Replacing the Processor
The PC Workstation has only one processor slot on the system board and is
supplied with either a Pentium II or Pentium III processor which includes an
integrated heatsink, level-1 and level-2 cache memory.
The processors are contained on a module which is installed in the processor
socket and is held in place by a bracket. To remove the processor, press the two
plastic clips towards each other and pull the processor out of its connector.
Cache Memory
512 KB of level-two cache memory is integrated in the Pentium II Slot 1
processor package.
Main Memory
The PC Workstation has three DIMM slots on the system board for installing
main memory; slots Mem 1, Mem 2 and Mem 3. Models are supplied with 64 MB
of non-ECC main memory. Memory upgrades are only available in single 32 MB,
64 MB, 128 MB or 256 MB unbuffered ECC SDRAM modules.
Memory can be upgraded to a maximum of 768 MB using multiples of
(3 x 256 MB) of unbuffered ECC memory modules.
A serial EEPROM on each DIMM contains data on the memory speed. This
information is read at each power on, and access time settings are set
accordingly.
Video Memory Upgrade
The graphics controller installed on the PC Workstation could be either an
ELSA GLoria Synergy™ or a Matrox Millennium G200.
The Matrox Millennium G200 has a total of 8 MB of video memory already
supplied on the graphics controller board. Memory may be upgraded to a
maximum of 16 MB by installing a memory module of 8 MB onto the board. No
switch or jumper settings need to be changed.
The ELSA GLoria Synergy includes 4 MB of video SGRAM memory installed on
the graphics board. Added to this, there is a pre-installed 4 MB SO_DIMM video
memory module, giving a total of 8 MB (this is the maximum amount of video
memory possible).

Beep, POST, and Error Codes
Beep Codes
If an error occurs during the POST, which prevents the PC Workstation from
starting, and before the display device has been initialized, a series of beep
codes are issued. Beep codes indicate that a fatal error has occurred and can be
reported one after another if there is more than one detected error. In this case,
the first detected error is the most important.
These codes are useful for identifying the error when the system is unable to
display the error message.

1. If the BIOS detects error 2C or 2E (base 512K RAM error), it displays an additional word-
bitmap (xxxx) indicating the address line or bits that failed. For example, “2C 0002” means
address line 1 (bit one set) has failed. “2E 1020” means data bits 12 and 5 (bits 12 and 5 set)
have failed in the lower 16 bits.

Recovery Boot Active Procedures
HP Kayak XU800 PC Workstation
BIOS Recovery
NOTE: The following BIOS recovery (Crisis Mode) is for the HP
Kayak XU800 PC Workstation models only.
If for some reason the BIOS is corrupted and the standard flash cannot be used,
use the BIOS Recovery Mode (exceptional BIOS recovery operation) to restore
the BIOS.
The following recovery operation is also documented in the flash.txt file which
is supplied with the downloaded BIOS files.
To restore the BIOS:
1 Copy the BIOS files on to the floppy disk.
2 Rename the file AI11xx.rom to amiboot.rom.
3 Shut down the PC Workstation.
4 Power off the PC Workstation and remove the power cord and cables.
5 Remove the cover.
6 Set switch 1 to the DOWN position.
7 Insert the floppy disk into the floppy disk drive.
8 Reconnect the power cord and switch on the PC Workstation.
9 The PC Workstation boots from the floppy disk, then flashes the BIOS.
However, it should be noted that during the flash process, the screen remains
blank. MaxiLife will display a message on the LCD panel “RECOVERY
MODE”.
10 The recovery process is finished when there are four beeps.
11 Power off the PC Workstation. Remove the floppy disk from the drive.
Remove the power cord.
12 Set switch 1 back to the UP position.
13 Replace the cover, reconnect the power cord, then reboot the PC
Workstation.
