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.
CAUTION To avoid damaging the DIMM with electrostatic
discharge, handle the DIMM in a static-free
environment only. Hold the module by its edges and
avoid touching its components. When you set down
a DIMM, always place it on its anti-static container.
In HP NetServer LH 3000/3000r and LH 6000/6000r, the HP NetRAID
memory can be backed up by an optional battery backup module (BBM).
CAUTION If a BBM is installed in the HP NetServer, shut the
NOS down properly and disconnect the BBM before
upgrading the HP NetRAID DIMM.

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.
•Before you touch the DIMM, touch a grounded,
unpainted metal surface on the system to
discharge static electricity.

4
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.
Use this kit to prevent damage to the system from static
electricity.
•T15 Torx®driver
•T25 Torx driver (required for systems mounted in HP racks)

Installation
A. Shutting Down and Disconnecting Power
Do the following to prepare for installation:
1. Bring down the NetServer’s operating system properly to make
sure that cache memory has been flushed.
2. Turn the NetServer power off.
3. Disconnect the power cord(s).
CAUTION Be sure the HP NetServer is turned off and
disconnected from AC power before you remove or
install the HP NetRAID DIMM.
B. Removing Cover 1
If your HP NetServer is mounted in a rack, extend the rack chassis
antitip foot or ensure that the anti-tip feature is installed. Then slide
out the NetServer until the slide locks into place. See your rack
documentation and the HP NetServer installation guide for more
information.
Remove Cover 1, shown in Figure 1, by following the directions in the
HP NetServer installation guide.

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.

3. Simultaneously depress both retaining clips on the DIMM socket,
which is shown in Figure 5.

4. Remove the existing DIMM from the socket. If you plan to keep
the DIMM for another use, handle it by its ends; do not touch the
pins. Lay it on an anti-static surface.
5. 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. Hold the new DIMM at a 90-degree angle to the system board.

12
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. Replacing Cover 1
CAUTION Replace all covers before operating the HP NetServer
for more than 60 minutes. Otherwise, damage to
system components may result from insufficient
airflow cooling.
Replace Cover 1, as described in the HP NetServer installation guide.
If the HP NetServer is installed in a rack enclosure, slide it into the rack
and secure it. See your rack documentation and the HP NetServer
installation guide for more information.

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. To correct the
problem, repeat the installation procedure.
NOTE If you need to change to HP NetRAID mode, refer to
Step D in Chapter 5 of the Integrated HP NetRAID
Controller Configuration Guide.
