Proper cabling of the fan helps to avoid potential system failure and operating system error messages. Connect the system fan to the system board as illustrated in Figure 4-12. Figure 4-12.
Chapter 5 Server Configuration and Utilities This chapter provides information about the utilities and tools provided with the ProLiant ML350.
5-2 Compaq ProLiant ML350 Setup and Installation Guide ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) RBSU performs a wide range of configuration activities including the following: ■ Configuring system devices and installed options ■ Viewing system information ■ Selecting the operating system ■ Selecting the primary boot controller ■ Managing storage options In addition, RBSU includes other features, which are outlined in “Using the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU)” later in this chapter.
Server Configuration and Utilities Using the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) NOTE: Most of the features in RBSU are not required in the setup of your server. The options in this utility are designed to assist with specific server configuration issues. RBSU is separated into a series of menu selections designed to configure specific areas of the system.
5-4 Compaq ProLiant ML350 Setup and Installation Guide System Options The System Options menu is used for overall system configuration settings. The following is a list of selections found in this menu with an explanation of each option: OS Selection allows the selection of the operating system. This option automatically selects appropriate advanced settings for the operating system selected and should be set before the operating system installation.
Server Configuration and Utilities System Passwords The System Passwords menu is used to set up passwords to limit access to the system and its setup options. The following is a list of selections found in this menu with an explanation of each option: Setup Password allows a setup password to be set. This password is used to keep unauthorized users from modifying the setup options. Power-On Password allows a power-on password to be set.
5-6 Compaq ProLiant ML350 Setup and Installation Guide Secondary IDE Controller allows the user to enable or disable the secondary IDE controller. Processor Serial Number allows the user to enable or disable the ability of applications to read the processor serial number. NMI Debug Button allows the user to enable or disable the NMI Debug Button. (This button is located on the Server Feature Board and is disabled as the default setting.
Server Configuration and Utilities ROMPaq Utility Using Flash ROM in Compaq servers allows the firmware (BIOS) to be upgraded with system or option ROMPaq utilities. To upgrade the BIOS, insert a ROMPaq diskette into drive A and power up the system. The ROMPaq Utility then checks the system and provides a choice (if more than one exists) of ROM revisions to which the system can be upgraded. This procedure is the same for both system and option ROMPaq utilities.
5-8 Compaq ProLiant ML350 Setup and Installation Guide SmartStart Diskette Builder The SmartStart and Support Software CD contains a utility to generate support diskettes in the event they are needed or the software cannot be used directly from the SmartStart and Support Software CD. Support diskettes are “punched-out” from data stored on the SmartStart and Support Software CD.
Server Configuration and Utilities Compaq Survey Utility The Compaq Survey Utility is an online information-gathering agent that runs on servers, gathering critical hardware and software information from various sources. The Compaq Survey Utility outputs the information it gathers into SURVEY.TXT. This file is located in [Windows NT Drive]:\COMPAQ\SURVEY for Windows NT, and SYS:SYSTEM for NetWare.
5-10 Compaq ProLiant ML350 Setup and Installation Guide Running Survey Once the Compaq Survey Utility is installed, it gathers information by default every Wednesday at noon and at every power-up. You can change the Compaq Survey Utility data-gathering interval using command line parameters. You can also force a one-time, immediate collection.
Appendix A Regulatory Compliance Notices Regulatory Compliance Identification Numbers For the purpose of regulatory compliance certifications and identification, your server is assigned a Compaq series number. The Compaq series number for the ProLiant ML350 is Series ES1007. The series number can be found on the product label, along with the required approval markings and information. When requesting certification information for this product, always refer to this series number.
A-2 Compaq ProLiant ML350 Setup and Installation Guide The rating label on the device shows which class (A or B) the equipment falls into. Class B devices have an FCC logo or FCC ID on the label. Class A devices do not have an FCC logo or FCC ID on the label. Once the class of the device is determined, refer to the following corresponding statement. Class A Equipment This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Regulatory Compliance Notices Declaration of Conformity for Products Marked with the FCC Logo - United States Only This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules Operation and is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. For questions regarding your product, contact: Compaq Computer Corporation P. O.
A-4 Compaq ProLiant ML350 Setup and Installation Guide Canadian Notice (Avis Canadien) Class A Equipment This Class A digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations.

Regulatory Compliance Notices Japanese Notice Taiwanese Notice Battery Replacement Notice Your computer is provided with a lithium manganese dioxide battery. There is a danger of explosion and risk of personal injury if the battery is incorrectly replaced or mistreated. For more information about battery replacement or proper disposal, contact your Compaq authorized reseller or authorized service provider.
A-6 Compaq ProLiant ML350 Setup and Installation Guide WARNING: Your computer contains an internal lithium manganese dioxide battery. There is risk of fire and burns if the battery pack is not handled properly. To reduce the risk of personal injury: ■ Do not attempt to recharge the battery. ■ Do not expose to temperatures higher than 60°C. ■ Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts, or dispose of in fire or water. ■ Replace only with the Compaq spare designated for this product.
Regulatory Compliance Notices The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration implemented regulations for laser products on August 2, 1976. These regulations apply to laser products manufactured from August 1, 1976. Compliance is mandatory for products marketed in the United States. This marking on the internal CD-ROM drive indicates that the product is classified as a CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT.
Appendix B Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when setting up the system or handling parts. An electrostatic discharge (ESD) from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device.
B-2 Compaq ProLiant ML350 Setup and Installation Guide Grounding Methods There are several methods for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when handling or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts: ■ Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded (earthed) workstation or computer chassis. Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm ± 10 percent resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper grounding, wear the strap snug against the skin.
Appendix C Switches and Jumpers When you add or remove a component or change a security feature, you must reconfigure the server to recognize these changes. If the system configuration is incorrect, your server may not properly work and you may receive error messages on the screen. Setting the system board switches is part of the reconfiguration process, along with running RBSU.
