than Novell NetWare / IntranetWare or Microsoft Windows NT Server,

or if you replaced HP components. (For example, if you replaced an HP

network interface controller board with a third-party board, install the

against the chassis, so that it snaps into place.

B. To replace the top cover, align both corners of its rear edge

against the metal tabs on the rear of the HP NetServer. Lower

the front of the top cover and pull it forward slightly to catch on

the rear of the chassis and to clear the front edge of the chassis.

Tighten both thumbscrews.

Replace all covers:

Connect the power cord and all other cables.

NOTE

SCSI devices connected to a disk array controller board

(DAC) cannot be displayed at boot time. An ISA non-

Plug-and-Play board cannot be displayed at boot time.

NOTE

To use the Console Redirection feature of Integrated Remote

Assistant to run server management utilities remotely, you

must create the utility partition. "Express" configuration mode

creates it automatically. If you use "Custom" configuration

mode, create the partition by selecting "Install/Update Utility

Partition" from the Custom Configuration menu within

Configuration Assistant.

NOTE

If you have installed an ISA non-Plug-and-Play

accessory board, you must reserve system

resources for it by using the Setup utility. Start the

Setup utility by pressing the F2 function key when

"Press <F2> to enter SETUP" appears on the boot

screen.

When the Setup utility starts, select "Configuration,"

and then select "ISA non-Plug-and-Play Devices."

Use the arrow keys to highlight a selection, press

ENTER to display its options, and use the +/- keys to

change values. When done, save changes and exit.

For more about reserving system resources, refer to

Information Assistant and to "Configuring ISA Non-

Plug-and-Play Board" in the HP NetServer LC  3 

User Guide.

(If the system hangs before the Setup utility starts,

remove the ISA non-Plug-and Play board, run the

Setup utility to reserve system resources for it, and

reinstall the board.)

CAUTION

Replace ALL covers before operating the

HP  NetServer, even for a short time.

Otherwise, overheating can damage

processors, boards, and mass storage

devices.
