1Ensure that all internal cables are properly connected and safely routed.
2If necessary, replace the front bezel. To do this, ensure that the bezel is
correctly orientated, align the two plastic tabs with their slots on the
right-hand side of the chassis, and then close the bezel. If you have
removed both sections of the front bezel, first replace the lower bezel.
3Standing at the back of the PC, lower the cover onto the chassis (aligning
the guide rail on the bottom inside edge of the cover with the bottom
edge of the PC chassis).
4Shut the cover ensuring that the guides on the top of the cover slide into
the rails at the top of the chassis.
5Slide the cover forwards, then tighten the two thumbscrews.
6If required, lock the cover using the key provided. Reconnect all the
power and telecommunications cables.

Removing and Replacing a Processor
Single-processor systems can be upgraded to dual-processor systems by
installing a second processor in the vacant processor slot. The second
processor must be of the same type, speed and level-2 cache memory
capacity as the first.
1Switch off the display and PC Workstation. Disconnect all power cables
and any LAN or telecommunications cables.
2Remove the PC Workstation’s cover (refer to page 3 for instructions).
3Remove the HP UltraFlow Airflow Guide (refer to page 5).
4If you intend to:
aRemove a Processor:
Press the retention clips on both sides of the processor outwards.
Then gently lift the processor upwards from the processor
connector, taking care not to tilt it too much.
bInstall a Second Processor:
Remove the processor terminator from the CPU 2 connector. Store
the terminator in a safe place. For information about upgrading the
operating system, refer to "HP DualExpress!", on page 7.

Installing a
Processor
1Ensure that the edges of the processor are lined-up with the processor
connector guide rails along the retention mechanism.
2Place one hand on the processor’s heatsink and push down onto the
processor connector. You hear two clicks as the retention mechanism
pops back, thereby locking the processor into the processor connector.
NOTE HP Kayak XU800 PC Workstations include a Voltage Regulator Module
(VRM) socket on the system board. When installing a second processor,
the VRM delivered with the processor accessory kit must be installed in
this socket.
A VRM is not required on the HP Kayak XM600 PC Workstation.
3Replace the HP UltraFlow Airflow Guide (refer to page 5).
4Replace the PC Workstation’s cover (refer to page 4). Reconnect all the
power and telecommunications cables.
NOTE The processor type and speed is automatically recognized by the BIOS.
This means that no particular switch setting changes are required.
HP DualExpress!
Included with the HP Processor Accessory is the HP DualExpress!
application. This application is to be used when upgrading Windows NT
from a single-processor to a multi-processor system.
Using an installation Wizard, HP DualExpress! guides you through the
operating system upgrade which should take less than five minutes to
complete.
Launching HP
DualExpress!
The second processor must be installed and the PC booted. For now,
Windows NT will still only recognize the original processor. Insert the HP
DualExpress! floppy disk in the floppy disk drive and follow the
instructions. When the upgrade is complete, the system reboots. This time
a multi-processing system is recognized.

Removing, Replacing and Upgrading Memory
on HP Kayak XM600 Models Shipped with SDRAM
Upgrading SDRAM Memory
SDRAM models of the HP Kayak XM600 are supplied with a Memory
Expansion Card supporting one or two Synchronized Dynamic RAM
(SDRAM) 100 MHz memory modules.
NOTE Use only the HP memory modules provided for your PC model. If you want
to find out about available accessories for your PC, refer to the HP
Accessories Web site at: http://www.hp.com/go/pcaccessories.
If two memory modules are installed, and they do not have identical
capacities, then the module with the highest capacity must be installed in
the memory slot nearest to the system board.
If only one memory module is installed, it can be installed in either socket.
The unused socket should be left empty; no continuity module or
terminator is required.
The Memory Expansion Card is installed in a reserved memory socket on
the system board (the socket furthest from the processor(s)).
The two remaining memory sockets on the system board, RIMM0 and
RIMM1 must each contain a continuity module.
Removing and Replacing an SDRAM Module
1Switch off the display and PC Workstation. Disconnect all power cables
and any LAN or telecommunications cables.
2Remove the PC Workstation’s cover (refer to page 3 for instructions).
3Remove the HP UltraFlow Airflow Guide to obtain access to the SDRAM
modules and sockets on the memory expansion card (refer to page 5 for
instructions).
NOTE Install memory modules directly onto the Memory Expansion Card
without removing it from the system board.
4To remove a memory module, open the two retaining clips and remove
the module out of the socket.

Memory Upgrades on the HP Kayak XU800
13
Memory Upgrades on the HP Kayak XU800
There is a single Memory Expansion Card connector on the system board
that supports a Memory Expansion Card installed with either RIMM or
DIMM sockets.
NOTE Do not install a memory module directly into a Memory Expansion Card
connector on the system board.
Depending on your PC Workstation, one of the following options is
available:
•Four RIMM sockets. Each socket hosts RDRAM ECC memory modules
installed in pairs that must contain the same parameters per channel.
The first two RIMM sockets A0-B0, closest to the system board, contain
the first pair of memory modules. Upgrades are then installed in RIMM
sockets A1-B1.
Any unused RIMM sockets must contain a continuity module. If all
sockets are used, store the continuity modules in a safe place for future
upgrade possibilities. A RIMM memory module has several parameters
that must be taken into consideration when upgrading memory:
❒ECC Type. RIMM modules exist in either ECC or non-ECC versions.
However, the HP Kayak XU800 PC Workstation supports only ECC
RIMM modules.
❒Speed Rating. Speed ratings for RIMM modules exist between: PC600
to PC800. When upgrading memory, RIMM modules should only be
installed with the same speed rating.
RIMM socket A0
RIMM socket B0
RIMM socket B1
RIMM socket A1

•Four DIMM sockets. Each socket hosts SDRAM 100 MHz non-ECC
memory modules that are used in pairs. The first two DIMM sockets
A0-B0, closest to the system board, contain the first pair of memory
modules. Upgrades are then installed in DIMM sockets A1-B1.
If any of the sockets are unused, leave them free, because a continuity
module is not required. When upgrading the memory, always use the
same type of SDRAM modules in pairs.

Installing Mass Storage Devices
The PC has an integrated Ultra ATA-66 controller that supports up to four
IDE devices. Removable media IDE devices, such as CD-ROM drives, DVD
drives, tape drives and Zip drives, require front access. In addition to the
floppy disk drive, your PC can support another 3.5-inch device plus two
front-access 5.25-inch devices. Note that one front-access shelf may already
have a CD-ROM drive installed in it.
Refer to the drive’s manual to see if you must set jumpers or if there is a
special installation procedure to follow.
If you add an IDE Zip drive, hard disk drive, DVD drive, CD-ROM drive,
CD-RW drive, or tape drive, you need to connect it to power and data
cables. The data cables and connectors provided are shown below.
Which IDE Data
Connectors to Use
There are three data cables inside your PC Workstation. Two of these are for
IDE devices. The following table explains which data connectors you should

to the Primary IDE connector on the system board. The bootable hard
disk drive is connected to this cable via the MASTER connector. A
second hard disk drive could be installed by using the SLAVE connector.
•A second IDE drive cable supports two IDE devices. If you install a
CD-ROM drive, a DVD drive or a Zip drive, connect it to this cable.
•The third cable has one connector for a floppy drive.
