About This Guide
This guide is designed to be used as step-by-step instructions for installation
and as a reference for operation, troubleshooting, and future upgrades. The
chapters are written in a logical sequence to expedite first-time installation. An
overview of the chapters follows.
The ProLiant DL320 server contains unique features and options, as well as
software to enhance configuration and operation. To appreciate the server’s
capabilities, see Chapter 1, “Server Features.”
Before beginning the server installation, you must choose an appropriate
location in which to install your ProLiant DL320 server and install your
internal options. See Chapter 2, “Planning the Server Installation,”and
Chapter 3, “Installing Hardware Options.”
Installing your ProLiant DL320 server into a Compaq rack with standard rack
management hardware requires the installation of the cable support bracket.
See Chapter 4, “Installing the Server.”
In Chapter 5, “Cabling Guidelines,”you can identify all of the standard
cabling configurations and learn about optional internal and external cabling
configurations for the ProLiant DL320.
Configuring your ProLiant DL320 server for the first time is made easier with
utilities on the Compaq SmartStart and Support Software CD. The SmartStart
utility can assist you by installing drivers for hardware and operating systems.
See Chapter 6, “Server Configuration and Utilities.”
Compaq’s standard management software includes the Integrated Management
Log (IML) that records diagnostic information. Review the capabilities and
functions of this software feature in Chapter 7, “Integrated Management Log.”

To prevent hardware damage and loss of data, the ProLiant DL320 server is
designed to operate only when all components are functioning properly. The
server generates event messages and/or suspends operation if a component
becomes degraded from wear or becomes unseated from its connection.
Appendix E, “Troubleshooting,”helps you determine the source of the error
and suggests steps to remedy the situation.
The appendices at the end of this guide provide supplementary and reference
information, such as regulatory notices, guidelines for preventing electrostatic
damage to components, server-specific error messages you may encounter
when operating this server, explanations of LED indicators and switches,
troubleshooting techniques for easily pinpointing any problems encountered
during operation, operating specfiications, and battery replacement for the
ProLiant DL320 server.
