  
should be a minimum of 30 inches. The equipment should  
be operating without a rear door.  
NOTE: If all of the vertical space in the rack is not filled by components, the gaps  
that are left cause a change in airflow through the rack and across the components.  
These gaps should be covered with blanking panels.

Preparing the Mounting Brackets  
and Slide Rail Assemblies  
Each pair of mounting brackets, with attached slide rail assemblies, supports  
one rack-mountable server.  
Figure 3-2. Rack mounting brackets; alignment tabs identify the front flanges  
Each slide rail assembly consists of an outer bracket rail and an inner  
component rail (see the following figure). These pieces can be separated; the  
bracket rails attach to the rack mounting brackets (shown in the previous  
figure), and the component rails attach to the sides of the server chassis.  
3-9  
Figure 3-3. Slide rail assembly (outer bracket rail and inner component rail)  
IMPORTANT: To make the installation of the mounting bracket easier,  
attach the bracket rail to the rack mounting bracket before attaching the  
mounting bracket assembly to the rack. This way, the joined mounting  
bracket and bracket rail can be fastened to the rack as one assembly.  
Attaching the Bracket Rail  
to the Mounting Bracket  
Please read all of the following eight steps before you begin.  
1. Unpack the hardware mounting kit. Lay the two-piece slide rail  
assembly (outer bracket rail and inner component rail) and fasteners on a  
flat surface along with the mounting brackets and fasteners that came  
with the rack.  
2. Extend the component rail from the bracket slide rail until the  
component rail release latch clicks. Holding down the latch, slip this  
piece out of each bracket rail, as shown in the following figure.  
ProLiant 3000 Setup and Installation Guide  
3-10 Rack-Mount Server Installation  
Figure 3-4. Removing the component rail from the bracket rail  
3. Put the component rails to one side. You will attach them to the rack  
server chassis later, in the section, "Attaching Component Rails to the  
Server."  
The next figure shows the separated bracket rail with its inner sliding piece and  
the flat, one-piece component rail.  
Figure 3-5. Separated bracket rail (top) and component rail  
3-11  
The bracket rail consists of a fixed outer rail that screws to the rack mounting  
bracket, and an inner slide on a steel ball bearing movement. This inner slide  
does not detach.  
Figure 3-6. Bracket rail with inner slide. The front of the rail is highlighted.  
4. Lay the bracket rail inside the mounting bracket with the front of both  
pieces oriented in the same direction. Align the front screw holes in the  
mounting bracket and the bracket rail.  
To identify the front of the mounting bracket and the bracket rail:  
The front of the mounting bracket has alignment tabs on its flange.  
The front of the bracket rail allows the inner slide to move forward  
on ball bearings.  
ProLiant 3000 Setup and Installation Guide  
3-12 Rack-Mount Server Installation  
5. Extend the inner slide from the front of the bracket rail. With this piece  
extended, you will see two screw holes aligned in the mounting bracket  
and the bracket rail. These are the two exposed holes near the back end  
of the bracket rail and the front hole accessible through a slot in the  
inner slide.  
6. Fasten the bracket rail to the mounting bracket with one 8-32 x 1/4-inch  
slotted screws. (Do not use nuts or washers with the screws.) See step  
of the following figure.  
7. Adjust the inner slide to access the other two screw holes, one at a time,  
through the slotted opening in the inner slide. Use two more 8-32 x 1/4-  
inch slotted screws to fasten the bracket rail to the mounting bracket.  
See steps and of the following figure.  
The following figure shows inserting the screws into the appropriate holes. The  
screws will line up with the 26-inch markings stamped along one edge of the  
mounting bracket. These marks identify the mounting holes for the 26-inch  
slides used in Compaq racks. (The other markings stamped along the opposite  
edge are for use with slides that support other components.)

Figure 3-7. Attaching the bracket rail to the mounting bracket  
You will use a total of four 8-32 x 1/4-inch slotted screws to fasten the bracket  
rail to the mounting bracket. When all five screws are fastened, the mounting  
bracket and bracket rail form a mounting bracket slide assembly that you will  
attach to the rack.  
8. Repeat steps 4 through 7 with the other bracket rail and mounting  
bracket. You now have a pair of mounting bracket slide assemblies to be  
attached to the rack.

