Select the installation mode you feel appropriate: all users (Yes) or current user only (No). 7. Insert following diskette(s) when prompted and follow the on-screen instructions. 8. Click OK when the installation is completed then shutdown and restart workstation.

Section 5. Configuring the Network
Phase 1 Configuri ng Server IP Address
During the installation process the system was configured to use DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). If no DHCP server is found on the network, the system will auto-configure a random IP address to start functioning. It is important that you configure the proper IP address to be able to communicate with the clients: 1. Right click My Network Places > Properties > Local Area Connection on the HP server.
NOTE: If the HP server hosts several network adapters, the window will show one Local Area Connection icon for each Network adapter present in the system. Identify the proper adapter by browsing each one.
2. Click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) > Properties > Use the following IP address. 3. Enter appropriate IP address. 4. Click OK to continue, and then OK again to exit the Local Area Connection Properties window. Click Yes to restart the server and take these settings into account.
Phase 2 Attaching Clients to Network and Test Network Link
1. Create shares: create a folder on the HP server hard drive then share it (right click Sharing). 2. Create users using Windows 2000 Computer Management utility: Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > System tools > Local Users and Groups Users. 3. Connect clients PC to the network that the HP server operates on. 4. Open a command prompt window to verify the TCP/IP configuration and enter the command:

ipconfig / all

5. To verify the server and clients can communicate properly:
From one of the clients, open a command prompt and type:

ping computername

where computername is the server name you entered during Windows 2000 installation. You should get four replies from the new server. If there is a link problem, it must be fixed before going any further. You may test the link further by doing a ping between two clients: at the same command prompt, type:
ping other_client_Ipaddress
You should get four replies from the second client. 6. Copy files back and forth from the clients to the server. Testing the Connection Using Terminal Services 1. Click Start > Programs > Terminal Services Client > Terminal Services Client on a client you installed Terminal Services on. 2. Select the target server from the Available Servers list provided on the screen. 3. Click the Connect button. 4. Complete the User ID, Password login form.

Tip #2. Configuring the Parallel (LPT) Port for ECP Mode
The device manager may not show this port on the list when not configured in ECP mode. HP recommends that you systematically configure the LPT port for ECP mode. Use the following procedure to change the setting: 1. Press the Delete key during power on self-test. 2. Select Advanced > Super IO Configuration > Parallel Port Address to 378. 3. Press the Enter key and select ECP from Parallel Port Mode. 4. Press the Enter key and the F10 key to save and exit.
Tip #3. Windows 2000 Drivers Signatures
Windows 2000 checks for digital signatures on driver files to help maintain system integrity. During the installation or update of a driver, if there is no matching signature file Windows 2000 displays a Digital Signature not Found box. To expedite release of new products, HP may ship drivers without signature files. All Windows 2000 drivers provided by Hewlett-Packard are submitted to Microsoft for certification testing. Upon completion of testing, Microsoft produces signature files. HP then posts the revised driver package at http://www.hp.com. If a signature warning is displayed during installation of a driver, you may override the warning. We recommend that you check the HP Website for the latest driver package. If available, install the new driver. You can elect to have Windows 2000 ignore signatures: Open Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Hardware > Driver Signing. This is helpful if you are setting up multiple systems. Digital signatures are a powerful way to ensure system integrity as you add drivers to the systems - whether provided by HP or others.
Tip #4. Windows 2000 Recovery Options
In the event that the current installation of Windows 2000 fails to boot (this might happen after installing a new driver, component, software, etc), Windows 2000 provides the following recovery options to help you gain access to your Windows 2000 installation to replace damaged files and services for troubleshooting purpose. HP therefore recommends that you install the Recovery Console (refer to option 3 below) to enhance the system configuration. Recovery option #1: Last Known Good Configuration Activated by pressing the F8 key during the system process of Windows 2000 and selecting Last Known Good Configuration from the menu. This boot mode is used in the case that the system fails to boot after installing a new software or driver. The system will use the previous registry setting to initialize and boot the system.

where computername is the server name you entered during the Windows installation. You should get four replies from the new server. If there is a link problem, it must be fixed before going any further. You may test the link further by doing a ping between two clients. At the same command prompt, type:
ping other_client_IPaddress
Where other_client_IPaddress is the IP address of another client PC on this network. You should get four replies from the second client. b. Copy files back and forth from the clients to the server.

