At A Glance
The latest release of Superdome, HP Integrity Superdome supports the new and improved sx2000 chip set. The Integrity Superdome with the sx2000 chipset supported the Mad9M Itanium processor at initial release. HP Integrity Superdome currently supports the following processors: sx2000 Intel Itanium series 9100 1.6-GHz processor (Montvale) Intel Itanium series 9000 1.6-GHz processor (Montecito)1, 2 Intel Itanium 1.6 GHz processor (Madison 9M) (no longer offered) sx1000 (no longer offered as new systems) Intel Itanium 1.6 GHz processor (Madison 9M) HP mx2 processor module based on two Intel Itanium processors (no longer offered) The November 2007 release of Montvale was accompanied by the release of a new I/O chassis for Superdome. The mixed interface I/O chassis supports six slots of PCI-Express (PCIe) and six slots of PCI-X. The abbreviation PCIeX is used below to discuss this product. HP sx1000 Integrity Superdome supports mixing the Intel Itanium 1.6-GHz/9M processor and the HP mx2 processor module in the same system, but in different partitions, as long as they have the same chipset. All cell boards to be mixed in a system must contain the same chipset, sx1000 only. HP Integrity sx1000 Superdome supports mixing the Itanium 1.6-GHz/9M processor, PA 8800 and PA 8900 processors in the same system, but in different partitions, again only with the same chipset, sx1000. HP Integrity sx2000 Superdome supports mixing the Intel Itanium series 9000 and series 9100 , Itanium 1.6 GHz processor (Mad9M) and PA 8900 processors in the same system, but in different partitions, again only with the same chipset, sx2000. Throughout the rest of this document, the term HP sx1000 Integrity Superdome with Intel Itanium 1.6 GHz processors or mx2 processor modules will be referred to as simply "Superdome sx1000." The HP sx2000 Integrity Superdome with Intel Itanium series 9000 or series 9100 processors or single core Intel Itanium processors is refered to as "Superdome sx2000." Integrity Superdome (with Itanium processors) showcases HP's commitment to delivering a 64 processor Intel Itanium server and superior investment protection. It is the dawn of a new era in high end computing with the emergence of commodity based hardware. Superdome supports a multi OS environment. Currently, HP UX, Windows Server 2008, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES), and OpenVMS are shipping with Integrity Superdome sx1000. Customers can order any combination of HP UX 11i v2, Microsoft Windows Server 2008 for Itanium- based Systems, RHEL 4 or 5, SLES 9 or10 or OpenVMS running in separate hard partitions. With the release of HP Superdome sx2000 (with Intel Itanium series 9000 processors), HP-UX, Windows Server 2008, OpenVMS, and Linux are all supported in separate hard partitions. Some details of each Operating Environment offered by Superdome are listed below.
Unless otherwise noted, Montecito and Montvale specifications and features operate the same in Integrity Superdome. Montecito is Intel Itanium 9000 series and Montvale is Intel Itanium 9100 series. 2 As of July 1, 2008 the Montecito processor is only available as an add-on to existing Superdome systems.

Mixing of PA-RISC and Itanium Cells in Superdome
1) Which processors can be mixed in a Superdome? The first step in determining which processors can be mixed within a Superdome is to look at the chipset. A Superdome can only support one type of chipset (sx1000 or sx2000 chipset) at a time. With the sx1000 chipset, processors of like architectures (PA RISC and Itanium architectures) that are supported by the sx1000 chipset can be mixed in separate hard partitions. For example, the HP 9000 Superdome supports mixing the PA 8800 and PA 8900 processors in separate hard partitions. The HP Integrity Superdome supports mixing the Itanium 9M processors as well as the mx2 dual processor module in separate hard partitions. In addition, a subset of the PA RISC and Itanium processors (PA 8800, PA 8900 and Itanium 9M processors) can be supported at the same time in different hard partitions within a Superdome. With the sx2000 chipset, Intel Itanium processors (Montecito and Montvale) and Itanium 1.6 GHz (Mad9M) processors and PA-8900 are the supported processors, and like above, all of these types of processors can be mixed in separate hard partitions. The table below highlights which processors can co exist on a Superdome in separate hard partitions.

