Preparation Procedures
Before beginning any of the removal and replacement procedures:
1.Turn OFF the server and any peripheral devices.
2.Disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet, then from the server.
3.Disconnect all external peripheral devices from the server.
4.For most removal and replacement procedures, you must remove the server from the rack and place it on a sturdy table or workbench. Refer to the ProLiant 1850R Setup and Installation Guide.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not attempt to remove the server from the rack by yourself. A minimum of two people are required to remove the server from the rack.
WARNING: Because the rack allows you to stack computer components on a vertical rather than horizontal plane, you must take precautions to provide for rack stability and safety. It is important that you follow these precautions to provide for rack stability and safety, and to protect both personnel and property. Heed all cautions and warnings throughout the installation instructions that came with the server.
CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. Be sure you are properly grounded before beginning any installation procedure. See the section titled ???Electrostatic Discharge??? for more information.
Rack Warnings
WARNING: Always load the heaviest item first and load the rack from the bottom up. This makes the rack
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to
the rack.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, the bottom stabilizers on the equipment must be fully extended. Be sure that the equipment is properly supported/braced when installing options and cards.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, at least two people are needed to safely unload the rack from the pallet. An empty 42U rack weighs 253 lb (115 kg), is over seven ft (2.1m) tall, and may become unstable when being moved on its casters. Do not stand in front of the rack as it rolls down the ramp from the pallet; handle it from the sides.
WARNING: A rack may become unstable if more than one component is extended for any reason. To reduce the risk of personal injury, be sure that the rack is adequately stabilized before extending a component outside the rack, and extend only one component at a time.
WARNING: Before beginning work on the rack, be sure that the leveling jacks are extended to the floor, that the full weight of the rack rests on the level floor, and that either stabilizers are installed or multiple racks are coupled for stability.

The two main functions of DAAD are:
???Collecting all possible information about array controllers in the system
???Offering a list of all detected problems
NOTE: Refer to the Drive Array Advanced Diagnostics User Guide, found on the SmartStart CD, for complete details and procedures about this diagnostic tool.
DAAD works by issuing multiple commands to the array controllers to determine if a problem exists. This data can then be saved to a file and, in severe situations, this file can be sent to Compaq for analysis. In most cases, DAAD will provide enough information to initiate problem resolution immediately.
NOTE: DAAD does not write to the drives or destroy data. It does not change or remove configuration information.
Starting DAAD
To start DAAD:
1.Insert the DAAD diskette into drive A.
2.Reboot the system - OR - if you are at the DOS prompt, enter the following:
A:DAAD
NOTE: To generate a DAAD report without starting the interactive portion of the utility, enter the following at the DOS prompt: DAAD filename
where filename is the name of the file or report.
A dialog box is displayed, indicating the version of DAAD installed. Press the Enter (or ???C???) key to continue, or press the Esc (or ???E???) key to exit without continuing.
1.If you continue, a Please Wait panel is displayed, indicating that DAAD is identifying the system parameters.
DAAD gathers all the information it can from all of the array controllers in the system. The time it takes to gather this information depends on the size of your system.
A second Please Wait panel may be displayed to indicate that the utility is identifying the ROM version of an array controller in the system.
CAUTION: Do not cycle the power; the utility must perform low- level operations that, if interrupted, could cause the controller to revert to a previous level of firmware if the firmware was soft- upgraded.
When the information gathering process is complete, the main DAAD screen is displayed.

Server Health Logs
In some servers, Server Health Logs are replaced by the IML, if it is supported. See ???Integrated Management Display??? in this chapter for more information.
The Server Health Logs contain information to help identify and correct any server failures and correlate hardware changes with server failure. The Server Health Logs are stored in nonvolatile RAM and consist of the Critical Error Log and the Revision History Table.
If errors occur, information about the errors is automatically stored in the Critical Error Log.
Whenever boards or components (that support revision tracking) are updated to a new revision, the Revision History Table will be updated.
Critical Error Log
The Critical Error Log records memory errors, as well as catastrophic hardware and software errors that cause the system to fail. This information helps you quickly identify and correct the problem, thus minimizing downtime.
You can view the Critical Error Log through the Compaq Insight Manager. The Diagnostics Utility either resolves the error or suggests corrective action in systems that do not support event logs.
The Critical Error Log identifies and records all the following errors. Each error type is briefly explained below.
Compaq ProLiant 1850R Servers Maintenance and Service Guide
Compaq ProLiant 1850R Servers Maintenance and Service Guide
Revision History Table
Some errors can be resolved by reviewing changes to the server configuration. The server has an Automatic Revision Tracking (ART) feature that helps you review recent changes to the server configuration.
One ART feature is the Revision History Table, which contains the hardware version number of the system board and any other system boards providing
The Revision History Table is stored in nonvolatile RAM and is accessed through Inspect Utility and Compaq Insight Manager.

Storage Automatic Reconstruction
This feature automatically reconstructs data to an online spare or to a replaced drive if a drive fails. To use the reconstruction feature, you must configure your server for drive mirroring or data guarding. The reconstruction decreases system downtime by allowing rapid recovery to full system operation if a drive fails.
Network Interface Fault Recovery Tracking
This feature tracks over 20 failure indication parameters, such as alignment errors, lost frames, and frame copy errors, of Ethernet and Token Ring network interfaces. It decreases network downtime by enabling diagnosis of actual network interface failures.
Memory Fault Recovery Tracking
This feature inspects the operation of the memory subsystem looking for uncorrectable memory errors.
Compaq ProLiant 1850R Servers Maintenance and Service Guide
Remote Service Features
Compaq servers have the following management features that you can access by modem or network:

Compaq Insight Management Software
Architecture
The Compaq Insight Management software architecture is typical of other network management solutions. It has a client/server architecture and is composed of agent software (Compaq Insight Management Agents) and the management application software (Compaq Insight Manager).
Insight Management Agents
Insight Agents operate on Compaq systems (such as servers and workstations), performing in- depth monitoring of the system's state by collecting and measuring system parameters. These parameters indicate the current state of subsystems by counting the occurrence of particular events (for example, the number of read operations performed on a disk drive) or monitoring the state of a critical function (such as whether the cooling fan is operating).
Insight Desktop Agents operate on Compaq Deskpro computers monitoring functions that include temperature sensing and disk
