Audience Assumptions
This road map is intended for the person who installs, administers,
and troubleshoots LAN servers. Hewlett-Packard Company assumes
that you are qualified in the servicing of computer equipment and
trained in recognizing hazards in products with hazardous energy
levels.
ESD Warning
Tools Required
This HP NetServer contains sensitive electronic devices that can be
damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD hazards are a result
of installation or service personnel failing to ground themselves
properly. To be properly grounded, use a proper ESD wrist strap and
work surface grounded to the HP NetServer chassis.
Installation of some accessories require a T15 TORX or a 1/4-inch
flat blade screwdriver, depending on the accessory.

To replace a cover:
1. Turn off the HP NetServer
2. Unlock the bezel lock
3. To remove the front bezel,
4. Loosen the thumbscrew
WARNING Before removing cover(s), always disconnect the
power cord and unplug telephone cables.
Disconnect the power cord to avoid exposure to
high energy levels that may cause burns when
parts are short-circuited by metal objects, such as
tools or jewelry. Disconnect telephone cables to
avoid exposure to shock hazard from telephone
ringing voltages.
Note that the power switch does not turn off the
standby power. Disconnect the power cord to turn
off standby power. If the backlight on the LCD
display is on, standby power is on.
CAUTION Wear a wrist strap and use a static-dissipating work
surface connected to the chassis at all times.

not, consider the boot order (see below) when choosing the
accessory board socket in which to install the board.
for each slot to be used, and store it
for future use. If you are installing any full-length PCI boards, also
remove the accessory board retainer. Push on the button on the
retainer to release it, and then slide it out of the board guide.
Insert each board in the desired slot and
fasten the board's mounting screw at the slot opening at the rear of
the chassis. Connect any required cables to the boards. If you
removed the board retainer, reinstall it.
NOTE If you install an ISA non-Plug-and-Play board,
you must reserve system resources (some or
all of: memory addresses, I/O addresses,
IRQs, and DMA channels) for it. Write down
that information now for reference when you
reserve system resouces in Section 12:
"Configure the HP NetServer."
Boot order for PCI controllers is determined by slot location. The
system searches for a bootable device in the following order:
1. IDE CD-ROM drive with a bootable CD-ROM.
2. Flexible disk drive with a bootable flexible disk.
3. Embedded SCSI controller or embedded DAC.
4. PCI boards in slots in the following order: 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
This boot order can be changed using the SETUP utility
(press [F2] during the boot process).
Boot Device Priority
An accessory board can be identified by the offset of the bracket
and the shape of the edge connector:

9Install Additional Mass Storage Devices
This HP NetServer supports both hot-swap SCSI devices,
installed in the hot-swap mass storage cage, and non-hot swap
SCSI devices, installed in shelves 3 and 4 (located below the
CD-ROM drive).
Use only Ultra2 (LVD), SCA-2 connector hot-swap devices in
the hot-swap mass storage cage. You can use any standard
(non-Ultra2) wide, 68-pin single-ended SCSI device in non-hot-
swap shelves 3 and 4, such as a removable hard disk or a tape
backup drive. Narrow (50-pin) SCSI devices are supported in
the non-hot-swap shelves, but require a 68-to-50-pin cable
adapter for connecting the data cable to the device. (One
adapter is provided on the SCSI cable behind shelf 3.)
SCSI Addressing
Different form-factor hot-swap disk drive modules can be mixed and
matched within the hot-swap mass storage cage. Because so many
different configurations are possible, SCSI addresses assigned to the
modules will be different depending on the particular configuration.
See "Non-Hot-Swap SCSI Addressing," below, for addressing restrictions
on non-hot-swap devices.
Inserting a Hot-Swap Disk Drive Module
1. Open the drive by pressing in on the locking latch at the end of the drive
ejector handle and pulling open the handle.
2. Choose a location in the hot-swap mass-storage cage and gently slide
the drive into the cage. Stop when you feel resistance.
3. Verify that the locking pin behind the pivot end of the handle engages
the hole in the chassis. (See figure, at right).
4. With even pressure, gently close the ejector handle until the locking
latch clicks shut.
CAUTION Do not mix Ultra2 devices with other SCSI
devices. Use only Ultra2 devices in the
hot-swap mass-storage cages. Use only
non-Ultra2 (wide or narrow) devices in the
non-hot-swap shelves (shelves 3 and 4).
CAUTION Do not operate this NetServer -- even for
short periods -- without a tray, filler panel,
or drive spacer in every hot-swap and
non-hot-swap mass storage location.
Otherwise, damage to components may
result due to improper cooling airflow.
NOTE For maximum storage density and to avoid
configuration problems, install hot-swap drives in
consecutive locations only, beginning with the lowest
location in the mass-storage cage.
Both half-height (1.6-inch) and low-profile (1-inch) form-factor devices
may be installed in the hot-swap mass-storage cage. There are two
different height hot-swap trays available to accommodate drives of
different form factors.
Six low-profile devices or four half-height devices, or combinations of
these two devices may be installed in the hot-swap mass-storage cage.

Disk Module
Disk Spacer
Low-Profile
Disk Module or
Filler Panel
Because of the height difference between half-height and low-profile
devices, some combinations of the two types of trays will require
spacers to take up space between devices. The figure below shows the
different combinations of hot-swap devices possible. SCSI addresses
are assigned automatically depending on the location of a drive module
within the mass storage cage.
SCSI addresses listed here are for SCSI A only. Refer to the
Removing a Hot-Swap Disk Drive Module
1. Let the drive spin down completely before removing it.
2. Press in on the locking latch at the end of the drive ejector handle and
gently open the handle.
3. Slowly pull the drive out of the cage.

Non-Hot-Swap SCSI Addressing
SCSI Addresses
Jumper Settings
Each SCSI device must have a unique SCSI
address. Devices connected to the SE connector
(those located on the non-hot-swap shelves) and to
the SCSI B connector (not used in the factory-
configured models) share one SCSI bus. Therefore
each device connected to either of these connectors
must have a unique address (narrow devices may
use addresses 0-6; wide devices may use addresses
0-15, except address 7).
The figure to the right is typical of a SCSI hard disk
drive that may be used in this NetServer. Use this as
a general reference for jumper locations and
settings. Typically, jumpers A0, A1, A2, and A3
determine the SCSI address.
Refer to the documentation that came with the SCSI
device for the jumper location and settings. Refer to

Verify Installed Accessories (Optional)
11 If you wish, you may now verify accessories you have
installed. Turn on power to the HP NetServer and the
monitor, and observe the boot screen.
The boot screen lists the hardware, as it is detected,
such as CPU, memory, and accessory boards. If the
system fails to boot, follow the instructions on the
screen.
NOTE SCSI devices connected to a disk array controller
board (DAC), or the integrated NetRAID controller
cannot be displayed at boot time, nor can an ISA
non-Plug-and-Play board be displayed at boot
time.

Select "Yes" to choose automated NOS installation
for first-time installation of Novell NetWare /
IntranetWare or Microsoft Windows NT Server on a
factory-configured HP NetServer.
Use the manual NOS installation if you are installing a
NOS other than Novell NetWare / IntranetWare or
Microsoft Windows NT Server, or if you have replaced
accessory components (for example, if you replaced
an HP network interface controller board with a third-
party board, use the manual NOS installation).