2) In order to run an Itanium-based partition in an Integrity server, what changes are required? In order to add a new partition with Itanium 9M processors on an HP 9000 Superdome, the following steps are required: Step #1: Upgrade firmware on PA-RISC based partitions Step #2: Create a new hard partition in the Superdome for Itanium based cell (s) Step #3: Plug in cell boards for Itanium based cells Step #4: Some I/O cards may need to be added for that specific hard partition (Windows does not support the identical set of I/O cards that HP-UX 11i supports) Step #5: Load operating system for Itanium based partition Upgrading a PA-RISC partition to support Itanium processors would require similar steps: Step #1: Upgrade firmware on PA-RISC based partitions Step #2: Pull out existing PA-RISC cell boards

Management Features

Integrity Superdome now supports the Console and Support Management Station in one device.

Service Processor (MP)

The service processor (MP) utility hardware is an independent support system for nPartition servers. It provides a way for you to connect to a server complex and perform administration or monitoring tasks for the server hardware and its nPartitions. The main features of the service processor include the Command menu, nPartition consoles, console logs, chassis code viewers, and partition Virtual Front Panels (live displays of nPartition and cell states). Access to the MP is restricted by user accounts. Each user account is password protected and provides a specific level of access to the Superdome complex and service processor commands. Multiple users can independently interact with the service processor because each service processor login session is private. Up to 16 users can simultaneously log in to the service processor through its network (customer LAN) interface and they can independently manage nPartitions or view the server complex hardware states. Two additional service processor login sessions can be supported by the local and remote serial ports. These allow for serial port terminal access(through the local RS-232 port) and external modem access (through the remote RS-232 port). In general, the service processor (MP) on Superdome servers is similar to the service processor on other HP servers, while providing enhanced features necessary for managing a multiple-nPartition server. For example, the service processor manages the complex profile, which defines nPartition configurations as well as complex-wide settings for the server. The service processor also controls power, reset, and TOC capabilities, displays and records system events (chassis codes), and can display detailed information about the various internal subsystems. Functional capabilities The primary features available through the service processor are: The Service Processor Command Menu: provides commands for system service, status, access configuration, and manufacturing tasks. Partition Consoles: Each nPartition in a server complex has its own DA - 11717 Worldwide Version 57 October 23, 2009 Page 21

Password secured access to the console functionality Support of generic terminals (i.e. VT100 compatible). Power supply control and monitoring from the console. It will be possible to get power supply status and to switch power on/off from the console. Console over the LAN. This means that a PC can become the system console if properly connected on the customer LAN. This feature becomes especially important because of the remote power management capability. The LAN will be implemented on a separate port, distinct from the system LAN, and provide TCP/IP and Telnet access. There is one MP per Superdome cabinet, thus there are two (2) for Superdome 64-processor. But one, and only one, can be active at a time. There is no redundancy or failover feature.

Windows Server 2008

For Windows Server 2008 customers desiring uninterrupted visibility to the Superdome Windows partition, it is recommended that customers purchase an IP console solution separately to view the partition while the OS is rebooting (in addition to normal Windows desktop if desired). Windows Terminal Services, which is a standard feature in Windows Server 2008, should be the recommended method to provide remote access, but is lacking in displaying VGA output during reboot. For customers who mandate VGA access during reboot, the IP console switch (AF6002), used in conjunction with a VGA/USB card in the partition (A6869B) is the solution. These IP console solutions are available "off the shelf" with resellers or the ProLiant supply chain. The features of this switch are as follows: Provides keyboard, video and mouse (KVM) connections to 16 direct attached Windows partitions (or servers) - expandable to 128. Allows access to partitions (or servers) from a remote centralized console. 1 for local KVM 3 concurrent remote users (secure SSL data transfer across network) Single screen switch management with the IP Console Viewer Software: Authentication Administration Client Software If the full graphical console access is needed, the following must be ordered with the Integrity Superdome purchase (it will not be integrated in the factory, but will ship with the system): Component 4x1x16 port KVM IP Console Switch. 1 switch per 16 Windows partitions, including the SMS (15 nPars + SMS). 8 to 1 console expander-Order expander if there are more than 16 OS instances USB interface adapters-Order one per OS instance CAT5 cable-Order one per OS instance Product Number AF6002 262589-B21 336047-B21

