of 2ft. clearance on either side of the cabinet or shipping container to allow for maneuvering the equipment.
Delivery plans should include the possible removal of walls or doors.

Specify Raised Floor Requirements
Specify Raised Floor Requirements
If a raised floor system is used, a complete grounding grid for maintaining equal potential over a broad band
of frequencies should be installed. The grounding grid should be connected to the equipment cabinet and
electrical service entrance ground at multiple connection points via minimum #6 AWG (16mm2) wire ground
connector.
There are three types of raised floor systems:
•
Free standing - consists solely of the tiles and pedestals supporting the tiles. Metal backing on the tiles
supports the weight from one pedestal to the next, and provides electrical continuity from one pedestal to
the next.
•
•
Drop-in stringers - a simple metal bar extends from one pedestal to another, providing additional support
for the tile. Weight distribution and electrical continuity are improved over the free standing system.
Bolt-in stringer - a metal bar extends from one pedestal to the next, but the bar is bolted into place,
providing additional electrical and mechanical security. The system provides the best electrical continuity
and weight distribution.
Bolt-in String System grounding: One approach to grounding for bolt-in stringer systems go around the entire
perimeter of the room, connecting every third pedestal with #4 AWG or #6 AWG wire. Then make an ‘X’
through the center part of the room with the wire. If the room is very large or irregularly shaped, several ‘X’s
may be required, all connected to the same perimeter ground.
Drop-in Stringer system grounding. Use the ‘X’ system described for drop-in stringer systems.
Free-standing system grounding:
•
Excellent — Add a grounding strip to the subfloor. The grounding grid should be made of aluminum strips
mounted to the subfloor. The strips should be 0.032 in. (0.08 cm) thick and a minimum of 3.0 in. (8.0 cm)
wide.

Specify Raised Floor Requirements
Connect each pedestal to four strips using 1/4 in. (6.0 mm) bolts tightened to the manufacturer’s torque
recommendation.
•
•
Good — Use the raised floor structure as a ground grid. In this case, the floor must be designed as a
ground grid with bolted down stringers and tin-lead or zinc plating (to provide low resistance), and
attachment points for connection to service entrance ground and HP N4000 server equipment. The use of
conductive floor tiles with this style of grid further enhances ground performance.
Adequate — If the preceding systems are impossible to implement, contact a local Hewlett-Packard site
preparation specialist. Arrangements can be made to provide custom lengths of ground braid to
interconnect system cabinets. However, connecting system cabinets with custom lengths of braided
ground straps causes higher ground impedance than the techniques used in the excellent and good
ground grid systems, and the resulting ground system will not perform as well.

Specify Raised Floor Requirements
In a raised floor environment, the power drops and interface cables from the equipment are routed down
through the panel pull section, through a grommet-protected opening (beneath the floor level), and under the
floor panels, as shown in the following illustration:
Air Plenum
In some data processing environments, the underflow area is used as an air plenum, with cool, controlled air
flowing under the raised floor and distributed to the heat loads out in the data processing area. Return air is
routed back to the tops of the process control HVAC units.
This can create some potential problems:
•
Concrete sub-flooring should be sealed, but often is not. Concrete continues to ‘shed’ over its lifetime and
will add to humidity control problems.
•
Improper cable routing can and does cause air flow distribution problems.
Cable routing
Most data processing environments use the space under the raised flooring to route data and power cables.
Since this is often not closely controlled, potential problems may arise such as:

Air flow impedance and misrouting
Electromagnetic interference from parallel runs in close proximity to one another
Liquid spills beneath the floor may go unnoticed for long periods.
Where cable breaches raised floor, abrasion may cause severe shock hazards.
In general, cables should be routed parallel to the air flow, and not horizontal to it. Additionally, extreme care
should be given to ensure that data and power cables are not routed close together in a parallel fashion. In
fact, these cables should be separated by a minimum of 6 inches wherever physically possible.
Safety Hazards
Most electrical codes dictate that if an electrical shock hazard exists, some method to curb this must be used.
For instance, “any non-current carrying metallic part of a structure that could be energized and touched by
personnel has to be grounded.” With all of the power and data cables routed beneath the flooring and pulled
up into the data are, the chances for short exist. As the tiles are metallic clad, it is conceivable that the shock
hazard may exist. For this reason, it is critical that a raised floor be properly grounded.
Performance Drain
A raised floor acts as a voltage divider -- a capacitive plate -- and it may create a performance issue for
computer systems if improperly grounded. Computer systems create both electrostatic discharge and
electromagnetic interference, and as processor speeds increase, these effects increase as well. If the flooring
system is properly grounded, the metallic grids will act to dissipate the buildup of ESD and EMI.

The HP rp7400 power system is a 200/208/230/240 VAC product requiring a dedicated 20A branch circuit. The
power system is comprised of two or three 10A, 1163W n+1 hot-swappable system power supplies, depending
on how the system is configured. The total continuously available power to the SPU is 2 x 1163W or 2325W.
HP does not support plugging HP rp7400 power supplies into wall or floor sockets. The power cords
provided for the power supply is plugged directly into a UPS or a power distribution unit (PDU) using a
jumper cord (HP part number 8120-1860). Customers wishing to connect directly to wall or floor sockets must
provide their own power cord solution.
NOTE
The acronym PDU (power distribution unit) in this document refers to the power strips
attached to the HP rp7400 cabinet.
CAUTION
HP does not recommend and does not support the use of “ferro-active” or “ferro-resonant”
power correction in conjunction with the rp7400 server. These type of line conditioners
represent an older technology that is not compatible with the most recent designs in active PFC
power supplies such as those in the HP rp7400 servers. “Ferro-active” or “ferro-resonant” line
conditioners may cause an increase in total harmonic distortion and may produce significant
and unpredictable voltage regulation anomalies.
Modular PDUs
Two modular PDUs are available for use with the rp7400 product:
•
20A modular PDU, HP product number E7674A. This PDU has seven C13 outlets and one C19 outlet.
Note that if this PDU is used to power the rp7400 SPU, any other peripherals must have their power
supplied by additional PDUs in the cabinet. The PDU power cord (HP part number 8120-6903) has an
L6-20P plug which must be plugged into an L6-20R wall or floor receptacle.

