Use only 100 MHz SDRAM DIMMs. Do not use EDO memory modules from

earlier LC models, which may fit but will not function correctly.
Use only HP DIMMs listed on the Technical Reference Label located inside

the HP NetServer top cover, in Information Assistant, or on Order Assistant.
DIMMs can be 64 MB, 128 MB, or 256 MB in any combination.
DIMMs can be installed in any order in any of the four DIMM sockets.

with its component-side up on a static-dissipating

work surface. Lay the board flat, with the metal crosspiece on the top rear

corner of the system board extending OFF the work surface, as shown at right.

3.

On a DIMM slot, spread the clips. Align notches on the

DIMM with keys on the socket. Hold the DIMM at 90 degrees to the board;

insert it fully until the retaining clips close. If the clips do not close, the DIMM is

not inserted correctly.

Available Slots:

Six accessory board slots exist on the backplane:

Slots 2 through 6 accept 32-bit PCI boards:

Slot 6 has a network interface controller (NIC) preinstalled.
Slot 5 may have optional disk array controller board (DAC).

Slot 1 accepts a 16-bit ISA board or a 32-bit PCI board.

included with each accessory board. Follow

installation recommendations. Some boards have preferred slot locations. If

not, consider the boot order when selecting the slot to use in the backplane.

See "Default Boot Device Priority" below.

2.

For accessories in slot 5 or 6, with covers off, lift the

retaining latches and raise the system board (5 inches or 12 cm) by grasping its

top edge.

for each slot to be used, and store it for future

use. If you are installing full-length PCI boards, also remove the board retainer

as shown. Push the button and lift it up and out of the board guide.

4.

Insert each board in the desired slot and fasten its mounting

screw. Connect required cables to the boards. If you removed the board

retainer, put it back.

5.

If you raised the system board, lower it. To do so,

hold the retaining latches vertical and push the board it firmly into its slot. Lower

the retaining latches simultaneously to secure the board.

Remove the board slot cover

NOTE For a list of boards HP has tested, see Help topic "Tested

Products List" on the HP Navigator CD-ROM. The Readme file on the

HP Navigator CD-ROM contains the latest configuration information.

NOTE If you install an ISA non-Plug-and-Play board, you MUST reserve

system resources (some or all of: memory addresses, I/O addresses, IRQs,

and DMA channels) for it. Write down that information for use in Step 11.

Accessory Board Connectors

An accessory board can be identified by the offset of the bracket

and the shape of the edge connector:

Default Boot Device Priority

Boot order for PCI controllers is determined by slot location. The system

searches for a bootable device in the following order:

1. IDE CD-ROM drive with a bootable CD-ROM
2. Flexible disk drive with a bootable flexible disk
3. Embedded SCSI controller
4. PCI boards in slots in the following order: 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

The default order can be changed in the Setup Menu.

Extending System Board

1.

Raise the system board by its

retaining latches, then grasp the top edge of board and lift it out.

Remove the system board:

4.

If you are upgrading video memory, insert the video

memory chips in their sockets. Be sure the dot on each chip aligns with the

arrow on the corresponding socket.

5.

Insert the plastic rails on the system board into

the metal guides on the chassis. Push the system board into its socket. Lower

the retaining latches both at the same time so the board seats firmly.

Upgrade video memory:

Reinsert the system board:

CAUTION

The metal crosspiece shown by the arrow must be
