Chapter 3 Installing and Configuring Tested PCI Boards For a list of tested PCI boards, check for compatibility in the Hardware Tested Products list for the hp server tc2120 under the Technical Support topic for the specific NOS used in the server at HP's web site at: http://www.hp.com/ 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. NOTE All Hewlett-Packard accessory boards comply with the U.S. National Electrical code (NFPA 70) Class 2. Tools Required These tools may be needed for preparing the accessory boards for installation in the server: • Torx T-15 screwdriver • ¼-inch flat blade screwdriver • 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. Guidelines The following sections provide the guidelines necessary to install the PCI accessory boards into the server. NOTE Some full-length PCI boards may need a plastic "handle" (board extension) on one end to stabilize the board in the server. If the board requires one and it is not installed, you may need to install the handle on the board, before installing it in the hp server. See Figure 3-23. IRQ Settings The IRQ settings are automatically assigned and do not require user intervention. The hp server uses the Plugand-Play feature of the PCI boards to correctly assign its resources automatically. Boot Priority The server's boot priority (BIOS search order for a boot drive) should be considered when selecting a PCI slot on the system board. This is especially important if you are installing a board that requires an early number in the boot order. The accessory board's boot priority is set by its slot location in the boot order. See Figure 3-19. If the single SCSI controller board is used to control internal SCSI drives (SCSI model), it will be early in the boot order. The single SCSI controller board has two SCSI connectors, but only one SCSI connector can be active at a time. The server scans the active SCSI connector for a boot device starting at device ID 0 and works up from there. 36
