Chapter 6 Installing Additional Boards Tools Required These tools are required for removal and installation of accessories: • T-15 Torx driver • An anti-static service kit (3M 8501/8502/8503 or equivalent). This kit includes a static-dissipating work surface, a chassis clip lead, and a wrist strap. Installing Boards NOTE Some full-length PCI boards have a plastic "handle" (board extender) on one end. If the board you are installing has one, you may need to remove the handle to make the board fit in the HP NetServer. Do not bend the board to make it fit. This procedure tells how to install a PCI board when the system is powered down. Use this procedure to install PCI boards that will not take advantage of the PCI Hot Plug feature. Also use it when you install PCI Hot Plug boards with the system powered down. NOTE Your NOS may not support hot addition of boards. In such cases, the initial installation of a hot-plug board in a hot-plug slot would have to be with system power off. This is mandatory for Windows NT 4.0 users. You can install 32-bit and 64-bit boards in any slot and expect them to operate normally, but: • Only slots P7 through P10 have a 64-bit bus • Only slots P7 through P10 support hot-plug operations To install a board: 1. Read the documentation that is included with the board. Note any special instructions. 2. Log off all users. Back-up files. Follow instructions in your network operating system (NOS) documentation to gracefully shut down all networking software and applications. 53

Tools Required
These tools are required for removal and installation of accessories:
•
T-15 Torx driver
•
An anti-static service kit (3M
8501/8502/8503 or equivalent). This kit
includes a static-dissipating work surface, a chassis clip lead, and a wrist

Installing Boards
NOTE
Some full-length PCI boards have a plastic "handle" (board
extender) on one end. If the board you are installing has one,
you may need to remove the handle to make the board fit in
the HP NetServer. Do not bend the board to make it fit.
This procedure tells how to install a PCI board when the system is powered
down. Use this procedure to install PCI boards that will not take advantage of the
PCI Hot Plug feature. Also use it when you install PCI Hot Plug boards with the
system
powered down.
NOTE
Your NOS may not support hot addition of boards. In such
cases, the initial installation of a hot-plug board in a hot-plug
slot would have to be with system power off. This is
mandatory for Windows NT 4.0 users.
You can install 32-bit and 64-bit boards in any slot and expect them to operate
normally, but:
•
Only slots P7 through P10 have a 64-bit bus
•
Only slots P7 through P10 support hot-plug operations
To install a board:
1.
Read the documentation that is included with the board. Note any special
instructions.
2.
Log off all users. Back-up files. Follow instructions in your network
operating system (NOS) documentation to gracefully shut down all
networking software and applications.
