1-4 Compaq ProLiant DL580 Server Setup and Installation Guide
PCI Hot Plug Capability
PCI Hot Plug capability provides the ability to remove and replace, upgrade,
and add PCI expansion boards without having to take the server offline.
Although any PCI board can be placed into a PCI Hot Plug slot, PCI Hot Plug
drivers and operating system support are required to enable PCI Hot Plug
capabilities.
The PCI Hot Plug push button allows hot access directly at each PCI slot
without requiring the PCI Hot Plug utility software. PCI Hot Plug events can
be initiated either from the button or from the software utility.
For more information about PCI Hot Plug capabilities, refer to the
Documentation CD and the Systems Reference CD, both included in the
Reference Information pack with your server.
Hot-Plug System Fans
Compaq ProLiant DL580 servers include hot-plug fans that provide 24 x 7
protection against overheating and heat-related system interruptions.
Under normal operating conditions, the system is served by four dual-fan units
and stays cool with at least seven fans running. A single fan failure does not
affect system performance or slow user access to network applications. When
the administrator receives notification from the system that one fan has failed,
replacement of the failed component can be completed without disruption to
system functioning or unnecessary downtime for network users.

Server Features 1-9
Power Supply Units
Compaq ProLiant DL580 servers ship standard with at least one hot-plug
power supply (450 w at 220/110V) and support for an optional, redundant
hot-plug power supply to provide system-wide backup power and the ability to
balance power demands throughout the system.
Advanced power capabilities include:
I Automatic line-sensing capability that replaces manual voltage selection
I Power-down management feature that moves the system into Standby
mode cleanly and quickly
NOTE: System power utilities are provided on the Compaq Support Software for
Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 diskettes (NTSSD). For more detailed information, refer to the
NTREADME.HLP file on Diskette 1. Future operating system support is planned for later
release.
System Power Supply Management Guidelines
Consider the following energy usage comparisons when you configure your
ProLiant DL580 server. Different configurations have specific benefits and
shortcomings including:
I 3.3V-powered PCI expansion boards versus 512 MB of ECC SDRAM
memory
Each additional 512 MB of memory draws approximately as much
current as a single PCI board.
I 5V-powered PCI expansion boards versus standard SCSI hard drive
One PCI card draws as much current as at least two hard drives.
I 5V-powered PCI expansion boards versus PCI network interface
controller (NIC)
In general, PCI array controllers draw more current than PCI NICs.
NOTE: The following guidelines are general. Use the Power Supply Viewer Utility and
option documentation to obtain the most accurate power capacity and assessment of
power margin.

1-10 Compaq ProLiant DL580 Server Setup and Installation Guide
Memory Board Features
Compaq ProLiant DL580 servers are shipped with one sixteen-slot memory
board populated with a minimum of 512 MB ECC SDRAM. Features include:

populated with four DIMM modules. Compaq ProLiant DL580 servers
allow for multi-bit error detection at the memory bank level.
I Although DIMM modules must be matched for size, type, and speed
within a four-slot bank, the size may vary from bank to bank.
