Verifying Proper Operation Of Key System Lights; Pci Installation Tips - HP i2000 Owner's Manual

10.2.2 Verifying Proper Operation of Key System Lights

As POST determines the system configuration, it tests for the presence of each mass-storage
device installed in the system. As each device is checked, its activity light should turn on briefly.
Check for the following:
c
Does the diskette drive activity light turn on briefly? If not, refer LS-120 Drive Activity
Light Does Not Activate or Drive Is Not Detected" on page 115.
c
Does the hard disk drive activity light on the control panel turn on briefly? If not, refer to
"Hard Disk Drive Activity Light Does Not " on page 116.

PCI Installation Tips

Some common PCI installation tips:
Certain devices may require resources that are not shared. It may be necessary to alter
settings where applicable to minimize resource contention or conflicts.
Check PCI resource interdependencies among slots and onboard devices, relocating
adapters to other slots (i.e., PXB bus 0 to WXB bus 1).
/ NOTE
PCI peripherals will not operate if used with 32-bit drivers. At this time, there are a
limited number of Itanium
additional PCI peripherals that do not have current Itanium
/ NOTE
The WXB PCI buses (S2 and slots 1, 2, 3, and 4) support 3.3 V cards, while the PXB PCI
bus (slots 5 and 6) support 5 V cards. Both WXB and PXB PCI buses support universal
cards. Please make certain that the PCI slot used is compatible with the PCI card inserted
in that slot.
/ NOTE
For continued EMC compliance of the system, use only those peripheral devices having an
external output connector (i.e., audio, video), which are marked as FCC tested for home or
office use (FCC Class B), and marked as Canada ICES-003 Class B compliant. For
European installations, these devices are required to be CE marked with declaration of
conformity to the EMC directives (89/336/EEC).
