Unpacking and Inspecting the Server

This section describes procedures you perform before installation. Ensure that you have adequately
prepared your environment for the new server, received the components that you ordered, and
verified that the server and its containers are in good condition after shipment.
This section addresses the following topics:
• “Verifying Site Preparation” (page 14)
• “Inspecting the Shipping Containers for Damage” (page 15)
• “Unpacking the Server” (page 15)
• “Checking the Inventory” (page 15)
• “Returning Damaged Equipment” (page 15)
• “Unloading the Server With a Lifter” (page 15)
Verifying Site Preparation

Verifying site preparation is an essential factor of a successful server installation, and includes
the following tasks:
• Gather LAN information. The IP addresses for the iLO 2 MP LAN and the system LAN are
located on the right side of the server near the bezel, above the rack mounting rail.
• Establish a method to connect to the server console.
• Verify electrical requirements. Ensure that grounding specifications and power requirements
are met.
• Validate server physical space requirements.
• Confirm environmental requirements.

For more information on server electrical, physical space, and environmental requirements, see
the HP Integrity rx2660 Site Preparation Guide.
Inspecting the Shipping Containers for Damage

HP shipping containers protect their contents under normal shipping conditions. After the
equipment arrives, carefully inspect each carton for signs of shipping damage. Shipping damage
constitutes moderate to severe damage, such as punctures in the corrugated carton, crushed
boxes, or large dents. Normal wear or slight damage to the carton is not considered shipping
damage. If you find shipping damage to the carton, contact your HP customer service
representative immediately.
Unpacking the Server

To unpack the server, follow these steps:
1. Follow the instructions printed on the outside top flap of the carton to remove the banding
and the outer carton from the server pallet.
2. Remove all inner accessory cartons and the top foam cushions, leaving only the server.
IMPORTANT: Inspect each carton for shipping damage as you unpack the server.
Checking the Inventory

The sales order packing slip lists all the equipment shipped from HP. Use this packing slip to
verify that all of the equipment has arrived.
NOTE: To identify each item by part number, refer to the sales order packing slip.
Returning Damaged Equipment

If the equipment is damaged, contact your HP customer service representative immediately. The
service representative initiates appropriate action through the transport carrier or the factory
and assists you in returning the equipment.
Unloading the Server With a Lifter
WARNING! Use caution when using a lifter. Because of the weight of the HP Integrity rx2660
server, you must center the server on the lifter forks before lifting it off the pallet to avoid injury.
NOTE: HP recommends that you follow your local guidelines when lifting equipment.
To unload the server from the pallet using a lifter (if necessary), follow these steps:
1. Unpack the server.
2. Unroll the bottom corrugated tray corresponding to the side on which the lifter will be
placed, and slide the server as close to that edge of the pallet as possible.
3. Break off any foam packaging that can prevent the lifter from being fully inserted under the
server. Do not remove the foam packaging from the corners of the server. This foam is
required to elevate the server and to enable the forks of the lifter to be placed under the
server.
4. Insert the lifter forks under the server.
5. Carefully roll the lifter forward until it is fully positioned against the side of the server.
6. Slowly raise the server off the pallet until it clears the pallet cushions.
7. Carefully roll the lifter and server away from the pallet. Do not raise the server any higher
than necessary when moving it over to the rack.
Unpacking and Inspecting the Server 15

Installing Additional Components
This section describes how to install components into the server that are not factory-installed. If
you have additional components to install, be sure to install the additional components before
installing the server into your rack or pedestal configuration. Most servers are pre-configured
with all components installed prior to shipping from the HP factory.

The rx2660 server has eight system memory (DIMM) slots located on the system board.
Memory Installation Conventions

Before installing memory, read and understand the following memory installation conventions:
• Supported DIMM sizes and memory configurations
• DIMM load order
• DIMM slot IDs
Supported DIMM Sizes

System DIMMs seat onto the memory boards. The minimum server configuration requires at
least one memory pair (group of two DIMMs).

