When the 120 W power adapter is connected to a server that is attached to a storage expansion unit, the system power LED flashes red. Replace the 120 W power adapter with the 180 W power adapter that shipped with the storage expansion unit option kit.

Off = No power present

If the system power LED is off, verify the following conditions:

  • Facility power is present.
  • The power adapter is connected to the server.
  • The power cord is attached to the adapter and is plugged into a power source.

When all LEDs described in this table flash simultaneously, a power fault has occurred. For more information, see the "Front panel LED power fault codes" section in the HPE ProLiant Thin Micro TM200 Server User Guide.

Server warnings and cautions

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, electric shock, or damage to the equipment, remove power from the server by removing the power cord. The front panel Power On/Standby button does not shut off system power. Portions of the power supply and some internal circuitry remain active until AC power is removed.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric, shock, fire, or damage to the equipment, only display devices that are qualified to be made of fire-retardant material must be connected to the VGA port on the rear panel.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of any serious safety issues, do not install or remove the equipment. The installation and maintenance of this equipment must be carried out by qualified or approved personnel. Refer all maintenance, upgrades, and servicing to an authorized reseller or an authorized service provider.
WARNING: 請勿任意拆裝設備。任何未經授權或認證人員之設備拆裝可能造成嚴重的安全問題。任何問題，請洽您的銷售人員或經銷商尋求協助。
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the internal system components to cool before touching them.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to electrical components, properly ground the server before beginning any installation procedure. Improper grounding can cause ESD.
CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the server with the access panel and the M.2 SSD compartment cover open or removed.
CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the server or the storage expansion unit unless all device bays are populated with either a component or a blank.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to electrical components, take the appropriate anti-static precautions before beginning any installation, removal, or replacement procedure. Improper grounding can cause electrostatic discharge.

Installing an operating system (OS)

To operate properly, the server must have a supported operating system. For information on supported operating systems, contact your authorized HPE representative.

This server supports Class 3 UEFI implementation. UEFI Class 3 implementation only supports UEFI Boot Mode; there is no support for Legacy BIOS Boot Mode. To prevent errors in installing the operating system, recognizing boot media, and other boot-related errors, observe the relevant UEFI requirements. For more information on these requirements, see Important UEFI Requirements (for HPE ProLiant Thin Micro Servers) on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.

To install an operating system on the server, use one of the following methods.

  • Manual installation – Insert the operating system disc into a USB-attached DVD-ROM drive (user provided) and reboot the server.
  • Remote deployment installation – Use Insight Control server provisioning for an automated solution to remotely deploy an operating system.

For additional system drivers, firmware, and software updates, download the Service Pack for ProLiant from the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website. Update the software and firmware before using the server for the first time, unless any installed software or components require an older version.

For more information on using these installation methods, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.

Registering for HPE remote support

HPE remote support provides automatic submission of hardware events to Hewlett Packard Enterprise to prevent downtime and enable faster issue resolution. You can register directly to Hewlett Packard Enterprise or through an Insight RS Hosting Device.
