IY.W1.yy.zz
where:
yy= BIOS version number
zz = is the selected language to be downloaded

Main Memory
The HP x2000 has two pairs of memory sockets for installing either two
or four RAMBUS Direct RAM (RDRAM) memory modules.
Each pair of memory sockets must contain identical memory modules
(identical in size, speed and type). That is, sockets A1 and B1 must
contain identical modules, and sockets A2 and B2 must contain identical
modules (or continuity modules).
Default
Position Switch Use
1-4 OFF Reserved. Do not change Default Settings
5 ON Reserved. Do not change Default Setting
6 ON Enables keyboard power-on.
OFF disables this option.
7 OFF Enables normal modes.
ON enables the BIOS recovery mode at
next boot.
8 OFF Retains CMOS memory.
ON clears CMOS memory at next boot.
9 OFF Enables User and System Administrator
passwords.
ON clears the passwords at next boot.
10 ON ON = Minitower chassis

Chapter 110
If only two RDRAM modules are installed, use the sockets marked A1
and B1. The other two sockets (A2 and B2) must contain continuity
modules.
Replacing the Processor
Removing the Existing Processor
1. Turn on the Workstation for 3 to 5 minutes to warm up the heatsink
and processor. This will make the separation of the heatsink and the
processor easier. Do not leave the Workstation on longer than 3 to 5
minutes as the heatsink may become too hot to touch. Switch off the
display and Workstation.
2. Disconnect all power cables and any LAN or telecommunications
cables and remove the Workstation’s cover.
3. Place the Workstation on its side for better access.
4. Remove the heatsink power connector from the system board.
NOTE If the Turbo-Fan (located in the center of the heatsink) has not been
working, the heatsink may be hot enough to cause burns. Wait until the
heatsink has cooled a little before removing.
5. Remove the two heatsink clips (if present) then lift off the heatsink.
The small amount of heat created during the 3 to 5 minute warm-up
should aid in separating the heatsink from the processor.