system configurations, enables replication of systems, permits post-installation customizations, and is capable of both interactive and unattended operating modes. Software Distributor (SD) is the HP-UX administration tool set used to deliver and maintain HP-UX operating systems and layered software applications. Delivered as part of HP-UX, SD can help you manage your HP-UX operating system, patches, and application software on HP Itanium2-based servers. System Administration Manager (SAM) is used to manage accounts for users and groups, perform auditing and security, and handle disk and file system management and peripheral device management. Servicecontrol Manager enables these tasks to be distributed to multiple systems and delegated using role based security. Configuration-for self-optimizing kernel changes. The new HP-UX Kernel HP-UX Kernel Configuration Configuration tool allows users to tune both dynamic and static kernel parameters quickly and easily from a Web based GUI to optimize system performance. This tool also sets kernel parameter alarms that notify you when system usage levels exceed thresholds. Partition Manager creates and manages nPartitions-hard partitions for high-end servers. Once the partitions are created, the systems running on those partitions can be managed consistently with all the other tools integrated into Servicecontrol Manager. Key features include: Easy-to-use, familiar graphical user interface. Runs locally on a partition, or remotely. The Partition Manager application can be run remotely on any system running HP UX 11i Version 2 and with Windows (HP Integrity Support Pack) to manage a complex either by 1) communicating with a booted OS on an nPartition in the target complex via WBEM, or 2) communicating with the service processor in the target complex via IPMI over LAN. The latter is especially significant because a complex can be managed with NONE of the nPartitions booted. Full support for creating, modifying, and deleting hardware partitions. Automatic detection of configuration and hardware problems. Ability to view and print hardware inventory and status. Big picture views that allow system administrators to graphically view the resources in a server and the partitions that the resources are assigned to. Complete interface for the addition and replacement of PCI devices. Comprehensive online help system. Security Patch Check determines how current a systems security patches are, recommends patches for continuing security vulnerabilities and warns administrators about recalled patches still present on the system. System Inventory Manager is for change and asset management. It allows you to easily collect, store and manage inventory and configuration information for HP-UX based servers. It provides an easy-to-use, Web-based interface, superior performance, and comprehensive reporting capabilities Event Monitoring Service (EMS) keeps the administrator of multiple systems aware of system operation throughout the cluster, and notifies the administrator of potential hardware or software problems before they occur. HP Servicecontrol Manager can launch the EMS interface and configure EMS monitors for any node or node group that belongs to the cluster, resulting in increased reliability and reduced downtime. Process Resource Manager (PRM) controls the resources that processes use during peak system load. PRM can manage the allocation of processor, memory resources, and disk bandwidth. It allows administrators to run multiple mission critical applications on a single system, improve response time for critical users and applications, allocate resources on shared servers based on departmental budget contributions, provide applications with total resource isolation, and dynamically change configuration at any time-even under load. (fee based) HP-UX Workload Manager (WLM) A key differentiator in the HP-UX family of management tools, Workload Manager provides automatic processor resource allocation and application performance management based on prioritized service-level objectives (SLOs). In addition, WLM

