Service and Support

For increased uptime, productivity and ROI - HP Care Pack packaged services for Servers

These days, you need to get the most out of your server investment - you can't afford not to. When you buy HP server products and solutions, it's also a good time to think about what levels of service and support you may need. To help take the worry out of deploying, designing, maintaining, and managing your environment, we've designed a portfolio of service options that are as: flexible, reliable and scalable as your server. Unlike server-only vendors, we take a holistic approach to your entire environment, bridging storage, servers, blades, software and network infrastructures with our HP Care Pack packaged services for Servers.

Protect your business beyond the warranty

When it comes to robustness and reliability, standard warranties on today's computing equipment have matured just as the technologies have matured. Good news on some fronts - but also a source of potential problems and subsequent consequences that come from depending on standard warranties alone. Standard warranty protects against product defects and some causes of downtime - but not the business. By using a standard approach to warranty uplifts, such as HP Care Pack Services, you can reduce downtime risks and be more certain of operational consistency for both mission-critical and standard business computing. Simply put, HP Care Pack Services normalize the warranty of combined products - helping you proactively guard against unplanned downtime.

Extending warranties with HP Care Pack Services

For cost-effective upgrading or extending your standard warranty, HP Care Pack Services offer a suite of standard reactive hardware and software support services that are sold separately, or combined as with our Support Plus and Support Plus 24 services. The portfolio also provides a combination of proactive and reactive services, such as Proactive 24 Service and Critical Service. In addition, with HP Proactive Select we offer an innovative approach to service delivery that gives you the flexibility to acquire the specific proactive services you need today, then add services as your needs evolve. HP Proactive Select offers a broad set of technical or per-event type service options - including server, storage, and network, SAN device, and software, environment, installation and education services. Services that you can mix and match depending on your specific requirements, from preliminary planning and equipment delivery to installation, configuration, integration, and testing, through every level of ongoing support. Our HP Care Pack packaged services for Servers assures help when you need it most. And for many products, post-warranty HP Care Pack Services are available when your original warranty has expired.

HP Server Services: Offering reliability, flexibility and value - just like your storage

HP Server Services offers a full spectrum of customer care, from technology support to complex migrations to complete completely managed services. HP Factory Express provides customization, integration and deployment services for turnkey solutions. HP Education offers flexible, comprehensive training on server networking and server software to help your IT staff get the most out of your investments. And HP Financial solutions extend innovative financing and asset management programs to cost-effective buy, manage and eventually retire your older equipment.

HP Server Services, the trusted business technology experts who manage your technology in action, because when technology works, business works. https://www.hp.com/services/servers, https://www.hp.com/services/storage

NOTE: The ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) feature allows for the configuring of a FlexFabric Adapter to any of the supported protocols. For example iSCSI to FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet). Note that a HP Virtual Connect profile takes precedence over the setting in this menu. Also, some FlexFabric Adapters may require that network boot be enabled in order to configure the protocol. If the protocol is configured without enabling network boot with certain FlexFabric Adapters, the protocol may not take effect. Once the protocol has taken effect on the first boot after configuring this option, network boot may be disabled if desired.

Memory

NOTE: Memory configurations listed do not apply to "Factory Integrated Models".

DDR3 Memory Population Guidelines

For detailed memory configuration rules and guidelines, please use the Online DDR3 Memory Configuration Tool:
www.hp.com/go/ddr3memory-configurator

Some DIMM installation guidelines are summarized below:

  • For the HP ProLiant BL685c G7 server blade with thirty-two (32) memory slots:
    • There are four (4) channels per processor; sixteen (16) channels per server
    • There are two (2) DIMM slots for each memory channel; thirty-two (32) total slots.
    • Memory channel 1 consists of the two (2) DIMMs that are furthest from the processor
    • Memory channel 4 consists of the two (2) DIMMs that are closest from the processor
  • A minimum of two (2) DIMMs per processor are required
  • DIMM slots that are white should be populated first
  • Do not install DIMMs if the corresponding processor is not installed
  • If only two (2) processors are installed in a four (4) CPU system, only half of the DIMM slots are available
  • To maximize performance, balance the total memory capacity between all installed processors
  • To maximize performance, balance the total memory capacity on any given processor across the memory channels
  • You may only have up to eight (8) ranks installed per channel
  • You may install up to two (2) quad-rank DIMMs per channel
  • If mixing DIMM voltage is a requirement, please note that the DIMMs will run at 1.5V since all 1.35V are capable of supporting 1.5V operations
  • When running virtualization software, a minimum of two (2) DIMMs per processor are required. Populate DIMM sockets 1A and 5B for each processor socket populated.

2 DIMM Per Channel 1333 1333 1333 1333 1066 N/A N/A

NOTES:

  • PC3-10600 DIMMs have a maximum speed of 1333MHz. PC3-8500 DIMMs have a maximum speed of 1066MHz.
  • If you do mix DIMM speeds, the memory bus will default to the minimum clock rate of all DIMMs in the system - even if the slower DIMM is on the other processor
  • If you install 1x 1066MHz DIMM in channel 1 and 1x 1333MHz DIMM in channel 2, the maximum speed will be 1066MHz
  • If you install 1x 1066MHz DIMM in channel 1 and 7x 1333MHz DIMMs with 1 DIMM Per Channel (DPC) in each of the other channels, the maximum speed will be 1066MHz
  • References to the above MHz speeds are for the various speeds of DDR3 DIMMs; 1333 refers to DDR3-1333, etc.
  • 3DPC: LV runs at 800/Std voltage runs at 1066
