Upgrading The Firmware; Testing The Processor; Re-Installing The Nos; Removing A Processor Module - HP D7171A - NetServer - LPr Installation Manual

Chapter 7

Upgrading the Firmware

Load the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM. It will advise you if the BIOS
version on the CD is newer than the BIOS on the HP NetServer and ask you if you
want to update the BIOS. Choose Continue, and then NetServer Utilities to
update the BIOS if necessary.

Testing the Processor

After you power on the NetServer, check boot messages to see whether or not the
system detects the additional processor. If boot messages indicate that the
additional processor has not been found, make sure the processor re-test function
in the Setup Utility is set to enabled.
If the boot messages still fail to report two processors, reinstall the NOS.

Re-installing the NOS

You may have to re-install your Network Operating System in order to use the
additional processor. If you have gone from an uni-processor to multi-processor
configuration, check your NOS documentation or the Readme First file and
Configuration Advisor utilities on the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM.
This completes the installation of the additional processor and VRM.

Removing a Processor Module

Use the same procedure as above, and simply remove rather than add. BE SURE
to remove the associated VRM and replace the terminator.
