Before you begin

XCS version 11001000 and later supports HP

P6350/P6550 EVAs with 2- or 4-GB DIMMs and large

capacity batteries. Upgrade kits are available that

include batteries, DIMMs, and an ABM. If you are

upgrading an HP P6300 to P6350 or an HP P6500

to P6550, HP recommends that you install an upgrade

kit. Because you must install the replacement

components in a specific order and the array must be

shutdown, follow the procedure in HP P6000 EVA

Upgrade Instructions — P6300 to P6350 or P6500

to P6550.

Observe the following precautions when replacing the

cache DIMMs on a controller.

CAUTION: HP recommends that you perform

the replacement procedure within seven minutes.

Ensure all necessary parts are available so the

procedure can be completed without

interruption. Removing a controller module

significantly changes the air flow within the

enclosure. Both controllers must be installed for

the enclosure to cool properly. If a controller

fails, leave it in place in the enclosure until a

new module is available to install. The enclosure

could shut down due to overheating unless the

controller is replaced within the recommended

seven minutes.

Parts can be damaged by electrostatic

discharge. Use proper antistatic protection. See

to the documentation that shipped with your

system for additional information.
