Serial Number allows you to change the chassis serial number.

Option ROM Configuration for Arrays
Before installing an operating system, you can use the ORCA utility to create the first logical drive, assign RAID levels, and establish online spare configurations. The utility provides support for the following functions: Configuring one or more logical drives using physical drives on one or more SCSI buses Viewing the current logical drive configuration Deleting a logical drive configuration
If you do not use the utility, ORCA will default to the standard configuration. For more information about array controller configuration, refer to the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide on the Documentation CD.

Management Agents

The server is equipped with the latest Management Agents, allowing easy manageability of the server through Insight Manager 7 software, and third-party SNMP management platforms. Management agents monitor key subsystems that are instrumental in making health, configuration, and performance data available to the agent software. The agents act upon that data by initiating alarms in the event of faults. The agents also provide updated management information, such as network interface or subsystem performance statistics, to the management systems. For additional information, refer to the Management CD in the ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack or refer to the HP website (www.hp.com/servers/manage).

Insight Manager 7

Insight Manager 7 is a Web-based application that allows system administrators to accomplish normal administrative tasks from any remote location, using a Web browser. Insight Manager 7 provides device management capabilities that consolidate and integrate management data from HP and third-party devices.
IMPORTANT: You must install and use Insight Manager 7 to benefit from the Pre-Failure Warranty for processors, hard drives, and memory modules.
For additional information, refer to the Management CD in the ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack.
Automatic Server Recovery-2
ASR-2 is a feature that causes the system to restart when a catastrophic operating system error occurs, such as a blue screen, ABEND (abnormal end), or panic. A system fail-safe timer, the ASR-2 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-2 increases server availability by restarting the server within a specified time after a system hang or shutdown. At the same time, the Insight Manager 7 console notifies you by sending a message to a designated pager number that ASR-2 has restarted the system. You can disable ASR-2 from the Insight Manager 7 console or through RBSU.

Survey Utility

Survey Utility gathers critical hardware and software information on servers running Microsoft Windows NT, Novell NetWare, SCO OpenServer, or SCO UnixWare operating systems.
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.
To install the Survey Utility, use the Management CD in the HP ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack or refer to the HP website (www.hp.com/servers/manage).
Integrated Management Log
The IML records hundreds of events and stores them in an easy-to-view form. The IML timestamps each event with 1-minute granularity. You can view recorded events in the IML in several ways, including the following: From within Insight Manager 7 From within Survey Utility From within operating system-specific IML viewers For NetWare: IML Viewer For Windows: Event Viewer or IML Viewer For Linux: IML Viewer Application From within Enterprise Diagnostics LX32 Utility
For more information, refer to the Servers Troubleshooting Guide on the Documentation CD, or the Management CD in the HP ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack.

Power-On Self-Test

POST is a series of diagnostic tests that checks firmware and assemblies to ensure that the server is functioning properly. This utility runs automatically every time the server is powered up. Refer to Appendix D, Server Specific Troubleshooting, for the normal power-up sequence and diagnosis of problems encountered during POST.
RAID Configuration and Management

Introduction to RAID

Overview of RAID
Redundant array of independent drives (RAID) is an array of multiple independent hard drives that can be accessed simultaneously, improving I/O (input/output) performance. The host computer recognizes the RAID array as a single storage unit or as multiple logical units. When a drive fails, RAID 1 and RAID 1+0 arrays can prevent data loss by reconstructing missing data from the remaining data drives.

RAID Terminology

IMPORTANT: Only RAID levels 0, 1, and 1+0 are supported by the Integrated ATA RAID Configuration Utility.
RAID 0 (Stripe) RAID 0 is a RAID level that involves breaking up data into smaller blocks and then writing a block to each drive in the array (striping). RAID 0 does not provide any data redundancy, but does offer the best performance of any RAID level.

