4 Installing Mass Storage Devices Introduction This chapter describes how to install the internal mass storage devices, including the internal SCSI Hot Swap hard disk drives and the optional Tape Backup (DAT) Drive. The requirements for external SCSI drives are provided in the respective topic later in this chapter.
Chapter 4 Installing Mass Storage Devices Drive Bay Shelves The non-hot swap drives include the IDE CD-ROM and the 3.5 inch flexible disk drives which are standard for all HP NetServer models (LC 2000/2000r) and ship with each unit. The two empty drive shelves beneath the CD ROM drive support other non-hot swap SCSI devices, such as hard drives (3.5-inch or 5.25-inch), tape back-up devices, or other HP-tested (LVD or SE) SCSI accessories.
Chapter 4 Installing Mass Storage Devices You can change this boot order using the Setup Utility (BIOS) and the SCSI Configuration Utility during the boot process. Refer to Chapter 10 "Configuring the HP NetServer" for more information. By default the NetServer searches for boot devices in this order: 1. IDE CD-ROM drive 2. Flexible disk drive 3. SCSI A bus (typically Hot Swap Mass Storage Cage) 4. SCSI B bus (typically non-Hot Swap internal SCSI devices) 5. PCI Slot P1 6. PCI Slot P2 7. PCI slot P3 8.
Chapter 4 Installing Mass Storage Devices Mass Storage Guidelines • General Guidelines ◊ Use care when unpacking and handling the disk drives. The hard disk drives are very susceptible to mechanical shock and can be easily damaged by a drop as short as one-quarter of an inch. If the drop would crack an egg, it will damage the drive. ◊ Do not stack drives. ◊ Do not use high voltage differential (HVD) SCSI devices on any of the SCSI channels or damage will occur.
Chapter 4 Installing Mass Storage Devices • SCSI Drive Addressing ◊ The drives in the Hot Swap Cage are automatically assigned SCSI addresses by the HP NetServer. The Hot Swap drive’s address is dependent on its position within the drive cage and the combination of half-height and low-profile SCSI drives installed. Refer to Figures 4-2 through 4-5 for the automatic SCSI ID assignments. The Hot Swap Cage also supports the installation of a Duplex board, which divides the cage in two equal halves.
Chapter 4 Installing Mass Storage Devices If there are gaps in the cage, the drives may not receive the proper ventilation and could suffer thermal damage. • Filler Panels and Spacers ◊ Ensure all empty slots in the Hot Swap drive cage have filler panels inserted to ensure proper airflow. If there are fewer drives than the Hot Swap drive cage supports, a 1-inch filler panel must be inserted in each empty disk location. The filler panels ensure the drive cage has the proper ventilation and airflow.

5 Installing Additional Memory Introduction This chapter provides the instructions for installing and removing DIMMs on the system board in the HP NetServer LC 2000 or LC 2000r. The video memory comes with 2MB standard and cannot be upgraded. NOTE The EDO DIMMs and PC 100 SDRAM DIMMs from earlier HP NetServer models will fit into the DIMM slots in the NetServer LC 2000/LC 2000r, but the EDO DIMMs and PC 100 SDRAM will not function properly. Use only 133 MHz SDRAM DIMMs acquired from HP.
Chapter 5 Installing Additional Memory Memory Installation Guidelines • The HP NetServer LC 2000/2000r uses only 133 MHz (PC133) SDRAM DIMMs, which are electrically different from the EDO and PC100 SDRAM memory modules used in previous HP NetServer models. • DIMM sizes supported are 64 MB, 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, or 1 GB in any combination. • Supported memory capacity ranges from 64 MB to 4 GB maximum (1 GB per DIMM slot and 4 DIMM slots total). The minimum capacity is 64 MB (one DIMM).
Chapter 5 Installing Additional Memory To install additional memory in the HP NetServer, refer to the following procedure. 1. To gain access to the HP NetServer, perform one of the procedures listed below. NOTE It is not necessary to remove the system board from the HP NetServer to install the additional DIMM memory.
Chapter 5 Installing Additional Memory 5. Insert the DIMM fully into the slot, handling the DIMM by its edges. See Figures 5-2 and 5-3. The retaining clips should grasp the DIMM automatically if it is inserted properly. If the clips do not close, the DIMM is not inserted correctly. CAUTION Do not rock the DIMM into place, but apply firm and even pressure. If the retaining clips do not close, remove the DIMM and repeat Steps 2-5. Figure 5-3.
Chapter 5 Installing Additional Memory 7. If the NetServer is in a rack installation, return the chassis into the rack. Refer to Chapter 3, "Opening and Closing the HP NetServer." 8.

6 Installing Additional Boards Introduction This chapter describes how to install accessory boards into the system board of the HP NetServer LC 2000/2000r. The system board provides up to six PCI slots (P1 through P6), two of which are 64-bit slots.
Chapter 6 Installing Additional Boards Boot Priority This section details the HP NetServer’s boot order by highest to lowest priority. The NetServer’s boot order (BIOS search order for a boot drive) should be considered when selecting a slot on the system board. This is especially important if you are installing a SCSI disk controller board. The disk controller’s boot priority is set by the board’s slot location. See Figure 6-1. The on-board SCSI consists of two channels, A and B.
Chapter 6 Installing Additional Boards IRQ Settings The IRQ settings are automatically assigned and don’t require user intervention. PCI boards have the capability of sharing hardware interrupts (IRQs) with other PCI boards, as stated in the PCI specifications, but this does not always prove to be true between board manufacturers. To solve this problem requires an in-depth knowledge of a server’s implementation to place a PCI board in a slot that would not conflict with another PCI board’s IRQ setting.
Chapter 6 Installing Additional Boards • Two PCI slots (P5-P6) support full-length 32- or 64-bit boards at clock rates of 33 MHz. These slots only support +5 VDC power and Universal boards. These slots have keys in the upper half of the board slot to prevent 3.3 volt boards from being inserted into the slots. CAUTION Some accessory board outputs may exceed U.S.
