Space and airflow requirements  
To allow for servicing and adequate airflow, observe the following space and airflow requirements when  
deciding where to install a rack:  
•
•
•
Leave a minimum clearance of 63.5 cm (25 in) in front of the rack.  
Leave a minimum clearance of 76.2 cm (30 in) behind the rack.  
Leave a minimum clearance of 121.9 cm (48 in) from the back of the rack to the back of another rack  
or row of racks.  
HP servers draw in cool air through the front door and expel warm air through the rear door. Therefore, the  
front and rear rack doors must be adequately ventilated to allow ambient room air to enter the cabinet, and  
the rear door must be adequately ventilated to allow the warm air to escape from the cabinet.  
CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and damage to the equipment, do not block the  
ventilation openings.  
When vertical space in the rack is not filled by a server or rack component, the gaps between the  
components cause changes in airflow through the rack and across the servers. Cover all gaps with blanking  
panels to maintain proper airflow.  
CAUTION: Always use blanking panels to fill empty vertical spaces in the rack. This arrangement  
ensures proper airflow. Using a rack without blanking panels results in improper cooling that can  
lead to thermal damage.  
The 9000 and 10000 Series Racks provide proper server cooling from flow-through perforations in the front  
and rear doors that provide 64 percent open area for ventilation.  
CAUTION: When using a Compaq branded 7000 series rack, install the high airflow rack door  
insert (PN 327281-B21 for 42U rack, PN 157847-B21 for 22U rack) to provide proper  
front-to-back airflow and cooling.  
CAUTION: If a third-party rack is used, observe the following additional requirements to ensure  
adequate airflow and to prevent damage to the equipment:  
• Front and rear doors—If the 42U rack includes closing front and rear doors, you must allow  
5,350 sq cm (830 sq in) of holes evenly distributed from top to bottom to permit adequate  
airflow (equivalent to the required 64 percent open area for ventilation).  
• Side—The clearance between the installed rack component and the side panels of the rack  
must be a minimum of 7 cm (2.75 in).  
Temperature requirements  
To ensure continued safe and reliable equipment operation, install or position the system in a well-ventilated,  
climate-controlled environment.  
The maximum recommended ambient operating temperature (TMRA) for most server products is 35°C  
(95°F). The temperature in the room where the rack is located must not exceed 35°C (95°F).  
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to the equipment when installing third-party options:  
• Do not permit optional equipment to impede airflow around the server or to increase the  
internal rack temperature beyond the maximum allowable limits.  
• Do not exceed the manufacturer’s TMRA.

Power requirements  
Installation of this equipment must comply with local and regional electrical regulations governing the  
installation of information technology equipment by licensed electricians. This equipment is designed to  
operate in installations covered by NFPA 70, 1999 Edition (National Electric Code) and NFPA-75, 1992  
(code for Protection of Electronic Computer/Data Processing Equipment). For electrical power ratings on  
options, refer to the product rating label or the user documentation supplied with that option.  
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. Consult the electrical  
authority having jurisdiction over wiring and installation requirements of your facility.  
CAUTION: Protect the server from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a  
regulating uninterruptible power supply. This device protects the hardware from damage caused  
by power surges and voltage spikes and keeps the system in operation during a power failure.  
When installing more than one server, you may need to use additional power distribution devices to safely  
provide power to all devices. Observe the following guidelines:  
•
•
Balance the server power load between available AC supply branch circuits.  
Do not allow the overall system AC current load to exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit AC current  
rating.  
•
•
Do not use common power outlet strips for this equipment.  
Provide a separate electrical circuit for the server.  
Electrical grounding requirements  
The server must be grounded properly for proper operation and safety. In the United States, you must install  
the equipment in accordance with NFPA 70, 1999 Edition (National Electric Code), Article 250, as well as  
any local and regional building codes. In Canada, you must install the equipment in accordance with  
Canadian Standards Association, CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code. In all other countries, you must  
install the equipment in accordance with any regional or national electrical wiring codes, such as the  
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Code 364, parts 1 through 7. Furthermore, you must be sure  
that all power distribution devices used in the installation, such as branch wiring and receptacles, are listed  
or certified grounding-type devices.  
Because of the high ground-leakage currents associated with multiple servers connected to the same power  
source, HP recommends the use of a PDU that is either permanently wired to the building’s branch circuit or  
includes a nondetachable cord that is wired to an industrial-style plug. NEMA locking-style plugs or those  
complying with IEC 60309 are considered suitable for this purpose. Using common power outlet strips for  
the server is not recommended.

