1 Customer self repair
HP products are designed with many Customer Self Repair (CSR) parts to minimize repair time
and allow for greater flexibility in performing defective parts replacement. If during the diagnosis
period HP (or HP service providers or service partners) identifies that the repair can be
accomplished by the use of a CSR part, HP will ship that part directly to you for replacement.
There are two categories of CSR parts:
Mandatory Parts for which customer self repair is mandatory. If you request HP to replace
these parts, you will be charged for the travel and labor costs of this service.
Optional Parts for which customer self repair is optional. These parts are also designed
for customer self repair. If, however, you require that HP replace them for you, there may
or may not be additional charges, depending on the type of warranty service designated for
your product.

NOTE: Some HP parts are not designed for customer self repair. In order to satisfy the customer
warranty, HP requires that an authorized service provider replace the part. These parts are
identified as "No" in the Illustrated Parts Catalog.
Based on availability and where geography permits, CSR parts will be shipped for next business
day delivery. Same day or four-hour delivery may be offered at an additional charge where
geography permits. If assistance is required, you can call the HP Technical Support Center and
a technician will help you over the telephone. HP specifies in the materials shipped with a
replacement CSR part whether a defective part must be returned to HP. In cases where it is
required to return the defective part to HP, you must ship the defective part back to HP within
a defined period of time, normally five (5) business days. The defective part must be returned
with the associated documentation in the provided shipping material. Failure to return the
defective part may result in HP billing you for the replacement. With a customer self repair, HP
will pay all shipping and part return costs and determine the courier/carrier to be used.
For more information about HP's Customer Self Repair program, contact your local service
provider. For the North American program, refer to the HP website
(http://www.hp.com/go/selfrepair).

Rparation par le client (CSR)


Les produits HP comportent de nombreuses pices CSR (Customer Self Repair = rparation par
le client) afin de minimiser les dlais de rparation et faciliter le remplacement des pices
dfectueuses. Si pendant la priode de diagnostic, HP (ou ses partenaires ou mainteneurs agrs)
dtermine que la rparation peut tre effectue l'aide d'une pice CSR, HP vous l'envoie
directement. Il existe deux catgories de pices CSR:
Obligatoire Pices pour lesquelles la rparation par le client est obligatoire. Si vous
demandez HP de remplacer ces pices, les cots de dplacement et main d'uvre du
service vous seront facturs.
Facultatif Pices pour lesquelles la rparation par le client est facultative. Ces pices sont
galement conues pour permettre au client d'effectuer lui-mme la rparation. Toutefois,
si vous demandez HP de remplacer ces pices, l'intervention peut ou non vous tre facture,
selon le type de garantie applicable votre produit.
REMARQUE: Certaines pices HP ne sont pas conues pour permettre au client d'effectuer
lui-mme la rparation. Pour que la garantie puisse s'appliquer, HP exige que le remplacement
de la pice soit effectu par un Mainteneur Agr. Ces pices sont identifies par la mention
"Non" dans le Catalogue illustr.

Rparation par le client (CSR) 7

votre situation gographique. Si votre situation gographique le permet et que vous demandez
une livraison le jour mme ou dans les 4 heures, celle-ci vous sera facture. Pour bnficier d'une
assistance tlphonique, appelez le Centre d'assistance technique HP. Dans les documents envoys
avec la pice de rechange CSR, HP prcise s'il est ncessaire de lui retourner la pice dfectueuse.

pice et sa documentation doivent tre retournes dans l'emballage fourni. Si vous ne retournez
pas la pice dfectueuse, HP se rserve le droit de vous facturer les cots de remplacement. Dans

