5 Installing Additional Memory Introduction This chapter includes guidelines and instructions for: • Removing and reinstalling a HP NetServer LXr Pro 8000 memory board for a memory upgrade • Installing DIMMs in the specified configuration s on the memory board • Removing DIMMs and downsizing the memory configuration Figure 5-1.
Chapter 5 Installing Additional Memory Memory Configuration Guidelines The HP NetServer is equipped with two memory boards. You remove and insert the board through the front of the server. The boards sit horizontally in two side-by-side bays, and plug into connectors on the server’s midplane board. Each memory board supports four-way interleaving between its own DIMMs. There can also be board-to-board interleaving if both boards are populated identically.
Chapter 5 NOTE Installing Additional Memory Keep both memory boards in the HP NetServer during operation, even if the secondary board has no DIMMs. The empty board acts as a terminator for the memory board slot. A memory board has 16 DIMM sockets and accepts 64 MB or 256 MB buffered EDO DIMMs (50 ns). Each board has a maximum capacity of 4096 MB when fully populated with 256 MB DIMMs. The minimum memory configuration is four 64 MB DIMMs on the main memory board (in slots J1, J2, J3, and J4).

Chapter 6 Installing Additional Boards PCI Hot Plug Support The four slots that support PCI Hot Plug operations, P7 through P10, are called the PCI Hot Plug slots. They support 32-bit and 64-bit cards, with or without PCI Hot Plug drivers. NOS Support for PCI Hot Plug The PCI Hot Plug feature is only operational in a Hot Plug slot if the network operating system (NOS) supports PCI Hot Plug, and if the board in the slot has PCI Hot Plug device drivers.
Chapter 6 Installing Additional Boards CAUTION The Hot Plug board bracket must be in place for all boards, even those that do not support PCI Hot Plug. Removing the bracket cuts power to the slot. • A PCI Hot Plug access panel in the top of the HP NetServer which provides access to the PCI Hot Plug slots even when the server is operating. • Indicator LEDs next to each PCI Hot Plug slot on the I/O baseboard.
Chapter 6 Installing Additional Boards Tools Required These tools are required for removal and installation of accessories: • T-15 Torx driver • An anti-static service kit (3M 8501/8502/8503 or equivalent). This kit includes a static-dissipating work surface, a chassis clip lead, and a wrist strap. Installing Boards NOTE Some full-length PCI boards have a plastic "handle" (board extender) on one end.
Chapter 6 Installing Additional Boards 3. Press the power switch on the HP NetServer’s control panel when prompted by the operating system. Normally, this is the complete procedure. NOTE The power supplies will continue to provide standby current to the NetServer until the power cable is disconnected. 4. Disconnect the power cord and signal cables, and if necessary, label them to support reassembly. 5. Pull the server out from the rack on its slides. Then remove the top cover.
Chapter 6 Installing Additional Boards 7. Consider the HP NetServer’s boot order when selecting a slot on the I/O baseboard (Figure 6-1). If you are installing a SCSI controller board, the priority of the controllers (where the BIOS will search for the boot drive) is set by the board’s slot location. Refer to "I/O Board Boot Order" earlier in this chapter. 8. When you have selected a slot, remove its slot cover on the server's rear panel.
Chapter 6 Installing Additional Boards 9. Push the board down into its connector on the I/O baseboard. See Figure 6-4. Figure 6-4. Inserting the Board 10. Screw the board’s I/O bracket to the HP NetServer’s I/O panel. If the board is in one of the PCI Hot Plug slots (P7 through P10): a. Put the board’s I/O bracket in place on the I/O panel. Line the screw hole on the bracket up with the matching hole on the I/O panel, but do not screw it in. b. Replace the Hot Plug board bracket.
Chapter 6 Installing Additional Boards PCI Board Bracket Hot-Plug Board Bracket I/O Panel Captive Screw Figure 6-5. Replacing the Hot-Plug Board Bracket CAUTION The lower end of the Hot Plug board bracket should press firmly against a switch on the I/O baseboard. This switch controls power to the slot in question. If the bracket does not press firmly on the switch, power may not be available in this slot when the server boots. 11.
Chapter 6 Installing Additional Boards Hot Replacement of Hot-Plug Boards NOTE Some full-length PCI cards have a plastic "handle" (board extender) on one end. If the board you are installing has one, you may need to remove the handle to make the board fit in the HP NetServer. To replace one PCI Hot Plug board with another while the server is running, you must: • Turn off power to the slot through your server’s NOS. • Physically remove the hot plug board and replace it with another.
Chapter 6 Installing Additional Boards Figure 6-6. PCI Hot Plug Interface CAUTION Never remove a PCI Hot Plug board from a hot-plug slot without first powering down the slot through software. Doing so interferes with the operation of the board’s Hot Plug driver. As a consequence, the board will not resume I/O operation when replaced. Also, you will not be able to power up the slot again through software.
Chapter 6 Installing Additional Boards 4. The interface shows the current status of each PCI Hot Plug slot. Next to the name of each slot are graphic representations of two LEDs, one green and one amber. These show the same reading as the slot’s LEDs on the I/O baseboard. Table 6-1 shows the meaning of these LEDs. Table 6-1. Reading Hot Plug PCI Slot LEDs to Determine Slot Status Green LED Amber LED On Off Power to the slot is on, and the slot is operating normally.
Chapter 6 Installing Additional Boards 10. Put the board’s I/O bracket in place on the rear panel of the server (See Figure 6-5). Line the screw hole on the bracket up with the matching hole on the server, but do not screw it in. 11. Replace the Hot Plug board bracket. It fits over bracket. The captive screw in the Hot Plug board bracket must line up with the screw hole in the board’s I/O bracket and the matching hole on the server (Figure 6-5).
7 Installing Additional Processors Introduction This chapter tells how to install processors in the HP NetServer LXr 8000. The HP NetServer has four processor slots on its processor baseboard, and comes standard with one processor installed and terminators in the other three slots. The server supports 400 Mhz Pentium II Xeon processors with 512K or 1 MB caches. (The server will support 450 Mhz Pentium II Xeon processors with 512k, 1 MB, or 2MB caches, when the processors become available.
Chapter 7 Installing Additional Processors Unpack the shipping box and check the contents against its packing list. The upgrade kit should include: • Processor NOTE Be sure to keep the bag around the processor sealed until you are ready to install the board. • Voltage regulator modules • HP NetServer Processor Upgrade Guide NOTE 64 When the HP NetServer LXr 8000 is configured with multiple processors, all the processors must have the same frequency, stepping, and cache size.
Chapter 7 Installing Additional Processors The Processor Baseboard The HP NetServer’s processor baseboard has four processor slots, numbered 1 through 4. It also has six voltage regulator module slots, numberedVRM1 through VRM6. Figure 7-1 shows where to find these slots on the processor baseboard.