Population rules  
When installing memory modules, observe the following population rules:  
•
•
Use only HP memory modules listed in the DL585 QuickSpecs at the HP website  
Advanced ECC is not available if x4 and x8 memory modules are mixed in channels (A and B), (C and  
D), or both, but standard ECC is still available. Advanced ECC is available if x4 and x8 memory  
modules are mixed in memory channels (A and C), (B and D), or both.  
Population guidelines  
While adhering to the memory population rules ("Population rules" on page 44), performance can be  
improved by following the guidelines below:  
•
Memory modules may be installed one at a time per processor, but installing two at a time per processor  
provides for additional performance and installing four at a time per processor provides for better  
performance.  
•
•
•
For optimal performance, install equal amounts of memory for both processors.  
For best performance, install all memory modules of the same speed on the same processor.  
For best power, install all memory modules of the same voltage on the same processor.  
Online Spare memory population guidelines  
Online spare memory provides protection against persistent DRAM failure. It monitors DIMMs for excessive  
correctable errors and copies the content of an unhealthy rank to an available spare rank in advance of  
multi-bit or persistent single-bit failures that may result in uncorrectable faults. Rank-sparing is more efficient  
than DIMM-sparing since only a portion of a DIMM is set aside for memory protection.  
Hardware options installation 44  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
   
When Online Spare memory is enabled, one of the ranks is set aside as the Online spare rank. In the event  
that ranks of different sizes are on the same memory channel, a rank is selected that will be able to contain  
any of the ranks in the event of an Online spare switchover.  
If a DIMM rank on a given memory channel exceeds its correctable ECC threshold, then the contents of the  
failing DIMM rank is copied to the spare DIMM rank. Once the copy is complete, all memory accesses to the  
previous failing DIMM rank go to the spare DIMM rank. Online spare is handled on a per memory channel  
basis.  
No performance penalty occurs for rank-sparing, other than the time it takes to copy the data from the failing  
rank to the spare rank upon an error condition.  
The following population rules apply to each memory cartridge. Begin with the population order (on page  
43) and the following additional constraints:  
•
•
•
All installed processors must contain a valid sparing configuration.  
Install DIMMs following the population rules (on page 44).  
Install at least two ranks on a given channel.  
Rank sparing cannot be enabled if one single rank DIMM is on a given channel. For example, if one  
single rank DIMM is populated (following the population rules) on all the channels on a processor, then  
Online spare cannot be enabled. To support Online spare in this case, the DIMMs would have to be  
paired together on a single channel.  
Memory bus speed  
Depending on the quantity and native speed of the memory modules installed, memory bus speeds can be  
1333 MHz, 1066 MHz, 800 MHz, or 667 MHz. Memory bus speeds can be different for each processor.  
To determine memory bus speeds:  
1.  
2.  
Within RBSU, select the Power Management Options menu > Advanced Power Management Options  
menu > Maximum Memory Bus Frequency menu.  
Select one of the following menu options:  
o
Auto (default)—The memory bus speed is set to what is shown in the following table. If the native  
speed of the installed memory module is slower than the memory bus speed, the memory bus speed  
is set to the memory module native speed.

Single-, dual-, and quad-rank DIMMs  
To understand and configure memory protection modes properly, an understanding of single-, dual-, and  
quad-rank DIMMs is helpful. Some DIMM configuration requirements are based on these classifications.  
A single-rank DIMM has one set of memory chips that is accessed while writing to or reading from the  
memory. A dual-rank DIMM is similar to having two single-rank DIMMs on the same module, with only one  
rank accessible at a time. A quad-rank DIMM is, effectively, two dual-rank DIMMs on the same module. Only  
one rank is accessible at a time. The server memory control subsystem selects the proper rank within the  
DIMM when writing to or reading from the DIMM.  
Dual- and quad-rank DIMMs provide the greatest capacity with the existing memory technology. For  
example, if current DRAM technology supports 2-GB single-rank DIMMs, a dual-rank DIMM would be 4-GB,  
and a quad-rank DIMM would be 8-GB.  
DIMM identification  
To determine DIMM characteristics, use the label attached to the DIMM and the following illustration and

Advanced ECC memory  
Advanced ECC memory is the memory protection mode for this server. In Advanced ECC, the server does not  
fail because of correctable memory errors. The server provides notification if the level of correctable errors  
exceeds a pre-defined threshold rate.  
Advanced ECC provides additional protection over standard ECC because it is possible to correct certain  
memory errors that would otherwise be uncorrectable and result in a server failure.  
Whereas standard ECC can correct single-bit memory errors, Advanced ECC can correct single-bit memory  
errors and multi-bit memory errors if all failed bits are on the same DRAM device on the memory module.