Attaching the Mounting Bracket  
Slide Assembly to the Rack  
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage  
to the equipment, be sure that the rack leveling feet are  
extended to the floor and support the full weight of the rack.  
Each rack must be level and stable. Racks that are not coupled  
together require the installation of stabilizers. This must be  
done before you perform any work on the rack.  
See the Rack Planning and Installation Guide for more information  
on leveling feet and stabilizers.  
Measuring with the Template  
The template provided with the server offers an easy and reliable way to  
properly position the server in the rack. Use the tabs on the template to suspend  
it from the lower hole of a two-hole set of perforations in the vertical side rails.  
Pencil mark the attachment points for the mounting bracket assemblies, the  
cage nuts for the face-plate thumbscrews, and the top of the server. Use the tick  
marks on the rack side rails to insure level installation of the server. See  
illustrations and instructions printed on the template.  
IMPORTANT: Determine the server's place in the rack before you start  
installing the mounting bracket assemblies. To remind you of the proper  
placement of the server in the rack, refer to the Rack Builder report you  
printed when you planned your rack configuration. Always mount the  
heaviest item on the bottom of the rack and work from the bottom to the top.  
1. Starting at the bottom of the rack, or at the top of a previously mounted  
component, measure the screw hole locations for the server's mounting  
bracket assemblies. Pencil mark the locations on the outside of the rack.  
Do this on both the front and the back of the rack.  
3-15  
IMPORTANT: The template is two-sided (front and back) and printed with  
arrows that show you where the screws will be inserted, both for the  
mounting bracket assemblies and for the thumbscrews that will secure the  
server's face plate to the front of the rack.  
Align the template carefully with the holes on the rack, to determine the  
exact placement of the screws.  
2. When you mark the positioning of the mounting bracket screws, also  
mark the positioning in the front of the rack for the cage nuts. These are  
two slots marked "C" on the template. The cage nuts will hold the  
thumbscrews through the server's face plate.  
Be sure to follow the alignment instructions on the template, and keep the sides  
of the template squared up with the sides of the rack. Tick marks on the rack’s  
vertical rails will help you maintain the proper alignment.  
Be sure to follow the alignment instructions on the template, and keep the sides  
of the template squared up with the sides of the rack. Tick marks on the rack’s  
vertical rails will help you maintain the proper alignment.

3. After marking the front of the rack, turn the template over and mark the  
back rails of the rack. Open the rear door of the rack to access the back  
rails.  
4. On the back of the rack, mark the rail to show the top of the template.  
This will help you align a template for the next component.  
Inserting Cage Nuts in the Rack Frame  
After marking the positions for the fasteners in both the front and back of the  
rack, use the fitting tool to insert cage nuts on the inside of the rails at the  
marked locations. The cage nuts and fitting tool are included in the hardware kit  
supplied with the rack.  
1. Position the cage nut as shown in the following figure, on the inside of  
the rail.  
2. Hook one of the lips of the cage nut through the square rail perforation.  
3-17  
3. Insert the tip of the fitting tool through the other side of the perforation  
and hook the opposite lip of the cage nut.  
Figure 3-9. Inserting cage nuts  
4. Using the fitting tool as a lever, pry the cage nut into position.  
5. Repeat for each cage nut.  
Attaching the Mounting Bracket Assembly  
to the Rack  
The tabs on the front of the mounting bracket help to align it with the front of  
the rack frame. Cage nuts are not used for the front attachment of the mounting  
bracket.  
ProLiant 3000 Setup and Installation Guide  
3-18 Rack-Mount Server Installation  
1. Attach a mounting bracket assembly to the front of the rack first, using  
one M6 x 1.0-12L Phillips screw in the bottom hole of the bracket. Do

Loading the Rack Server  
Load and secure the server to the rack with the face plate thumbscrews before  
continuing to attach any more mounting bracket assemblies. Ensure that this  
pair of brackets is perfectly aligned and installed and that the server fits before  
you continue.  
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to  
the equipment, a minimum of two people MUST lift the server  
into the rack. The server weighs 50 pounds (22.6 kilograms). If  
the unit is to be loaded above chest level, a third person must  
assist in aligning the rails while the other two support the unit.  
IMPORTANT: To make the server lighter and more manageable, do not  
install drives in the server until after you load the server into the rack. You  
may also temporarily remove power supplies and reinstall them after you  
have mounted the server in the rack.

door from hitting protruding thumbscrews.  
Attaching the Cable  
Management Arm  
A double-hinged cable management arm and fasteners ship with each server.  
The cable management arm attaches to the server's cable management arm  
bracket and to the rear frame of the rack. All cables to and from the server are  
tied to this arm. The two hinges allow the cable management arm with attached  
cables to swing out of the way when you need to access the server pull-out  
trays.  
3-25  
1. For easier handling, first slide the server into the rack, then attach the  
cable management arm to the cable management arm bracket. If you  
attach the arm before loading the server in the rack, the arm may swing  
around and interfere with the loading process.  
2. After you have loaded the server into the rack, attach one end of the  
cable management arm to the server's cable management arm bracket  
using two M6 x 1.0-12L Phillips screws. Align the arm to the bracket as  
shown in the following figure.