Page 28

allows administrators to set real memory and disk bandwidth entitlements (guaranteed minimums) to fixed levels in the configuration. The use of workload groups and SLOs improves response time for critical users, allows system consolidation, and helps manage user expectations for performance. (Fee-based) HP's Management Processor enables remote server management over the Web regardless of the system state. In the unlikely event that none of the nPartitions are booted, the Management Processor can be accessed to power cycle the server, view event logs and status logs, enable console redirection, and more. The Management Processor is embedded into the server and does not take a PCI slot. And, because secure access to the Management Processor is available through SSL encryption, customers can be confident that its powerful capabilities will be available only to authorized administrators. New features that will be available include: Support for Web Console that provides secure text mode access to the management processor Reporting of error events from system firmware. Ability to trigger the task of PCI OL* from the management processor. Ability to scan a cell board while the system is running. (only available for partitionable systems) Implementation of management processor commands for security across partitions so that partitions do not modify system configuration (only available for partitionable systems). Agent-collects and correlates OS and application events (fee based) OpenView Operations Agent Agent-determines OS and application performance trends (fee based) OpenView Performance Agent GlancePlus-shows real time OS and application availability and performance data to OpenView GlancePlus diagnose problems (fee based) OpenView Data Protector (Omniback II)-backs up and recovers data (fee based) In addition, the Network Node Manager (NNM) management station will run on HP-UX Itanium 2 based servers. NNM automatically discovers, draws (maps), and monitors networks and the systems connected to them. All other OpenView management tools, such as OpenView Operations, Service Desk, and Service Reporter, will be able to collect and process information from the agents running on Itanium 2-based servers running HP-UX. Microsoft Windows Server 2008 for Itanium-based Systems (sx1000 and sx2000) The HP Essentials Foundation Pack for Windows is a complete toolset to install, configure, and manage Itanium2 servers running Windows. Included in the Pack is the Smart Setup DVD which contains all the latest tested and compatible HP Windows drivers, HP firmware, HP Windows utilities, and HP management agents that assist in the server deployment process by preparing the server for installation of standard Windows operating system and in the on going management of the server. Please note that this is available for HP service personnel but not provided to end customers. Partition Manager and Partition Commands Two tools are available for managing nPartition (hard partition) configurations on Superdome. The first tool is the Partition Manager (parmgr) is a web-based application that allows system administrators to use a convenient graphical user interface (GUI) to configure and manage nPartitions on HP server systems. Partition Manager can also detect several types of configuration problems. Partition Manager can be accessed on the SMS through the System Management Homepage (see below). The second tool is Partition Commands (parCLI) is a set of command-line utilities for viewing and modifying the nPartition configuration of HP server systems. All functionality provided by the Partition Commands are also available via the Partition Manager GUI, however the commands may be used for scripting DA - 11717 Worldwide Version 57 October 23, 2009 Page 29

all the other tools integrated into Servicecontrol Manager. NOTE: At first release, Partition Manager will require an HP-UX 11i Version 2 partition or separate device (i.e. Itanium2 based workstation or server running HP-UX 11i Version 2) in order to configure Red Hat or SUSE partitions. Refer to HP UX section above for key features of Partition Manager. HP's Management Processor enables remote server management over the Web regardless of the system state. In the unlikely event that the operating system is not running, the Management Processor can be accessed to power cycle the server, view event logs and status logs, enable console redirection, and more. The Management Processor is embedded into the server and does not take a PCI slot. And, because secure access to the Management Processor is available through SSL encryption, customers can be confident that its powerful capabilities will be available only to authorized administrators. Support for Web Console that provides secure text mode access to the management processor Reporting of error events from system firmware. Ability to trigger the task of PCI OL* from the management processor. NOTE: Online addition/replacement (OLAR) is not supported when running Red Hat or SUSE in the partition. Ability to scan a cell board while the system is running.

Power Protection

Runtimes The UPS will provide battery backup to allow for a graceful shutdown in the event of a power failure. Typical runtime on the APC SL20KFB2 Silcon 3 Phase UPS varies with the kW rating and the load. The APC SL20KFB2 UPS provides a typical runtime of 36.7 minutes at half load and 10.7 at full load. If additional run time is needed please contact your APC representative Power Conditioning The APC SL20KFB2 provides unparalleled power conditioning with its Delta-Conversion on-line double conversion technology. This is especially helpful in regions were power is unstable. Continuous Power during Short Interruptions of Input Power The APC SL20KFB2 will provide battery backup to allow for continuous power to the connected equipment in the event of a brief interruption in the input power to the UPS. Transaction activity will continue during brief power outage periods as long as qualified UPS units are used to provide backup power to the SPU, the Expansion Modules, and all disk and disk array products. UPS Configuration Guidelines In general, the sum of the "Watt rating for UPS sizing" for all of the connected equipment should not exceed the watt rating of the UPS from which they all draw power. In previous configuration guides, this variable was called the "VA rating for UPS sizing." With Unity Power Factor, the Watt rating was the same as the kVA rating, so it didn't matter which one we used. VA is calculated by multiplying the voltage times the current. Watts, which is a measurement of true power, may be less than VA if the current and voltage are not in phase. APC SL20KFB2 has Unity Power Factory correction, so the kW rating equals the kVA rating. Be sure to add in the needs for the other peripherals and connected equipment. When sizing the UPS, allow for future growth as well. If the configuration guide or data sheet of the equipment you want to protect gives a VA rating, use this as the watt rating. If the UPS does not provide enough power for the additional devices such as system console and mass storage devices, additional UPSs may be required. Superdome The only qualified UPS available for use with Superdome is the APC SL20KFB2 Silcon 3 Phase 20-kW UPS. The APC SL20KFB2 can provide power protection for the SPU and peripherals. If the system console and primary mass storage devices also require power protection (which is highly recommended) they may require one or more additional UPSs depending on the total Watts. Make sure that the total watts do not exceed the UPS's voltage rating. Integration/Installation The APC SL20KFB2 includes both field integration start up service and next day on-site service for one year provide by APC.