Battery-backed write cache module  
The HP BBWC protects against hard boot, power, controller, and system board failures. The server supports  
the following battery-backed options:  
•
•
256-MB cache module (standard)  
512-MB cache module (optional)  
Hardware options installation 63  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
The BBWC consists of two parts: a battery pack and a storage cache module.  
Along with the cache module, the battery pack provides transportable data protection, increases overall  
controller performance, and maintains any cached data for up to 72 hours after the server loses power. The  
NiMH batteries in the battery pack are continuously recharged through a trickle-charging process whenever  
the system power is on.  
CAUTION: To prevent a server malfunction or damage to the equipment, do not add or remove  
the battery pack while an array capacity expansion, RAID level migration, or stripe size migration  
is in progress.  
CAUTION: After the server is powered down, wait 15 seconds and then check the amber LED  
before unplugging the cable from the cache module. If the amber LED blinks after 15 seconds, do  
not remove the cable from the cache module. The cache module is backing up data, and data is  
lost if the cable is detached.  
IMPORTANT: The battery pack might have a low charge when installed. In this case, a POST  
error message is displayed when the server is powered up, indicating that the battery pack is  
temporarily disabled. No action is necessary on your part. The internal circuitry automatically  
recharges the batteries and enables the battery pack. This process might take up to four hours.  
During this time, the cache module functions properly, but without the performance advantage of  
the battery pack.  
To install the component:  
1.  
Close all applications, and power down the server (on page 25). This procedure flushes all data from  
the cache.

TPM installation requires the use of drive encryption technology, such as the Microsoft Windows BitLocker  
Drive Encryption feature. For more information on BitLocker, see the Microsoft website  
CAUTION: Always observe the guidelines in this document. Failure to follow these guidelines  
can cause hardware damage or halt data access.  
When installing or replacing a TPM, observe the following guidelines:  
•
•
•
•
Do not remove an installed TPM. Once installed, the TPM becomes a permanent part of the system  
board.  
When installing or replacing hardware, HP service providers cannot enable the TPM or the encryption  
technology. For security reasons, only the customer can enable these features.  
When returning a system board for service replacement, do not remove the TPM from the system board.  
When requested, HP Service provides a TPM with the spare system board.  
Any attempt to remove an installed TPM from the system board breaks or disfigures the TPM security  
rivet. Upon locating a broken or disfigured rivet on an installed TPM, administrators should consider the  
system compromised and take appropriate measures to ensure the integrity of the system data.  
•
•
When using BitLocker, always retain the recovery key/password. The recovery key/password is  
required to enter Recovery Mode after BitLocker detects a possible compromise of system integrity.  
HP is not liable for blocked data access caused by improper TPM use. For operating instructions, see the  
encryption technology feature documentation provided by the operating system.  
Retaining the recovery key/password  
The recovery key/password is generated during BitLockerâ„¢ setup, and can be saved and printed after  
BitLockerâ„¢ is enabled. When using BitLockerâ„¢, always retain the recovery key/password. The recovery  
key/password is required to enter Recovery Mode after BitLockerâ„¢ detects a possible compromise of system  
integrity.  
To help ensure maximum security, observe the following guidelines when retaining the recovery  
key/password:  
•
•
•
Always store the recovery key/password in multiple locations.  
Always store copies of the recovery key/password away from the server.

After defaults have been restored  
Default configuration settings are sufficient for proper typical server operation, but configuration settings can  
be modified using RBSU. The system will prompt you for access to RBSU with each power-up.  
Auto-configuration process  
The auto-configuration process automatically runs when you boot the server for the first time. During the  
power-up sequence, the system ROM automatically configures the entire system without needing any  
intervention. During this process, the ORCA utility, in most cases, automatically configures the array to a  
default setting based on the number of drives connected to the server.  
NOTE: The server may not support all the following examples.  
NOTE: If the boot drive is not empty or has been written to in the past, ORCA does not  
automatically configure the array. You must run ORCA to configure the array settings.