Accessing Non Hot-Plug Areas  
To install options, upgrades or replacements in these areas, you must first shut  
down the server power.  
Accessing Processors, Memory Board, and  
System Board  
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from  
electrical shock, remove all power cords to  
completely disconnect power from the system.  
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to  
the equipment:  
Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The  
grounding plug is an important safety feature.  
Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical  
outlet that is easily accessible at all times.  
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot  
surfaces, allow the internal system components to cool before  
touching.  
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from contact  
with hazardous energy, the equipment is provided with safety  
interlocks. Do not attempt to defeat this safely interlock. See

1. Back up your server data.  
2. Shut down the operating system in an orderly manner as directed in your  
operating system instructions.  
3. Power down the server and remove the power cord.  
IMPORTANT: The system power in the ProLiant 3000 server does not  
completely shut off with the front panel Power On/Standby switch. The two  
positions of the switch functions as ON and STANDBY, rather than ON and  
OFF. The STANDBY position removes power from most of the electronics  
and the drives but portions of the power supply and some internal circuitry  
remain active. Consequently, to completely remove all power from the  
system, you must disconnect the power cord from the server. In systems  
with multiple power supplies, you must disconnect all the power cords to  
completely remove power from the system.  
NOTE: After you move the Power On/Standby switch to the Standby position it  
may take the operating system up to 30 seconds before shutting down the power.  
WARNING: Before removing the server top panel, ensure that  
the server is turned off and that the power cord is disconnected  
from the electrical outlet.

Server Configuration and  
Utilities  
This chapter describes the tools that Compaq provides to assist you in the  
configuration and management of your Compaq ProLiant 3000 Server.  
Configuring the Server with  
SmartStart  
SmartStart is the intelligent way to configure the server and to load the  
system software, thereby achieving a well-integrated server to ensure maximum  
dependability and supportability. The SmartStart and Support Software CD  
holds the Compaq System Configuration Utility and ROMPaq. To use the  
SmartStart and Support Software CD, refer to the Server Setup and  
Management pack included in the shipping box.  
To install the Compaq SmartStart and Software Support CD:  
1. Turn on the computer.  
2. Insert the CD-ROM into the slot handling the CD from the edges, not  
the flat surfaces of the disc.

Using the System  
Configuration Utility  
The Compaq System Configuration Utility performs a wide range of  
configuration activities, including:  
Automatically configuring PCI and ISA Plug and Play boards  
Providing switch and jumper settings  
Resolving resource conflicts in areas such as memory, port addresses,  
and interrupt requests (IRQ)  
Managing the installation of mass storage devices such as hard drives,  
tape drives, and diskette drives  
Setting and storing power-on features like date and time  
Storing configuration information in nonvolatile memory  
Assisting in installing an operating system  
Assisting in running diagnostic tools such as Test and Inspect Utilities  
The first time the server is configured, the SmartStart program automatically  
creates a system partition and installs the System Configuration Utility and  
other Compaq utilities in that partition.  
IMPORTANT: This Compaq system utilities partition should not be  
confused with the partition(s) created by your operating system.  
In Compaq ProLiant 3000 servers, the system ROM automatically configures  
memory and processor changes.  
The System Configuration Utility uses option configuration (.CFG) files to set  
up and configure the computer. The .CFG files provide information such as  
switch settings, IRQs, and software installation guidelines. The .CFG files for  
Compaq computers are located on the System Configuration diskettes and  
SmartStart and Support Software CD (SmartStart CD).  
ProLiant 3000 Setup and Installation Guide  
5-4 Server Configuration and Utilities  
For PCI boards, the utility reads the configuration options from the PCI board's  
configuration space from a PCI configuration file (.PCF).  
Compaq Option Configuration Files diskette  
Non-Compaq Option Configuration Files diskette  
SmartStart and Support Software CD  
The .CFG file provides board resource requirements and switch and jumper  
setting alternatives. Although ISA boards do not have the automatic  
configuration capabilities of PCI boards, the System Configuration Utility can  
allocate system resources to these boards and provide instructions for setting  
switches and jumpers.  
Resolving Resource Conflicts  
If you add a PCI expansion board later, the system detects this change when  
you turn on the computer. The system ROM reads the PCI board identifier and  
compares it with the current configuration information stored in nonvolatile  
memory. The system ROM automatically configures PCI boards. If a user  
selection is required, a POST message directs you to run the System  
Configuration Utility. Additionally, you may change the default automatic  
settings by running the System Configuration Utility.  
The System Configuration Utility reads the option configuration .CFG files to  
determine any resource conflicts, such as two devices requiring the same  
hardware interrupt. If the system identifies a conflict, the software then  
rechecks all the expansion board specifications to determine if settings for a  
previously read board can be changed to automatically resolve the conflict  
between the two boards.  
5-5  
Starting the System  
Configuration Utility  
To start the Compaq System Configuration Utility for the first time, refer to the  
SmartStart Installation poster.