The supported DIMM sizes for the server are as follows:
• 512 MB
• 1 GB
• 2 GB
• 4 GB
Memory Pairs
When installing memory, use a minimum of one pair of like-sized DIMMs. You can install
additional DIMMs later. Install DIMMs into the appropriate slots on the system board; each slot
has a unique ID.
Figure 1-8 shows the DIMM slot IDs.
Figure 1-8 Memory Location and Slot IDs
CAUTION: Failure to observe the following cautions results in system degradation or failure:
• Do not mix DIMM sizes or types within a pair.
• Load DIMM pairs in order of size from largest to smallest. For example, if you have a pair
of 4 GB DIMMs and a pair of 1 GB DIMMs, install the pair of 4 GB DIMMs first.
Table 1-2 lists the memory load order.
Table 1-2 Memory Load Order
Pair Number Memory Slots
1 0A; 0B
2 1A; 1B
3 2A; 2B
4 3A; 3B
Memory Loading Rules and Guidelines

Use the following rules and guidelines when installing memory:
• Install DIMMs in pairs
• Ensure that DIMMs within a pair are identical
• Install DIMM pairs in order of size from largest to smallest
• Install DIMM pairs in the specified order shown in Table 1-2

Installing Memory
To install memory, follow these steps:
1. Remove the top cover from the server. See “Removing the Top Cover” (page 19).
2. Remove the airflow guide. See “Removing the Airflow Guide” (page 20).
3. Complete the following memory installation prerequisite tasks before installing the memory:
a. Determine the DIMM load order. For more information, see “Memory Load Order”
(page 23).
b. See Figure 1-8 (page 23) to determine which DIMM slots to populate.
c. Read, understand, and follow the general guidelines to install memory in the server..
4. Install each DIMM.

connector with the notch in the DIMM.
b. Firmly and evenly push on each end of the DIMM until it seats into the slot.
c. Ensure the extraction levers are in the fully closed position.
5. Replace the airflow guide if you are finished installing additional components. See “Replacing
the Airflow Guide” (page 29).
6. Replace the top cover if you are finished installing additional components. See “Replacing
the Top Cover” (page 35). Otherwise, continue with installing components.
Installing a Processor
The rx2660 server utilizes single- or dual-core processors. Dual-core processors contain two cores
that function as separate processors. Dual-core processors double the processing power of the
processor while maintaining the physical dimensions of a single processor.
The server holds one or two single- or dual-core processors that provide the following
configuration options:
• 1P/1C (One processor / one core)
• 1P/2C (One processor / two cores)
• 2P/2C (Two processors / two cores)
• 2P/4C (Two processors / four cores)
The server has one processor installed in slot Module 0 before shipping. Install the additional
processor in slot Module 1.
CAUTION: Intel Montvale processors cannot be intermixed with similar Montecito processors.
Processor speed and cache size must be identical for all processors in a system. To ensure
compatibility whether upgrading, replacing, or adding an additional processor, use processors
with identical part numbers.
Failure to observe this caution results in performance degradation or system failure.
To ensure compatibility, use processors with identical part numbers.
Processor Load Order

The server holds up to two single- or dual-core processors on the processor board. The slots on
the processor board are labeled Module 0 and Module 1. If the server has only one processor, it
is installed in slot Module 0. Install the second processor in slot Module 1.
Table 1-3 lists the processor load sequence.

Installing the Server into a Rack or Pedestal

This section provides instructions on how to install the server into a rack or a pedestal.
Installing the Server into a Rack

The following sections describe how to install the server into an HP rack or an approved non-HP
rack.
HP Rack
HP servers that are installed into racks are shipped with equipment mounting slides. An
installation guide comes with each set of slides: HP 2U Quick Deploy Rail System Installation
Instructions for HP Products. Follow the steps in this installation guide to determine where and
how to install the server into the rack.
Non-HP Rack
The Mounting in non-HP racks guide enables you to evaluate the installation of HP equipment
into non-HP racks. Use this guide when you need to qualify whether you can install, maintain,
and service any HP equipment in a non-HP rack.
The guide is located on the HP website at: http://www.hp.com/racksolutions on the HP
Integrity and HP 9000 Servers infrastructure page. Click the Rack Systems/E link.
Select Mounting information from the menu, then select the guide titled Mounting in non-HP
racks.
Installing the Server Into a Pedestal

The server ships with a pedestal mount if you order the rackless configuration option. The
pedestal mount is packaged in a separate carton which is attached to the server carton.

