Replacing the Processor

The PC Workstation has only one processor slot on the system board and is supplied with either a Pentium II or Pentium III processor which includes an integrated heatsink, level-1 and level-2 cache memory.

The processors are contained on a module which is installed in the processor socket and is held in place by a bracket. To remove the processor, press the two plastic clips towards each other and pull the processor out of its connector.

Cache Memory

512 KB of level-two cache memory is integrated in the Pentium II Slot 1 processor package.

Main Memory

The PC Workstation has three DIMM slots on the system board for installing main memory; slots Mem 1, Mem 2 and Mem 3. Models are supplied with 64 MB of non-ECC main memory. Memory upgrades are only available in single 32 MB, 64 MB, 128 MB or 256 MB unbuffered ECC SDRAM modules.

Memory can be upgraded to a maximum of 768 MB using multiples of (3 x 256 MB) of unbuffered ECC memory modules.

A serial EEPROM on each DIMM contains data on the memory speed. This information is read at each power on, and access time settings are set accordingly.

Video Memory Upgrade

The graphics controller installed on the PC Workstation could be either an

ELSA GLoria Synergy™ or a Matrox Millennium G200.

The Matrox Millennium G200 has a total of 8 MB of video memory already supplied on the graphics controller board. Memory may be upgraded to a maximum of 16 MB by installing a memory module of 8 MB onto the board. No switch or jumper settings need to be changed.

The ELSA GLoria Synergy includes 4 MB of video SGRAM memory installed on the graphics board. Added to this, there is a pre-installed 4 MB SO_DIMM video memory module, giving a total of 8 MB (this is the maximum amount of video memory possible).

Beep, POST, and Error Codes

Beep Codes

If an error occurs during the POST, which prevents the PC Workstation from starting, and before the display device has been initialized, a series of beep codes are issued. Beep codes indicate that a fatal error has occurred and can be reported one after another if there is more than one detected error. In this case, the first detected error is the most important.

These codes are useful for identifying the error when the system is unable to display the error message.

Recovery Boot Active Procedures

HP Kayak XU800 PC Workstation BIOS Recovery

NOTE: The following BIOS recovery (Crisis Mode) is for the HP

Kayak XU800 PC Workstation models only.

If for some reason the BIOS is corrupted and the standard flash cannot be used, use the BIOS Recovery Mode (exceptional BIOS recovery operation) to restore the BIOS.

The following recovery operation is also documented in the flash.txt file which is supplied with the downloaded BIOS files.

To restore the BIOS:

1 Copy the BIOS files on to the floppy disk. 2 Rename the file AI11xx.rom to amiboot.rom. 3 Shut down the PC Workstation. 4 Power off the PC Workstation and remove the power cord and cables. 5 Remove the cover. 6 Set switch 1 to the DOWN position. 7 Insert the floppy disk into the floppy disk drive. 8 Reconnect the power cord and switch on the PC Workstation. 9 The PC Workstation boots from the floppy disk, then flashes the BIOS.

However, it should be noted that during the flash process, the screen remains

blank. MaxiLife will display a message on the LCD panel “RECOVERY

MODE”. 10 The recovery process is finished when there are four beeps. 11 Power off the PC Workstation. Remove the floppy disk from the drive.

Remove the power cord. 12 Set switch 1 back to the UP position. 13 Replace the cover, reconnect the power cord, then reboot the PC

Workstation.

Kayak XM600 Desktop and Minitower PC Workstations only.

If for some reason the BIOS is corrupted and the standard flash cannot be used, use the BIOS Recovery Mode (exceptional BIOS recovery operation) to restore the BIOS. To do this:

1 Obtain a bootable DOS floppy disk. 2 Copy the BIOS files on to the floppy disk.

The latest system BIOS (standard flash operation) can be downloaded from

HP’s Support Web site at: http://www.hp.com/go/kayaksupport. Then select

HP Kayak XM600 PC Workstation.

Instructions on updating the BIOS are supplied with the downloaded BIOS

files and a BIOS flash utility (flash.txt). 3 Create (or edit) the file, AUTOEXEC.BAT This should contain a single line of

text: “phlash /c /mode=3 IC1105US.FUL”

(rename the BIOS filename with the one on the floppy disk). 4 Shut down the PC Workstation. 5 Power off the PC Workstation and remove the power cord. 6 Remove the cover. 7 Set switch 7 to the ON position. 8 Insert the floppy disk into the floppy disk drive. 9 Reconnect the power cord and switch on the PC Workstation. 10 The PC Workstation boots from the floppy disk, then flashes the BIOS.

However, it should be noted, that during the flash process, the screen

remains blank. 11 The recovery process is finished when there is one very long beep. 12 Power off the PC Workstation. Remove the floppy disk from the drive.

Remove the power cord. 13 Set switch 7 back to the OFF position. 14 Replace the cover, reconnect the power cord, then reboot the PC

Workstation.

B-2 Recovery Boot Active Procedures

Force BIOS flash, Switch 9 (XA models) or

10 (XW and XA-s models) Down Position

WARNING: WARNING: For Kayak XU Series 03xx, XA-s Series

02xx and XA Series 05xx, a specific ‘Mini-Dos’ bootable disk has to be used. An image of this ‘Mini-Dos’ bootable floppy can be obtained from the Alps/Info server (not available from the external web site). If you do not have access to the Alps/Info server, contact your escalation team.

If, for example, during a BIOS flash, the procedure is interrupted by a power failure, and the system does not restart, then you can force a BIOS flash. However, it should be noted that during the procedure, there is no image on the

screen, nor access to the keyboard or mouse (only “vital” devices that are required to boot on the floppy device are initialized).

To force a BIOS flash, do the following steps:

1 Ensure that you have created a DOS-bootable diskette. This floppy diskette

contains all the recovery and system BIOS programming software

(phlash.exe, platform.bin and hb1xxxyy.Ful). Include the flash command in

the autoexec.bat, for example: phlash /mode=3 hb1xxxyy.Ful 2 Turn off the computer. 3 Set Switch 9 (XA models) or,

Set Switch 10 (XW, XU and XA-s models) to the DOWN position (=on). 4 Insert the DOS-bootable diskette (refer to the above warning). 5 Power on the computer. 6 During the recovery process, short beeps are emitted. The recovery process

is finished when there is a much longer beep (approximately around 1 to 2

minutes). 7 Power off the computer. Press the power ON/OFF button (for about 5

seconds), until the ON/OFF light switches off. Set the switch 10 to the UP

position (=off).
