Firmware and Software Changes
This section deals with the firmware changes provided by the HP NetServer
Navigator CD-ROM and the possible reinstalling of the NOS to recognize the
second processor.
Upgrading the Firmware
If your processor included a new HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM, insert the
CD into the HP NetServer E 800 CD-ROM drive and power on the NetServer.
Follow the instructions provided on screen to ensure the system BIOS is
up-to-date. The system BIOS on the CD will be compared to the NetServer’s
current BIOS, and if necessary, will indicate to you the BIOS needs to be updated.
Refer to Chapter 8, "Configuring the HP NetServer," for more information.
Reinstalling the NOS
You may have to reconfigure or reinstall your NOS in order to use the additional
processor. If you have gone from a uni-processor to dual-processor configuration,
check your NOS documentation or the Readme file and Configuration Advisor
utilities on the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM.
Removing a Processor and Heatsink
Use this procedure to remove a processor and its heatsink. The heatsink and
cooling fan must be removed first, before removing the processor.
CAUTION Always 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.
Before you touch the processor to remove it, touch a grounded
unpainted metal surface on the HP NetServer to discharge
static electricity.
NOTE If you need to remove the primary processor (CPU 1), you may
find it necessary to remove the power and system fan
connectors to access the primary processor.