Non-hot-plug devices

Non-hot-pluggable devices require that the server be powered down before removal or installation. Non-hot-plug devices in the server include the processor, all boards, memory modules, fans, PCI and IPMI option cards, and non-hot-pluggable hard drives.
Electrostatic discharge information
ESD can damage static-sensitive devices or micro circuitry. Proper packaging and grounding techniques are necessary precautions to prevent damage. To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:
Transport products in static-safe containers such as conductive tubes, bags, or boxes. Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free stations. Cover workstations with approved static-dissipating material. Use a wrist strap connected to the work surface and properly grounded (earthed) tools and equipment. Keep work area free of nonconductive materials, such as ordinary plastic assembly aids and foam packing. Make sure that you are always properly grounded (earthed) when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly. Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry. Always place drives with the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) assembly-side down. Use conductive field service tools.

Symbols on equipment

These symbols may be found on equipment to indicate areas where hazardous conditions may exist.
Pre-installation instructions
Perform the steps below before you open the server or before you remove or replace any component:

1. 2. 3.

Turn off the server and all the peripherals connected to it. Refer to the Powering down the server section in this chapter for detailed instructions on how to completely power down the server. Unplug all cables from power outlets to avoid exposure to high energy levels that may cause burns if parts are short-circuited by metal objects such as tools or jewelry. If necessary, label each cable for reassembly. Disconnect telecommunication cables to avoid exposure to shock hazard from ringing voltages. Open the server according to the instructions described in the System covers section in this chapter. Follow the ESD precautions listed previously in this chapter when handling a server component.

NOTE: The access panel does not need to be removed for removal and replacement of hot-plug drives.
Figure 3-1 Removing the access panel
To reinstall the access panel:
Use both hands to place the access panel flat against the chassis, the back of the access panel extending about 1.3 cm (0.5 inch) behind the back of the server. Make sure the stand-off on the access panel align with the holes on the edges of the chassis. Slide the panel toward the front of the chassis to position it into place. Tighten the captive thumbscrews to secure the panel.
Figure 3-2 Reinstalling the access panel

End of procedure.

Front bezel
To open or remove the front bezel:
If necessary, unlock the front bezel door using the supplied key. Open the bezel door to the right and lift up to remove it.
Figure 3-3 Opening the front bezel
To re-attach and close the front bezel:

Figure 3-4 Closing the front bezel

Cable management

Cabling guidelines
Keep cables away from major heat sources like the heat sink assembly. Do not jam cables on top of expansion cards or memory modules. Printed circuit cards are not designed to withstand excessive pressure. Keep cables clear of sliding or moveable parts to prevent cutting or crimping. When folding a flat ribbon cable, never fold to a sharp crease. Sharp creases may damage the wires. Some flat ribbon cables come pre-folded. Never change the folds on these cables. Do not sharply bend any cable. A sharp bend can break the internal wires. Never bend an SATA data cable tighter than a 30 mm (1.18 in) radius. Never crease an SATA data cable. Do not rely on components like the drive cage, power supply, or computer cover to push cables down into the chassis. Use supplied cable management straps to secure cables.
NOTE: Always follow good cable management practices when working inside the computer. To remove power supply power cables P1, P2, P3, and RPS from system board connectors J23, J38, J13, and J26 respectively use the following steps:

Squeeze on the top of the retaining latch attached to the cable end of the connector. Grasp the cable end of the connector and pull it straight up.
CAUTION: When removing cables, always pull the connector - NEVER pull on the cable. Pulling the cable could cause cable damage and result in power supply failure.

Processor

The HP ProLiant ML150 Generation 5 Server supports single (1P)- and dual-processor (2P) operation. With two processors installed, the server supports boot functions through the processor installed in processor socket 0. However, if processor 0 fails, the system automatically boots from the processor installed in processor socket 1 and provides a processor failure message. The two LGA771 processor sockets support the following processor types:
Intel Xeon Dual Core 5100 and 5200 series processors Intel Xeon Quad Core 5300 and 5400 series processors
CAUTION: To prevent possible server malfunction in 2P systems, ensure that both processors are the same type (series).
Figure 3-19 LGA771 processor sockets
Processor 0 socket Processor 1 socket

Removing a processor

To remove a processor, proceed as follows:
Power down the server. Disconnect the power cord(s). Unlock the server if necessary and remove the access panel (refer to section System covers). On the air baffle, pull the four tabs out slightly and lift the baffle away from the chassis.
Figure 3-20 Removing the air baffle
Place the server on its side with the open side up. Disconnect the processor fan cable from system board connector J27 or J28 (Figure 3-21, 1).
Figure 3-21 Removing the heatsink
Loosen the heatsink mounting screws (2) and lift the heatsink away from the system board (3).
CAUTION: If the heatsink is to be reused, carefully place the heatsink in a position where the base (processor contact area) will not come in contact with foreign matter.
Disengage and lift the socket load lever (Figure 3-22, 1). Lift the retention plate to expose the socket body (2). Grasp the processor by its edges and lift it out of the socket (3).
Figure 3-22 Removing the processor
CAUTION: Place the processor on a static-dissipating work surface or in an anti-static bag.

