Installing Hardware Options
This chapter provides step-by-step instructions for installing optional hardware
equipment in your Compaq ProLiant DL580 server. For additional
instructions, refer to the installation instructions provided in each Compaq
server option kit. Refer to the following documents for illustrated guides for
installing Compaq option upgrades:
■
Hardware installation and configuration poster included in the server
shipping box
■
Color labels attached to user access areas on the server
Compaq servers include both hot-plug and non-hot-plug areas and
components. With non-hot-plug installations you must shut down all power to
the server when installing options, upgrades, or replacements. With hot-plug
installations, you can leave your server powered on when installing options,
upgrades, or replacements.
IMPORTANT:
Refer to the information provided with hardware option kits before
powering down the server. Before installing certain options, including array controllers,
you must back up all system data before powering down the server.
It is recommended that you install all non-hot-plug options before completing
the server setup and installation process. Installing non-hot-plug hardware
after your server is functional requires that you back up data, shut down the
server completely, and remove all power cords. Detailed instructions for
installing optional components, including storage media, expansion boards,
fans, and processors, are also provided in each server option kit.