Grounding systems
HP rp7400 servers require two methods of grounding:
•
•
Power distribution safety grounding
High frequency intercabinet grounding
NOTE
Some of the grounding requirements described here may differ outside of North America.
Power distribution safety grounding
The power distribution safety grounding system consists of connecting various points in the power
distribution system to earth ground using green (green/yellow) wire ground conductors. Having these ground
connections tied to metal chassis parts that may be touched by computer room personnel protects them
against shock hazard from current leakage and fault conditions.
Power distribution systems consist of several parts. Hewlett-Packard recommends that these parts be solidly
interconnected to provide an equal-potential ground to all points.
Main building electrical ground The main electrical service entrance equipment should have an earth
ground connection, as required by applicable codes. Connections such as a grounding rod, building steel, or a
conductive type cold water service pipe provide an earth ground.
Electrical conduit ground All electrical conduits should be made of rigid metallic conduit, Flex-T conduit,
or liquid-tight conduit that is securely connected together or bonded to panels and electrical boxes, so as to
provide a continuous grounding system.
Power panel ground Each power panel should be grounded to the electrical service entrance with green
(green/yellow) wire ground conductors. The green (green/yellow) wire ground conductors should be sized per
applicable codes (based on circuit over current device ratings).
Computer equipment ground Ground all computer equipment with the green (green/yellow) wire
included in the branch circuitry. The green (green/yellow) wire ground conductors should be connected to the
appropriate power panel and should be parity-sized (based on circuit over current device ratings).
Cabinet interconnect grounding
Signal interconnect between system cabinets requires high frequency ground return paths. Connect all
cabinets to site ground.
NOTE
In some cases power distribution system green (green/yellow) wire ground conductors are too
long and inductive to provide adequate high frequency ground return paths. Therefore, the
customer may choose to provide a ground strap for connecting the system cabinet to the site
grounding grid (customer-supplied). Installation of this ground strap is optional and there is a
chance that it may cause ground loops.
Power panels located in close proximity to the computer equipment should also be connected to site grounding
grid. Methods of providing a sufficiently high frequency ground grid are described in the next sections.

SPU-level Enhanced Power Availability
At the SPU level, enhanced power availability is achieved through the n+1 hot-swappable power supplies.
Two power supplies are required for normal rp7400 system operation and in order to allow the system to boot.
The third power supply is a redundant power supply that provides the n+1 capability.
Any one of the power supplies can fail without affecting system performance, and can be replaced while the
system is on-line. Single point of failure is reduced to the PDU or PowerTrust UPS to which the power supply
power cords are connected.
Cabinet-level Enhanced Power Availability
At the equipment cabinet level, enhanced power availability is achieved by interweaving the three power
supply power cords across different branch circuits in the PDUs. The following illustration shows how three
SPUs can be connected to three 30A PDUs for high availability:
In this arrangement, any one branch circuit or any one 30A PDU can fail without shutting the system down.
This reduces single point of failure to the facility power circuit providing power to the PDU or PowerTrust
UPS.

Identify Sources of Electrical Interference
Identify Sources of Electrical Interference
The following are some of the sources of electrical interference that may affect rp7400 servers.
Convenience Wall Outlets
Power outlets for building maintenance equipment (i.e., vacuum cleaners, floor buffers, etc.) must be wired
from circuit breakers on a power panel separate from the computer system panel. The ground wires from
these outlets must be connected to the normal building distribution panel; not the computer system ground.
If a separate power source and separate ground are not provided, operation of janitorial equipment can
induce electrical noise and cause abnormal operation of the computer system. Your electrician can verify
whether or not maintenance outlets are on separate panels.
Lightning
In some geographical areas it may by advisable to install lightning protection for both personnel and
computer systems. In the United States (USA), the installation of lightning or surge arrestors on power and
communication lines is described in the National Electrical Code, Article 280. All lightning arrestors must
have the UL 1449 rating and should be tested to survive the suite of IEEE587 tests.
The principles of lightning protection and personnel safety are outlined in detail in the lightning protection
code contained in the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Handbook.