Inspection Precautions

When the shipment arrives, check each container against the carrier's bill of lading. Inspect the exterior of each container immediately for mishandling or damage during transit. If any of the containers are damaged, request the carrier's agent be present when the container is opened. When unpacking the containers, inspect each item for external damage. Look for broken controls and connectors, dented corners, scratches, bent panels, and loose components.
NOTE: HP recommends keeping the shipping container and the packaging material. If it becomes necessary to repackage the cabinet, the original packing material is necessary. If discarding the shipping container or packaging material, dispose of them in an environmentally responsible manner (recycle, if possible).

Claims Procedures

If the shipment is incomplete, if the equipment is damaged, or it fails to meet specifications, notify the nearest HP Sales and Service Office. If damage occurred in transit, notify the carrier as well. HP will arrange for replacement or repair without waiting for settlement of claims against the carrier. In the event of damage in transit, retain the packing container and packaging materials for inspection.
Unpacking and Inspecting Hardware Components
This section describes the procedures for opening the shipping container and unpacking and inspecting the cabinet.

Tools Required

The following tools are required to unpack and install the system: Standard hand tools, such as a adjustable-end wrench ESD grounding strap Digital voltmeter capable of reading ac and dc voltages 1/2-inch socket wrench 9/16-inch wrench #2 Phillips screwdriver Flathead screwdriver Wire cutters or utility knife Safety goggles or glasses T-10, T-15, T-20, T-25, and T-30 Torx drivers 9-pin to 25-pin serial cable (HP part number 24542G) 9-pin to 9-pin null modem cable

Unpacking the Cabinet

WARNING! Use three people to unpack the cabinet safely.
HP recommends removing the cardboard shipping container before moving the cabinet into the computer room. NOTE: If unpacking the cabinet in the computer room, be sure to position it so that it can be moved into its final position easily. Notice that the front of the cabinet (Figure 3) is the side with the label showing how to align the ramps. To unpack the cabinet, follow these steps:
Position the packaged cabinet so that a clear area about three times the length of the package (about 12 feet or 3.66 m) is available in front of the unit, and at least 2 feet (0.61 m) are available on the sides. Figure 3 Front of Cabinet Container
WARNING! Do not stand directly in front of the strapping while cutting it. Hold the band above the intended cut and wear protective glasses. These bands are under tension. When cut, they spring back and can cause serious eye injury. 2. Cut the plastic polystrap bands around the shipping container (Figure 4 (page 11)). Figure 4 Cutting the Polystrap Bands

