6 Installing Additional Boards Introduction This chapter tells how to install accessory I/O boards in the HP NetServer LXr 8000. The server supports up to ten full-length PCI boards, four of which support PCI Hot Plug operations. The I/O Baseboard All accessory boards plug into the I/O baseboard at the rear of the server's chassis. The baseboard has the following slots: • Four 64-bit full-length PCI slots. These four slots can support Hot Plug operations for PCI cards with the appropriate driver software. Boards without PCI Hot Plug drivers run normally in these slots, but cannot take advantage of the PCI Hot Plug features. The slots can be used for both 32bit and 64-bit cards. • Five 32-bit PCI full-length slots. • One ISA slot which, if used, physically prevents access to one of the 32-bit PCI slots. • The I/O riser slot. This slot is for an I/O connector board which contains all video, mouse, and keyboard support. 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 interconnecting cabling in accordance with the National Electrical Code. (All Hewlett Packard boards comply with Class 2.) Figure 6-1 shows the I/O baseboard in detail. All models of the server include the I/O connector board and the HP TopTools Remote Control card. NOTE If installed, the HP TopTools Remote Control card must be in slot 2. Its cable connects to I2C connector J1D1 on the I/O baseboard. See Figure 6-1. 49