Riparazione da parte del cliente


Per abbreviare i tempi di riparazione e garantire una maggiore flessibilit nella sostituzione di
parti difettose, i prodotti HP sono realizzati con numerosi componenti che possono essere riparati
direttamente dal cliente (CSR, Customer Self Repair). Se in fase di diagnostica HP (o un centro
di servizi o di assistenza HP) identifica il guasto come riparabile mediante un ricambio CSR, HP
lo spedir direttamente al cliente per la sostituzione. Vi sono due categorie di parti CSR:
Obbligatorie Parti che devono essere necessariamente riparate dal cliente. Se il cliente ne
affida la riparazione ad HP, deve sostenere le spese di spedizione e di manodopera per il
servizio.
Opzionali Parti la cui riparazione da parte del cliente facoltativa. Si tratta comunque di
componenti progettati per questo scopo. Se tuttavia il cliente ne richiede la sostituzione ad
HP, potrebbe dover sostenere spese addizionali a seconda del tipo di garanzia previsto per
il prodotto.
NOTA: alcuni componenti HP non sono progettati per la riparazione da parte del cliente. Per
rispettare la garanzia, HP richiede che queste parti siano sostituite da un centro di assistenza
autorizzato. Tali parti sono identificate da un "No" nel Catalogo illustrato dei componenti.
In base alla disponibilit e alla localit geografica, le parti CSR vengono spedite con consegna
entro il giorno lavorativo seguente. La consegna nel giorno stesso o entro quattro ore offerta
con un supplemento di costo solo in alcune zone. In caso di necessit si pu richiedere l'assistenza
telefonica di un addetto del centro di supporto tecnico HP. Nel materiale fornito con una parte
di ricambio CSR, HP specifica se il cliente deve restituire dei componenti. Qualora sia richiesta
la resa ad HP del componente difettoso, lo si deve spedire ad HP entro un determinato periodo
di tempo, generalmente cinque (5) giorni lavorativi. Il componente difettoso deve essere restituito
con la documentazione associata nell'imballo di spedizione fornito. La mancata restituzione del
componente pu comportare la fatturazione del ricambio da parte di HP. Nel caso di riparazione
da parte del cliente, HP sostiene tutte le spese di spedizione e resa e sceglie il corriere/vettore da
utilizzare.
Per ulteriori informazioni sul programma CSR di HP contattare il centro di assistenza di zona.
Per il programma in Nord America fare riferimento al sito Web HP
(http://www.hp.com/go/selfrepair).

Customer Self Repair


Veel onderdelen in HP producten zijn door de klant zelf te repareren, waardoor de reparatieduur
tot een minimum beperkt kan blijven en de flexibiliteit in het vervangen van defecte onderdelen
groter is. Deze onderdelen worden CSR-onderdelen (Customer Self Repair) genoemd. Als HP
(of een HP Service Partner) bij de diagnose vaststelt dat de reparatie kan worden uitgevoerd met
een CSR-onderdeel, verzendt HP dat onderdeel rechtstreeks naar u, zodat u het defecte onderdeel
daarmee kunt vervangen. Er zijn twee categorien CSR-onderdelen:
Verplicht: Onderdelen waarvoor reparatie door de klant verplicht is. Als u HP verzoekt
deze onderdelen voor u te vervangen, worden u voor deze service reiskosten en arbeidsloon
in rekening gebracht.
Optioneel: Onderdelen waarvoor reparatie door de klant optioneel is. Ook deze onderdelen
zijn ontworpen voor reparatie door de klant. Als u echter HP verzoekt deze onderdelen
voor u te vervangen, kunnen daarvoor extra kosten in rekening worden gebracht, afhankelijk
van het type garantieservice voor het product.
OPMERKING: Sommige HP onderdelen zijn niet ontwikkeld voor reparatie door de klant. In
verband met de garantievoorwaarden moet het onderdeel door een geautoriseerde Service
Partner worden vervangen. Deze onderdelen worden in de gellustreerde onderdelencatalogus
aangemerkt met "Nee".
Afhankelijk van de leverbaarheid en de locatie worden CSR-onderdelen verzonden voor levering
op de eerstvolgende werkdag. Levering op dezelfde dag of binnen vier uur kan tegen meerkosten
worden aangeboden, indien dit mogelijk is gezien de locatie. Indien assistentie gewenst is, belt
u een HP Service Partner om via de telefoon technische ondersteuning te ontvangen. HP vermeldt
in de documentatie bij het vervangende CSR-onderdeel of het defecte onderdeel aan HP moet
worden geretourneerd. Als het defecte onderdeel aan HP moet worden teruggezonden, moet u
het defecte onderdeel binnen een bepaalde periode, gewoonlijk vijf (5) werkdagen, retourneren
aan HP. Het defecte onderdeel moet met de bijbehorende documentatie worden geretourneerd
in het meegeleverde verpakkingsmateriaal. Als u het defecte onderdeel niet terugzendt, kan HP
u voor het vervangende onderdeel kosten in rekening brengen. Bij reparatie door de klant betaalt
HP alle verzendkosten voor het vervangende en geretourneerde onderdeel en kiest HP zelf welke
koerier/transportonderneming hiervoor wordt gebruikt.