Lift the cardboard corrugated top cap off the shipping box. Remove the corrugated sleeves surrounding the cabinet. CAUTION: Cut the plastic wrapping material off rather than pulling it off. Pulling the plastic covering off creates an ESD hazard to the hardware.
Remove the stretch wrap, the front and rear top foam inserts, and the four corner inserts from the cabinet. Remove the ramps from the pallet and set them aside (Figure 5 (page 12)). Figure 5 Removing the Ramps from the Pallet
Remove the plastic antistatic bag by lifting it straight up off the cabinet. If the cabinet or any components are damaged, follow the claims procedure. Some damage can be repaired by replacing the damaged part. If you find extensive damage, you might need to repack and return the entire cabinet to HP. Inspecting the Cabinet To inspect the cabinet exterior for signs of shipping damage, follow these steps: 1. 2. Look at the top and sides for dents, warping, or scratches. Verify that the power supply mounting screws are in place and locked (Figure 6). Figure 6 Power Supply Mounting Screws Location
Verify that the I/O chassis mounting screws are in place and secure (Figure 7). Inspect all components for signs of shifting during shipment or any signs of damage. Figure 7 I/O Chassis Mounting Screws
Moving the Cabinet Off the Pallet 1. Remove the shipping strap that holds the BPSs in place during shipping (Figure 8 (page 15)). Failure to remove the shipping strap will obstruct air flow into the BPS and FEPS. Figure 8 Shipping Strap Location
Remove the pallet mounting brackets and pads on the side of the pallet where the ramp slots are located (Figure 9).
Figure 9 Removing the Mounting Brackets
WARNING! Do not remove the bolts on the mounting brackets that attach to the pallet. These bolts prevent the cabinet from rolling off the back of the pallet. 3. 4. On the other side of the pallet, remove only the bolt on each mounting bracket that is attached to the cabinet. Insert the ramps into the slots on the pallet. CAUTION: Make sure the ramps are parallel and aligned (Figure 10).
The casters on the cabinet must roll unobstructed onto the ramp.
Figure 10 Positioning the Ramps

The cabinet is now ready for shipment.

Setting Up the System

After a site is prepared, the system is unpacked, and all components are inspected, the system can be prepared for booting.

Attaching the Leveling Feet and Leveling the Cabinet
After positioning the cabinet in its final location, to attach and adjust the leveling feet, follow these steps: 1. 2. Remove the leveling feet from their packages. Attach the leveling feet to the cabinet using four T-25 screws. Figure 20 Attaching the Leveling Feet
Screw down each leveling foot clockwise until it is in firm contact with the floor. Adjust each foot until the cabinet is level.
Installing the Front Door Bezels and the Front and Rear Blower Bezels
Each cabinet has two doors, one at the front and one at the back. The back door is shipped on the chassis and requires no assembly. The front door, which is also shipped on the chassis, requires the assembly of two plastic bezels to its front surface and a cable from the door to the upper front bezel. In addition, you must install bezels that fit over the blowers at the front and back of the cabinet.
Installing the Front Door Bezels
The front door assembly includes two cosmetic covers, a control panel, and a key lock. To install the front door, you must connect the control panel ribbon cable from the chassis to the control panel and mount the two plastic bezels onto the metal chassis door. IMPORTANT: The procedure in this section requires two people and must be performed with the front metal chassis door open. To install the front door assembly, follow these steps: 1. 2. 3. Open the front door, unsnap the screen, and remove all the filters held in place with Velcro. Remove the cabinet keys that are taped inside the top front door bezel. Insert the shoulder studs on the lower door bezel into the holes on the front door metal chassis (Figure 21).
Figure 21 Installing the Lower Front Door Assembly
Using a T-10 driver, secure the lower door bezel to the front door chassis with 10 of the screws provided. Insert all screws loosely, then tighten them after the bezel is aligned. While another person holds the upper door bezel near the door chassis, attach the ribbon cable to the back of the control panel on the bezel and tighten the two flathead screws (Figure 22).
Figure 22 Installing the Upper Front Door Assembly

6. 7. 8.

Feed the grounding strap through the door and attach it to the cabinet. Insert the shoulder studs on the upper door bezel into the holes on the front door metal chassis. Using a T-10 driver, secure the upper door bezel to the metal door with eight of the screws provided. Be sure to press down on the hinge side of the bezel while tightening the screws to prevent misalignment of the bezel. Reattach all filters removed in step 1.

Installing and Verifying the PDCA
All systems are delivered with the appropriate cable plug for options 6 and 7 (Figure 25 (page 32)). Check the voltages at the receptacle prior to plugging in the PDCA plug. To verify the proper wiring for a 4-wire PDCA, use a digital voltmeter (DVM) to measure the voltage at the receptacle. Voltage must read 200240 V ac phase-to-phase as measured between the receptacle pins as follows: L1 to L2, L2 to L3, L1 to L3 (Figure 26 (page 32)). To verify the proper wiring for a 5-wire PDCA, use a DVM to measure the voltage at the receptacle. Voltage must read 200240 V ac phase-to-neutral as measured between the receptacle pins as follows: L1 to N, L2 to N, L3 to N (Figure 27 (page 33)).