Configuring AMP modes  
Servers using AMD processors do not support Mirrored Memory or RAID Memory Mode.  
Not all ProLiant servers support all AMP modes. RBSU provides menu options only for the modes supported  
by the server. Advanced memory protection within RBSU enables the following advanced memory.  
•
Advanced ECC Mode—Provides memory protection beyond Standard ECC. All single-bit failures and  
some multi-bit failures can be corrected without resulting in system downtime.  
•
Online Spare Mode—Provides protection against failing or degraded DIMMs. Certain memory is set  
aside as spare, and automatic failover to spare memory occurs when the system detects a degraded  
DIMM. DIMMs that are likely to receive a fatal/uncorrectable memory error are removed from  
operation automatically, resulting in less system downtime.  
See the server-specific user guide for DIMM population requirements.  
•
•
Mirrored Memory Mode—Provides protection against uncorrectable memory errors that would  
otherwise result in system failure. In this mode, the system maintains two copies of all data. If an  
uncorrectable memory error occurs, the system automatically retrieves the good data from the mirrored  
copy. The system continues to operate normally without any user intervention. If the system supports  
hot-plug memory, the failed memory can be replaced while the system continues to operate.  
RAID Memory Mode—Provides protection levels similar to Mirrored Memory Mode, and it requires less  
memory allocation than full redundancy.

Management tools  
Automatic Server Recovery  
ASR is a feature that causes the system to restart when a catastrophic operating system error occurs, such as  
a blue screen, ABEND (does not apply to HP ProLiant DL980 Servers), or panic. A system fail-safe timer, the  
ASR timer, starts when the System Management driver, also known as the Health Driver, is loaded. When the  
Server software and configuration utilities 76

operating system is functioning properly, the system periodically resets the timer. However, when the  
operating system fails, the timer expires and restarts the server.  
ASR increases server availability by restarting the server within a specified time after a system hang. At the  
same time, the HP SIM console notifies you by sending a message to a designated pager number that ASR  
has restarted the system. You can disable ASR from the System Management Homepage or through RBSU.  
ROMPaq utility  
The ROMPaq utility enables you to upgrade the system firmware (BIOS). To upgrade the firmware, insert a  
ROMPaq USB Key into an available USB port and boot the system. In addition to ROMPaq, Online Flash

Redundant ROM support  
The server enables you to upgrade or configure the ROM safely with redundant ROM support. The server has  
an 8-MB ROM that acts as two, separate 4-MB ROMs. In the standard implementation, one side of the ROM  
contains the current ROM program version, while the other side of the ROM contains a backup version.  
NOTE: The server ships with the same version programmed on each side of the ROM.  
Safety and security benefits  
When you flash the system ROM, ROMPaq writes over the backup ROM and saves the current ROM as a  
backup, enabling you to switch easily to the alternate ROM version if the new ROM becomes corrupted for  
any reason. This feature protects the existing ROM version, even if you experience a power failure while  
flashing the ROM.

HP Insight Diagnostics is a proactive server management tool, available in both offline and online versions,  
that provides diagnostics and troubleshooting capabilities to assist IT administrators who verify server  
installations, troubleshoot problems, and perform repair validation.  
HP Insight Diagnostics Offline Edition performs various in-depth system and component testing while the OS  
is not running. To run this utility, launch the SmartStart CD.  
HP Insight Diagnostics Online Edition is a web-based application that captures system configuration and  
other related data needed for effective server management. Available in Microsoft® Windows® and Linux  
versions, the utility helps to ensure proper system operation.  
For more information or to download the utility, refer to the HP website (http://www.hp.com/servers/diags).  
HP Insight Diagnostics survey functionality  
HP Insight Diagnostics (on page 79) provides survey functionality that gathers critical hardware and software  
information on ProLiant servers.  
This functionality supports operating systems that may not be supported by the server. For operating systems  
supported by the server, see the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/supportos).  
If a significant change occurs between data-gathering intervals, the survey function marks the previous  
information and overwrites the survey data files to reflect the latest changes in the configuration.  
Survey functionality is installed with every SmartStart-assisted HP Insight Diagnostics installation, or it can be  
installed through the HP PSP ("ProLiant Support Packs" on page 81).  
NOTE: The current version of SmartStart provides the memory spare part numbers for the server.  
To download the latest version, see the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support).

Federal Communications Commission notice  
Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and Regulations has established Radio  
Frequency (RF) emission limits to provide an interference-free radio frequency spectrum. Many electronic  
devices, including computers, generate RF energy incidental to their intended function and are, therefore,  
covered by these rules. These rules place computers and related peripheral devices into two classes, A and  
B, depending upon their intended installation. Class A devices are those that may reasonably be expected  
to be installed in a business or commercial environment. Class B devices are those that may reasonably be  
expected to be installed in a residential environment (for example, personal computers). The FCC requires  
devices in both classes to bear a label indicating the interference potential of the device as well as additional  
operating instructions for the user.  
FCC rating label  
The FCC rating label on the device shows the classification (A or B) of the equipment. Class B devices have  
an FCC logo or ID on the label. Class A devices do not have an FCC logo or ID on the label. After you  
determine the class of the device, refer to the corresponding statement.