To change the server from a rack mount to a rackless configuration, you need a Server Rackless
Mount Kit. The rackless mount kit comes with the HP Integrity rx2660 Server Pedestal Installation
Guide. Follow the steps in this installation guide to attach the pedestal to the server.
Connecting the Cables

This section describes the cables to connect to power the server and to provide LAN connectivity
for the server.
ac Input Power
The server can receive ac input from two different ac power sources. The power receptacles are
located at the rear of the chassis. They are labeled Power Supply 1 and Power Supply 2.
For the Data Center server, you can install a maximum of two power supplies in the server.
Installing two power supplies in the server provides 1+1 redundancy, meaning that if one power
supply fails, there is still enough power supplied to the server to operate. You must promptly
replace the failed power supply to restore 1+1 functionality.
A minimum of one power supply is required to power the server. If only one power supply is
installed in the server, there is no 1+1 capability.
For the Office Friendly server, two power supplies are required to power the server. The office
friendly server can run on one power supply, but runs quieter and more efficiently with two
power supplies installed.
Power States
The server has three power states:
• Standby power
• Full power
• Off
Table 1-4 lists the server power states.
Table 1-4 Power States
Power States Power Cable Power Activated through the iLO 2 MP PC Standby dc dc Voltage
Plugged Into Command; or Front Panel Power Button Voltage Applied?
Receptacle? Activated? Applied?
Standby power Yes No Yes No
Full power Yes Yes Yes Yes
Off No No No No
CAUTION: If the server is expected to remain in standby mode for more than 30 minutes, ac
power should be completely removed from the server. You can do this by switching off the circuit
breakers which are part of the building installation, disconnecting or switching off a power
distribution unit, or by physically removing all power cords from the server.
NOTE: If the power restore feature is set to Always On through the iLO 2 MP PR command,
the server automatically powers on to the full power state when the power cord is plugged in
to the server.
Figure 1-21 shows the ports and power supplies located on the rear panel of the server.

NOTE: The Office Friendly server is shown in Figure 1-21 (page 38). The Data Center server
may only have one power supply installed.
Applying Standby Power to the Server

To apply standby power to the server, follow these steps:
1. If the server has one power supply installed in slot P1, plug the power cord into that
receptacle. Plug the other end of the power cord into an appropriate outlet.
NOTE: The LED on the power supply does not illuminate in the standby power state. The
LED illuminates green when the server is powered on to full power.
If the power restore feature is set to Always On through the iLO 2 MP PR command, the
server automatically powers on to the full power state when the power cord is plugged into
the server.
2. If the server has two power supplies, plug the second power cord into the power supply in
slot P2. Plug the other end of the power cord into an appropriate outlet.
Connecting to the LAN

The server has two LAN ports that provide network connectivity. Figure 1-21 (page 38) shows
the available LAN ports for the server.
To enable general network connectivity for the server, follow these steps:
1. Obtain valid IP addresses for each LAN port you plan to activate.

2. Connect the LAN cable from an available LAN port into a live connection on the network.
Connecting and Setting Up the Console

This section describes how to set up and start a console session on an rx2660 server, and addresses
the following topics:
• “Setting Up the Console” (page 39)
• “Setup Checklist” (page 40)
• “Setup Flowchart” (page 41)
• “Preparation” (page 42)
• “Configuring the iLO 2 MP LAN Using DHCP and DNS” (page 43)
• “Configuring the iLO 2 MP LAN Using ARP Ping” (page 44)
• “Configuring the iLO 2 MP LAN Using the RS-232 Serial Port” (page 45)
• “Logging In to the iLO 2 MP” (page 46)
• “Additional Setup” (page 47)
Setting Up the Console

