COMPAQ CONFIDENTIAL - NEED TO KNOW REQUIRED
Interlock System
The ProLiant 5500 and 5500R server is not equipped with chassis interlocks;
the board interlocks provided connect the memory board, processors, and
peripheral board (including the power switch cable) in one interlock chain.
When one of the connected components in the interlock chain is improperly
seated in the connector, the LED associated with the fault origination point will
illuminate.
WARNING: Care must be exercised when the hood or side
covers are removed because the system does not shut down
automatically.
The Compaq ProLiant 5500 and 5500R server interlock system prevents power
distribution throughout the system if the memory board, processors, or
peripheral board (including the power switch cable) are not fully installed or
properly seated.
WARNING: Tooled access is required. Repair should be
performed only by trained service providers who are qualified in
servicing computer equipment and in dealing with products
capable of producing hazardous energy levels.
WARNING: Care must be exercised when the hood or side
covers are removed because the system does not shut down
automatically.
IMPORTANT: This server is not equipped with chassis interlocks. There are
board interlocks that connect the memory board, processors, peripheral
board, and power switch cable into one interlock chain.
When one of the connected components in the interlock chain is improperly
seated in the connector, the LED associated with the fault origination point will
illuminate. See Table 4-5 and Figure 4-14 for details regarding the interlock
error.