Identify Other Environmental Influences
Identify Other Environmental Influences
The following are some of the other environmental influences that may affect rp7400 servers.
Vibration
Continuous vibration can cause a slow degradation of mechanical parts and, when severe, can cause data
errors in disc drives. Mechanical connections such as printed circuit assembly (PCA) connectors, cable
connectors, and processor backplane wiring can also be affected by vibration.
Flammable Materials
Fundamental safeguards for computer systems should include a site well away from any sources of potential
damage. The system should not be installed or operated in an environment where there is a risk of fire or
explosion due to the existence of highly flammable gases, volatile liquids, or combustible dust.
Airborne Contaminants
Airborne contaminants and particles of a certain size and hardness can damage your computer system,
particularly disc drives. Corrosive gases and/or solvent vapors such as those from liquid spirit duplicating
equipment and wet-process photo copiers can also cause damage. Some of the most common contaminants are
dust, smoke, ash, eraser debris, food crumbs, and salty air.
Electrostatic Discharge
If there is an abnormally high level of static electricity at your computer system's location (15 KV or higher),
personnel will probably be “sparking” upon contact with the equipment. Carpeting and/or low humidity will
probably be the source of static electricity, especially in dry and cold climates. Static electricity can often be
significantly reduced by using a humidifier. (Hewlett-Packard recommends a heat evaporating type
humidifier and strongly recommends against using a cold water atomizer type humidifier.
Other ways to minimize electrostatic discharge are by using specially grounded mats in front of the computer
system or by treating carpeting with anti-static spray. Anti-static spray is not recommended because it finds
its way into the system intake filter and tends to coat the circuitry. If spray is used, it should be applied while
the system is turned off. Note that sprays are very temporary and must be reapplied frequently.

The computer system power panel should include a shunt-trip wired to an emergency shut-off switch and a
thermostat device. Electrical codes commonly stipulate that this button will remove both power AND airflow
from the computer room. This is for deactivating all equipment power in case of an emergency or in case room
temperature exceeds safe operating conditions.
Check the local electrical codes to see whether the E-stop switch is optional or required.

Special Tools
If an rp7400 server is being added or installed in the top of a cabinet, a step ladder and a Genie® Load Lifter
will be required.
Telephone
You should plan to install a telephone with a long cord near your computer system to expedite consultations
with Hewlett-Packard Sales Representatives, CEs, AEs, and Response Center personnel. Additional phone
lines, appropriately placed, should be planned if a remote support modem is to be installed with your
computer system. Remote support allows system problems to be diagnosed from a remote location via the
telephone lines.
NOTE
Check with your local telephone company to be sure the telephone service at the site can
accommodate modem/data quality transmission.
Record Protection
Safeguards should be taken to protect business records and any other information that is either very
expensive or impossible to duplicate. Duplicate or master records should be maintained so that vital
information can be retrieved quickly in case of an accident. Copies of vital data should be stored well away
from the computer area; normally in some type of fireproof storage device.
A regular updating process should be put into place to ensure that the value of the stored information is
maintained. Electronic data processing insurance is also available to cover both hardware and software.
Contact your local Hewlett-Packard Sales and Service office for details.
Lighting
Adequate lighting and utility outlets in a computer room reduce the possibility of accidents during equipment
servicing. Safer servicing is also more efficient and, therefore, less costly.
For example, it is difficult to see cable connection points on the hardware if there is not enough light.
Adequate lighting reduces the chances of connector damage when cables are installed or removed.
The minimum recommended illumination level is 70 foot-candles (756 lumens per square meter) when the
light level is measured at 30 inches (76.2 cm) above the floor.
Windows
Avoid housing computers in a room with windows. Sunlight entering a computer room may cause problems.
Magnetic tape storage media is damaged if exposed to direct sunlight. Also, the heat generated by sunlight
places an additional load on the cooling system.

SCSI Devices
SCSI Devices
This section provides basic cabling and setup procedures for externally mounted SCSI devices.
External Media Devices
The rp7400 does not include internally mounted removable media devices (DVD-ROM, CDROM, or DDS
Tape) as a standard part of the system.
The rp7400 provides an Ultra II, Low Voltage Differential (LVD), 68-pin Very High Density Computer
Interconnect (VHDCI) SCSI port on the Core I/O connector panel. This connector if provided for the
connection of external SCSI devices.
Cabinet mountable CDROM and DDS devices are available for the rp7400. Check your ordering guide for the
correct devices, cables, and mounting enclosures.
HP Smart Rackmount Enclosure
The HP Smart Rackmount Enclosure (C4318SZ) provides the ability to rack mount and connect two HD
50-pin SCSI external media devices to the rp7400.
The Smart Rackmount Enclosure is connected to the rp7400 by a 68-pin, VHDCI connector on the Core I/O
connector panel.
SCSI Termination
This section provides an overview of SCSI termination. The rp7400 has three SCSI buses. Two internal buses,
off of a dual-channel controller and one external accessed through a 68-pin VHDCI connection on the Core I/O
board.
Each internal bus contains one disk drive which is terminated.
The external bus is self terminating when no devices are present. If devices are connected the external bus
must be properly terminated at the last physical device.
Refer to the rp7400 configuration guide and the manual for the device you are installing for proper
termination procedures.
SCSI Termination General
Each physical end of a SCSI chain must be properly terminated. Termination requirements varies with the
length of bus, number of devices, and bus speed. An improperly terminated SCSI bus can cause faults and bus
data errors.
SCSI Narrow
Can support up to 8 devices (0 - 7)
Device 7 = Controller
SCSI Wide
Can support up to 16 devices (0 - 15)

SCSI Bus Speed Selection
This section describes the procedure for setting the speed of the external SCSI bus using the Boot Console
Handler (BCH) commands. The HP-UX SCSI driver works with Prelude firmware to achieve correct SCSI
speeds.
The driver does what the firmware says, no matter what the capabilities of the controller, drives, cables, and
enclosure are.
The SCSI speed change command must be used with care. Results are unpredictable if you set a speed which
the cable, drives, and controller board is not supported.
Setting SCSI Port Speed and Controller Initiator ID
The SCSI command is available from the Boot Console Handler (BCH) menu.
The command has as variety of uses including:
•
•
Displaying and setting the SCSI transfer rates