Electrostatic discharge  
Preventing electrostatic discharge  
To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when setting up the system  
or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system  
boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device.  
To prevent electrostatic damage:  
•
•
•
•
•
Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.  
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.  
Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.  
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.  
Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.  
Grounding methods to prevent electrostatic discharge  
Several methods are used for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when handling or  
installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:  
•
Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer chassis. Wrist  
straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm ±10 percent resistance in the ground cords. To  
provide proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.  
•
Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both feet when  
standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor mats.  
•
•
Use conductive field service tools.  
Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.  
If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, have an authorized reseller install  
the part.  
For more information on static electricity or assistance with product installation, contact an authorized  
reseller.

providers or service partners) identifies that the repair can be accomplished by the use of a CSR part, HP will  
ship that part directly to you for replacement. There are two categories of CSR parts:  
•
Mandatory—Parts for which customer self repair is mandatory. If you request HP to replace these parts,  
you will be charged for the travel and labor costs of this service.  
•
Optional—Parts for which customer self repair is optional. These parts are also designed for customer  
self repair. If, however, you require that HP replace them for you, there may or may not be additional  
charges, depending on the type of warranty service designated for your product.  
NOTE: Some HP parts are not designed for customer self repair. In order to satisfy the customer warranty,  
HP requires that an authorized service provider replace the part. These parts are identified as "No" in the  
Illustrated Parts Catalog.  
Based on availability and where geography permits, CSR parts will be shipped for next business day  
delivery. Same day or four-hour delivery may be offered at an additional charge where geography permits.  
If assistance is required, you can call the HP Technical Support Center and a technician will help you over the  
telephone. HP specifies in the materials shipped with a replacement CSR part whether a defective part must  
be returned to HP. In cases where it is required to return the defective part to HP, you must ship the defective  
part back to HP within a defined period of time, normally five (5) business days. The defective part must be  
returned with the associated documentation in the provided shipping material. Failure to return the defective  
part may result in HP billing you for the replacement. With a customer self repair, HP will pay all shipping  
and part return costs and determine the courier/carrier to be used.  
For more information about HP's Customer Self Repair program, contact your local service provider. For the  
North American program, refer to the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/selfrepair).  
Réparation par le client (CSR)  
Les produits HP comportent de nombreuses pièces CSR (Customer Self Repair = réparation par le client) afin  
de minimiser les délais de réparation et faciliter le remplacement des pièces défectueuses. Si pendant la  
période de diagnostic, HP (ou ses partenaires ou mainteneurs agréés) détermine que la réparation peut être  
effectuée à l'aide d'une pièce CSR, HP vous l'envoie directement. Il existe deux catégories de pièces CSR:  
Obligatoire - Pièces pour lesquelles la réparation par le client est obligatoire. Si vous demandez à HP de  
remplacer ces pièces, les coûts de déplacement et main d'Å“uvre du service vous seront facturés.  
Facultatif - Pièces pour lesquelles la réparation par le client est facultative. Ces pièces sont également  
conçues pour permettre au client d'effectuer lui-même la réparation. Toutefois, si vous demandez à HP de  
remplacer ces pièces, l'intervention peut ou non vous être facturée, selon le type de garantie applicable à  
votre produit.  
REMARQUE: Certaines pièces HP ne sont pas conçues pour permettre au client d'effectuer lui-même la  
réparation. Pour que la garantie puisse s'appliquer, HP exige que le remplacement de la pièce soit effectué  
par un Mainteneur Agréé. Ces pièces sont identifiées par la mention "Non" dans le Catalogue illustré.  
Les pièces CSR sont livrées le jour ouvré suivant, dans la limite des stocks disponibles et selon votre situation  
géographique. Si votre situation géographique le permet et que vous demandez une livraison le jour même  
ou dans les 4 heures, celle-ci vous sera facturée. Pour bénéficier d'une assistance téléphonique, appelez le  
Centre d'assistance technique HP. Dans les documents envoyés avec la pièce de rechange CSR, HP précise  
s'il est nécessaire de lui retourner la pièce défectueuse. Si c'est le cas, vous devez le faire dans le délai  
indiqué, généralement cinq (5) jours ouvrés. La pièce et sa documentation doivent être retournées dans  
l'emballage fourni. Si vous ne retournez pas la pièce défectueuse, HP se réserve le droit de vous facturer les  
coûts de remplacement. Dans le cas d'une pièce CSR, HP supporte l'ensemble des frais d'expédition et de  
retour, et détermine la société de courses ou le transporteur à utiliser.