Creating a New System Partition  
If you used SmartStart to configure your server and install your operating  
system, this procedure (“Creating a New System Partition”) was done  
automatically for you. Use this procedure only if the operating system was not  
installed on the server and you wish to create a system partition.  
1. Insert the Compaq SmartStart and Support Software CD in the CD-  
ROM drive and turn on the server.  
IMPORTANT: The system partition requires about 32 MB of disk space  
at the beginning of the hard drive and an unused entry in the boot record.  
SmartStart prompts you to overwrite an existing DOS partition on the hard  
drive.  
2. If the system is configured and there is hard drive space for the system  
partition, SmartStart automatically creates the partition and copies  
Compaq Utilities from the Compaq SmartStart and Support Software  
CD to the partition. This process takes two reboots. Leave the CD in the  
drive until the process is complete. The process is complete when the  
CD main menu displays.  
3. If the system is not configured, select the second or third button on the  
SmartStart first screen to configure the system automatically.  
4. After the system boots to save the configuration, the Compaq SmartStart  
and Support Software CD creates the system partition and copies the  
Compaq Utilities to it. This process takes two reboots.  
5. Leave the CD in the drive until the process completes. The process is  
complete when the CD main menu displays.

Integrated Management  
This chapter contains instructions and guidelines for using the Integrated  
Management features in Compaq ProLiant 3000 servers that may not be  
familiar to you. Subjects covered are:  
Integrated Management Display  
Integrated Management Log  
Integrated Management Display  
The Compaq Integrated Management Display (IMD) is an integrated, 16x4  
character display mounted on the front of the server. This display provides  
easy-to-use menu-driven access to server information. The following  
paragraphs provide information on navigating and using the menus.  
Normal Run-time Behavior  
When powering up the server, the first IMD screen you see shows the model  
number and LCD firmware revision of your display.  
Next, a series of server Power-On Self-Test (POST) operations is displayed.  
During POST, the display indicates the server test in progress by a spinning bar  
beside the menu item. When the test is finished, the IMD shows a check mark  
by the completed menu item. A check mark tells you the test is complete, but  
does not necessarily mean the test was free from errors.  
If an error occurs during POST, the server logs the error to the IMD under  
Unviewed Events and requires you to view the error before proceeding to any  
other menu choices.

Integrated Management Log  
The Compaq Integrated Management Log (IML) records system events and  
stores them in an easily-viewable form. The IML records hundreds of events  
instead of the 16 events that the Critical and Correctable Error Logs are  
capable of recording. The IML also marks each event with a time-stamp with  
one-minute granularity, instead of the one-hour granularity of the previous logs.  
Events listed in the Integrated Management Log are categorized as one of four  
event severity levels:  
Status—indicates that the message is informational only.  
Repaired—indicates that corrective action has been taken.  
Caution—indicates a non-fatal error condition.  
Critical—indicates a component failure.  
The Integrated Management Log requires Compaq Operating System-  
dependent drivers. Refer to Chapter 5, “Server Configuration and Utilities” for  
instructions on installing the appropriate drivers.

Regulatory Compliance Notices  
Federal Communications  
Commission Notice  
Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and  
Regulations has established Radio Frequency (RF) emission limits to provide  
an interference-free radio frequency spectrum. Many electronic devices,  
including computers, generate RF energy incidental to their intended function  
and are, therefore, covered by these rules. These rules place computers and  
related peripheral devices into two classes, A and B, depending upon their  
intended installation. Class A devices are those that may reasonably be  
expected to be installed in a business or commercial environment. Class B  
devices are those that may reasonably be expected to be installed in a  
residential environment (i.e., personal computers). The FCC requires devices in  
both classes to bear a label indicating the interference potential of the device as  
well as additional operating instructions for the user.  
The rating label on the device shows which class (A or B) the equipment falls  
into. Class B devices have an FCC logo or FCC ID on the label. Class A  
devices do not have an FCC logo or ID on the label. Once the class of the  
device is determined, refer to the following corresponding statement.

Class A Equipment  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class  
A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are  
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when  
the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment  
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and  
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to  
radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is  
likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to  
correct the interference at personal expense.  
Class B Equipment  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class  
B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are  
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a  
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio  
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the  
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.  
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular  
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or  
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and  
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of  
the following measures:  
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.  
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to  
which the receiver is connected.  
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or television technician for  
help.
