6 Removing and Replacing Server Components
This chapter describes how to shut down nPartitions, power off the server, and remove and
replace hardware components in the server.
HP 9000 rp7420 Server Customer Replaceable Units
These procedures are intended for use by trained and experienced service personnel only.
Hot-Pluggable CRUs
A Customer Replaceable Unit is hot-pluggable if it can be removed from the chassis while the
system remains operational, but requires software intervention before removing the CRU.
The following hardware components are hot-pluggable CRUs:
•
Disk Drive
•
PCI/PCI-X Card
Hot-Swappable CRUs
A CRU is hot-swappable if it can be removed from the chassis while the server remains operational
and requires no software intervention before removing the CRU.
The following list identifies the hot-swappable CRUs in the HP 9000 rp7420 server.
•
Front Smart Fan Assembly
•
Rear Smart Fan Assembly
•
PCI-X Fan Assembly
•
BPS
Other CRUs
To remove and replace the CRUs that are neither hot-pluggable, nor hot-swappable, you must
shut HP-UX off in the nPartition where the CRU resides, and you must power the CRU off before
removing it. For detailed instructions, see
“Powering Off Hardware Components and Powering
On the Server” (page 84)
.
These CRUs include:
•
CD/DVD/DAT Drive
•
PCA Front Panel Board
•
PCI Power Module
Safety and Environmental Considerations
WARNING!
Before proceeding with any installation, maintenance, or service on a system that
requires physical contact with electrical or electronic components, be sure that either power is
removed or safety precautions are followed to protect against electric shock and equipment
damage. Observe all WARNING and CAUTION labels on equipment. All installation and service
work must be done by qualified personnel.
Communications Interference
HP system compliance tests are conducted with HP supported peripheral devices and shielded
cables, such as those received with the system. The system meets interference requirements of
all countries in which it is sold. These requirements provide reasonable protection against
interference with radio and television communications.
