This server supports both VGA port and DisplayPort 1.1a. Before connecting a display device to this server, review the following
information:
Whenever possible, use the same display connection type. For example, if your PC or monitor only has a VGA output, connect it to the
server VGA port. Use of any kind of adapter or converter cable or dongle might lead to decreased display quality or a lag over the
connection.
DisplayPort connection: When connecting an HDMI or DVI display to the DisplayPort, use an active type adapter. Passive type adapter—
marked with the DP++ symbol—is not supported.
Display output modes:

If you connect two display devices to the VGA port and DisplayPort, the same image is shown on both devices—screen mirroring
mode.
The embedded video controller in the iLO 6 chipset does not support dual display or screen extension mode. To enable dual display
mode, install a compatible PCIe4 x8 graphics card that supports this feature in the expansion slot.

The Trusted Platform Module 2.0 (TPM) is a hardware-based system security feature that securely stores artifacts used to authenticate the
platform. These artifacts can include passwords, certificates, and encryption keys.
The TPM 2.0 is embedded on the server system board.
The TPM 2.0 is supported with specific operating system support such as Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 and later. For more
information about operating system support, see the product QuickSpecs on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website
(https://www.hpe.com/info/qs). For more information about Microsoft Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption feature, see the Microsoft
website (https://www.microsoft.com).
Subtopics
CAUTION:
Always observe the TPM guidelines in this section. Failure to follow these guidelines can cause hardware damage or
halt data access.
If you do not follow procedures for modifying the server and suspending or disabling the TPM in the OS, an OS that is
using TPM might lock all data access. This includes updating system or option firmware, replacing hardware such as the
system board and drives, and modifying TPM OS settings.
Changing the TPM mode after installing an OS might cause problems, including loss of data.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise SPECIAL REMINDER: Before enabling TPM functionality on this system, you must ensure that your intended use
of TPM complies with relevant local laws, regulations and policies, and approvals or licenses must be obtained if applicable.
When the embedded TPM is enabled:
In UEFI boot mode, the Trusted Platform Module operates in TPM 2.0 mode.
In legacy boot mode, the Trusted Platform Module operation is not supported.
Use the UEFI System Utilities to configure the TPM. From the System Utilities screen, select System Configuration > BIOS/Platform
Configuration (RBSU) > Server Security > Trusted Platform Module options. For more information, see the UEFI user guide:
https://www.hpe.com/support/UEFIGen11-UG-en
When using the Microsoft Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption feature, always retain the recovery key or password. The recovery key or
password is required to enter Recovery Mode after BitLocker detects a possible compromise of system integrity.
HPE is not liable for blocked data access caused by improper TPM use. For operating instructions, see the documentation for the
encryption technology feature provided by the operating system.

The recovery key/password is generated during BitLocker setup, and can be saved and printed after BitLocker is enabled. 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.
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.
Do not save the recovery key/password on an encrypted drive.

Intel VROC support

Intel Virtual RAID on CPU (Intel VROC) provides enterprise-level hybrid RAID support. Note the following information:
Intel VROC provides RAID support for direct attached SATA SSDs.
The Intel VROC driver is required. For the OS-specific driver download, see the following page:
https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=sd00002239en_us&page=GUID-249FA246-0985-4598-8D7E-

94069560F959.html
Intel VROC requires the server boot mode to be set to UEFI Mode.
Intel VROC RAID support is disabled by default. In the pre-OS environment, use UEFI System Utilities to enable Intel VROC and create a
VROC RAID volume. These tasks are not supported in Intelligent Provisioning.
The VROC RAID volume must use drives of the same interface and form factor.
Intel VROC supports RAID management though the following tools:

Non-OS specific: UEFI System Utilities
Windows: Intel VROC GUI, Intel VROC CLI
Linux: mdadm CLI
For more information on Intel VROC features and configuration, see Configuring storage controllers.