Array Information

IMPORTANT: You cannot add drives or remove drives from an array that already has been configured, without destroying the data present on the already configured array.
The Array Information window of the setup screen displays all the drive arrays configured. Use this window to create, delete, or edit the existing configurations. Press the up arrow and down arrow keys to navigate the properties, and then press the Enter key to edit your selection. You can create additional arrays in this window. For more information, refer to the HP ProLiant ML330 Generation 3 Server Maintenance and Service Guide.
NOTE: To add additional arrays, follow the onscreen steps after an array configuration is selected. Refer to Help Information for more information about arrays.
Physical Drive Information The Physical Drive Information window displays all the physical drives connected to the ATA/100 controller channels and their properties. Press the up arrow and down arrow keys to navigate this window. This window is not editable. Help Information
IMPORTANT: When running the Configuration Utility, you may see RAID 0+1 displayed in place of RAID 1+0. RAID 0+1 and RAID 1+0 are used synonymously in this utility.
The Help window displays hints on available options and provides a list of keys that you can use to perform tasks, such as the following: Switch Windows (Tab)switches the control back and forth between the Array Information and the Physical Drive Information windows.
Auto Configure RAID 0 (F1)automatically creates and configures a striped array based on the available physical drives installed. Auto Configure RAID 1 (F2)automatically creates and configures a mirrored array based on the available physical drives installed. You must have a minimum of two free hard drives in the array. Auto Configure RAID 1+0 (F3)automatically creates and configures a RAID 1+0 array based on the available physical drives installed. You must have four hard drives in the array.
IMPORTANT: All previous settings are lost when the Auto Configure option is run for RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 1+0 arrays.
Create Array (F4)creates a drive array. When this option is selected, a default array template is created. You must edit the array properties to complete the array creation. Use the arrow keys to select a property field, and then press the Enter key to edit that property. The array properties are as follows: Array Typeselects the intended RAID mode including RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 1+0, and Spare. The default for the Array Type option is RAID 0. Drive(s)selects the drives for the array. This option refers to the drive number listed in the Physical Drives Information box, not the number of drives in the array. Use the arrow keys, and then press the spacebar to select or deselect the drive or drives. Press the Enter key when done. There is no default for this setting. Stripe Sizechanges the stripe size. This field applies only to RAID 0 and RAID 1+0 arrays. The default stripe size is 64 KB.

IMPORTANT: RAID configurations do not support a stripe size less than 32 KB. You cannot change the stripe size of an array that has been configured already.
Drive Sizedisplays the size of the array and cannot be edited. If the array type is RAID 0, then the drive size is the total of all the drives selected. If the array type is RAID 1, drive size is shown by the smaller of the two drives making up the array.
Build Arrayis used to rebuild the array using a spare drive. When Build Array starts, it prompts the user to select the target drive, and then the rebuild starts. This option applies only to RAID 1 and RAID 1+0 arrays. Initialize Arrayis used to clear the configuration information from drives attached to the Integrated ATA RAID controller. Delete Array (F5)allows you to delete a currently configured array. Restore Old Configuration (F6)restores the configuration that was there before you entered the utility. Edit Options (F7)edits the physical drive option status boxes located in the top right corner of the Physical Drive Information window. The options are as follows: WC-OFFenables or disables write cache.
CAUTION: Enabling write cache may cause data loss or corruption during an unexpected loss of power.
DMA-ONenables or disables DMA (direct memory access) transfers, in which data is transferred directly from the memory to the hard drive without microprocessor intervention. Pressing the F7 key allows you to enable or disable these options. Press the F7 key, move the cursor to the desired box, and then press the spacebar to check off the option. When enabled, the option status boxes change from red to green. Save and Exit (F10)saves the configuration and exits the utility. If you do not want to save the configuration or any changes that you have made, press the Esc key. Respond appropriately to the subsequent message boxes requiring confirmation.
Integrated ATA RAID Management Utility
The Integrated ATA RAID Management Utility is a standard feature of ATA models of the server. This section details the features of the utility, including how to access and change utility options.
Management Utility Features
The features of the Integrated ATA Management Utility include: Visual representation of array status using the Applications tray icon (Microsoft OS only) Writing of array status to log file (Linux, Netware, and Microsoft OS) Writing of array status to the console (Netware OS) Automatic rebuild of pre-configured online spares following a RAID 1 failure (Linux, Netware, and Microsoft OS)

Drive Connection Tips

If you have two drives, connect one on each ATA/100 RAID channel. Utilizing both channels enhances array performance. When attaching new drives to the array, be sure that any pre-existing configuration information has been cleared from the new drive. This may be accomplished by doing one of the following: Running the SmartStart Erase Utility on the drive (running SmartStart with only the new drive connected) Noting the position of the drive and editing any arrays (containing the newly added drive) presented in the Integrated ATA RAID Configuration Utility Use the same type of drives or drives with similar capability (in terms of speed and capacity). Do not use dissimilar drives on the same channel. Always use 80-conductor Ultra ATA cables. Be sure that proper jumper settings are used. For more information, refer to Chapter 1, Component Identification. Do not connect any ATAPI devices (such as CD, ZIP, or LS120) to the ATA controller.
Configuration and Setup Tips
To change the array configuration, back up the data first. When an array configuration changes, previous data in that array is lost.
NOTE: If you do not select a RAID level for a newly added drive, then the controller configures the drive as a stand-alone RAID 0.
To respond to an unexpected message, such as Drives Missing or Configuration Mismatch, power down the server and check all connections, ATA cables, and power cables. To respond to a Configuration Mismatch message after adding new drives, press the F8 key to go to the setup and create the array configuration as needed. The message displays because the new drives had been used before and the configuration on the drives was not cleared.