Replacing the processor

CAUTION: To allow the heatsink to draw away as much heat as possible from the processor, there must be a tight connection between the heatsink base and the top of the processor. To ensure this connection, a thermal grease compound must be used. To replace or install a processor:

Using a clean cloth dipped in rubbing alcohol, clean the surface of the heatsink base (contact area) and the top of new processor. Ensure that both surfaces are clean and that no particles or dust contaminants are evident. Apply the thermal grease compound to the top of the processor (the contact surface).
CAUTION: HP recommends thermal grease of X-23-7783D made by Shin-Etsu.
Use the edge of a razor blade to spread the grease throughout the entire contact surface and lightly scrape off any excess grease. Make sure that you only apply a very thin layer so that the contact surface is still visible.
CAUTION: Never touch the contact area of the processor. Any contaminant could prevent the mounting pads from making contact with the socket.
CAUTION: Applying too much grease creates a gap between the contact surfaces, significantly reducing the ability of the cooler to draw out heat. Installing the cooler with excessive grease can also cause the grease to spread over the processor pins or the system board base, which can cause electrical shorts that damage the system.
Holding the processor by the edges, insert the processor into the socket.
CAUTION: Ensure that the processor is correctly positioned with the orientation notch on the socket and that the pins are aligned correctly with the socket holes (Figure 3-23, 1).
Close the retention plate (3) and lower and engage the load lever (4) to fully seat the processor.
Figure 3-23 Installing a processor
CAUTION: After you install the processor, the heatsink must be reinstalled on top of the processor socket. The thermal grease applied on the contact surfaces of the processor provides the necessary thermal bonding to allow the heatsink to draw away heat from the processor.
Properly align the heatsink mounting screws to the system board mounting holes so that the air flow indicator arrow on the top of the heatsink should point toward the rear of the chassis (Figure 3-24, 1) and tighten with a screwdriver (2).
CAUTION: Do not over-tighten heatsink mounting screws.
Figure 3-24 Installing the heatsink assembly
Connect the processor fan cable to system board connector (3) (Processor 0 fan cable connects to J28, Processor 1 fan cable connects to J27).
CAUTION: Failure to connect the processor fan cable to the system board may result in damage to the processor and could cause the server to shut down without displaying messages.

Removing an expansion card
To remove an expansion card, reverse steps 1 through 10 of Installing an expansion card. CAUTION: If replacing an expansion card, store the old card in the anti-static packaging that contained the new card.
CAUTION: If removing an expansion card, slot covers must be installed in empty slots to maintain proper system cooling.

System battery

The server uses nonvolatile memory that requires a 3-volt lithium coin cell battery to retain system information when power is removed. The battery is located on the system board as item 1 shown in Figure 3-32.
Figure 3-32 System battery location
WARNING: When replacing the system battery Replace the battery with the same type as the battery recommended by HP. Use of another battery type
may present a risk of fire or explosion.
A risk of fire and chemical burn exists if the battery is not handled properly. Do not disassemble, crush,
puncture, or short external contacts, or expose the battery to temperatures higher than 60C (140F).
Do not dispose of a used battery in water or fire. Dispose of used batteries according to manufacturer's

instructions.

CAUTION: Loss of BIOS settings occurs when the battery is removed. The BIOS must be reconfigured after replacing the battery.
NOTE: If the server no longer automatically displays the correct date and time, you may need to replace the system battery. Under normal usage, battery life is five to ten years. To remove and replace the system battery:
Power down the server. Disconnect the power cord(s). Unlock the server if necessary and remove the access panel as described in the section System covers. Release the battery from its holder by squeezing the metal clamp that extends above one edge of the battery. When the battery pops up, lift it out (Figure 3-33, 1). To insert the new battery, slide one edge of the replacement battery under the holders lip with the positive side up. Push the other edge down until the clamp snaps over the other edge of the battery (2).
