Installing an Additional Processor
IMPORTANT: If the system board part number in your workstation is 339100-xxx, this section replaces
the “Installing an Additional Processor” section of the existing Hardware Reference Guide.
CAUTION: Failure to follow the workstation preparation instructions and these installation steps could
result in an improperly installed processor, causing extensive system damage.
NOTE: The second processor must be of the same speed, cache, size, and type as the primary processor.
To install a second processor:
1. Power down your system as instructed in the Hardware Reference Guide.
2. Remove the workstation access panel.
3. Place the workstation in the desktop position.

4. Remove any preinstalled screws from the system board around the second processor socket.
5. Open the second processor socket lever 1fully (the full swing angle of the lever is approximately 135
degrees).
6. Line up the two keyed corners of the pins on the processor with the two keyed corners of the processor
socket and install the processor 2into the socket. Ensure that the underside of the processor is level
with the top of the processor socket.
7. Lightly press down on the top of the processor while closing the socket lever.
8. Check for proper processor seating in the socket. Using your fingers, carefully try to lift the processor
out of the socket. A properly seated processor will not lift out of the socket.
9. Remove and discard the green thermal grease protective liner from the bottom of the new fansink and
set the fansink over the processor 1.
NOTE: Be careful not to touch the exposed thermal grease when handling the fansink.
10. Line up the captive screws 2of the fansink with the holes on the system board (the holes where the
preinstalled screws were removed earlier).
11. Tighten the screws until they no longer turn and the springs are fully compressed.
NOTE: The screws should be tightened in a crossing pattern to ensure the fansink is secured correctly.
12. Connect the fansink cable to the system board header 3.

4
13. Reassemble the workstation and restore power.
NOTE: A manual Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) upgrade is necessary when installing a second
processor after the system has gone through the software unbundling process. If a second processor is
installed prior to unbundling, a manual upgrade is not necessary. HP recommends that the software
unbundling process be completed prior to installing additional components. For information about
upgrading to a multiprocessor HAL, refer to the documentation included in your processor upgrade kit.
DIMM Installation Guidelines
IMPORTANT: This section replaces both the “DIMM Installation Guidelines” and the “DIMM
Installation Configurations” sections of the existing Hardware Reference Guide.
ÅWARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the internal system
components to cool before touching.
ÅWARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury when replacing or removing DIMMs, allow the
module being removed from the DIMM socket sufficient time to cool. DIMM temperatures can reach
212° F (100° C).
ÄCAUTION: When handling a memory module, do not touch any of the contacts. Doing so may damage
the module.
ÄCAUTION: Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the workstation or option boards.
Before beginning these procedures, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by briefly touching
a grounded metal object.
When adding, upgrading, or replacing PC2100 DDR SDRAM memory modules in the hp workstation
xw6000, care must be taken to avoid incorrect pairing of modules in the same channel. This system does
not support mixed DIMM pairing on the same channel.
NOTE: See the “System Board Components” section at the beginning of this document (if your system
board part number is 339100-xxx) or in the the Hardware Reference Guide for the location of the DIMM
sockets.
■For proper system operation, if your system supports DDR-SDRAM DIMMs, the DIMMs must be
industry-standard 184-pin, Registered ECC PC 2100 266 MHz-compliant, 2.5 volt DDR-SDRAM
DIMMs. The DDR-SDRAM DIMMs must support CAS Latency 2 or 2.5 (CL = 2 or CL = 2.5). They
must also contain the mandatory Joint Electronic Device Engineering Council (JEDEC) Serial
Presence Detect (SPD) information.
■DIMMs should be installed in pairs.
■Do not mix DIMMs of different memory speeds. Performance will reflect the speed of the slowest
DIMM.
■Each DIMM within a pair should be identical in size. For example, a 256MB DIMM must be paired
with a similar 256MB DIMM.