NOTE
The default rate equals ultra for the Core I/O internal drives. The default rate equals fast
for the Core I/O SCSI external port controller. Add-in HBAs are un programmed by default.
If programmed, the driver default value of fast is used for add-in HBAs.
2. Press <Return>
Displaying and setting SCSI Controller Initiator ID
To display and set SCSI controller initiator ID’s proceed as follows:
1. At the BCH prompt enter:

Cable Management
Cable Management
This section describes the management of cables inside the cabinet after all power and peripheral cables are
identified and attached to the SPU. Attention to cable management is important in multiple SPU cabinets, or
SPUs and other peripheral type enclosures in the same cabinet. The rp7400 SPUs extend out the front and
the rear of the cabinet for service access, so it is critical that cables be neat and dressed to allow movement
without the need for re-cabling the SPUs.
The cable management scheme inside the cabinet consists of cable guides located on the left and right sides of
the chassis, extending out from the back of the chassis. These cable guides in conjunction with plastic and
velcro tie-wraps should provide appropriate strain relief and cable management for all SPUs in the cabinet.
The cables should be dressed to the left or right side of the cabinet as shown in the following diagrams:

Cable Management
The plastic tie-wraps are used to hold the various cables to the cable guides to provide strain relief. They can
also be used to group like cable types together into one bundle, as shown:

There are slits in the cabinet vertical supports that allow the velcro tie-wraps to go through once you have
bundled the cables together. This is one method for securing the cables inside the cabinet.

Cable Management
Some cables may have a bend-radius issue at the connection point. In that case you can use the outside of the
cable guide to secure the cable for strain relief.

Cable with plastic
The pictures in this section show a single rp7400 SPU with cables. For a cabinet with multiple SPUs or an
SPU with peripheral component bays installed, you would want to cable from the bottom up. Be sure to leave
an adequate service loop in the cables so the SPU can be extended out the front or back of the cabinet. Some
cables may have to be loosened or re-positioned to access and SPU in the middle positions of the cabinet.
CAUTION
Always be aware of cable interference while moving an SPU. Cable or connector damage could
occur if this precaution is not followed.

Cabinet Extension Kit
Before installing the cabinet extension kit parts, you must first remove parts from the existing cabinet. Some
of the parts (see note) removed are not usable with the cabinet extension kit or the rp7400 system.
Preparing the Cabinet
1. Remove the cabinet plastic, side panels, by pulling them away from the cabinet (snap releases from the
front).
2. Disconnect the ground wire from the back door.
3. Remove the rear door by opening it at approximately a 45 degree angle. Grasp the door and lift it up to
disengage the door hinge pins.
4. Remove the top panel by pushing it forward from the rear, then lifting it up and off the cabinet.
5. Remove the door support bracket from the top of the cabinet frame.
6. Remove the door hinges from the cabinet vertical rails.
7. Remove the door latch plate from the cabinet vertical rails.
8. Remove any column mounted PDUs.
NOTE
The cabinet top panel, door hinges, and door latch plate, can be discarded, they are not used on
a cabinet with the extension kit installed.
Cabinet Expansion Kit Installation
1. From the back, place the deep top panel over the top of the cabinet, with the front angled down and
slightly forward so the tabs on the top panel can slide back into the slots on the front of the cabinet. Lower
the back of the top panel down and pull the top panel toward the back until it is fully seated on top of the
cabinet.
2. Snap the new, plastic cabinet forehead onto the front edge of the top panel.
3. Start a screw into the screw hole under the lower edge of the top panel. Do not tighten it, but make sure it
is in by two or three turns.
4. Hang a side panel from either the left or right side screw inserted in the top panel in step 3.
5. Insert five (5) T25 mounting screws through the side panel into the cabinet vertical frame. Note, for the
1.2m (A5541-00001) side panel, you will only insert three (3) T25 screws.
6. Repeat steps 3 through 5 for the other side.
7. Place the lower brace across the bottom of the side panels and insert four (two on each side) T25 screws
through the brace into the side panels.
8. Tighten all the T25 screws.
9. Attach the door hinges to the left side panel with four (two for each hinge) T25 screws.
10. Attach the door latch to the right side panel with two (2) T25 screws.
11. Attach the door stabilizer to the under side of the top panel with one (1) T25 screw.

Cabinet Extension Kit
12. Replace the cabinet plastic, side panels.
13. Attach the two short ground wires (one for each side), between the cabinet frame and the extension side
panels.
14. Attach the long ground wire between the cabinet frame and the rear door
WARNING
Do not install the outer rails or an N Class SPU without first installing the front and
rear anti-tip feet.
Anti-Tip Feet Installation
Before any product is installed in the cabinet and the cabinet has been positioned at the installation site, the
anti-tip feet need to be installed for safety and cabinet stability reasons.
1. Lower the cabinet leveler feet at all four corners of the cabinet. Be sure the leveler feet contact the floor
surface.
2. Place the solid front anti-tip foot so the slotted holes align with the threaded holes on the bottom edge of
the cabinet frame.
3. Insert four bolts and washers (two each side) through the anti-tip foot into the cabinet frame.
4. Press down on the anti-tip foot until it touches the floor, then tighten the bolts.
5. Place the rear anti-tip foot so the cable management slot aligns with the hole in the raised floor.
6. Insert four bolts and washers (two each side) through the anti-tip foot into the cabinet frame.
7. Press down on the anti-tip foot until it touches the floor, then tighten the bolts.
The cabinet is now ready for one or more rp7400 SPUs, or other computer components to be installed.

