Chapter 6 Installing Additional Boards Tools Required l Torx 15 driver • An antistatic service kit (3M 8501/8502/8503 or equivalent). This kit includes a static-dissipating work surface, a chassis clip lead, and a wrist strap. IRQ Settings The BIOS automatically assigns hardware interrupts (IRQs) for each PCI slot and embedded device installed in the NetServer during the boot sequence. These assignments trigger the NOS to enable the Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller (APIC). The APIC takes advantage of the expanded set of non-conflicting IRQs for those accessory boards that require more than one IRQ per slot. WARNING Ensure that all PCI slot levers are closed before booting the system. Boot Priority Some accessory boards have preferred slot locations. For those boards that do not, consider the boot order when installing the board in a PCI slot. The boot priority follows: 1. IDE CD-ROM drive with a bootable CD-ROM. 2. Flexible disk drive with a bootable flexible disk. 3. Embedded SCSI controller or integrated HP NetRAID controller. 4. PCI accessory boards in the following order: Slots 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1. You can change the boot order by using the Setup utility. Press [F2] during the boot process as described in Chapter 10, Configuring the HP NetServer.
