Step 1—Preparing for component installation NOTE: Workstation models vary. All illustrations are examples only. Accessing the internal components of the workstation If you need help preparing the workstation for this installation, consult the removal and replacement procedures in the service guide for your workstation at http://www.hp.com/support/ workstation_manuals. - Page 4 Step 2—Installing the front PCI fan in the HP xw8600 Workstation CAUTION: To prevent overheating an HP xw8600 Workstation, a front PCI fan is required when installing the NVIDIA Quadro FX5800 graphics card. If the HP xw8600 Workstation includes dual high- performance graphics cards and lacks a front PCI fan, the BIOS detects an illegal cooling configuration error and reports that the front PCI fan is missing.
