NOTE: Label the AC power cords during the installation. One suggestion is to use tie wraps that have the flag molded into the tie wrap. The flag can be labeled using the appropriate two characters to represent the particular AC power input (for example, A0). Another suggestion would be to use color-coded plastic bands. Use one color to represent the first pair A0/A1 and another color to represent the second pair B0/B1 (provided a second power source is available at the customer site). Applying Power to the HP 9000 rp8420 server Observe the functionality of the server before attaching any LAN or serial cables, the system console, or any peripherals to the server. Then, after applying an active AC power source to the server, make the following observations at three different intervals, or points in time. INTERVAL ONE The power has just been applied to the server but the front panel On/Off switch is Off. The front air intake fans will flash a dim red color, the BPS will flash amber and an amber light is present on the hard disk drives. INTERVAL TWO After the power has been plugged into the server for about 30 seconds, the standby power turns on and the front intake fan LED indicators turn solid green. The BPS will flash green and the amber light is still present on the hard disk drives. The front panel On/Off switch is Off at this interval. Housekeeping power is up at this point. INTERVAL THREE With the On/Off switch on the front of the server set to On, the intake fans spin up and become noticeably audible while the LED indicator remains solid green. The BPS LED indicator turns a solid green and the PCI backplane power supply LED indicators turn solid green. The hard disk drive LED turns green briefly and then the LED turns off. Installing the Line Cord Anchor (rack mounted servers) The line cord anchor is attached to the rear of the server when rack mounted. It provides a method to secure the line cords to the server, preventing accidental removal of the cords from the server. Four Cell Server Installation (rp8400, rp8420, rp8440, rx8620, rx8640) There are holes pre-drilled, and captive nuts pre-installed in the server chassis. To install the line cord anchor: 1. Align the line cord anchor thumbscrews with the corresponding captive nuts at the rear of the chassis. Refer to Figure 4-7: "Four Cell Line Cord Anchor (rp8400, rp8420, rp8440, rx8620, rx8640)", Connecting AC Input Power 65

NOTE:
Label the AC power cords during the installation. One suggestion is to use tie wraps
that have the flag molded into the tie wrap. The flag can be labeled using the appropriate two
characters to represent the particular AC power input (for example, A0). Another suggestion
would be to use color-coded plastic bands. Use one color to represent the first pair A0/A1 and
another color to represent the second pair B0/B1 (provided a second power source is available
at the customer site).
Applying Power to the HP 9000 rp8420 server
Observe the functionality of the server before attaching any LAN or serial cables, the system
console, or any peripherals to the server. Then, after applying an active AC power source to the
server, make the following observations at three different intervals, or points in time.
INTERVAL ONE
The power has just been applied to the server but the front panel
On/Off
switch
is
Off
. The front air intake fans will flash a dim red color, the BPS will flash amber and an amber
light is present on the hard disk drives.
INTERVAL TWO
After the power has been plugged into the server for about 30 seconds, the
standby power turns on and the front intake fan LED indicators turn solid green. The BPS will
flash green and the amber light is still present on the hard disk drives. The front panel
On/Off
switch is
Off
at this interval. Housekeeping power is up at this point.
INTERVAL THREE
With the
On/Off
switch on the front of the server set to
On
, the intake fans
spin up and become noticeably audible while the LED indicator remains solid green. The BPS
LED indicator turns a solid green and the PCI backplane power supply LED indicators turn solid
green. The hard disk drive LED turns green briefly and then the LED turns off.
Installing the Line Cord Anchor (rack mounted servers)
The line cord anchor is attached to the rear of the server when rack mounted. It provides a method
to secure the line cords to the server, preventing accidental removal of the cords from the server.
Four Cell Server Installation (rp8400, rp8420, rp8440, rx8620, rx8640)
There are holes pre-drilled, and captive nuts pre-installed in the server chassis.
To install the line cord anchor:
1.
Align the line cord anchor thumbscrews with the corresponding captive nuts at the rear of
the chassis. Refer to
Figure 4-7: “Four Cell Line Cord Anchor (rp8400, rp8420, rp8440, rx8620,
rx8640)”
