TC020702TB TECHNOLOGY BRIEF (cont.) ... An accessible side plane eliminates the need to replace the system board when SCSI, video, memory, or port repairs are needed. Thumbscrews, easy access panels, and board release levers allow quick access to modular, removable, hot-plug components. The ProLiant DL590/64 server power subsystem was designed for quick and easy maintenance. The primary power supplies are easily loaded from the front, while the hot-pluggable system power modules are easily replaceable from the top of the server. Hot-pluggable, redundant fan design offers easy cable-free maintenance. In addition, with the innovative fan design, only two part numbers are required to maintain replacement parts for the 10 fans in the server. The ProLiant DL590/64 server also features an enhanced PCI Hot Plug implementation. A more ergonomic design of the PCI Hot Plug push button and slot release (Figure 15) makes insertion and removal of PCI adapter cards easier than ever. Figure 15: The ProLiant DL590/64 server features an improved PCI Hot Plug implementation. The ProLiant DL590/64 server also includes light-pipe diagnostic LED indicators that improve serviceability and further reduce downtime associated with upgrades and field maintenance. These indicators allow quick identification to unseated or malfunctioning components. Manageability A range of hardware- and software-based server management tools are offered for reducing downtime and increasing productivity. The ProLiant DL590/64 server includes the following standard tools available to all ProLiant servers: • Automatic Server Recovery (ASR). ASR automatically resets the server after a critical hardware or software error. ASR can reset the server to the OS or to the System Partition Utilities. The ASR reset function is based on a hardware timer working in conjunction with the server health drivers. If the server health drivers can no longer reset the hardware timer after some user-specified amount of time, the server is automatically reset. ASR can also be configured to page the administrator when an ASR event occurs. 16

An accessible side plane eliminates the need to replace the system board when SCSI, video,
memory, or port repairs are needed.
Thumbscrews, easy access panels, and board release levers
allow quick access to modular, removable, hot-plug components.
The ProLiant DL590/64 server power subsystem was designed for quick and easy maintenance.
The primary power supplies are easily loaded from the front, while the hot-pluggable system
power modules are easily replaceable from the top of the server.
Hot-pluggable, redundant fan design offers easy cable-free maintenance.
In addition, with the
innovative fan design, only two part numbers are required to maintain replacement parts for the 10
fans in the server.
The ProLiant DL590/64 server also features an enhanced PCI Hot Plug implementation.
A more
ergonomic design of the PCI Hot Plug push button and slot release (Figure 15) makes insertion
and removal of PCI adapter cards easier than ever.

The ProLiant DL590/64 server also includes light-pipe diagnostic LED indicators that improve
serviceability and further reduce downtime associated with upgrades and field maintenance.
These
indicators allow quick identification to unseated or malfunctioning components.
Manageability
A range of hardware- and software-based server management tools are offered for reducing
downtime and increasing productivity.
The ProLiant DL590/64 server includes the following
standard tools available to all ProLiant servers:
•
Automatic Server Recovery (ASR).
ASR automatically resets the server after a critical
hardware or software error.
ASR can reset the server to the OS or to the System Partition
Utilities.
The ASR reset function is based on a hardware timer working in conjunction with
the server health drivers.
If the server health drivers can no longer reset the hardware timer
after some user-specified amount of time, the server is automatically reset.
ASR can also be
configured to page the administrator when an ASR event occurs.
