Step 3: Installing M emory
• Use only HP DIMMs, which are 3.3V, 168-pin, PC133 (133 MHz),
buffered SDRAM DIMMs in 128 MB, 256 MB, or 512 MB.
• DIMMs may be installed in any slot, in any combination (sizes mixed), in
any order, but HP recommends starting at slot 0 and filling the slots in
order with the largest size first: 0, 1, 2, and 3.
• Ensure both latches close on the DIMM when completely installed.

Step 4: Installing M ass Storage Dev ices
• The NetServer is internally limited to 7 mass storage shelves.
The flexible disk drive and CD-ROM drive, which are standard on all
models of the HP NetServer E 800, occupy shelves 1 and 2 respectively.
• If a backup tape drive is used, it will occupy shelf 3.
• Shelves 4, 5, 6, and 7 are available for up to four SCSI hard drives and at
lea s t on e is require d for the boot drive.
• IDE dri ves are not supported in this NetServer.
CAUTION Do not connect high voltage differential (HVD) SCSI devices
on the SCSI bus or you will damage the other devices.

NOTE The slower speed of the tape drive may slow disk access time
for the Ultra-2 SCSI drives. You may connect the tape drive
separately from the Ultra-2 SCSI drives using the optional
internal accessory SCSI cable.

6. If necessary, install the external/internal SCSI cable into SCSI channel B
and connect to the knock-out in the rear of the chassis.
Use HP NetServer E 800 External/Internal SCSI Cable Kit, part number
P1774A.

Step 5: Installing A dapter Boards
• Th e NetServer E 800 has two PCI (Primary and Secondary) busses and
both are pear-to-pear, which provides approximately equal performance,
except when usin g t he two 64-bit slots versus the 32-bit slots.
PCI Slots PCI Bus
Slots 1 through 4 Primary PCI Bus
Slots 5 through 7 Secondary PCI Bus
NOTE Some full-length PCI boards may need a plastic "handle"
(board extension) on one end to stabilize the board in the
NetServer. If the board requires one and it is not installed, you
may need to install the handle on the board before installing it
in the HP NetServer.

Step 6: Installing a S econd Processor
• Both pr ocessors must ha ve t he sam e clock speed a nd cache siz e.
• Use only processor upgrade kits with the same HP product number.
This ensures the product numbers are compatible and the processor type,
clock speed, an d cache s ize are th e s ame.
CAUTION Do not open the new pr oc e s s or’s protective bag or remove it
from the bag until you are ready to install it.
Always wear a wrist-strap and use a static-dissipating work
surfa ce connect ed to the chas sis when handli ng components.
Ensure the metal of the wrist strap contacts your skin.
Before you remove a processor from the anti-static container,
touch a grounded, unpainted metal surface on the HP
NetServer to discharge static electricity.

NOTE Some processor speeds listed for this HP NetServer may not be
supported. For the latest support information, visit the HP

CAUTION Failure to properly seat the heatsink-fan assembly on the
processor will cause it to overheat and shutdown the
NetServer within 20 seconds of powerin g on. It i s possible
there would be no messages displayed or the monitor may not
have come on fully in time to see a message if it were
displayed. The processor may be damaged if it is allowed to
overheat.

Step 7: Configur ing the H P NetSer ver
1. Power on the HP NetServer and the monitor:
◊ Insert the HP NetServer Navigat or CD-ROM in t he CD-ROM drive.
◊ The server s hould boot from the HP N e tServer N avig ator CD on its
own, if not, turn the power off, wait 10 seconds and turn the power
back on again.
◊ If the system fails to boot, follow the i nstru c tions on the screen .
◊ Press [F2] to enter Setup, or
◊ Press [F4] to accept automatic configuration update
2. Configure the NetServer and Install the Network Operating System
(NOS):
◊ From the HP NetServer Navigat or Main Menu, view the system
Readme from the HP Navigator main menu for the most current
installation information.
◊ Use the HP NetServer Navigator to configure the server. Start with
either the "Configuration/Installation Assistant" or "C on figu re the
Server" option from the Main Menu (you will see one or the other
depending upon your version of the CD). If you use Navigator’s
Express or Guided modes you will be prompted through the process.
◊ During the configuration process you will be asked to select the NOS
Installation Mode.
NOTE If certain versions of the Novell NetWare or Microsoft
Windows NT Server are used, a prompt will appear indicating
selections of automated or manual NOS installation.
◊ Choose the automated mode for first-time installation of Novell
NetWare or Microsoft Windows 2000 (NT) Server on a
factor y-configured HP E-Series NetServer. You will be guided through
the process by a series of HP display screens.
◊ Perform a manual install if you are installing a NOS other than Novell
NetWare or Microsoft Windows 2000 (NT) Server, you have replaced
HP components (for example, replacing an HP Network Interface Card
(NIC) with a NIC not on HP’s Tested Products List (TPL) or adding a
19
Setting Up the HP NetServer E 800
SCSI controller board from a third-par t y).
You will n eed to use the NOS vendor’s in stallation process. Be sure to
first view and print the HP-customized NOS installation instructions
and create th e driver disk (s) for t he NOS you are installin g before
leaving Navigator and installing your NOS.
3. Install or Configure Tape Backup Software:
◊ If your NetServer includes a preinstalled tape backup device, install
and/or configure the tape backup software now.
Refer to the Tape Backup Getting Started Guide for instructions on
installing and configuring the tape backup software.
4. Refer to the HP NetServer Online Documentation CD-ROM:
◊ Use this CD-ROM for updated information about your HP NetServer
and as reference for any additional information not provided in this
Installation Guide.
NOTE If you plan to use the Remote Console feature to run
HP TopTools utilities remotely, the Utility Partition must be
created using the HP NetServer Navigator . If you choose the
Express or Guided mode of configuration, the partition will be
created automatically. Otherwise, you will need to choose
Install/Update Utility Partition during the custom
configuration process.
5. Run DiagTools: (Optional)
◊ Create the HP DiagTools diskettes from the NetServer Utilities (or
Diskette Library) on the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM.
◊ Run HP DiagTools and after completing all the configuration topics,
save the support ticket to a diskette for future reference.