Safety considerations
Before performing service procedures, review the following safety information.

Preventing electrostatic discharge


To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when setting
up the system and handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor
can damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage can reduce the
life expectancy of the server, component or port.

Required tools 23
To prevent electrostatic damage:
Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free
workstations.
Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.

Server warnings and cautions


Before installing a server, be sure that you understand the following warnings and cautions.

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.
Unplug the power cord from the power supply to disconnect power to the equipment.
Do not route the power cord where it can be walked on or pinched by items placed against
it. Pay particular attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the cord extends
from the server.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the
internal system components to cool before touching them.

CAUTION: Do not operate the server for long periods with the access panel open or removed.
Operating the server in this manner results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can
lead to thermal damage.

Preparation procedures
To access some components and perform certain service procedures, you must perform one or
more of the following procedures:
Power down the server (page 25)
If you must remove a server from a rack or remove a non-hot-plug component from a server,
first power down the server.
Extending the server from the rack (page 25)
If you are performing service procedures in an HP, Compaq branded, telco, or third-party
rack, you can use the locking feature of the rack rails to support the server and gain access
to internal components.
For more information about telco rack solutions, refer to the RackSolutions.com website
(http://www.racksolutions.com/hp).
Removing the server from the rack (page 26)
If the rack environment, cabling configuration, or server location in the rack creates awkward
conditions, remove the server from the rack.
Removing the access panel (page 27)
If you are servicing internal components, remove the access panel.

Recovering data from the battery-backed write cache (page 47)

44 Removal and replacement procedures


CAUTION: Do not detach the cable that connects the battery pack to the cache module. Detaching
the cable causes any unsaved data in the cache module to be lost.

Removing the cache module

CAUTION: After the server is powered down, wait 15 seconds and then check the amber LED
before unplugging the cable from the cache module. If the amber LED blinks after 15 seconds,
do not remove the cable from the cache module. The cache module is backing up data, and data
is lost if the cable is detached.
1. Power down the server (Power down the server (page 25)).
2. Extend the server from the rack (Extending the server from the rack (page 25)).
3. Remove the access panel (Removing the access panel (page 27)).

5. Disconnect the cable from the cache module only if the battery pack is not being used to
recover data from the server or transfer data to another server.

CAUTION: Detaching the cable that connects the battery pack to the cache module while
it is being used to recover data from the server or transfer data to another server causes any
unsaved data in the cache module to be lost.

To replace the component, reverse the removal procedure.

46 Removal and replacement procedures


IMPORTANT: The battery pack might have a low charge when installed. In this case, a POST
error message displays when the server is powered up, indicating that the battery pack is
temporarily disabled. No action is necessary. The internal circuitry automatically recharges the
batteries and enables the battery pack. This process can take up to four hours. During this time,
the cache module functions properly, but without the performance advantage of the battery
pack.

NOTE: The data protection and the time limit also apply if a power outage occurs. When power
is restored to the system, an initialization process writes the preserved data to the hard drives.

Recovering data from the battery-backed write cache


If the server fails, you can recover any data temporarily trapped in the BBWC by using the
following procedure.

CAUTION: Before starting this procedure, read the information about protecting against
electrostatic discharge (Preventing electrostatic discharge (page 23)).
1. Perform one of the following tasks:
Set up a recovery server station using an identical server model. Do not install any
internal drives or BBWC in this server. (This is the preferred option.)
Find a server that has enough empty drive bays to accommodate all the drives from
the failed server and that meets all the other requirements for drive and array migration.
2. Power down the failed server. If any data is trapped in the cache module, an amber LED on
the module blinks every 15 seconds.

CAUTION: Do not detach the cable that connects the battery pack to the cache module.
Detaching the cable causes any unsaved data in the cache module to be lost.