When preparing the site and planning the installation for the HPE ProLiant ML30 Gen11 Server, be sure to observe the following general
operational requirements:
Power requirements
For server-specific environmental requirements, see Environmental specifications.
Subtopics
Power requirements

To allow for servicing and adequate airflow, observe the following space and airflow requirements when installing the server in an indoor
commercial rack:
63.50 cm (25.00 in) in front of the rack
76.20 cm (30.00 in) behind the rack
121.90 cm (48.00 in) from the back of the rack to the back of another rack or row of racks
Observe the following additional airflow requirements:
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.
To prevent improper cooling and damage to the equipment, do not block the ventilation openings.
When the 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. Using a rack without
blanking panels results in improper cooling which can lead to thermal damage.
If a third-party rack is used, observe the following additional requirements to ensure adequate airflow and 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 7.00 cm (2.75 in).
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.

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, 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, Hewlett Packard
Enterprise 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.
WARNING:
When all components are removed, the server weighs 10.20 kg (22.5 lb). When all components are installed, the server can
weigh up to 18.70 kg (41.20 lb).
Before configuring your rack solution, be sure to check the rack manufacturer weight limits and specifications. Failure to do
so can result in physical injury or damage to the equipment and the facility.
WARNING:
The server is heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, do the following:
Observe local occupational health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual material handling.
Get help to lift and stabilize the product during installation or removal, especially when the product is not fastened to
the rails. The server weighs more than 10.20 kg (22.5 lb), so at least two people must lift the server into the rack
together. An additional person may be required to help align the server if the server is installed higher than chest level.
Use caution when installing the server in or removing the server from the rack.
Adequately stabilized the rack before extending a component outside the rack. Extend only one component at a time. A
rack may become unstable if more than one component is extended.
Do not stack anything on top of rail-mounted component or use it as a work surface when extended from the rack.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, observe the following precautions:
The leveling jacks are extended to the floor.
The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks.
The stabilizing feet are attached to the rack if it is a single-rack installation.
The racks are coupled together in multiple-rack installations.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage when unloading a rack:
At least two people are needed to safely unload the rack from the pallet. An empty 42U rack can weigh as much as 115
kg (253 lb), can stand more than 2.1 m (7 ft) tall, and might become unstable when being moved on its casters.
Never stand in front of the rack when it is rolling down the ramp from the pallet. Always handle the rack from both
sides.

CAUTION:
Always plan the rack installation so that the heaviest item is on the bottom of the rack. Install the heaviest item first, and
continue to populate the rack from the bottom to the top.
CAUTION:
Before installing the server in a rack, be sure to properly scope the limitations of the rack. Before proceeding with the
installation, consider the following:
You must fully understand the static and dynamic load carrying capacity of the rack and be sure that it can
accommodate the weight of the server.
Be sure sufficient clearance exists for cabling, installation and removal of the server, and movement of the rack doors.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury, electric shock, or damage to the equipment, disconnect the power cord to remove
power from the server. Pressing the Power On/Standby button does not shut off system power completely. Portions of the
power supply and some internal circuitry remain active until AC power is removed.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the internal system components to
cool before touching them.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire or burns after removing the energy pack:
Do not disassemble, crush, or puncture the energy pack.
Do not short external contacts.
Do not dispose of the energy pack in fire or water.
Do not expose the energy pack to low air pressure as it might lead to explosion or leakage of flammable liquid or gas.
Do not expose the energy pack to temperatures higher than 60°C (140°F).
After power is disconnected, battery voltage might still be present for 1s to 160s.
CAUTION:
Protect the server from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a regulating UPS. This device protects the
hardware from damage caused by power surges and voltage spikes and keeps the server in operation during a power
failure.
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to electrical components, properly ground the server before beginning any installation, removal, or
replacement procedure. Improper grounding can cause electrostatic discharge.
CAUTION:
To avoid data loss, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that you back up all server data before installing or removing
a hardware option, or performing a server maintenance or troubleshooting procedure.
CAUTION: Do not operate the server for long periods with the access panel open or removed. Operating the server in this
manner results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.

Be aware of the precautions you must follow when setting up the system or handling components. 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 system or component.
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. 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.