rp7400 Server Boot up
rp7400 Server Boot up
When booting up your system, for the first time, the first thing you should to is configure the Guardian
Service processor (GSP). Failure to configure the GSP will leave the system vulnerable to unauthorized.
access.
Configuring the Guardian Service Processor (GSP)
The Guardian Service Processor (GSP) is a resident processor within the system that allows the local or
remote system administrator to monitor and perform administrator functions. This section provides
configuration procedures that will instruct you to:
•
•
•
Configure the LAN port
Add or delete users (maximum of 20)
Change the default GSP configuration
Go to the appropriate section for the task that you wish to accomplish.
Configuring the GSP LAN Port
Perform the LAN configuration from the systems local port (either console or the HP secure web console).
NOTE
The GSP has a separate LAN port from the system LAN port. It will need a separate LAN drop,
IP address, and networking information from the port used by HP-UX.
Before starting this procedure, you will need to know the following information:
•
•
•
•
I.P. address (for GSP)
Subnet mask
Gateway address
Hostname (this is used when messages are logged or printed)
To configure the GSP LAN port, perform the following steps:
1. Go into the GSP with the ctrl+b entry.
2. At the GSP prompt, enter the LAN Configuration (lc) command:
GSP> lc
The lc command will start a series of prompts. Respond to each prompt with the appropriate information.
125

rp7400 Server Boot up
Adding Users
The GSP can only have a maximum of 20 users (one administrator and 19 operators). By design, the first user
added to the GSP becomes the GSP administrator. Only the GSP administrator can add or remove users or
change the GSP configuration.
NOTE
Before starting this procedure, you will need to know the following information:
•
•
•
•
User’s name
Organization’s name
Login name
User’s password
To add a user, perform the following steps:
1. Go into the GSP with the ctrl+b entry.
2. At the GSP prompt, enter the Security options and access control (SO) command:
GSP> so
3. The first prompt you will see with the so command is for GSP wide parameters:
GSP wide parameters are:
Login Timeout: 1 minutes.
. Number of password Faults allowed: 3
. Flow Control Timeout: 5 minutes.
Do you want to modify the GSP wide parameters? (Y / [N]) __
At this point you can modify the GSP wide parameters, or continue with adding users. To add users,
respond N for no.
NOTE
If this is the first time users are being added, the first user added will be the GSP
administrator.
If this is not the first time you are adding users (you are adding additional users), you will
need to step through all current users to reach the next available user prompt.
4. The next prompt that appears will ask the following question:
Do you want to modify the user number 1 parameters? (Y/[N]/Q to quit) __
Follow the series of prompts to enter all the required fields for adding a user.
CAUTION
Be sure to read each prompt carefully and enter the correct response. A missed or incorrect
entry could deny entry to that user.

rp7400 Server Boot up
An example of an added users information would be:
. User’s Name: Joe Smith
. Organization’s Name: IT Support
. Dial-back configuration: Disabled
. Access Level: Operator
. Mode: multiple
. User’s state: enabled
For the number 1 user, the Access level is administrator. The Mode entry of single only allows entry for
that user one time, then access will be denied. A Mode entry of multiple allows unlimited entries into the
GSP.
Removing Users
You can remove (disable) a GSP user with the same Security options and access control (SO) command used to
add a user.
To remove a user, perform the following steps:
1. Go into the GSP with the ctrl+b entry.
2. At the GSP prompt, enter the Security options and access control (SO) command:
GSP> so
3. The first prompt you will see with the so command is for GSP wide parameters:
GSP wide parameters are:
. Login Timeout: 1 minutes.
. Number of password Faults allowed: 3
. Flow Control Timeout: 5 minutes.
Do you want to modify the GSP wide parameters? (Y / [N]) __
At this point you can modify the GSP wide parameters, or continue with removing a user. To remove
users, respond N for no.
NOTE
You will have to step through each user number until you reach the user to be removed.
4. When you access the number of the user to be removed, you must change the data in the prompts for that
number.
It is important that, at a minimum, you need to modify the User’s state to Disabled.

Changing the Default GSP Configuration
This section describes the process of changing GSP default configurations. To change the GSP default
configuration, perform the following steps:
1. Go into the GSP with the ctrl+b entry.
2. At the GSP prompt, enter the Default Configuration (dc) command:
GSP> dc
3. Follow the prompts for the dc command, and be sure to have the change information available.
CAUTION
When the Security configuration is reset, all users are removed, including the GSP
administrator. It also disables the remote. Remote must be re-enabled through the main
console using the Enable Remote (er) command.