Setting up the console includes the following steps:
• Determine the physical access method to connect cables. There are two physical connections
to the iLO 2 MP:
— RS-232
— LAN.
• Configure the Integrity iLO 2 MP and assign an IP address if necessary. Though there are
several methods to configuring the LAN, DHCP with DNS is the preferred method. DHCP
with DNS comes preconfigured with default factory settings, including a default user account
and password. Other options include:
— ARP Ping
— Local RS-232 serial port
— Remote/modem port

Setup Flowchart
Use this flowchart as a guide to assist in the iLO 2 MP setup process.
Figure 1-22 iLO 2 MP Setup Flowchart

Preparation
You must perform the following tasks before you can configure the iLO 2 MP LAN.
• Determine the physical access method to select and connect cables.
• Determine the iLO 2 MP LAN configuration method and assign an IP address if necessary.
Determining the Physical iLO 2 MP Access Method

Before you can access the iLO 2 MP, you must first determine the correct physical connection
method. The iLO 2 MP has a separate LAN port from the system LAN port. It requires a separate
LAN drop, IP address, and networking information from that of the port used by the operating
system. See Figure 1-21 (page 38) for rear panel console connection port identification and cable
connection information.
Table 1-6 lists the appropriate connection method, required connection components, and
connectors to the host console. Use Table 1-6 to determine your physical connection method.

Determining the iLO 2 MP LAN Configuration Method

To access the iLO 2 MP through the iLO 2 MP LAN, the iLO 2 MP must acquire an IP address.
The way the iLO 2 MP acquires an IP address depends on whether DHCP is enabled or disabled
on the server, and if DHCP and DNS services are available to the server. (See Table 1-7 for possible
scenarios.)
Once you have determined the iLO 2 MP access, you must determine how you will configure
the iLO 2 MP LAN to acquire an IP address using the following methods:
• DHCP/DNS
• ARP Ping
• Local RS-232 serial port
• Remote/modem port
Table 1-7 provides all the possible scenarios. Use this table to help you select the appropriate
LAN configuration method to obtain an IP address.

Table 1-7 LAN Configuration Methods
DHCP DNS RS-232 Serial Port (iLO LAN Configuration Method
2 MP LC command)
Yes Yes No DHCP
Yes Yes Yes DHCP, RS-232 serial port, or remote/modem port
No No No ARP Ping
No Yes No ARP Ping
No Yes Yes ARP Ping, RS-232 serial port, or remote/modem port
Yes No Yes RS-232 serial port, or remote/modem port
No No Yes RS-232 serial port, remote/modem port, or ARP Ping
Yes No No Cannot set up the LAN. Reconsider your criteria.
Once you have determined how you will configure the iLO 2 MP LAN in order to acquire an IP
address, you must configure the iLO 2 MP LAN using the selected method.
Configuring the iLO 2 MP LAN Using DHCP and DNS

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) automatically configures all DHCP-enabled
servers with IP addresses, subnet masks, and gateway addresses. All HP Integrity entry class
servers with iLO 2 MP are shipped from the factory with DHCP enabled.
TIP: HP recommends using the DHCP and Domain Name Server (DNS) method to simplify
access to the iLO 2 MP.
When you use DHCP and DNS, you can connect to the iLO 2 MP by typing the default host name
in your browser rather than an IP address only if the following conditions apply:
• DHCP must be enabled (DHCP is enabled by default)
• You are using a DHCP server that provides the domain name and the primary DNS server
IP address
• The primary DNS server accepts dynamic DNS (DDNS) updates
• The primary DNS server IP address has been configured through the DHCP server
To configure the iLO 2 MP using DHCP and DNS, follow these steps:
1. Obtain the factory-set host name from the iLO 2 MP Media Access Protocol (MAC) address
label on the right side of the server above the rail. The default host name is 14 characters
long, consisting of the letters mp followed by the 12 characters of the MAC address, for
example: mp0014c29c064f. This address is assigned to the iLO 2 MP hardware. The iLO
2 MP hardware has a unique MAC address that identifies the hardware on the network.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you obtain the MAC address to the iLO hardware and not the
MAC address to the server core LAN card.
2. Connect the LAN cable into the iLO 2 MP port on the rear of the server. Figure 1-21 (page 38)
shows the location of the iLO 2 MP port.
3. Connect the LAN cable from the server to an active network port.
4. Apply ac power to the server (if not already done).
5. Open a browser, telnet, or SSH client and enter the iLO 2 MP IP address. The iLO 2 MP Log
In window opens.

