Figure 6-1 shows a diagram of a system board which labels the processor board
slots. You might want to use this diagram to mark or highlight the slot (or slots)
on the system board where you will remove a terminator board to install a
200 MHz/1 MB processor board.

Installation Procedure

In the following procedure, you remove a terminator board(s) from the HP
NetServer's processor slots and install a processor board(s) in its place.

CAUTION

The processor board and CPU chips are sensitive to static
electricity, and can be easily damaged by improper handling.
Do the following when handling the accessory kit:

Leave the processor board in the antistatic container until
you are ready to install it.

Use an antistatic wrist strap and a grounding mat.

Before you remove a processor board from the antistatic
container, touch a grounded, unpainted metal surface on
the HP NetServer to discharge static electricity.

1. Log off all users and shut down all networking software and applications.

2. Turn off the HP NetServer. Unlock the power interlock switch on the rear

of the HP NetServer. See Chapter 2 for details.