Accessing Guardian Service Processor Internal Port
Accessing Guardian Service Processor Internal Port
The Guardian Service Processor (GSP) internal port can be used as a “back door” to reset security options in
case the GSP administrator password is forgotten, for example. It can also be used in order to upgrade the
GSP firmware from an HP-UX session. The internal port needs to be configured in order to use it.
NOTE
Updating the Guardian Service Processor via the Internal Port is not supported on the HP
e3000 server.
1. On the system, the GSP internal port should be /dev/tty1p0.
2. SAM does not configure the GSP internal port.
3. If the device file is not present, it can be created as follows:
#cd/dev
#mknod tty1p0 c 1 0x010000
4. Since this allows unrestricted access to the GSP and bypasses GSP security features (no user or password
required). Make sure to delete this device file when you have finished using it.
5. The internal port can be accessed via terminal emulators such as cu. To use cu, you need the follow
entries (the entries must be exactly as shown):
/usr/lib/uucp/Systems needs the following entry:
gspiport Any;5 gspiport,f900 - ‘‘‘‘\r\d\r\d\r ogin:-BREAK-
ogin: uucp asswrd: uucp-BREAK-ogin: uucp asswrd: uucp
The spelling looks unusual, but it needs to be exactly as shown.
/usr/lib/uucp/Devices needs the following entry:
gspiport tty1p0 - 9600 direct
6. when all of the configuration is done, you should be able to access the GSP internal port with the cu
command:
cu-1/dev/tty1p0
7. To terminate the cu session, use “~.” [return]
8. Kermit can also be used to access the special device file. See the kermit web pages for details.
CAUTION
Securing the /dev/tty1p0 device file with root capabilities will not prevent non-root users from
accessing the GSP internal port. This is due to the fact that cu and kermit carry root access and
run with the sticky bit enabled.
To secure the internal port from unauthorized use, be sure to remove the /dev/tty1p0 file after
using it.

Adding a Disk Drive to an HP-UX System
Adding a Disk Drive to an HP-UX System
The internal disk drives (A upper and B lower) are located in the back of the SPU. The internal disk drives are
hot swapable when the proper software and hardware procedures are followed.
To add a disk drive in the SPU, perform the following hardware steps:
1. Align the new disk drive into the disk tray and insert the four (2 on each side) mounting screws to secure
the disk to the tray.
2. Align the disk and tray assembly to the empty slot in the back of the SPU.
3. Carefully slide the disk into the SPU until it firmly seats into the disk card. Note that the guide tabs on
each side of the disk tray fully seat to the guide pins on the chassis.
4. Angle the bottom of the disk cover plate into the SPU so that the hooked tabs go over the extended pins
inside the chassis. This acts like a hinge for the cover.
5. Push the top of the cover plate towards the SPU until it is flush with the chassis and fully seated.
6. Tighten the single, captive mounting screw.
To view the video, click here.
Once you have completed the addition of the disk drive, you must perform the Hot swap procedure:
Hot Swap Software Procedure
NOTE
HP often uses different manufacturers for disks having the same product number. This hot
swap procedure will not automatically update the disk driver’s internal manufacturer
information to that of the added disk drive.
Step 1. Do an ioscan on the added disk drive to ensure that it is accessible an also as a double check that it
is a proper installation. Refer to the above note. For example:
# ioscan /dev/dsk/cXtXdX
Step 2. Create a physical volume using pvcreate with the -B option. -B creates an area on the disk for a LIF
volume, boot utilities, and a BDRA (Boot Data Reserved Area). For example,
143

Adding a Disk Drive to an HP-UX System
# pvcreate -B /dev/rdsk/cXtXdX
Step 3. Create a directory for the volume group using mkdir.
Step 4. Create a device file named group in the above directory with the mknod command.
Step 5. Create the root volume group specifying each physical volume to be included using vgcreate. For
example:
vgcreate /dev/vgroot /dev/dsk/cXtXdX
Step 6. Use mkboot to place boot utilities in the boot area:
mkboot /dev/rdsk/cXtXdX
Step 7. Use mkboot -a to add an AUTO file in boot LIF area, for example:
mkboot -a ‘’hpux (52.3.0;0)/stand/vmunix’’ /dev/rdsk/cXtXdX
Step 8. Create the root logical volume. You must specify contiguous extents (-C y) with bad block relocation
disabled (-r n). For example,
lvcreate -C y -r n root /dev/vgroot
Step 9. Extend the mirrors onto the disk you’ve added. For example:
lvextend -m 1 <LV name> /dev/vgroot/root /dev/dsk/cXtXdX
Step 10. Specify that logical volume be used as the root logical volume, for example:
lvln -r /dev/vgroot/root
At this point you will need to create a file system on the disk. Refer to your HP-UX system administration
documentation.
Hot Swap Procedure for Unattached Physical Volumes
Follow these steps to replace a hot swap disk drive for unattached physical volumes.
NOTE
HP often uses different manufacturers for disks having the same product number. This hot
swap procedure will not automatically update the disk driver’s internal manufacturer
information to that of the added disk drive.
Step 1. Do an ioscan on the replaced disk drive to ensure that it is accessible an also as a double check that
it is a proper replacement. Refer to the above note. For example:
# ioscan /dev/dsk/c2t4d0

Adding a Disk Drive to an HP-UX System
Step 2. Create a physical volume using pvcreate with the -B option. -B creates an area on the disk for a LIF
volume, boot utilities, and a BDRA (Boot Data Reserved Area). For example:
# pvcreate -B /dev/rdsk/cXtXdX
Step 3. Create a directory for the volume group using mkdir.
Step 4. Create a device file named group in the above directory with the mknod command.
Step 5. Create the root volume group specifying each physical volume to be included using vgcreate. For
example,
# vgcreate /dev/vgroot /dev/dsk/cXtXdX
Step 6. Use mkboot to place boot utilities in the boot area:
# mkboot /dev/rdsk/cXtXdX
Step 7. Use mkboot -a to add an AUTO file in boot LIF area, for example:
# mkboot -a ‘’hpux (52.3.0;0)/stand/vmunix’’ /dev/rdsk/cXtXdX
Step 8. Create the root logical volume. You must specify contiguous extents (-C y) with bad block relocation
disabled (-r n). For example,
# lvcreate -C y -r n root /dev/vgroot
Step 9. Attach the new disk drive to the active volume group with the vgchange command.
# vgchange -a y <volume group name>
For example:
# vgchange -a y /dev/vg00
Step 10. After running the mkboot command, do an lvlnboot -R to link the added disk drive into the boot
data reserved area of all the physical volumes in the volume group.
# lvlnboot -R
Step 11. Create mirrors on the disk you’ve added. For example,
lvextend -m 1 <LV name> /dev/vgroot/root /dev/dsk/cXtXdX
Step 12. Synchronize the mirrors. This may take several minutes as it will have to copy all the data from the
original copy of the data to the mirrored extents. The logical volume(s) are still accessible to users’
applications during this command.
#vgsync <VG name>
For example:
#vgsync /dev/vg00
At this point the system should be fully functional.