Configuring the iLO 2 MP LAN Using ARP Ping
The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) and Packet Internet Grouper (Ping) utility uses ARP
packets to ping, or discover, a device on the local network segment. The IP address you assign
to the server must use the same network segment, or subnet, as the computer assigning the
address. ARP does not work across routed or switched networks.
ARP Ping operational issues include the following:
• You can use ARP Ping regardless of the status of DHCP, unless an IP address has ever been
acquired using DHCP
• When ARP Ping is successful, DHCP status is disabled
• Some DHCP server options can cause the apparent issuance of ARP Ping to the iLO 2 MP
which will negate the DHCP/DDNS method
• The PC and the server must be on the same physical subnet
• When a new server is first booted, DHCP is automatically available ( the factory-set default),
but ARP Ping does not start until three minutes after the iLO 2 MP is booted. This applies
to every subsequent boot of the iLO 2 MP until an IP address is obtained by DHCP or has
been assigned using the LC command, or ARP Ping succeeds
There are two ways to use the ARP Ping utility:
• Connect a PC to the network that is on the same physical subnet as the server and run the
ARP Ping commands from the PC.
• Locate an existing server on the network, log into it, and run the ARP Ping commands from
the server.
Table 1-8 lists the ARP Ping commands.
Table 1-8 ARP Ping Commands
Command Description
arp -s This command assigns an IP address to the iLO 2 MP MAC address. This ARP table entry
maps the MAC address of the iLO 2 MP LAN interface to the static IP address designated for
that interface.
ping This command tests network connections. It verifies that the iLO 2 MP LAN port is configured
with the appropriate IP address.
The following procedure explains how to use the ARP Ping utility using a PC that is connected
to the network that is on the same physical subnet as the server.
To configure a static IP address using the ARP Ping utility, follow these steps:
1. Obtain the iLO 2 MP MAC address. To set the IP address using ARP, you must know the
MAC address of the iLO 2 MP LAN. You can find the MAC address of the iLO 2 MP LAN
on the label located on the server front panel.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you obtain the MAC address of the iLO 2 MP LAN and not the
MAC address of the server core LAN.
2. Verify that an active LAN cable on the local subnet is connected to the iLO 2 MP LAN port
on the server.
3. Access a PC on the same physical subnet as the server.
4. Open a DOS window on the PC.
5. At the DOS prompt, enter arp -s to assign the IP address to the iLO MAC address.
arp -s<IP address you assign to the iLO MAC address> <iLO MAC address>
For example:
arp -s 192.0.2.1 00-00-0c-07-ac-00

6. At the DOS prompt, enter ping followed by the IP address to verify that the iLO 2 MP LAN
port is configured with the appropriate IP address. The destination address is the IP address
that is mapped to the iLO MAC address. Perform this task from the PC that has the ARP
table entry.
ping <IP address you assigned to the iLO MAC address>
For example:
ping 192.0.2.1
7. Connect to the iLO 2 MP LAN using this IP address.
8. Use web or telnet access to connect to the iLO 2 MP from a host on the local subnet and
finish setting up the LAN parameters (gateway and subnet).
Configuring the iLO 2 MP LAN Using the RS-232 Serial Port

