** Both SCSI channels (A and B) can each support up to 15 devices; however, there are only enough internal
storage bays for three Hot Swap SCSI hard drives. Channel B is used to control external SCSI devices, typically a
SCSI tape back-up device.
Memory Guidelines
•
The HP Netserver LP 1000r only uses 133 MHz (PC133) buffered SDRAM DIMMs, which are
electrically different from the EDO and PC100 SDRAM memory modules used in other HP
Netserver models.
•
DIMMs sizes supported are 256 MB, 512 MB, or 1 GB in any combination.
•
Supported memory capacity ranges from 256 MB to 4 GB maximum
(1 GB in each of the 4 DIMM slots). The minimum capacity is 256 MB (one DIMM).
•
DIMM sizes may be mixed on the system board and may be loaded in any order (0 through 3).
However, HP recommends starting at slot 0 and filling the slots in order with the largest size
first: 0, 1, 2, and 3.
•
Open slots between DIMMs are permitted.
•
When handling DIMMs, observe anti-static precautions to avoid damage.
To ensure you have the correct DIMMs before installation, refer to one of the following for a list of qualified
DIMMs:

Accessory Board Guidelines
The HP Netserver LP 1000r provides one 64-bit PCI slot connected to a riser board on the system board,
which will handle a full-length 32-bit or 64-bit PCI accessory board.
Tested PCI Boards
For a list of tested PCI boards, check for compatibility under the Hardware Tested Products list for the HP
Netserver LP 1000r under the Service and Support topic for the specific NOS used in the Netserver at HP’s
web site:

CAUTION
Some accessory board outputs may exceed U.S. National Electrical code (NFPA
70) Class 2 or limited power source limits and must use appropriate inter-connecting
cabling in accordance with the National Electrical Code. (All HP boards comply with
Class 2.)
