1 Safety Instructions
If the position for installing the device is higher than your shoulders, use a stacker to lift
the device to prevent it from falling on top of you.
High-voltage power supply provides power for device operation. Do not touch highvoltage cables directly or through conductive materials. This may cause danger of
electrocution.
Do not use the ladder by yourself. Have someone else hold the ladder steady to prevent
accidents.
Do not view the open optical port directly when installing, testing, or replacing optical
cables to prevent laser radiation from injuring your eyes.
Transportation Precautions
Improper transportation may damage equipment. Contact the manufacturer for precautions
before attempting transportation.
When transporting equipment, note the following:
l
The logistics company engaged to transport the equipment must be reliable and comply
with international standards for transporting electronics. Ensure that the equipment being
transported is kept upright and avoid collision, damp conditions, corrosion, package
damage, and pollution.
Package fragile parts such as optical modules, PCIe SSDs, and GPUs separately from
bulky items such as chassis and blades.
Power off all equipment before transportation. Do not transport hazardous materials.
Use only genuine components that can be queried in the Huawei Server Compatibility
Checker.
Before expanding capacity, back up data and isolate the equipment from the network to
prevent data loss, service interruption, and network loops.

Note 2: The PCIe slots with the bus width of PCIe x16 are backward compatible with PCIe
x8, PCIe x4, and PCIe x1 cards.
Note 3: The power supply capabilities of all slots support PCIe cards of 75 W. The power
of a PCIe card depends on its model. For details about the supported PCIe cards, see
Huawei Server Compatibility Checker. For PCIe cards out of the Huawei Server
Compatibility Checker, contact your local Huawei sales personnel.
Note 4: Table 2-1 lists the default values of B/D/F. If CPUs are not in full configuration or
a PCIe card with a PCI bridge is configured, the values of B/D/F may differ.
Note 5: For a server with NVMe PCIe SSDs, a 2-slot riser module must be installed on I/O
module 2 and an NVMe PCIe SSD adapter can be installed only in slot 7.
A 2-slot PCIe riser module supports a maximum of two single-slot PCIe x16 GPUs
(bandwidth of one GPU: x8) or one dual-slot PCIe x16 GPU.
ESNs
An Equipment Serial Number (ESN) is a string that uniquely identifies a server. An ESN is
required when you apply for technical support to Huawei.
Figure 2-16 shows the ESN format by using the example 2102310QPD10F3001263.

If the cables cannot be identified by their labels, attach engineering labels to distinguish
different types of cables.
Cables must be protected from burrs, cooling fins, and active accessories, which may
damage the insulation layers of cables.

RH2288H V3 Server
User Guide
Do not connect two or more cable ties together for binding cables. After cables are
bound using cable ties, cut the excessive part off and ensure that the cuts are neat and
smooth.
Cables must be properly routed, supported, or fixed within the cable trough inside the
cabinet. This prevents excessive stress on the cables or wiring terminals, loose
connections, and damage to the cable insulation layer.
Surplus cable lengths must be rolled up and bound in a suitable position inside the
cabinet.
Cables are bound properly within a cabinet. The bending radius of a cable varies
according to the cable installation position.
If you need to bend a cable in its middle, the bending radius must be at least twice
the diameter of the cable.
If you need to bend a cable at the output terminal of a connector, the bending radius
must be at least five times the cable diameter, and the cable must be bound before
bending.
Do not use cable ties at a place where the cables are bent. Otherwise, the cables
may break.
Determine overhead cabling and underfloor cabling for power cables based on specific
conditions of the equipment room. For example, consider the AC power distribution
frame (PDF), surge protector, and terminal block.
Determine overhead cabling and underfloor cabling for service data cables based on
specific conditions of the equipment room.
Place the connectors of all service Ethernet cables at the bottom of the cabinet in order so
that the connectors are difficult to reach.
Ensure that high-density cables are not bound in crossover mode. This helps you
identify, insert, or remove a server.
NOTICE
To ensure optimal heat dissipation, do not block the air exhaust vents of PSUs.
CAUTION
Before verifying cable connections, ensure that the power is off. Any incorrect or loose
connection may cause personal injury or device damage.

6.1 BIOS
The basic input/output system (BIOS) is basic software code loaded to the computer hardware
system. The BIOS is running at the abstraction layer between the computer hardware system
and the OS. It is used to configure hardware to prepare for running the OS. Figure 6-1 shows
the BIOS position in the system.
The BIOS performs power-on self-test (POST), detects input/output devices, identifies boot
devices, and initializes memory. The BIOS also provides advanced configuration and power
interface (ACPI) and hot swap. The BIOS is stored in the serial peripheral interface (SPI)
flash memory.
The RH2288H V3 server offers a Huawei's proprietary, patented BIOS that uses the Intel
Grantley platform and is developed based on the Insyde code base. The BIOS is customizable
and scalable, and provides a variety of in-band and out-of-band configuration functions.

check the status of the NVMe PCIe SSD in the OS.
NOTE
The time required for powering on NVMe PCIe SSDs varies according to vendors due to different
development schemes.
OS installation description
When installing Windows Server 2012 on an NVMe PCIe SSD, you need to load
the NVMe PCIe SSD driver for the system to detect NVMe PCIe SSDs before
proceeding with OS installation. When installing other compatible OSs on NVMe
PCIe SSDs, the NVMe PCIe SSD driver is installed along with the OS.
The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) mode is required when you
install an OS on an NVMe PCIe SSD.
Press Del upon server startup to access the BIOS. (The default password is
Huawei12#$.)
Open the boot configuration screen and set Boot Type to UEFI Boot Type.
Download the NVMe PCIe SSD driver for Windows Server 2012, and generate a
DVD ISO file or floppy disk IMG file.
Install the OS. If the NVMe PCIe SSD cannot be detected when the system scans
for the target installation device, mount the NVMe PCIe SSD driver file by using
the virtual DVD or floppy disk drive (FDD) on the iBMC WebUI.
Load the NVMe PCIe SSD driver on the installation UI. After the NVMe PCIe SSD
is detected, proceed with the OS installation.