Riparazione da parte del cliente  
Per abbreviare i tempi di riparazione e garantire una maggiore flessibilità nella sostituzione di parti  
difettose, i prodotti HP sono realizzati con numerosi componenti che possono essere riparati direttamente  
dal cliente (CSR, Customer Self Repair). Se in fase di diagnostica HP (o un centro di servizi o di assistenza  
HP) identifica il guasto come riparabile mediante un ricambio CSR, HP lo spedirà direttamente al cliente per  
la sostituzione. Vi sono due categorie di parti CSR:  
Obbligatorie – Parti che devono essere necessariamente riparate dal cliente. Se il cliente ne affida la  
riparazione ad HP, deve sostenere le spese di spedizione e di manodopera per il servizio.  
Opzionali – Parti la cui riparazione da parte del cliente è facoltativa. Si tratta comunque di componenti  
progettati per questo scopo. Se tuttavia il cliente ne richiede la sostituzione ad HP, potrebbe dover sostenere  
spese addizionali a seconda del tipo di garanzia previsto per il prodotto.  
NOTA: alcuni componenti HP non sono progettati per la riparazione da parte del cliente. Per rispettare la  
garanzia, HP richiede che queste parti siano sostituite da un centro di assistenza autorizzato. Tali parti sono  
identificate da un "No" nel Catalogo illustrato dei componenti.  
In base alla disponibilità e alla località geografica, le parti CSR vengono spedite con consegna entro il  
giorno lavorativo seguente. La consegna nel giorno stesso o entro quattro ore è offerta con un supplemento  
di costo solo in alcune zone. In caso di necessità si può richiedere l'assistenza telefonica di un addetto del  
centro di supporto tecnico HP. Nel materiale fornito con una parte di ricambio CSR, HP specifica se il cliente  
deve restituire dei componenti. Qualora sia richiesta la resa ad HP del componente difettoso, lo si deve  
spedire ad HP entro un determinato periodo di tempo, generalmente cinque (5) giorni lavorativi. Il  
componente difettoso deve essere restituito con la documentazione associata nell'imballo di spedizione  
fornito. La mancata restituzione del componente può comportare la fatturazione del ricambio da parte di HP.  
Nel caso di riparazione da parte del cliente, HP sostiene tutte le spese di spedizione e resa e sceglie il  
corriere/vettore da utilizzare.  
Per ulteriori informazioni sul programma CSR di HP contattare il centro di assistenza di zona. Per il  
programma in Nord America fare riferimento al sito Web HP (http://www.hp.com/go/selfrepair).  
Customer Self Repair  
HP Produkte enthalten viele CSR-Teile (Customer Self Repair), um Reparaturzeiten zu minimieren und höhere  
Flexibilität beim Austausch defekter Bauteile zu ermöglichen. Wenn HP (oder ein HP Servicepartner) bei der  
Diagnose feststellt, dass das Produkt mithilfe eines CSR-Teils repariert werden kann, sendet Ihnen HP dieses  
Bauteil zum Austausch direkt zu. CSR-Teile werden in zwei Kategorien unterteilt:  
Zwingend – Teile, für die das Customer Self Repair-Verfahren zwingend vorgegeben ist. Wenn Sie den  
Austausch dieser Teile von HP vornehmen lassen, werden Ihnen die Anfahrt- und Arbeitskosten für diesen  
Service berechnet.  
Optional – Teile, für die das Customer Self Repair-Verfahren optional ist. Diese Teile sind auch für Customer  
Self Repair ausgelegt. Wenn Sie jedoch den Austausch dieser Teile von HP vornehmen lassen möchten,  
können bei diesem Service je nach den für Ihr Produkt vorgesehenen Garantiebedingungen zusätzliche  
Kosten anfallen.

