Installing Accessory Boards
Use this procedure to install accessory boards and observe the installation
guidelines listed earlier.
1. If the NetServer is already installed and working, power down the
NetServer.
Refer to Chapter 1, "Controls, Ports, and Indicators."
2. Disconnect the power cables and any external cables connected to the
NetServer.
If necessary, label each one to expedite re-assembly.
3. Remove the cover and turn the chassis feet inward.
Refer to Chapter 2, "Opening and Closing the HP NetServer."
This allows the NetServer to lie flat when turned on its side.
WARNING
The power supply will continue to provide standby current to
the NetServer until the power cable is disconnected.
CAUTION
Wear a wrist-strap and use a static-dissipating work surface
connected to the chassis when handling components. Ensure
the metal of the wrist-strap contacts your skin.
4. Lay the NetServer on its side (components showing).
5. Read the documentation included with the accessory board and follow any
special instructions.
NOTE
Adding a PCI-to-PCI bridge board to the HP NetServer may
alter the NetServer’s boot order. This boot order can be
changed using the Setup Utility (press [F2] during the boot
process). Refer to "Boot Priority" earlier in this chapter.
6. Identify the accessory slot number to be used. See Figure 5-1.