Using a T-20 driver, attach the four screws that hold the PDCA in place. If required, repeat step 2 through step 4 for the second PDCA.
Reinstall the rear PDCA bezel. CAUTION: Do not measure voltages with the PDCA breaker set to ON. Make sure the electrical panel breaker is ON and the PDCA breaker is OFF.
Plug in the PDCA connector. Check the voltage at the PDCA: a. Using a T-20 driver, remove the screw on the hinged panel at the top of the PDCA. (Figure 29). b. Using a voltmeter, measure the test points and compare the values to the ranges given in Table 3 (page 34) to make sure the voltages conform to the specifications for the PDCA and local electrical specifications. If the voltage values do not match the specifications, have the customer contact an electrician to troubleshoot the problem.
Figure 29 Checking PDCA Test Points (5-Wire)
Table 3 4- and 5-Wire Voltage Ranges
4-Wire L2 to L3: 200-240 V L2 to L1: 200-240 V L1 to L3: 200-240 V 5-Wire L1 to N: 200-240 V L2 to N: 200-240 V L3 to N: 200-240 V N to Ground:
Neutral to ground voltage can vary from millivolts to several volts depending on the distance to the ground/neutral bond at the transformer. Any voltage over 3 V must be investigated by a site preparation or power specialist.

Checking Voltage

The voltage check ensures that all phases (and neutral, for international systems) are wired correctly for the cabinet and that the AC input voltage is within specified limits. NOTE: If you use a UPS, see applicable UPS documentation for information to connect the server and to check the UPS output voltage. UPS User Manual documentation is shipped with the UPS and is available at www.hp.com/go/bizsupport. 1. 2. 3. 4. Verify that site power is OFF. Open the site circuit breakers. Verify that the receptacle ground connector is connected to ground. See Figure 30 for connector details. Set the site power circuit breaker to ON. Figure 30 Wall Receptacle Pinouts

5. 6. 7. 8.

Verify that the voltage between receptacle pins x and y is 200240 volts ac. Set the site power circuit breaker to OFF. Ensure that power is removed from the server. Route and connect the server power connector to the site power receptacle. For locking type receptacles, line up the key on the plug with the groove in the receptacle. Push the plug into the receptacle and rotate to lock the connector in place.
WARNING! Do not set site ac circuit breakers serving the processor cabinets to ON before verifying that the cabinet has been wired into the site ac power supply correctly. Failure to do so can result in injury to personnel or damage to equipment when ac power is applied to the cabinet. 9. Set the site power circuit breaker to ON. WARNING! There is a risk of shock hazard while testing primary power. Use properly insulated probes. Be sure to replace the access cover when you finish testing primary power. 10. Set the server power to ON.

Removing the EMI Panels

Remove the front and back electromagnetic interference (EMI) panels to access ports and to visually check whether components are in place and the LEDs are properly illuminated when power is applied to the system. To remove the front and back EMI panels, follow these steps:
Using a T-20 driver, loosen the captive screw at the top center of the front EMI panel (Figure 32). Figure 32 Removing Front EMI Panel Screw
Use the handle provided to remove the EMI panel and set it aside. When in position, the EMI panels (front and back) are tightly in place. Removing them takes controlled but firm exertion.
Loosen the captive screw at the lower center of the back EMI panel (Figure 33 (page 37)). Figure 33 Removing the Back EMI Panel
Use the handle provided to gently remove the EMI panel and set it aside.