5
■Each DIMM within a pair should be identical in technology. For example, you cannot mix a 256 MB
9-device DIMM with a 128MB 18-device DIMM on the same channel.
NOTE: To identify which DIMM technology you are using, compare the memory size and number of
DRAM components on the module. A 128 MB DIMM has 18 DRAM components that fully populate both
sides of the module. A 256MB DIMM has 9 DRAM components; four on one side, five on the other.
■The first pair of DIMMS should be installed in slots 1 and 2. The DIMM slots are numbered
sequentially. Slot 1 is closest to the CPUs.
■The second pair of DIMMS, if any, should be installed in slots 3 and 4.
■DIMMs must be installed correctly. Be sure to match the keyed slot on the DIMM with the tab on the
DIMM socket.
■For optimal system performance, DIMMs should be installed in identical pairs in the following three
configurations: slot 1 and 2, slot 3 and 4, or all DIMM slots populated in paired format.
■If you are using a single DIMM configuration, the DIMM should be installed in slot 1 or slot 3.
NOTE: Although a single-DIMM configuration is possible, it does not provide the optimal system
performance that a dual-DIMM (dual-channel) of matching sizes, configuration provides.
■If you are installing two DIMMs of different sizes, they can only be installed in slot 1 and slot 3
with each DIMM occupying either slot.
NOTE: Although a mixed size dual-DIMM configuration is possible, it does not provide the optimal
system performance that a dual-DIMM (dual-channel) of matching sizes, configuration provides.
■No other memory configurations are supported. Attempts to install memory in other configurations
will result in unpredictable system performance.
NOTE: The following table provides acceptable pairing configurations but do not cover all module
capacities. However, the same pairing configuration applies regardless of the module type and capacity.

Hyper-Threading Technology
Hyper-Threading Technology is a high performance technology, developed by Intel®, that allows a single
processor to execute multiple threads of instructions simultaneously. Hyper-Threading Technology enables
the processor to utilize its execution resources more efficiently, delivering performance increases and
improving user productivity. Not all systems benefit from the Hyper-Threading Technology.
To see if Hyper-Threading Technology can benefit you, test your system by turning the feature on using
the Computer Setup (F10) system utility. To do this, run F10 Setup during boot up and select Advanced >
Device Options > Hyper-Threading, and enable the Hyper-Threading Technology.
Note the following:
■If your workstation does not support Hyper-Threading Technology, the Hyper-Threading menu item
will not be available on the Computer Setup menu.
■The Hyper-Threading Technology is recommended for use with Microsoft® Windows® XP systems.
This technology is detected by the system and is turned on in the operating system after it is enabled in
the system BIOS.
■Hyper-Threading is not recommended for use with Windows 2000-based workstations.
■The Hyper-Threading Technology is compatible with Linux-based systems. An SMP kernel must be
installed on your system before this technology can be enabled.
■For more information about the Hyper-Threading Technology, you can visit the Intel Web site at
www.intel.com.

Product Features
Audio System
Your workstation has an integrated audio solution that supports
analog or digital external stereo speakers. The system is capable of
autosensing the speaker type and outputting the correct signal.
The autosensing is done by detecting if there is a mono jack
plugged into the line-out connector.
If you are using a set of digital speakers that have a stereo jack, and
you want the system to auto-switch to digital, you will need to use
a stereo-to-mono adapter to get the autosensing to work. However, if
you do not have a stereo-to-mono adapter present, then you can
manually switch the audio signal from analog to digital. See
“Solving Audio Problems” in the Troubleshooting Guide on the
Documentation Library CD for instructions on how to manually
switch the audio signal for your operating system.
If you are using a headphone set that is mono, the system will attempt
to switch to digital and you will experience “noise” or “silence.”
This can be fixed by manually switching the signal to analog.
See “Solving Audio Problems” in the Troubleshooting Guide on
the Documentation Library CD for instructions on how to manually
switch the audio signal for your operating system.
✎If your analog speakers or headphones are not working, make sure
you are not using a mono adapter with autosensing enabled.

Easy Access Paper Icon Insert
The paper icon insert functions as a visual aid in identifying the
programmed destination of each Easy Access Button. Whenever you
reprogram an Easy Access Button, use the Paper Insert Template
document to select and print an icon that reflects the new button
assignment. The Paper Insert Template.doc is installed, by default,
under C:\Program files\Compaq\Easy Access Keyboard.
✎For proper alignment, the spacing around the icons may require
adjustment.