Add-On Memory
Add-On Memory
Follow these procedures to add memory to an rp7400 server.
Memory Configuration Rules
rp7400 systems support up to 4 memory carriers (numbered 0, 1, 2, and 3), each with slots for 4 memory
DIMM pairs (numbered 0a/b, 1a/b, 2a/b, and 3a/b). For the DIMMs to work, both DIMMs in a slot pair must
be the same type (i.e., the same part number).
•
Performance considerations. For best performance, install DIMMs evenly among the carriers, loading
carriers 0, 1, 2, and 3 in sequence. For example, four 512MB memory DIMM pairs should be loaded into
slot 0a/b on carrier 0, then slot 0a/b on carrier 1, and so on.
Although not a requirement for performance, the largest memory sizes should be installed first, making it
more convenient if the memory DIMMs are re-sequenced at a later time.
•
Cooling considerations. The following will help optimize air flow cooling within the system.
Always install memory carriers in the sequence 0, 1, 2, than 3. For example, if you have only two memory
carriers, make sure they are installed as carrier 0 and carrier 1.
Install DIMMs into the carriers in the following slot order: 0a/b, 1a/b, 2a/b, 3a/b.
NOTE
The most important rule is that DIMMs of the same type are distributed evenly amongst the
carriers. If necessary, remove and re-sequence existing memory modules to balance
the distribution; otherwise, a PDC error may occur.
Procedure Overview
1. Remove power from the system.
2. Remove the front bezel.
3. Extend the SPU out the back of the cabinet.
4. Remove the back top cover
5. Remove the back air baffle
6. Remove the memory carrier.
7. Install new memory DIMMs in the memory carrier.
8. Reinstall the memory carrier.
9. Replace the back air baffle
10. Replace the top cover.
11. Slide the SPU back into the cabinet.
12. Replace the front bezel.
13. Power ON the SPU.

Add-On Memory
The memory DIMM resides in slots located on the memory carrier. The memory DIMMs are loaded
in DIMM pairs.
Memory DIMMs are keyed and only install into a memory carrier one way. Memory DIMMs are
only installed in matched (memory size) pairs. Be sure the memory DIMM being installed is
matched to the appropriate DIMM in the pair slot.
To add a memory DIMM in the memory carrier:
a. Align the memory DIMM over the correct memory carrier slot. Be sure the extractor levers are
in the open position (angled out from the memory slot).
b. Firmly and evenly (pressure on both ends of the memory DIMM) press the memory DIMM into
the memory carrier slot until the memory DIMM fully seats and the extractor levers are up
against the outside edges of the memory DIMM.
c. Pick up the memory carrier and visually check to see that all memory DIMMs are seated fully.
No memory DIMM card edge should be higher than the others. This indicates that a memory
DIMM is not fully seated into the memory carrier slot. Press firmly on the raised edge to seat
the memory DIMM into its’ socket.
d. Replace the memory DIMM hold down bracket.
Step 8. Replace the Memory Carrier
The memory carriers (up to four) are located along the back of the SPU. Memory carriers are

NOTE
Be sure to plug all three power cords into the back of the SPU. Also be sure the
cabinet PDU is plugged into an appropriate wall outlet.
d. Put the power switch in the on (|) position. At this time you will hear the cooling fans coming up
to speed and being synchronized. This creates a high pitched squeak for a few seconds. The fans
should drop to normal speed within a few seconds. If not check the front panel or console for
fault indications.
e. Check all front panel LEDs for normal indications, with no warnings ar faults indicated.
The SPU should take a few minutes to perform all selftests and initialization routines. At the end of
this you should be able to launch the operating system or initiate other software routines.
Step 14. Verify the Installation
Issue the ME command in the boot console handler to verify the system recognizes the new memory

Add I/O Cards
Add I/O Cards
The rp7400 server has 12 expansion I/O slots accessible through side panels on the rear of the SPU chassis.
Six slots are located on each of the two sides.
Slots 3 through 12 are “TwinTurbo” slots supporting 66MHz, 64-bit I/O cards. Slots 1 and 2 are “Turbo” slots
supporting cards with lower speed and bandwidth. If higher speed cards are installed in slots 1 or 2, they will
function but their performance will be reduced. Similarly, slower cards can be installed in slots 3 through 12,
but their performance will not be improved.
There are two configuration rules to consider:
•

Load the slowest cards in slots 1 and 2.
When possible, balance the total number of PCI cards between the two sides. E.g., when adding four PCI
cards, install two on the right (slots 1 through 6) and two on the left (slots 7 through 12).
CAUTION
If you are installing the A3783A 10/100Base-TX LAN card, do not connect any type of MAU
transceiver to the AUI connector while the system is powered up. Doing so will cause power to
be shut off to the I/O slot and will generate a High Priority Machine Check (HPMC) error.
If you are going to connect a MAU transceiver to this card’s AUI connector, make sure the
system is powered down first. When the system is powered back on, this connection will then
not generate an error condition.
Refer to the instructions shipped with this LAN card for further information.

