CAUTION
To prevent damage to the embedded SCSI controller, don't use a HVD (High
Voltage Differential) device.
External SCSI Connector
The HP Netserver LP 2000r can be configured to extend one of its SCSI channels (typically channel B) to an
external SCSI connector. This allows connection of additional mass storage devices to the second channel
of the Netserver’s embedded controller.
Memory Guidelines
•
The HP Netserver LP 2000r only uses 133 MHz (PC133) SDRAM DIMMs, which are electrically
different from the EDO and PC100 SDRAM memory modules used in previous HP Netserver
models.
•
DIMMs sizes supported are 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, or 1 GB in any combination.
•
Supported memory capacity ranges from 128 MB to 4 GB maximum
(1 GB DIMM in each of the 4 slots).
•
DIMM sizes may be mixed on the system board and may be loaded in any order (1 through 4).
However, HP recommends starting at slot 1 and filling the slots in order with the largest size
first: 1, 2, 3, and 4.
•
Open slots between DIMMs are permitted.
•
When handling DIMMs, observe anti-static precautions to avoid damage.
Processor Configuration Guidelines
The HP Netserver LP 2000r supports a variety of processor speeds with an FSB (front side bus) speed of
133 MHz. The Netserver supports processor speeds at 866 MHz, 933 MHz and 1 GHz.
NOTE
Some processor speeds listed for this HP Netserver may not be supported. For the
latest support information, visit the HP web site:

.
•
Both processors must be the same processor type and have the same product number, which
insures the same clock speed, cache size, and FSB speed.
•
The processors must operate at the designated speed stated by the product type on the
processor.
•
Use only processor upgrade kits with the same HP product number.
This ensures processor type, clock speed, and cache size are the same.
•
Ensure a processor is installed in the primary processor (CPU 1) socket before installing a
processor in the secondary socket (CPU 2).
