Chapter 3 Installing and Configuring 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 323. IRQ Settings The IRQ settings are automatically assigned and do not require user intervention. The HP Server uses the Plug-and-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. By default the Server searches for boot devices in the following order depending on the Server model: IDE Model Boot Order: 1. Flexible disk drive 2. IDE CD-ROM drive 3. IDE hard drive (boot drive) 4. PCI slot P1 (32-bit slot) 5. PCI slot P2 (32-bit slot) 6. PCI slot P3 (32-bit slot) 37

Installing and Configuring
Tools Required
These tools may be needed for preparing the accessory boards for installation in the Server:
±²
Torx T-15 screwdriver
±²
¼-inch flat blade screwdriver
±²
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
Plug-and-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.
By default the Server searches for boot devices in the following order depending on the Server model:
IDE Model Boot Order:
1. Flexible disk drive
2. IDE CD-ROM drive
3. IDE hard drive (boot drive)
4. PCI slot P1 (32-bit slot)
5. PCI slot P2 (32-bit slot)
6. PCI slot P3 (32-bit slot)
