Firmware and Software Changes
This section deals with the firmware changes provided by the HP Netserver
Navigator CD-ROM and the possible reinstalling of the NOS to recognize the
second processor.
Upgrading the Firmware
If your processor included a new HP Netserver Navigator CD-ROM, insert the
CD into the HP Netserver LP 2000r CD-ROM drive and power on the Netserver.
Follow the instructions provided on screen to ensure the system BIOS is
up-to-date. The system BIOS on the CD will be compared to the Netserver’s
current BIOS and will indicate if the BIOS needs to be updated. For more
information, see Chapter 10, "Configuring the HP Netserver."
Reinstalling the NOS
You may need to reconfigure or reinstall your NOS in order to use the additional
processor you have installed. If you have gone from a single-processor to
dual-processor configuration, check your NOS documentation or the Readme file
and Configuration Advisor utilities on the HP Netserver Navigator CD-ROM.
Removing a Processor and Heatsink
Use this procedure to remove a processor and its heatsink (the heatsink must be
removed before the processor).
CAUTION Take the following precautions when removing processors:
• Wear an anti-static wrist strap and use a static-dissipating
work surface or grounding mat connected to the chassis
when handling components.
• Before removing the processor, touch a grounded
unpainted metal surface on the HP Netserver to discharge
static electricity.
1. Remove the air flow guide. See Chapter 2, "Opening and Closing the HP
Netserver."
2. Use a flathead screwdriver or similar tool to unhook the tool latch on the
heatsink. See Figure 6-6.