3. Transfer the hard drives from the failed server to the recovery server station.
4. Remove the BBWC module (Removing the cache module (page 45)) and battery pack
(Removing the BBWC battery pack (page 45)) from the failed server.
5. Perform one of the following tasks:
Install the BBWC into an empty BBWC DIMM socket on the system board of the recovery
server.
Install the BBWC into an empty BBWC DIMM socket on any Smart Array Controller
in the recovery server.
6. Power up the recovery server. A 1759 POST message displays, stating that valid data was
flushed from the cache. This data is now stored on the drives in the recovery server. You
can now transfer the drives (and controller, if one was used) to another server.

Automatic Server Recovery


ASR is a feature that causes the system to restart when a catastrophic operating system error
occurs, such as a blue screen, ABEND, or panic. A system fail-safe timer, the ASR timer, starts
when the System Management driver, also known as the Health Driver, is loaded. When the
operating system is functioning properly, the system periodically resets the timer. However,
when the operating system fails, the timer expires and restarts the server.
ASR increases server availability by restarting the server within a specified time after a system
hang or shutdown. At the same time, the HP SIM console notifies you by sending a message to
a designated pager number that ASR has restarted the system. You can disable ASR from the
HP SIM console or through RBSU.

HP provides both standard USB support and legacy USB support. Standard support is provided
by the operating system through the appropriate USB device drivers. HP provides support for
USB devices before the operating system loads through legacy USB support, which is enabled

56 Diagnostic tools
by default in the system ROM. HP hardware supports USB version 1.1 or 2.0, depending on the
version of the hardware.
Legacy USB support provides USB functionality in environments where USB support is normally
not available. Specifically, HP provides legacy USB functionality for:
POST
RBSU
Diagnostics
DOS
Operating environments which do not provide native USB support
For more information on ProLiant USB support, refer to the HP website

3 Auxiliary Green This LED glows solid when 3.3 V auxiliary voltage is detected. The auxiliary
power voltage preserves BBWC data and is available any time that the system
power cords are connected to a power supply.

4 System power Green This LED glows solid when the system is powered up and 12 V system
power is available. This power supply maintains the battery charge and
provides supplementary power to the cache microcontroller.

Table 5-2 Battery health and BBWC status LED patterns


LED 3 pattern LED 4 pattern Interpretation

Flashing (1/2 Hz) The system is powered down, and the cache contains data that has not yet
been written to the drives. Restore system power as soon as possible to
prevent data loss.
Data preservation time is extended any time that 3.3 V auxiliary power is
available, as indicated by LED 2. In the absence of auxiliary power, battery
None power alone preserves the data. A fullycharged battery can normally preserve
data for at least two days.
The battery lifetime also depends on the cache module size. For further
information, refer to the controller QuickSpecs on the HP website

IMPORTANT: To ensure the ProLiant DL785 G5 Server has sufficient power during normal operation, a server
configured with HP supported high powered graphics cards rated at 225 W or more require high line (200 - 240 V)
ac server configuration. As a precaution, if these cards are installed on a low line (100 - 127 V) ac configured server
the server will halt at Power-On Self-Test with a "Power Supply Solution not Sufficient" message and only boot to
RBSU.
At POST, the ProLiant DL785 G5 server automatically detects whether the power supplies are connected to high-line
power or low-line power. If the server is configured with high powered graphics cards, the system will halt if it
detects that the server is plugged into low-line power. This occurs by design because system configured high power
graphics cards, with a large amount of memory, hard drives, or other options might require more power than can
be provided by low-line power. POST halts this low-line configuration as a precaution against the server having
insufficient power during operation.
If a you wish to operate a server with high power graphics cards when utilizing low-line power, the power supply
solution should be verified as sufficient using the ProLiant DL785 G5 power calculator at http://
h30099.www3.hp.com/configurator/calc/Power%20Calculator%20Catalog.xls. If the power solution
is not deemed sufficient, the server may not have sufficient power to operate normally. If the solution is deemed
sufficient, a ROM-Based Setup Utility option, outlined below, can be used to allow the system to operate in this
configuration.
If the ProLiant DL785 G5 power calculator has determined that the server can be reliably powered at low-line power
with high power graphics cards installed, perform the following steps to override the Power Supply Requirements
setting in ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU):
1. Power down the server and remove the high power graphics cards.
2. Power the server back on and press F9 during POST to access RBSU.
3. Select Advanced Options.
4. Scroll down to Power Supply Requirements Override and choose to enable it.
5. Power down the server and reinstall the graphics cards previously removed.
