xi
Any surface or area of the equipment marked with these
symbols indicates the presence of a hot surface or hot
component. If this surface is contacted, the potential for injury
exists.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from a hot component,
allow the surface to cool before touching.
Power Supplies or Systems marked with these symbols
indicate the equipment is supplied by multiple sources of
power.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from electrical
shock, remove all power cords to completely disconnect
power from the system.
Rack Stability
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the
! equipment, be sure that the leveling jacks extend to the floor and that the
full weight of the rack rests on the floor. Each rack should be level and
stable. Install stabilizing feet on a single rack or join multiple racks
together before starting work.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to
! equipment, heed all warnings and cautions throughout the installation
instructions. Because the rack allows you to stack computer components
on a vertical rather than a horizontal plane, you must take precautions to
provide for rack stability and safety.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the
! equipment, always install the heaviest items in the bottom of the rack and
load the rack from the bottom up. This makes the rack bottom-heavy and
helps prevent the rack from becoming unstable.
See "Configuration Rules" in the Rack Planning and Installation Guide for
the rules that govern the vertical placement of rack-mounted components.
This information is also included in the Rack Builder. Both of these are
available on the Web site at www.compaq.com.

xii About This Guide
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, always ensure that the
! rack is adequately stabilized before extending a component outside the
rack. Extend only one component at a time. The rack may become
unstable if more than one component is extended for any reason.

1-12 Compaq ProLiant 1850R Features
Default Configuration
When the system is first powered on, the system ROM detects the unconfigured
state of the hardware and provides default configuration settings for most
devices. By providing this initialization the system can run Diagnostics and
other software applications before running the normal SmartStart and System
Configuration programs.
NOTE: If you format and partitian your boot drive before running SmartStart
and the System Configuration programs this may prohibit creating a System
Partition and using the management features that it provides.
As part of the default configuration process you are prompted for your intended
installation Operating System. On subsequent re-boots you may change your
Operating System selection if you entered a wrong choice.
An information message indicating that you are running with a default
configuration occurs each time you boot the system until you run the System
Configuration program.
Compaq SmartStart
Compaq SmartStart, which is located on the Compaq SmartStart and Support
Software CD, is the intelligent way to configure your Compaq server with
major operating system software. SmartStart helps you achieve a well-
integrated server that ensures maximum managability and dependability. For
further information about configuration, see Chapter 5, "Server Configuration
and Utilities."
Server Management
The Server Parameter Tracking utility provides timely server
s
environment and subsystem information by using a combination of
hardware, firmware, and industry-standard management software.
Information provided by this utility includes fault, performance, and
configuration status.
