3. It-Tħaddim tas-Server

3.1 Tixgħel/Jitfi

• To power on, press the power button on the front panel.
• To power off, perform a graceful shutdown through the operating system. For a forced shutdown, press and hold the power button for several seconds.

3.2 Installazzjoni tas-Sistema Operattiva

The server supports various operating systems. You can install an OS via a bootable USB drive, network installation, or an optical drive (if an ODD option is installed). Access the server's BIOS/UEFI settings during boot to configure boot order and other system parameters.

3.3 Remote Management (HPE iLO)

The HPE ProLiant DL325 Gen10 server includes HPE iLO (Integrated Lights-Out) for remote server management. Connect the iLO dedicated network port to your management network. Access the iLO web interface permezz ta' a web browser to monitor server health, perform remote power operations, and manage virtual media.

4. Manutenzjoni

4.1 Kontrolli regolari

• Periodically check the server's physical connections, including power cables, network cables, and internal component connections.
• Monitor server health indicators, such as front panel LEDs and iLO status, for any warnings or errors.
• Ensure adequate airflow around and through the server to prevent overheating.

4.2 Aġġornamenti tal-Firmware u s-Softwer

Regularly update the server's firmware (BIOS, iLO, RAID controller, network adapters) and operating system software to ensure optimal performance, stability, and security. Visit the Hewlett Packard Enterprise support websit għall-aħħar aġġornamenti.

4.3 Tindif

Keep the server and its environment clean. Dust accumulation can impede airflow and lead to overheating. Use compressed air to gently clean dust from fans and vents. Ensure the server is powered off and disconnected from power before cleaning.

5 Issolvi l-problemi

This section provides guidance for common issues. For more complex problems, consult the comprehensive HPE ProLiant DL325 Gen10 documentation or contact HPE support.

5.1 Kwistjonijiet tal-Enerġija

• Server does not power on: Verify power cords are securely connected to both the server and the power source. Check power supply unit LEDs. Ensure the power button is functioning.
• Unexpected shutdowns: Check for overheating (server fans running at high speed, unusual heat from exhaust). Review iLO event logs for critical errors or power supply failures.

5.2 Boot and Operating System Issues

• Server does not boot: Check the boot order in BIOS/UEFI settings. Verify that the boot drive is properly connected and detected.
• Operating system errors: Consult the operating system's documentation for specific error messages. Consider reinstalling the OS if software corruption is suspected.

5.3 Problemi ta' Konnettività tan-Netwerk

• L-ebda konnessjoni man-netwerk: Verify Ethernet cables are securely connected to the server's network ports and the network switch/router. Check network adapter status LEDs. Confirm network configuration within the operating system.

5.4 Storbju tal-Fann

The HPE ProLiant DL325 Gen10 server, especially in a 1U form factor, can produce significant fan noise, particularly during power-on or under heavy load. This is often a characteristic of high-performance servers designed for optimal cooling in dense environments and may not indicate a fault. Ensure the server is in a suitable environment where noise levels are acceptable or can be mitigated.