HINWEIS: Einige Teile sind nicht für Customer Self Repair ausgelegt. Um den Garantieanspruch des  
Kunden zu erfüllen, muss das Teil von einem HP Servicepartner ersetzt werden. Im illustrierten Teilekatalog  
sind diese Teile mit „No“ bzw. „Nein“ gekennzeichnet.  
CSR-Teile werden abhängig von der Verfügbarkeit und vom Lieferziel am folgenden Geschäftstag geliefert.  
Für bestimmte Standorte ist eine Lieferung am selben Tag oder innerhalb von vier Stunden gegen einen  
Aufpreis verfügbar. Wenn Sie Hilfe benötigen, können Sie das HP technische Support Center anrufen und  
sich von einem Mitarbeiter per Telefon helfen lassen. Den Materialien, die mit einem CSR-Ersatzteil geliefert  
werden, können Sie entnehmen, ob das defekte Teil an HP zurückgeschickt werden muss. Wenn es  
erforderlich ist, das defekte Teil an HP zurückzuschicken, müssen Sie dies innerhalb eines vorgegebenen  
Zeitraums tun, in der Regel innerhalb von fünf (5) Geschäftstagen. Das defekte Teil muss mit der zugehörigen  
Dokumentation in der Verpackung zurückgeschickt werden, die im Lieferumfang enthalten ist. Wenn Sie das  
defekte Teil nicht zurückschicken, kann HP Ihnen das Ersatzteil in Rechnung stellen. Im Falle von Customer  
Self Repair kommt HP für alle Kosten für die Lieferung und Rücksendung auf und bestimmt den  
Kurier-/Frachtdienst.

Reparaciones del propio cliente  
Los productos de HP incluyen muchos componentes que el propio usuario puede reemplazar (Customer Self  
Repair, CSR) para minimizar el tiempo de reparación y ofrecer una mayor flexibilidad a la hora de realizar  
sustituciones de componentes defectuosos. Si, durante la fase de diagnóstico, HP (o los proveedores o socios  
de servicio de HP) identifica que una reparación puede llevarse a cabo mediante el uso de un componente  
CSR, HP le enviará dicho componente directamente para que realice su sustitución. Los componentes CSR se  
clasifican en dos categorías:  
•
Obligatorio: componentes para los que la reparación por parte del usuario es obligatoria. Si solicita a  
HP que realice la sustitución de estos componentes, tendrá que hacerse cargo de los gastos de  
desplazamiento y de mano de obra de dicho servicio.  
•
Opcional: componentes para los que la reparación por parte del usuario es opcional. Estos  
componentes también están diseñados para que puedan ser reparados por el usuario. Sin embargo, si  
precisa que HP realice su sustitución, puede o no conllevar costes adicionales, dependiendo del tipo de  
servicio de garantía correspondiente al producto.  
NOTA: Algunos componentes no están diseñados para que puedan ser reparados por el usuario. Para que  
el usuario haga valer su garantía, HP pone como condición que un proveedor de servicios autorizado  
realice la sustitución de estos componentes. Dichos componentes se identifican con la palabra "No" en el  
catálogo ilustrado de componentes.  
Según la disponibilidad y la situación geográfica, los componentes CSR se enviarán para que lleguen a su  
destino al siguiente día laborable. Si la situación geográfica lo permite, se puede solicitar la entrega en el  
mismo día o en cuatro horas con un coste adicional. Si precisa asistencia técnica, puede llamar al Centro de  
asistencia técnica de HP y recibirá ayuda telefónica por parte de un técnico. Con el envío de materiales  
para la sustitución de componentes CSR, HP especificará si los componentes defectuosos deberán  
devolverse a HP. En aquellos casos en los que sea necesario devolver algún componente a HP, deberá  
hacerlo en el periodo de tiempo especificado, normalmente cinco días laborables. Los componentes  
defectuosos deberán devolverse con toda la documentación relacionada y con el embalaje de envío. Si no  
enviara el componente defectuoso requerido, HP podrá cobrarle por el de sustitución. En el caso de todas

