Installing the System
Safety Information

The firmware incorporates the Boot Console Handler (BCH), which provides an interface between the
operating system and the platform firmware. BCH uses data tables that contain platform-related
information, and boot and run-time service calls available to the operating system and its loader to provide a
standard environment for booting.
The firmware supports the HP-UX 11i version 1 (and higher HP-UX versions that support PA-RISC systems)
operating system through the HP 9000 processor family standards and extensions, and has no operating
system-specific functionality included. The operating system is presented with the same interface to system
firmware, and all features are available to the operating system.
Event IDs for Errors and Events
The server firmware generates event IDs similar to chassis codes for errors, events, and forward progress to
the Integrity Integrated Light-Out Management Processor (iLO MP) through common shared memory. The
Integrity iLO MP interprets and stores event IDs. Reviewing these events helps you diagnose and
troubleshoot problems with the server.

Safety Information
Use care to prevent injury and equipment damage when performing removal and replacement procedures.
Voltages might be present within the server. Many assemblies are sensitive to damage by electrostatic
discharge.
Follow the safety conventions listed below to ensure safe handling of components, to prevent injury, and to
prevent damage to the server:
•
When removing or installing any server component, follow the instructions provided in this guide.
•
If installing a hot-swappable or hot-pluggable component when power is applied (fans are running),
reinstall the server cover immediately to prevent overheating.
•
If installing a hot-pluggable component, complete the required software intervention before removing the
component.
•
If installing an assembly that is neither hot-swappable nor hot-pluggable, disconnect the power cable
from the external server power receptacle before proceeding.