Cabling guidelines
Observe the following:
Some diagrams show alphabetical callouts A, B, C, etc. These callouts correspond to labels near the connectors on the cable.
The cable colors in the cabling diagrams used in this chapter are for illustration purposes only.
Observe all guidelines when working with server cables.
Before connecting cables

Note the port labels on the PCA components. Not all these components are used by all servers:
System board ports
Drive and power supply backplane ports
Expansion board ports (controllers, adapters, expanders, risers, and similar boards)
Note the label near each cable connector. This label indicates the destination port for the cable connector.
Some data cables are prebent. Do not unbend or manipulate the cables.
To prevent mechanical damage or depositing oil that is present on your hands, and other contamination, do not touch the ends of the
connectors.
When connecting cables

Before connecting a cable to a port, lay the cable in place to verify the length of the cable.
Use the internal cable management features to properly route and secure the cables.
When routing cables, be sure that the cables are not in a position where they can be pinched or crimped.
Avoid tight bend radii to prevent damaging the internal wires of a power cord or a server cable. Never bend power cords and server
cables tight enough to cause a crease in the sheathing.
Make sure that the excess length of cables is properly secured to avoid excess bends, interference issues, and airflow restriction.
To prevent component damage and potential signal interference, make sure that all cables are in their appropriate routing position
before installing a new component and before closing up the server after hardware installation/maintenance.
When disconnecting cables

Grip the body of the cable connector. Do not pull on the cable itself because this action can damage the internal wires of the cable or the
pins on the port.
If a cable does not disconnect easily, check for any release latch that must be pressed to disconnect the cable.

Remove cables that are no longer being used. Retaining them inside the server can restrict airflow. If you intend to use the removed
cables later, label and store them for future use.

Troubleshooting
Subtopics
NMI functionality
NMI functionality
An NMI crash dump enables administrators to create crash dump files when a system is not responding to traditional debugging methods.
An analysis of the crash dump log is an essential part of diagnosing reliability problems, such as hanging operating systems, device drivers,
and applications. Many crashes freeze a system, and the only available action for administrators is to cycle the system power. Resetting the
system erases any information that could support problem analysis, but the NMI feature preserves that information by performing a
memory dump before a hard reset.
To force the OS to initiate the NMI handler and generate a crash dump log, the administrator can use the iLO Generate NMI feature.
Troubleshooting resources are available for HPE Gen11 server products in the following documents:
Troubleshooting Guide for HPE ProLiant Gen11 servers provides procedures for resolving common problems and comprehensive
courses of action for fault isolation and identification, issue resolution, and software maintenance.
Integrated Management Log Messages and Troubleshooting Guide for HPE ProLiant Gen11 servers and HPE Synergy provides IML
messages and associated troubleshooting information to resolve critical and cautionary IML events.
To access troubleshooting resources for your product, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website .
System battery replacement

If the server no longer automatically displays the correct date and time, then replace the battery that provides power to the real-time clock.
Under normal use, battery life is 5–10 years.
Subtopics

The server contains an internal lithium manganese dioxide, a vanadium pentoxide, or an alkaline battery that provides power to the real-
time clock.
WARNING: If this battery is not properly handled, a risk of fire or burning exists. To reduce the risk of personal injury:
Do not attempt to recharge the battery.
Do not expose the battery to temperatures higher than 60°C (140°F).
Do not expose the battery to low air pressure as it might lead to explosion or leakage of flammable liquid or gas.
Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts, or dispose of the battery in fire or water.

About this task
IMPORTANT: After replacing the system battery and applying power, wait for 10 minutes before powering on the server.
This lead time is required for the server to reset and reinitialize the iLO configuration settings stored in SRAM.
Procedure

7. Locate the battery on the system board .
8. If an expansion card is installed on expansion slots 1 and 2, remove the card.
9. Remove the system battery:
a. Use a small flat-bladed, nonconductive tool to press the battery latch.

b. Remove the system battery from the socket.
10. Install the system battery:
a. With the side of the battery showing the "+" sign facing up, insert the battery into the socket.
b. Press the system battery down until it clicks into place.
11. If removed, install the air baffle .
Orient the server back in tower mode.

17. Wait for 10 minutes for the server to reset and reinitialize the iLO configuration settings stored in SRAM.
IMPORTANT: If iLO security is disabled, the configuration will not be restored. To restore the configuration manually,
see https://www.hpe.com/support/ilo6.
19. Properly dispose of the old battery.
For more information about proper battery disposal, contact an authorized reseller or an authorized service provider.
