Hard drives must be SFF types. 
• Drives should be the same capacity to provide the  greatest storage space efficiency when drives are 
grouped together into the same drive array. 
 
Removing hard drive blanks 
   CAUTION:   To prevent improper cooling and thermal damag e, do not operate the server unless all bays 
are populated with either a component or a blank.  
  
Removing hard drive bezel blanks 
   CAUTION:   To prevent improper cooling and thermal dama ge, do not operate the server unless all bays 
are populated with either a component or a blank.  
To remove the component:

Multibay device options 
Several multibay devices can be installed in the server . For a list of supported multibay devices, refer to 
the QuickSpecs on the HP website ( http://www.hp.com/support
). 
To install the component: 
1.  Power down the server (on page  18). 
  NOTE:   Access to the ejector button is intentionally rest ricted. To eject the optical device, push the ejector 
button with a small flat object such as a key or pen. 
2.  Push the multibay drive ejector butto n to eject the device or blank.

10.  Be sure that the front panel ex ternal health LED is green (Front panel LEDs and buttons  on page 8).  
Expansion board options 
Installing an expansion board 
The server ships with PCI Express slots. PCI or PCI- X expansion boards are supported with optional riser 
boards.  
						

							
 
Hardware options  installation 47 
  NOTE:  If the expansion slot is populated with the standar d PCI-X storage controller card, it should not be 
converted to PCI Express. 
To install the component: 
1. Power down the server (on page  18). 
2. Extend the server from the rack (on page  19). 
3. Remove the access panel (on page  20). 
4. Remove the PCI riser board assembly. 
5.  Remove the expansion slot cover from the PCI riser board assembly. 
  IMPORTANT:   If the expansion board ships with an extender  bracket, remove it from the expansion board 
before inserting the board into the expans ion slot of the PCI riser board assembly. 
6. Install the expansion board into the slot until it seats firmly. 
 
  IMPORTANT:   Be sure that all FBDIMM slot latches ar e closed to provide adequate clearance before 
installing the PCI riser board assembly  with a half-length expansion board. 
7. Install the PCI riser board assembly (on page  21). 
  IMPORTANT:   The server does not power up if the PCI  riser board assembly is not seated properly. 
  NOTE:   The same procedures apply for installing an  expansion board in PCI expansion slot 1. 
8. Connect any internal or external  cabling to the expansion boards. 
9. Install the access panel (on page  20). 
10.  Slide the server into the rack. 
11. Power up the server (on page  18).  
Installing a PCI-X riser board 
1. Power down the server (on page  18). 
2. Extend the server from the rack (on page  19). 
3. Remove the access panel (on page  20). 
4. Remove the PCI riser board assembly.  
						

							
 
Hardware options  installation 48 
5.
 
Remove the expansion board from the slot, if installed. 
 
6. Remove the full-length PCI Express rise r board from the riser board assembly.

10.  Install the access panel (on page  20). 
11.  Slide the server into the rack. 
12. Power up the server (on page  18).

Using a PCI array controller and the HP Smart Array  P400i Controller to support six hard drives (on 
page  62) 
The Battery-Backed Write Cache Enabler, also called th e battery pack, works with the cache module to 
provide transportable data protection, increase overal l controller performance, and maintain any cached 
data for up to 72 hours. The NiMH batteries in th e battery pack are continuously recharged through a 
trickle-charging process whenever the system power is  on. Under normal operating conditions, the battery 
pack lasts for 3 years before  replacement is necessary. 
  CAUTION:   To prevent a server malfunction or damage to  the equipment, do not add or remove the battery 
pack while an array capacity expansion, RAID level migr ation, or stripe size migration is in progress. 
  CAUTION:   After the server is powered down, wait 15  seconds and then check the amber LED before 
unplugging the cable from the cache module. If the am ber LED blinks after 15 seconds, do not remove the 
cable from the cache module. The cache module is ba cking up data, and data is lost if the cable is 
detached. 
   IMPORTANT:   The battery pack might have a low charge wh en installed. In this case, a POST error 
message is displayed when the serv er is powered up, indicating that the battery pack is temporarily 
disabled. No action is necessary on your part. The in ternal circuitry automatically recharges the batteries 
and enables the battery pack. This process might take up  to four hours. During this time, the cache module 
functions properly, but without the perfor mance advantage of the battery pack.  
  NOTE:   The data protection and the time limit also apply  if a power outage occurs. When power is restored 
to the system, an initialization process wr ites the preserved data to the hard drives. 
 
Removing an integrated HP Smart Array E 200i Controller or an HP Smart Array 
P400i Controller 
1.  Power down the server (on page  18). 
2. Extend the server from the rack (on page  19). 
3. Remove the access panel (on page  20). 
4. Remove the air baffle. ( Remove the power supply air baffle  on page 21, Remove the processor 
air baffle  on page  22) 
5. Disconnect all cables from th e integrated array controller.