Customer Self Repair  
Veel onderdelen in HP producten zijn door de klant zelf te repareren, waardoor de reparatieduur tot een  
minimum beperkt kan blijven en de flexibiliteit in het vervangen van defecte onderdelen groter is. Deze  
onderdelen worden CSR-onderdelen (Customer Self Repair) genoemd. Als HP (of een HP Service Partner) bij  
de diagnose vaststelt dat de reparatie kan worden uitgevoerd met een CSR-onderdeel, verzendt HP dat  
onderdeel rechtstreeks naar u, zodat u het defecte onderdeel daarmee kunt vervangen. Er zijn twee  
categorieën CSR-onderdelen:  
Verplicht: Onderdelen waarvoor reparatie door de klant verplicht is. Als u HP verzoekt deze onderdelen  
voor u te vervangen, worden u voor deze service reiskosten en arbeidsloon in rekening gebracht.  
Optioneel: Onderdelen waarvoor reparatie door de klant optioneel is. Ook deze onderdelen zijn ontworpen  
voor reparatie door de klant. Als u echter HP verzoekt deze onderdelen voor u te vervangen, kunnen  
daarvoor extra kosten in rekening worden gebracht, afhankelijk van het type garantieservice voor het  
product.  
OPMERKING: Sommige HP onderdelen zijn niet ontwikkeld voor reparatie door de klant. In verband met  
de garantievoorwaarden moet het onderdeel door een geautoriseerde Service Partner worden vervangen.  
Deze onderdelen worden in de geïllustreerde onderdelencatalogus aangemerkt met "Nee".  
Afhankelijk van de leverbaarheid en de locatie worden CSR-onderdelen verzonden voor levering op de  
eerstvolgende werkdag. Levering op dezelfde dag of binnen vier uur kan tegen meerkosten worden  
aangeboden, indien dit mogelijk is gezien de locatie. Indien assistentie gewenst is, belt u een HP Service  
Partner om via de telefoon technische ondersteuning te ontvangen. HP vermeldt in de documentatie bij het  
vervangende CSR-onderdeel of het defecte onderdeel aan HP moet worden geretourneerd. Als het defecte  
onderdeel aan HP moet worden teruggezonden, moet u het defecte onderdeel binnen een bepaalde  
periode, gewoonlijk vijf (5) werkdagen, retourneren aan HP. Het defecte onderdeel moet met de  
bijbehorende documentatie worden geretourneerd in het meegeleverde verpakkingsmateriaal. Als u het  
defecte onderdeel niet terugzendt, kan HP u voor het vervangende onderdeel kosten in rekening brengen. Bij  
reparatie door de klant betaalt HP alle verzendkosten voor het vervangende en geretourneerde onderdeel en  
kiest HP zelf welke koerier/transportonderneming hiervoor wordt gebruikt.  
Neem contact op met een Service Partner voor meer informatie over het Customer Self Repair programma  
van HP. Informatie over Service Partners vindt u op de HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/selfrepair).  
Reparo feito pelo cliente  
Os produtos da HP são projetados com muitas peças para reparo feito pelo cliente (CSR) de modo a  
minimizar o tempo de reparo e permitir maior flexibilidade na substituição de peças com defeito. Se,  
durante o período de diagnóstico, a HP (ou fornecedores/parceiros de serviço da HP) concluir que o reparo  
pode ser efetuado pelo uso de uma peça CSR, a peça de reposição será enviada diretamente ao cliente.  
Existem duas categorias de peças CSR:  
Obrigatória – Peças cujo reparo feito pelo cliente é obrigatório. Se desejar que a HP substitua essas peças,  
serão cobradas as despesas de transporte e mão-de-obra do serviço.

Opcional – Peças cujo reparo feito pelo cliente é opcional. Essas peças também são projetadas para o  
reparo feito pelo cliente. No entanto, se desejar que a HP as substitua, pode haver ou não a cobrança de  
taxa adicional, dependendo do tipo de serviço de garantia destinado ao produto.  
OBSERVAÇÃO: Algumas peças da HP não são projetadas para o reparo feito pelo cliente. A fim de  
cumprir a garantia do cliente, a HP exige que um técnico autorizado substitua a peça. Essas peças estão  
identificadas com a marca "No" (Não), no catálogo de peças ilustrado.  
Conforme a disponibilidade e o local geográfico, as peças CSR serão enviadas no primeiro dia útil após o  
pedido. Onde as condições geográficas permitirem, a entrega no mesmo dia ou em quatro horas pode ser  
feita mediante uma taxa adicional. Se precisar de auxílio, entre em contato com o Centro de suporte técnico  
da HP para que um técnico o ajude por telefone. A HP especifica nos materiais fornecidos com a peça CSR  
de reposição se a peça com defeito deve ser devolvida à HP. Nos casos em que isso for necessário, é  
preciso enviar a peça com defeito à HP dentro do período determinado, normalmente cinco (5) dias úteis.  
A peça com defeito deve ser enviada com a documentação correspondente no material de transporte  
fornecido. Caso não o faça, a HP poderá cobrar a reposição. Para as peças de reparo feito pelo cliente, a  
HP paga todas as despesas de transporte e de devolução da peça e determina a transportadora/serviço  
postal a ser utilizado.  
Para obter mais informações sobre o programa de reparo feito pelo cliente da HP, entre em contato com o  
fornecedor de serviços local. Para o programa norte-americano, visite o site da HP
