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:
MandatoryParts 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. OptionalParts 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).
Parts only warranty service
Your HP Limited Warranty may include a parts only warranty service. Under the terms of parts only warranty service, HP will provide replacement parts free of charge. For parts only warranty service, CSR part replacement is mandatory. If you request HP to replace these parts, you will be charged for the travel and labor costs of this service.
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:

Safety considerations

Before performing service procedures, review all the safety information.

Integrated Lights-Out 2 technology
The iLO 2 subsystem is a standard component of selected ProLiant servers that provides server health and remote server manageability. The iLO 2 subsystem includes an intelligent microprocessor, secure memory, and a dedicated network interface. This design makes iLO 2 independent of the host server and its operating system. The iLO 2 subsystem provides remote access to any authorized network client, sends alerts, and provides other server management functions. Using iLO 2, you can:
Remotely power up, power down, or reboot the host server. Send alerts from iLO 2 regardless of the state of the host server. Access advanced troubleshooting features through the iLO 2 interface. Diagnose iLO 2 using HP SIM through a web browser and SNMP alerting.
For more information about iLO 2 features, refer to the iLO 2 documentation on the Documentation CD or on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/servers/lights-out).
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 Systems Insight Manager
HP SIM is a web-based application that allows system administrators to accomplish normal administrative tasks from any remote location, using a web browser. HP SIM provides device management capabilities that consolidate and integrate management data from HP and third-party devices. IMPORTANT: You must install and use HP SIM to benefit from the Pre-Failure Warranty for processors, SAS and SCSI hard drives, and memory modules. For additional information, refer to the Management CD in the HP ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack or the HP SIM website (http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim).

HP Insight Diagnostics

HP Insight Diagnostics is a proactive server management tool, available in both offline and online versions, that provides diagnostics and troubleshooting capabilities to assist IT administrators who verify server installations, troubleshoot problems, and perform repair validation. HP Insight Diagnostics Offline Edition performs various in-depth system and component testing while the OS is not running. To run this utility, launch the SmartStart CD.

HP Insight Diagnostics Online Edition is a web-based application that captures system configuration and other related data needed for effective server management. Available in Microsoft Windows and Linux versions, the utility helps to ensure proper system operation. For more information or to download the utility, refer to the HP website (http://www.hp.com/servers/diags).

USB support

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 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 (http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/platforms/usb-support.html).
Internal USB functionality
An internal USB connector is available for use with USB drive keys only. The internal connector shares the same bus with the front external USB connector, and connecting a device to both the front internal and front external USB connectors is not supported. This solution provides for use of a permanent boot drive from a USB drive key installed in the front internal connector, avoiding issues of clearance on the front of the rack and physical access to secure data. For additional security, you can individually disable the front, rear, and internal USB connectors through RBSU. Disabling the rear USB connectors in RBSU disables both rear USB ports.

Survey Utility

Survey Utility, a feature within HP Insight Diagnostics (on page 51), gathers critical hardware and software information on ProLiant servers. This utility supports operating systems that may not be supported by the server. For operating systems supported by the server, refer to the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/supportos). If a significant change occurs between data-gathering intervals, the Survey Utility marks the previous information and overwrites the Survey text files to reflect the latest changes in the configuration. Survey Utility is installed with every SmartStart-assisted installation or can be installed through the HP PSP.
