Step 2: Opening the HP NetServer
Tools Required:
•¼ inch flat-blade screwdriver
•Torx T-15 driver
WARNING Before removing the cover, always disconnect the power cord
and remove the telephone cable.
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.

Step 3: Installing Memory
•Use only HP DIMMs, which are 3.3V, 168-pin, PC133 (133 MHz),
buffered SDRAM DIMMs in 128 MB, 256 MB, or 512 MB.
•DIMMs may be installed in any slot, in any combination (sizes mixed), in
any order, but HP recommends starting at slot 0 and filling the slots in
order with the largest size first: 0, 1, 2, and 3.
•Ensure both latches close on the DIMM when completely installed.

Step 4: Installing Mass Storage Devices
•The NetServer is internally limited to 7 mass storage shelves.
The flexible disk drive and CD-ROM drive, which are standard on all
models of the HP NetServer E 800, occupy shelves 1 and 2 respectively.
•If a backup tape drive is used, it will occupy shelf 3.
•Shelves 4, 5, 6, and 7 are available for up to four SCSI hard drives and at
least one is required for the boot drive.
•IDE drives are not supported in this NetServer.
CAUTION Do not connect high voltage differential (HVD) SCSI devices
on the SCSI bus or you will damage the other devices.
1. Remove the Drive Cage by loosening the three captive screws.

CAUTION All mounting screws used to thread into the hard disk drive
must be #6-32 and not exceed ¼-inch in length. Longer
screws may cause internal damage to the mass storage device.
Damage caused by incorrect mounting screws is not covered
by the HP warranty.

5. If necessary, install the internal accessory SCSI cable into SCSI channel B
and connect to the SCSI drives or optional backup tape drive.
Use HP NetServer E 800 External/Internal SCSI Cable Kit, part number
P1773A.

NOTE The slower speed of the tape drive may slow disk access time
for the Ultra-2 SCSI drives. You may connect the tape drive
separately from the Ultra-2 SCSI drives using the optional
internal accessory SCSI cable.

6. If necessary, install the external/internal SCSI cable into SCSI channel B
and connect to the knock-out in the rear of the chassis.
Use HP NetServer E 800 External/Internal SCSI Cable Kit, part number
P1774A.
WARNING Ensure you do not touch the sharp metal edges from the
knock-out once you have removed it. The empty knock-out
leaves sharp metal on the edges.

Step 5: Installing Adapter Boards
•The NetServer E 800 has two PCI (Primary and Secondary) busses and
both are pear-to-pear, which provides approximately equal performance,
except when using the two 64-bit slots versus the 32-bit slots.
PCI Slots PCI Bus
Slots 1 through 4 Primary PCI Bus
Slots 5 through 7 Secondary PCI Bus
NOTE Some full-length PCI boards may need a plastic "handle"
(board extension) on one end to stabilize the board in the
NetServer. If the board requires one and it is not installed, you
may need to install the handle on the board before installing it
in the HP NetServer.

Step 6: Installing a Second Processor
•Both processors must have the same clock speed and cache size.
•Use only processor upgrade kits with the same HP product number.
This ensures the product numbers are compatible and the processor type,
clock speed, and cache size are the same.
CAUTION Do not open the new processor’s protective bag or remove it
from the bag until you are ready to install it.
Always wear a wrist-strap and use a static-dissipating work
surface connected to the chassis when handling components.
Ensure the metal of the wrist strap contacts your skin.
Before you remove a processor from the anti-static container,
touch a grounded, unpainted metal surface on the HP
NetServer to discharge static electricity.
NOTE Some processor speeds listed for this HP NetServer may not be
supported. For the latest support information, visit the HP
web site:

terminator from the socket.
2. Remove the terminator from the processor socket.