The following procedure shows how to configure the iLO 2 MP LAN using the RS-232 serial
port.
IMPORTANT: Do not configure duplicate IP addresses on different servers within the same
network. Duplicate server IP addresses conflict and the servers cannot connect to the network.
TheLCcommand enables you to configure an IP address, host name, subnet mask, and gateway
address.
IMPORTANT: Ensure you have a console connection through the RS-232 serial port or a network
connection through the LAN to access the iLO 2 MP and use the LC command.
To assign a static IP address using the LC command, follow these steps:
1. Ensure the emulation software device is properly configured. The terminal emulation device
runs software that interfaces with the server. The software emulates console output as it
would appear on an ASCII terminal screen and displays it on a console device screen.
2. To ensure the emulation software is correctly configured, verify the following:
a. Verify that the communication settings are configured as follows:
• 8/none (parity)
• 9600 baud
• None (receive)
• None (transmit)
b. Verify that the terminal type is configured appropriately. Supported terminal types are
as follows:
• hpterm
• vt100
• vt100+
• vt-utf8
IMPORTANT: Do not use hpterm and vt100 terminal types at the same time.
There are many different emulation software applications. Consult the help section of your
emulation software application for instructions on how to configure the software options.
3. Use Table 1-6 to determine the required connection components and the ports used to connect
the server to the console device.

4. Connect the cables.
a. Connect the DB-9 end of the RS-232 serial port female-to-female cable to the console
RS-232 serial port.
b. Connect the other end of the DB-9 female-to-female cable to the console device.
5. Start the emulation software on the console device.
6. Log in to the iLO 2 MP. See “Logging In to the iLO 2 MP” (page 46).
7. At the MP Main Menu, enter CM and press Enter to select command mode.
8. At the command mode prompt, enter LS and press Enter. The screen displays the default
LAN configuration values. Write down the default values or log the information to a file
for future troubleshooting.
9. Use the LC command to disable DHCP.
a. From the LC command menu, enter D and press Enter.
b. Follow the instructions on the screen to change the DHCP status from Enabled to
Disabled.
c. Enter XD -R to reset the iLO 2 MP.
10. Use the LC command to enter information for the IP address, host, subnet mask, gateway
parameters, and so on.
11. Enter XD -R to reset the iLO 2 MP.
12. After the iLO 2 MP resets, log in to the iLO 2 MP again and enter CM at the MP> prompt.
13. Enter LS to confirm that DHCP is disabled and display a list of updated LAN configuration
settings.
Logging In to the iLO 2 MP

To log in to the iLO 2 MP, follow these steps:
1. Access the iLO 2 MP using the LAN, RS-232 serial port, telnet, SSH, or web method. The
iLO 2 MP login prompt appears.
2. Log in using the default the iLO 2 MP user name and password (Admin/Admin). The MP
Main Menu screen appears.
TIP: For security reasons, HP strongly recommends that you modify the default settings
during the initial login session. See “Modifying User Accounts and Default Password”
(page 47).
Following is the MP Main Menu screen:

MP MAIN MENU:
CO: Console
VFP: Virtual Front Panel
CM: Command Menu
CL: Console Logs
SL: Show Event Logs
HE: Main Menu Help
X: Exit Connection
This example shows the MP Main Menu accessed through the local serial port. The list of
commands displayed on the screen can be different depending on the method of access to the
iLO 2 MP.
When logging in using the local or remote RS-232 serial ports, the login prompt may not display
if another user is logged in through these ports. Use Ctrl-B to access the MP Main Menu and the
iLO 2 MP prompt (MP>).