Step 1. Remove Power from the System.
CAUTION
Before starting any shut down type procedures, be sure to check with the System
Administrator or customer to ensure a system backup has been performed recently.
To shut down and power off the N Class computer system, perform the following steps.
a. Stop all active applications.
b. Perform a normal Operating System shut down, informing all logged on users of the impending
shut down.
c. Put the power switch in the standby position.
CAUTION
With the power switch in the standby position, there is still power to the inside of
the SPU.
d. Remove A.C. from the SPU by unplugging the power cords (up to 3) from the back of the SPU.
Step 2. Remove the Front Bezel
a. Grasp the front bezel on each side.
b. Pull the front bezel away from the cabinet.
Step 3. Extend the SPU out the Back of the System
CAUTION
Be aware of the cables at the back of the SPU while moving the SPU in or out of the
cabinet.
To extend the SPU out the back of the cabinet:
a. Remove the four (two on each side) retainer screws, holding the bezel flange to the cabinet
vertical post.
b. Carefully extend the SPU out the front of the cabinet approximately 2 to 4 inches.
c. Loosen the six (three on each side) mounting screws holding the bezel brackets to the side of the
SPU.
d. Lift the bezel bracket up and off the SPU chassis. Be sure that both left and right side brackets
are removed.
e. Be sure the rear door is open and does not swing closed during the SPU movement. If necessary
the rear door can be removed
f. Carefully extend the SPU out the back of the cabinet until the stops on the rails halt rearward
motion.
NOTE
It is recommended that you pull the SPU from the back of the cabinet. This allows
you to monitor the cable movement to avoid snags and tangles with other SPUs or
cables.

The SPU should now be fully extended out the back of the cabinet.
WARNING
Only extend one SPU at a time. Never attempt to extend more that one SPU
for any reason.
Step 4. Remove the PCI Cover Plate
NOTE
Steps 4 through 8 apply to the six PCI card slots on either side of the SPU. As viewed
from the rear of the cabinet, slots 1 through 6 are on the left side. The lowermost slot
in the array is slot 1. Slots 7 through 12 are on the right side, with slot 7 being the
lowermost slot in the array.
a. Loosen the two captive screws at the end of the I/O card slot cover.
b. Swing the cover away and off of the SPU.
Step 5. Insert the I/O Card Into the Slot
NOTE
The PCI card slots have separators which protect against touching adjacent cards
when plugging in PCI cards. The separators also have tabs which facilitate removing
the cards.
a. Remove the metal slot cover, if present, at the rear of the SPU.
b. Align the PCI card with the appropriate slot.
c. Insert the PCI card into the card cage, between the separator/extractor cards.
d. Press firmly on the PCI card to be sure it is fully seated.
Step 6. Replace the PCI Cover Plate
a. Swing the I/O slot cover closed.
b. Tighten the two captive screws at the end of the slot cover.
NOTE
The PCI card slots have separators which protect against touching adjacent cards
when plugging in PCI cards. The separators also have tabs which facilitate removing
the cards.
Step 7. Insert the SPU Back Into the Cabinet
CAUTION
Be aware of the cables at the back of the SPU while moving the SPU in or out of the
cabinet.
To insert the SPU into the cabinet from the back:
a. Carefully insert the SPU all the way into the cabinet until the front of the SPU sticks out the
front approximately 2 to 4 inches.

b. Align the left and right bezel bracket key slots over the three bracket screws on each side of the
SPU.
c. Slide the bezel brackets down and tighten the six (three on each side) bracket screws.
d. Carefully push the SPU back into the cabinet until the bezel brackets contact the cabinet
vertical rails.
e. Insert the four (two on each side, T25) SPU retainer screws, located just below and above bezel
snap tabs.
Check all cables to be sure none have been loosened during the previous procedure. Close or replace
the rear door.
Step 8. Replace the Front Bezel
To replace the front bezel, perform the following steps:
a. Align the front bezel over the front of the SPU.
b. Press the front bezel onto the cabinet until it snaps into place.
Step 9. Power the System On
CAUTION
Before applying A.C. power to an rp7400 computer, be sure all covers and cooling
fans are properly installed. Failure to perform this check could result in decreased
computer component life and reliability.
a. Be sure all connected peripherals are on, with no errors or faults indicated.
b. Be sure the SPU power switch is in the standby (0) position.
CAUTION
When the power cords are connected to the SPU, there will be power present
inside the SPU chassis, even with the power switch in the standby position.
c. Carefully insert the A.C. power cords (3) into the line filter receptacles at the back of the SPU.
NOTE
Be sure to plug all three power cords into the back of the SPU. Also be sure the
cabinet PDU is plugged into an appropriate wall outlet.
d. Put the power switch in the on (|) position. At this time you will hear the cooling fans coming up
to speed and being synchronized. This creates a high pitched squeak for a few seconds. The fans
should drop to normal speed within a few seconds. If not check the front panel or console for
fault indications.
e. Check all front panel LEDs for normal indications, with no warnings ar faults indicated.
The SPU should take a few minutes to perform all selftests and initialization routines. At the end of
this you should be able to launch the operating system or initiate other software routines.
Step 10. Verify the Procedure
Run the ioscan utility to ensure the system recognizes the I/O card.
