OperationsPower up the server bladeThe OA initiates an automatic power-up sequence when the server blade is installed. If the default setting ischanged, use one of the following methods to power up the server blade: Use a virtual power button selection through HP iLO. Press and release the Power On/Standby button.When the server blade goes from the standby mode to the full power mode, the system power LED changesfrom amber to solid green. The health status LED bar flashes green when the Power On/Standby Buttonservice is being initialized. For more information about the system power LED status, see "Front panel LEDs("Front panel LEDs and buttons" on page 6)."For more information about the OA, see the enclosure setup and installation guide on the HP website(http://www.hp.com/support/oa).For more information about HP iLO, see "HP iLO (on page 46)."Power down the server bladeBefore powering down the server blade for any upgrade or maintenance procedures, perform a backup ofcritical server data and programs.IMPORTANT: When the server blade is in standby mode, auxiliary power is still being providedto the system.Depending on the OA configuration, use one of the following methods to power down the server blade: Press and release the Power On/Standby button.This method initiates a controlled shutdown of applications and the OS before the server blade entersstandby mode. Press and hold the Power On/Standby button for more than 4 seconds to force the server blade to enterstandby mode.This method forces the server blade to enter standby mode without properly exiting applications and theOS. If an application stops responding, you can use this method to force a shutdown. Use a virtual power button selection through HP iLO.This method initiates a controlled remote shutdown of applications and the OS before the server bladeenters standby mode. Use the OA CLI to execute one of the following commands:opoweroff server [bay number]This command initiates a controlled shutdown of applications and the OS before the server bladeenters standby mode.opoweroff server [bay number] forceOperations11
This form of the command forces the server blade to enter standby mode without properly exitingapplications and the OS. If an application stops responding, this method forces a shutdown. Use the OA GUI to initiate a shutdown:a. Select the Enclosure Information tab.b. In the Device Bays item, select the Overall checkbox.c.From the Virtual Power menu, initiate a shutdown of applications and the OS:— For a controlled shutdown, select Momentary Press.— For an emergency shutdown, select Press and Hold.Before proceeding, verify the server blade is in standby mode by observing that the system power LED isamber.Remove the server bladeTo remove the component:1.Identify the proper server blade.2.Power down the server blade (on page 11).3.Remove the server blade.4.Place the server blade on a flat, level work surface.WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and theinternal system components to cool before touching them.CAUTION: To prevent damage to electrical components, properly ground the server bladebefore beginning any installation procedure. Improper grounding can cause ESD.Operations12
Remove the access panelTo remove the component:1.Power down the server blade (on page 11).2.Remove the server blade (on page 12).3.Press the access panel release button.4.Slide the access panel towards the rear of the server blade, and then lift to remove the panel.Install the access panel1.Place the access panel on top of the server blade.2.Slide the access panel forward until it clicks into place.Remove the front panel/hard drive cage assembly1.Power down the server blade (on page 11).2.Remove the server blade (on page 12).3.Remove the access panel (on page 13).CAUTION: Always remove the SAS controller before removing the front panel/drive cageassembly.4.Extend the serial label pull tab from the front of the server blade.5.Remove the two T-15 screws from the front panel/drive cage assembly.6.Remove the front panel/drive cage assembly.Remove the DIMM baffle1.Power down the server blade (on page 11).Operations13
2.Remove the server blade (on page 12).3.Remove the access panel (on page 13).4.Disconnect the capacitor pack cabling, if connected ("FBWC capacitor pack cabling" on page 42).5.Remove one or more DIMM baffles.oDIMM baffle (left side)oDIMM baffle (right side)Operations14
Remove the SAS controller1.Power down the server blade (on page 11).2.Remove the server blade (on page 12).3.Remove the access panel (on page 13).4.Disconnect the capacitor pack cabling, if connected ("FBWC capacitor pack cabling" on page 42).CAUTION: Always remove the SAS controller before removing the drive cage.CAUTION: Always be sure that both captive screws are disengaged before removing the SAScontroller. Failure to disengage the screws may result in damage to the SAS controller or the SASbackplane and bracket.5.Remove the SAS controller.Install the SAS controller1.Power down the server blade (on page 11).2.Remove the server blade (on page 12).3.Remove the access panel (on page 13).4.Disconnect the FBWC battery pack cabling, if connected ("FBWC capacitor pack cabling" on page42).IMPORTANT: Always close the SAS controller handle before installing the SAS controller.Operations15
5.Close the SAS controller handle and then install the SAS controller. To properly seat the SAS controller,press firmly in the areas indicated on the SAS controller.Operations16
