Accessory Board Guidelines

To install accessory boards, during initial installations, into the I/O board, perform the following procedures.
The I/O board is under the top cover of the LH 6000r and under the left cover of the LH 6000.
Use the respective NOS software utility to
l
Ensure the correct software drivers for the PCI board are loaded
◊
Verify correct operation
◊
Shut down power to hot plug slots
◊
CAUTION
Slots 1, 2, 3, and 4 are non-hot plug; slots 5, 6, 7, and 8 are hot plug.
l
For optimal performance, add PCI boards to slots 7 and 8, which at 66 MHz and 64 bit, are the
l
fastest.
Consider the boot priority prior to installing accessory boards, but after configuring the HP
l
NetServer.
Some accessory board outputs may exceed U.S. National Electrical code (NFPA 70) Class 2 or
l
power source limits and must use appropriate interconnecting cabling in accordance with the
National Electrical Code. (All Hewlett Packard boards comply with Class 2.)
You can configure the HP NetServer to boot from a PCI-based DAC inserted into a PCI slot.
l
Use the Symbios Configuration Utility to select a different PCI slot when scanning for boot
devices.
Slots 7 and 8 accept universal boards. Universal boards automatically switch to accept power
l
from a +5.0 or +3.3 VDC.

Hot Addition and Replacement of Hot Plug PCI Boards

The PCI Hot Plug option is NOS-dependent. To use the Hot Plug option, the PCI board must have a hot plug
compliant driver and a Hot Plug Utility for the respective NOS. The Hot Plug Utility is used to turn power
off/on to the PCI slot, while the HP NetServer continues to operate normally.
9.1, 18.2 or 36 GB, Ultra-2, 7200 or 10000 rpm drives (up to 35W)
9.1 or 18.2 GB Ultra/Wide or Single-Ended SCSI Drives, 7200 or 10000 rpm
drives
DAT backup systems with SCSI DDS3, or DLT Tape Drives
Do not attempt to install or remove non-hot plug PCI boards with the HP NetServer
in any kind of sleep state, or a system crash or hang may occur.