Additional Setup
This section provides additional information to help you set up the iLO 2 MP.
Modifying User Accounts and Default Password

The iLO 2 MP comes preconfigured with default factory settings, including a default user account
and password. The two default user accounts at initial login are as follows:
• All Rights (Administrator) level user: login = Admin password = Admin
• Console Rights (Operator) level user: login = Oper password = Oper
NOTE: User account and password are case sensitive.
IMPORTANT: For security reasons, HP strongly recommends that you modify the default
settings during the initial login session.
Make the following changes using any of the iLO 2 MP user interfaces.
To modify default account configuration settings, follow these steps:
1. Log in as the administrator. You must log in as the administrator in order to modify default
user configuration settings.
2. To modify default passwords, follow these steps:
a. Access the MP Main Menu.
b. Enter CM at the MP> prompt.
c. Enter UC at the MP:CM> prompt and follow the prompts to modify default passwords.
3. To set up user accounts, follow these steps:
a. Access the MP Main Menu.
b. Enter CM at the MP> prompt.
c. Enter UC at the MP:CM> prompt and follow the prompts to modify user accounts.
Setting Up Security
For greater security and reliability, HP recommends that iLO 2 MP management traffic be on a
separate dedicated management network and that only administrators be granted access to that
network. This not only improves performance by reducing traffic load across the main network,
it also acts as the first line of defense against security attacks. A separate network enables
administrators to physically control which workstations are connected to the network.
HP also strongly recommends that you modify the default settings during the initial login session
and determine the security access required and what user accounts and privileges are needed.
Create local accounts or use directory services to control user access. See “Modifying User
Accounts and Default Password” (page 47).

Security Access Settings
CAUTION: When DHCP is enabled, the system is vulnerable to security risks because anyone
can access the iLO 2 MP until you change the default user name and password.
HP strongly recommends you assign user groups and rights before proceeding.
Determine the security access required and user accounts and privileges needed. The iLO 2 MP
provides options to control user access. Select one of the following options to prevent unauthorized
access to the iLO 2 MP:
• Change the default user name and password. See “Modifying User Accounts and Default
Password” (page 47).
• Create local accounts. You can store up to 19 user names and passwords to manage iLO 2
MP access. This is ideal for small environments such as labs and small-to-medium sized
businesses.
• Use directory services. Use the corporate directory to manage iLO 2 MP user access. This is
ideal for environments with a large number of frequently changing users. If you plan to use
directory services, HP recommends leaving at least one local account enabled as an alternate
method of access.
Accessing the Host Console

This section describes the different ways to access the host console of the rx2660 server.
Accessing the Host Console With the TUI - CO Command

This section describes the steps to access the host console using the text user interface (TUI).
To access the host console through the iLO 2 MP, follow these steps:
1. Log in using your user account name and password at the login page.
2. At the iLO 2 MP login prompt (MP>), enter the CO command to switch the console terminal
from the MP Main Menu to mirrored/redirected console mode. All mirrored data displays.
3. To return to the iLO 2 MP command interface, enter Ctrl-B or Esc and + and press Enter.
Interacting with the iLO 2 MP Using the Web GUI

Web browser access is an embedded feature of the iLO 2 MP.
The iLO 2 MP has a separate LAN port from the system LAN port. It requires a separate LAN
drop, IP address, and networking information from that of the port used by the operating system.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you use the MAC address to the iLO 2 MP LAN, and not the MAC
address to the server core LAN.
Before starting this procedure, you must have the following information:
• IP address for the iLO 2 MP LAN
• Host name (used when messages are logged or printed)
To interact with the iLO 2 MP through the web GUI, follow these steps:

1. Open a web browser and enter the host name or the IP address for the iLO 2 MP. The iLO
2 MP Login page appears (Figure 1-23).

