Chapter 6 Addendum HP NetServer LXr 8000 Installation Guide Introduction This chapter describes how to install I/O accessory boards into the HP NetServer LXr 8000’s I/O baseboard. The LXr 8000 supports ten PCI board slots and one ISA board slot shared with the first PCI slot. Slots P1 through P6 are reserved for accessory boards without the hot-plug compliant drivers. Slots P7 through P10 are reserved for PCI accessory boards using the PCI Hot-Plug (PHP) option and hot-plug-compliant drivers.
Chapter 6 Addendum HP NetServer LXr 8000 Installation Guide Boot Priority This section details the NetServer’s boot order by highest to lowest priority. See Figure 6-1 and the boot order list on the following page. 10 9 8 PCI Hot-Swap Slots Amber LED 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Shared PCI/ISA Slot Green LED PCI (Non-Hot Swap) Slots Figure 6-1. Boot Priority Sequence The HP NetServer’s boot order (BIOS search order for a boot drive) should be considered when selecting a slot on the I/O baseboard.
Chapter 6 Addendum HP NetServer LXr 8000 Installation Guide By default the NetServer searches for boot devices in this order: 1. IDE CD-ROM drive 2. Flexible (Floppy) disk drive 3. PCI Slot P1 4. SCSI A bus ◊ SCSI device ID 0 ◊ SCSI device ID 1 ◊ SCSI device ID 15 5. SCSI B bus ◊ SCSI device ID 0 ◊ SCSI device ID 1 ◊ SCSI device ID 15 6. PCI slot 2 7. PCI slot 3 8. PCI slot 4 9. PCI slot 5 10. PCI slot 6 11. PCI slot 7 12. PCI slot 8 13. PCI slot 9 14.
Chapter 6 Addendum HP NetServer LXr 8000 Installation Guide I/O Baseboard All accessory boards plug into the I/O baseboard at the rear of the server’s chassis. The I/O Baseboard supports the following accessory board types in the respective slots. See Figure 6-2. • IDE and SCCI interface connectors – These interfaces provide the connections for the CD-ROM, floppy disk drives, and hard drives used in the NetServer.
Chapter 6 Addendum HP NetServer LXr 8000 Installation Guide Remote Control Card The HP TopTools Remote Control card must be in slot 2 and requires a cable connection to I/O baseboard. The TopTools Remote Control cable connects to the I2C connector J1D1 on the I/O baseboard. For more information on use of the Remote Control card, see Server Management for the LXr 8000. See Figure 6-2.
Chapter 6 Addendum HP NetServer LXr 8000 Installation Guide Installation for Non-Hot-Plug Boards Use this procedure to install all accessory boards, including PCI boards, for all of the following situations: • All new accessory boards (slots P1 through P10) • All accessory boards installed or removed in non-hot-plug-capable slots (P1 through P6), including the I/O riser card • All PCI boards with non-compliant hot-plug drivers installed or removed in hot-plug slots (P7 through P10) NOTE These steps also
