Page 47: Installing Pci I/O Cards
64-port Terminal MUX Installing PCI I/O Cards HP 9000 rp7420 servers implement manual release latch (MRL) hardware for use in online add or replacement (OLAR) operations. If an MRL is left open while the server is booting, HP-UX can incorrectly cache PCI slot power status causing OLAR operations to fail. To prevent this situation, ensure all the MRLs are closed before booting the server.
Page 48: Pci I/O Slot Details
• To determine the status of all the PCI I/O slots, run the olrad -q command. • Obtain a copy of the interface card guide for instructions on preparing the operating system for the online addition of the PCI I/O card before attempting to insert a PCI I/O card into the PCI-X card cage assembly backplane slot.
Page 49 Check for errors in the hotplugd daemon log file (default: /var/adm/hotplugd.log). The critical resource analysis (CRA) performed while doing an attention button initiated add action is very restrictive and the action will not complete—it will fail—to protect critical resources from being impacted. For finer control over CRA actions use pdweb or the olrad command.
Page 51: Cabling And Powering The Server
4 Cabling and Powering the Server After you have unpacked the server and moved into position, you must be connect it to an AC power source. Check the AC power for the proper voltage before you power the system on. This chapter describes these activities.
Page 52: Checking The Voltage
NOTE: Perform these procedures for each power cord to be plugged directly into the back of the HP 9000 rp7420 server. If you do not get the expected results from this voltage check, see “Checking the Voltage (Additional Procedure)” (page 54).
Page 53: Voltage Reference Points For Iec 320 C19 Plug
IMPORTANT: Perform the following measurements for every power cord that plugs into the HP 9000 rp7420 server. Measure the voltage between L1 and L2. This is considered to be a phase-to-phase measurement in North America. In Europe and certain parts of Asia-Pacific, this measurement is referred to as a phase-to-neutral measurement.
Page 54: Checking The Voltage (Additional Procedure)
Insert the other probe into the ground pin for A0. Verify that the measurement is between 0–5 V AC. If the measurement is 5 V or greater, escalate the situation. Do not attempt to plug the power cords into the HP 9000 rp7420 server. Checking the Voltage (Additional Procedure) The voltage check ensures that all phases (and neutral, for international systems) are connected correctly to the cabinet and that the AC input voltage is within limits.
Page 55: Mp Core I/O Connections
11. Check that the indicator light on each power supply is on. MP Core I/O Connections Each HP 9000 rp7420 server can have up to two MP core I/O board sets installed. Which allows two partitions to operate, or MP core I/O redundancy in a single partition configuration. Each MP core I/O board set consists of two boards: the MP/SCSI board and the LAN/SCSI board.
Page 56: Lan/Scsi Connections
Setting Up the Customer Engineer Tool (PC) The Customer Engineer (CE) Tool is usually a laptop. It enables communication with the MP in the HP 9000 rp7420 server. The MP monitors the activity of either a one partition or a multiple-partition configuration.

NOTE: HP 9000 rp7420 servers implement manual retention latch (MRL) hardware for use in online add or replacement (OLAR) operations. If an MRL is left open while the server is booting, HP-UX can incorrectly cache PCI slot power status causing OLAR operations to fail. To prevent this situation, ensure all the MRLs are closed before booting the server.

Press the attention button. See Figure 6-22. The green power LED will start to blink and then turn steady Off. If the green power LED does not go Off, then check the hotplugd daemon log file (default: /var/adm/ hotplugd.log) for errors, and do not proceed further. NOTE: If the attention button is pressed a second time during the first five seconds while the green LED is blinking, the operation is cancelled and the power to the slot remains on.

by protecting, for example, against power source failures or accidentally tripped circuit breakers. The server can receive AC input from two different AC power sources. System AC Power Specifications Power Cords Table B-3 lists the various power cables available for use with a HP Integrity rx7620 server. Each power cord is 15 feet (4.5 meters) in length with a IEC 60320-1 C19 female connector attached to one end.
Page 111: Dc-Powered Systems
NOTE: “Maximum theoretical power” is used to describe input power at the AC input. It is expressed in Watts and Volt-Amps to take into account power factor correction. The calculated sum is the maximum worst case power consumption for every subsystem in the server. This number will not be exceeded by a properly functioning server for any combination of hardware and software.

Each cell area fan cooling is controlled by a smart fan control board, embedded in the fan module plastic housing. The smart fan control board receives fan control input from the system fan controller on the system backplane and returns fan status information to the system fan controller. The smart fan control board also controls the power and the pulse width modulated control signal to the fan and monitors the speed indicator back from the fan.
