1Overview
About This Guide
This guide describes the installation of the 200 MHz/1 MB Processor Board
Accessory Kit in HP NetServer LXr Pro8 systems. The processor board includes
two 200 MHz/1 MB CPU chips, on which two heat pipes are mounted for
efficient cooling.
Use this guide to install up to three additional processor boards in a system that
already has one 200 MHz/1MB processor board installed.
In addition to the installation instructions, this guide contains regulatory
information.
Additional Information
For other information about your HP NetServer LXr Pro8, refer to the HP
NetServer LXr Pro8 User Guide.
Verify Contents
CAUTION Do not remove the processor board from its bag until you are
ready to install it. Make sure the bag remains sealed. The
CPU chips are sensitive to humidity, so desiccant has been
packed in the bag containing the processor board. When the
processor board has been installed and the HP NetServer is
running, the chips are no longer sensitive to humidity.
Unpack the shipping box and verify that you received the contents listed on the
next page for the 200 MHz/1 MB Processor Board Accessory Kit. If anything is
missing or damaged, or if the bag around the processor board is not sealed, call
your reseller.

1. Processor board, shown in Figure 1-1, has the following parts mounted on
it:
• Two 200 MHz/1 MB CPU chips
• Two heat pipes
• Two VRMs (voltage regulator modules)
Be sure to keep the bag around the processor board sealed until you are
ready to install the board.

3. Update Return Kit that explains how to return unused terminator boards
to HP for environmentally safe disposal.
4. HP Navigator CD-ROM. You are not required to use the HP Navigator
CD-ROM to reconfigure your system after installing the new processor
board. However, we recommend that you use it to ensure that you have the
latest drivers and information.

Tools Required
• An antistatic service kit (3MTM 8501/8502/8503 or equivalent). This kit
includes a static-dissipating work surface, a chassis clip lead, and a wrist
strap.
• Number 2 Phillips head screwdriver.

2 Plan the Upgrade
Up to four processor boards, each with two 200 MHz/1 MB CPU chips, can be
installed in the HP NetServer LXr Pro8 system. All four processor board slots on
the system board must be filled, even when fewer than four processor boards
(eight CPUs) are installed. Each processor board slot must contain one of two
kinds of boards:
• Processor board. The processor board contains two 200 MHz/1MB CPU
chips with two heat pipes and two VRMs (voltage regulator modules).
or
• Terminator board. The terminator board uses the same board blank as
the processor board, but it does not contain the CPU chips, heat pipes, or
VRMs. Each terminator board contains just the components necessary to
terminate the bus.
During start up, the control panel of the HP NetServer LXr Pro8 displays how
many CPUs the system detects.
Determine Where to Place the Processor Board
The system comes standard with one processor board and three terminator
boards. Before you can add a processor board, you must remove a terminator
board.
The HP NetServer LXr Pro8 has two CPU buses: A and B. Bus A, containing
slots A1 and A2, is the primary bus. Bus B, containing slots B1 and B2, is the
secondary bus. Table 2-1 shows how processor boards can be added to the HP
NetServer LXr Pro8 to keep the two buses balanced.

Figure 2-1 shows a diagram of a system board which labels the processor board
slots. You might want to use this diagram to mark or highlight the slot (or slots)
on the system board where you will remove a terminator board to install a
200 MHz/1 MB processor board.