Connecting the Cables

The I/O cables are attached and tied inside the cabinet. When the system is installed, these cables must be untied, routed, and connected to the cabinets where the other end of the cables terminate. Use the following guidelines and Figure 34 to route and connect cables. For more information on cable routing, see Routing the I/O Cables (page 38). Each cabinet is identified with a unique color. The cabinet color label is located at the top of the cabinet. The colored label closest to the cable connector corresponds to the color of the cabinet to which it is attached. The colored label farther away from the cable connector corresponds to the color of the cabinet where the other end of the cable is attached. In Figure 34, the dotted lines show where the label is located and where the cable terminates. Each cable is also labeled with a unique number. This number label is applied on both ends of the cable and near the port where the cable is to be connected. In Figure 34, the cable number labels are indicated by circled numbers, and the cabinet port numbers are indicated with boxed numbers.

Routing the cables is a significant task in the installation process. Efficient cable routing is important not only for the initial installation, but also to aid in future service calls. The most efficient use of space is to route cables so that they are not crossed or tangled. Figure 35 (page 39) illustrates efficient I/O cable routing.
Figure 35 Routing I/O Cables
To route cables through the cable groomer at the bottom rear of the cabinet, follow these steps: 1. 2. Remove the cable access plate at the bottom of the groomer. Beginning at the front of the cabinet, route the cables using the following pattern: a. Route the first cable on the left side of the leftmost card cage first. Route it under the PCI-X card cage toward the back of the cabinet and down through the first slot at the right of the cable groomer. b. Route the second cable on the left side of the leftmost card cage to the right of the first cable, and so on, until routing all of the cables in the card cage is complete. The number and width of cables varies from system to system. Use judgment and the customers present and estimated future needs to determine how many cables to route through each cable groomer slot. c. After routing the leftmost card cage at the front of the cabinet, route the cables in the rightmost card cage at the back of the cabinet. Begin with the right cable in the card cage and work toward the left. After routing the cables in the rightmost card cage at the rear of the cabinet, return to the front of the system and route the cables in the next card cage to the right. Repeat steps a through d until all the cables are routed.

d. e. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Connect the management processor cables last. Reattach the cable access plate at the bottom of the cable groomer. Reattach the cable groomer kick plate at the back of the cabinet. Slip the L bracket under the power cord on the rear of the PDCA. While holding the L bracket in place, insert the PDCA completely into the cabinet and secure the L bracket with one screw.

Setting Up the System 39

Adding an IOX Cabinet
There are two (2) IOX cabinet designs available: AF034A and AF092A. Each are different in design. They support the IOX mounted inside to connect the e-link cables to the Superdome server. Ensure your customer's cabinet is identified correctly. In Figure 36 (page 40), note that the AF034A cabinet on the left has 200mm length extension added to the rear with custom vertical side access panels. These vertical openings are located slightly above center height on either side to aid in e-link cable management routing. On the right, the recently released AF092A rack is designed 200mm longer and requires that the middle and top side panels adjacent to the host Superdome cabinet are removed for e-link cable routing. These views are from the front. Either IOX cabinet can be placed next to either side of the Superdome cabinet(s). Figure 36 3/4 Front View of IOX Cabinets AF034A (left) and AF092A (right)

To turn on housekeeping power to the system, follow these steps: 1. 2. Verify that the ac voltage at the input source is within specifications for each cabinet being installed. Ensure the following: 3. The ac breakers are in the OFF position. The cabinet power switch at the front of the cabinet is in the OFF position. The ac breakers and cabinet switches on the I/O expansion cabinet (if present) are in the OFF position.
If the complex has an IOX cabinet, power on this cabinet first.

IMPORTANT: 4.

The 48 V switch on the front panel must be OFF.
Turn on the ac breakers on the PDCAs at the back of the each cabinet. In a large complex, power on the cabinets in one of the two following orders: 9, 8, 1, 0 8, 9, 0, 1
On the front and back panels, the HKP and the Present LEDs illuminate (Figure 37). On cabinet 0, the HKP and the Present LEDs illuminate, but only the HKP LED illuminates on cabinet 1 (the right cabinet).
Figure 37 Front Panel with HKP and Present LEDs
Examine the BPS LEDs (Figure 38). When on, the breakers on the PDCA distribute ac power to the BPSs. Power is present at the BPSs when: The amber LED next to the AC0 Present label is on (if the breakers on the PDCA are on the left side at the back of the cabinet). The amber LED next to the AC1 Present label is on (if the breakers on the PDCA are on the right side at the back of the cabinet).