Installation Troubleshooting
This section provides basic server troubleshooting information. It is designed to help you diagnose
common issues that can occur during server installation.
• “Troubleshooting Methodology” (page 55)
• “Server Does Not Power On” (page 56)
• “Troubleshooting Using the Server Power Button” (page 56)
• “EFI Menu is Not Available” (page 57)
• “Operating System Does Not Boot” (page 57)
• “Operating System Boots with Problems” (page 57)
• “Intermittent Server Problems” (page 57)
• “DVD Problems” (page 58)
• “Hard Drive Problems” (page 58)
• “Console Problems” (page 58)
• “Downloading and Installing the Latest Version of the Firmware” (page 58)
Troubleshooting Methodology
The server was tested prior to shipping. Failures encountered during installation can be due to
damage that occurred in transit. Re-seating connectors can clear problems that result from rough
handling. If you are installing components or assemblies, compatibility problems or incorrect
installations can be the cause of the problems. If you are installing components or assemblies,
check that items are correctly installed and that all connectors are fully engaged. If the unit does
not power on, check the power source before proceeding.
If a problem is encountered during initial operation, remove any add-in or optional components
and retest the server before continuing. Verify basic server operation before installing additional
cards and configuring software and hardware for the server requirements.
Troubleshooting is based on observation of server status indications and error messages, and by
checking system event logs. You can observe the LED indicators on the front and rear of the
server. Error messages are displayed on local and remote consoles. System history (console,
event, and history logs) is available through the management processor, and is accessed through
Installation Troubleshooting 55
the console. Additional information about troubleshooting is available on the CD provided with
the server.
Offline troubleshooting programs are available on the resource CD that is shipped with the
server. To troubleshoot the server, you must be familiar with the Offline Diagnostics Environment
(ODE) which runs in the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI). Descriptions and user information
about offline troubleshooting tools are available at http://www.docs.hp.com. The offline
tools are available for downloading at http://www.software.hp.com.
Troubleshooting Using the Server Power Button

The server Power button on the front panel operates differently depending on how long the
button is held in, and on what the system is doing when the button is pressed. You must be
aware of its uses to properly troubleshoot the system.
Table 1-10 describes what happens when the server is at EFI, and you press the Power button.
Table 1-10 Server Power Button Functions When Server is On and at EFI
Action Reaction
1-3 seconds System power turns off immediately (hard power off)
5 seconds or longer System power turns off immediately (hard power off)
Table 1-11 describes what happens when the server is on with the operating system running,
and you press the Power button.
Table 1-11 Server Power Button Functions When Server is On and OS is Running
Action Reaction
1-3 seconds System power turns off (software controlled power off)
5 seconds or longer System power turns off immediately (hard power off)
If the server is off, and power is not connected to server power supplies, pressing the Power
button has no effect.
If the server is off, and power is connected to server power supplies, the front panel power LED
blinks at a 1 Hz rate. In this state, standby power is available to server circuits, but main power
is off. Table 1-12 describes what happens when the server is off, and you press the Power button.
Table 1-12 Server Power Button Functions When Server is Off
Action Reaction
1-3 seconds System power turns on
Server Does Not Power On

The server Power button on the front panel operates differently depending on how long the
button is held, and on what the system is doing when the button is pressed. You must be aware
of its uses to properly troubleshoot the system.

NOTE: If the server is off, and power is not connected to server power supplies, pressing the
Power button has no effect.
Power problems during installation are usually related to the installation process. If the server
does not power on, check the LED indicators on the power supply rear panels and follow these
steps.
• If the ac power LED on the power supply on the rear panel of the server is lit, power is
available to the server.
• If the ac power LED is not lit, the server is either in standby power mode, or there is a
problem. Re-seat the power supply. If the problem persists, remove and re-seat the board
within the server. If the problem persists, replace the power supply or the power supply
interface board.
• If the console shows that the server is powered on, but server LEDs indicate that power is
off, remove and re-seat connectors on the LED status board. If the problem persists, replace
the LED status board. If the console shows that the server is not powered on (server is off),
remove and re-seat connectors on the system board. If the problem persists, replace the
power supply interface board, or the system board.

experiencing DVD problems, follow these steps:
1. Remove and reinsert the disk.
2. Replace the disk.
3. Remove and reinstall the DVD drive. Check that connectors are fully engaged.
4. Replace the DVD drive.
Hard Drive Problems

Hard drive problems that occur during installation are usually due to rough handling. The drive
may not be correctly seated or may have been damaged in transit. If you are experiencing hard
drive problems, follow these steps:
1. Remove and reinsert the faulty hard drive.
2. Swap the hard drive with one from another slot or with a known good spare.
3. Remove and reinstall the hard drive backplane. Check that connectors are fully engaged.
4. Replace the hard drive backplane.
