Introduction This guide describes upgrading HP NetRAID memory in HP NetServer LH 3000/3000r and LH 6000/6000r. HP NetRAID memory is required for integrated HP NetRAID operation. For more information about integrated HP NetRAID, refer to the Integrated HP NetRAID Controller Configuration Guide. Standard HP NetRAID memory resides in a 32-MB unbuffered SDRAM DIMM on the I/O baseboard. It can be upgraded to 64 MB or 128 MB.
Installing the HP NetRAID DIMM Installation Overview This guide lists the tools and procedure for upgrading the HP NetRAID DIMM in an HP NetServer LH 3000/3000r or LH 6000/6000r. CAUTION The HP NetRAID DIMM is sensitive to static electricity and can easily be damaged by improper handling. Read the following information carefully before you handle the accessory: • Leave the DIMM in the anti-static bag until you are ready to install it. • Use an anti-static wrist strap and grounding mat.
The following procedures are required to install the DIMM: A. Shutting Down and Disconnecting Power B. Removing Cover 1 C. Disconnecting the BBM, if present D. Replacing the DIMM E. Reconnecting the BBM, if present F. Replacing Cover 1 G. Restarting the HP NetServer Tools You Need The following materials are also required to install this upgrade: ® • Anti-static Service Kit (3M part number 8501/8502/8505 or equivalent) containing a wrist strap, anti-static mat, and cable.

D. Replacing the DIMM Replace the DIMM, as follows: 1. Remove the new DIMM from its anti-static container, handling the module by its ends; do not touch the pins. Lay it on an antistatic surface. 2. Locate the existing HP NetRAID DIMM in its socket on the I/O baseboard, which is shown in Figures 3 and 4. The plastic shield covering the I/O baseboard (not shown in the figures) does not interfere with replacing the DIMM.

Spread the two retaining clips outward, as shown in Figure 5. 6. Align the notches on the new DIMM with the keys in the socket. 7.
8. Insert the new DIMM carefully into the socket. The retaining clips will close automatically if it is inserted properly. CAUTION Do not rock the DIMM into place, but apply firm and even pressure directly downward. If the retaining clips do not close, remove the module and repeat Steps 5 through 8. E. Reconnecting the BBM If a BBM is installed, plug its cable in by reversing the action shown in Figure 2. F.
G. Restarting the HP NetServer 1. Connect the power cords and all other external cables. 2. Turn on the HP NetServer, and verify that it starts properly. ◊ If the HP NetServer is operating in HP NetRAID mode, the HP NetRAID Adapter BIOS version is displayed, firmware initializes, and then DRAM = displays the capacity of the HP NetRAID DIMM. ◊ If you receive error message 0076-98: Could not configure the i960® I/O processor’s subsystem IDs, the HP NetRAID DIMM is not seated properly in its socket.
