Compaq ProLiant ML350 Server Overview

Description

The 2nd generation ProLiant ML350 server is a dual processor capable,

expandable server that comes in both non-hot-plug and hot-plug hard drive

models. New features of this server include the latest 1-GHzprocessor, an

integrated dual channel Wide Ultra3 SCSI controller, additional 64-bit PCI

slots and support for USB ports. The server also has a new bezel, variable fan

control, a built-in connector for Remote Insight Board Lights Out Edition ,

ROM-based BIOS setup and Remote ROM Flash support.

Note

The system uses the FC-PGA (flip-chip) processor which has a different socket

than the previous generation ProLiant ML350 and therefore cannot be used to

upgrade previous generation systems.

New Component Installation or Replacement Procedures

Processor Option and Spares Kits

The option kit contains a processor, heatsink and Processor Power Module

(PPM). If you are replacing an existing processor the spares kit will contain

the processor and heatsink but not a PPM. If needed, the PPM would have to

be ordered separately. In the following procedures, ignore the removal steps if

you are adding a second processor and are not replacing an existing processor.

Note

The processor option kit is for the FC-PGA (flip-chip) processor which has a

different socket than the previous generation ProLiant ML350 and therefore

cannot be used to upgrade previous generation systems.

Locating the Processor or Processor Power Module

Figure 3: Processor Locations

In the Figure 3 you can see the locations of

the processor modules and processor

power modules (PPMs). They are

numbered as follows:

1. Processor socket 1

2. Processor power module socket 1

3. Processor socket 2

4. Processor power module socket 2

Removing and Replacing Processor Module

!Important

Do not remove the processor heatsink unless you are replacing the processor.

When the heatsink is removed, its thermal seal to the processor is broken, and

the thermal effectiveness of the heatsink is compromised. You must then

replace it with a new heatsink.

Figure 4: Heatsink Removal

To remove the heatsink:

1. Press one side of the heatsink retainer

clip (1)to disengage the heatsink from

the processor socket.

2. Unhook the opposite side of the

heatsink retainer clip from the

processor socket (2).

3. Lift up the heatsink from the

processor socket (3).

Compaq ProLiant ML350

Rev. 0.41 6of 13

Figure 5: Processor Removal

To remove the old processor module:

1. Lift up the lever on the processor

socket (1).

2. Remove the processor from the

socket (2).

Figure 6: Processor Replacement

To install the new processor module:

1. Press the new processor into the

socket aligning the marked corner

with the upper left corner of the

socket.

2. Lower the lever to lock the processor

into place.

Figure 7: Heatsink Preparation

To prepare the new heatsink for

installation:

1. Peel the protective covering from the

thermal pad on the heatsink.

2. Align the heatsink so that it is seated

in the groove on the processor

socket.

Compaq ProLiant ML350

Rev. 0.41 7of 13

Figure 8: Heatsink Replacement

To install the new heatsink:

1. Place the heatsink (1) onto the

processor.

2. Secure the heatsink retainer clip to

the hook on the processor socket (3).

3. Secure the opposite side of the

heatsink retainer clip (2) to the hook

on the opposite side of the socket.

Removing and Replacing the Processor Power Module

Figure 9: PPM Removal

To remove the old PPM:

1. Open the latches (1) on the PPM

socket.

2. Remove the module from the socket

on the system board.

Figure 10: PPM Replacement

To install the new PPM:

1. Insert the new module (1) in the

socket making sure the notch on the

module aligns with a tab on the

mounting bracket.

2. Close the latches (2) on the PPM

socket.

system board (see figure 12).

2. Loosen the thumbscrew (1)

securing system fan 2 to the

chassis.

3. Gently pull the system fan 2

module out and away from the

chassis (2).

4. Reverse steps 1 through 3 to

replace system fan 2 module.

Service Considerations

SmartStart 4.9

SmartStart 4.9 Assisted OpenServer Install

Starting from SS4.9, the SmartStart assisted OpenServer install has been

changed. In order to install OpenServer, the user has to input boot strings to

Compaq ProLiant ML350

Rev. 0.41 9of 13

specify which driver should be loaded for the primary controller. Without the

right boot string, OpenServer may not be able to detect the root disk.

Following are the boot strings for different controllers:

nAdaptec controllers:(Poseidon and Arsalan)

defbootstr link=ad160 hd=Sdsk Srom=wd(0,0,0).

nMaxwell controller: (Smart Array 5300)

defbootstr link=ciss hd=Sdsk Srom=wd(0,0,0).

nIDA controllers:(Smart 2/E, Smart 2/P, Smart 2/DH, Smart 2/SL, Smart

Array 221, 3200, 3250ES)

defbootstr disable =ida link=ida hd=ida0

Srom=wd(0,0,0).

nROC controllers (Embedded ROC, Smart Array 4200, 4250ES and

Smart Array 431)

defbootstr link=clad hd=Sdsk Srom=wd(0,0,0).

nCompaq SymBios SCSI Controllers(825, 875, 876, 895, 896 and non

intelligent ROC):

defbootstr link=cha hd=Sdsk Srom=wd(0,0,0).

SmartStart 4.9 Assisted Install Procedure for SCO OpenServer 5

1. Boot machine and insert the SmartStart 4.9 or later.

2. Follow the install procedure.

3. Create BTLD diskette during SS Interview process.

4. Remove floppy disk and CDROM when the system requests this action.

5. Insert SCO 5.05 CD when system requests this action.

6. The system reboots.

7. At the SCO5 boot prompt, enter the necessary boot string based on the

boot controller.

8. Insert the BTLD diskette when prompted and continue with the

installation.

9. During hard disk setup, select Interactive fdiskoption to preserve the

system partition created by SmartStart.

ROM-Based BIOS Setup Utility (RBSU)

RBSU is a ROM-based configuration utility that displays and modifies the

system configuration settings of a server. RBSU replaces BIOS Setup and

provides a simplified setup process that is machine-specific and tailored for

each type of server. RBSU Version 1.0 on the ProLiant ML350 is intended to

facilitate transition to the “look and feel” of RBSU Version 2.0 which will be

available on future products.

Compaq ProLiant ML350

Rev. 0.41 10 of 13

Among the configuration activities that can be performed are:

nViewing system information

nSelecting the operating system

nConfiguring system devices and installed options

nSelecting the primary boot controller

nManaging storage options.

Starting and Exiting RBSU

During initial installation when the server is not yet configured, RBSU starts

automatically. After the server has been configured, you can launch RBSU by

pressing F9 during the power up. Once you are finished with configuration

activities you can exit RBSU by pressing Escape at the main menu and

confirming your intention by pressing F10. The current boot controller is

displayed for reference purposes.

Initial Boot

On initial boot (for a system that has not yet been configured) you will be

required to enter the following information:

nLanguage and Operating System

nPrimary boot controller

nDate and time

Note

To bypass this step you must insert a Compaq Diagnostics ROMpaq diskette

into the floppy drive before booting the server. This would enable you to

upgrade the ROM or run the SmartStart scripting tools.
