Upgrading the Processor
The PC Workstation has only one processor slot on the system board and is supplied with either a Pentium II or Pentium II 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™, a Matrox Millennium G200 or an Accel Galaxy AGP.
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).
The Accel Galaxy AGP Graphics card has 31 MB of video memory already supplied on the graphics controller board, which cannot be further upgraded. This card is supported only on the Windows NT operating system. Drivers do not exist for Windows 95 nor Windows 98 operating systems.

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.

1. If the BIOS detects error 2C or 2E (base 512K RAM error), it displays an additional word­bitmap (xxxx) indicating the address line or bits that failed. For example, “2C 0002” means
address line 1 (bit one set) has failed. “2E 1020” means data bits 12 and 5 (bits 12 and 5 set) have failed in the lower 16 bits.
2. For more information, refer to Appendix B.
POST and Error Codes
A list of all POST (Power-On Self-Test) and error codes are available through electronic files from the Support Center.
If you wish to view the POST details, press the key when the Kayak logo is being displayed at power on, and the checkpoint code of the test currently in progress will appear in the upper right corner of the screen. When POST is completed, the HP Summary Screen will appear.

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.
B
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

HP Kayak XM600 PC Workstation Desktop and Minitower BIOS Recovery
B
NOTE: The following BIOS recovery (Crisis Mode) is for the HP
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.

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.
B
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).
