HP Kayak XA-s DT Series 02xx PC Workstation
Installing a Dual Processor / Replacing a Processor
HP Kayak XA-s PC Workstations are supplied with dual processor slots and
either one or two processors installed. Single processor models can be
upgraded to dual processor systems by installing the second processor
accessory in the vacant slot.
The second processor must be a processor of the same type, speed and level-2
cache memory capacity as the first. It is installed by gently sliding the processor
into the vacant processor connector slot until the two plastic clips at the sides
engage to lock the processor into place.
Every processor that is installed, or replaced, must be accompanied by the
voltage regulator module (VRM) that was supplied with it. Each VRM is specific
to the processor with which it was supplied, and should only be used with that
processor.
NOTE:After installation of a second processor, the operating
system must be reinstalled.

HP Kayak XA-s DT Series 02xx PC Workstation
Main Memory
The PC Workstation has three DIMM slots on the system board for installing
main memory. Models are supplied with 64 MB or 128 MB of main memory.
Memory upgrades are available in single 32 MB 64 MB, 128 MB and 256 MB ECC
unbuffered or non-ECC SDRAM modules.
Memory can be upgraded to a maximum of 768 MB using multiples of
(3 x 256 MB) of unbuffered or non-ECC SDRAM 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
The graphics controller installed on the PC Workstation could be either a
Matrox Productiva G100, a Matrox Millennium G200 or a Matrox Productiva
G100-Quad.
The Matrox Productiva G100 has a total of 8 MB of video memory already
supplied on the graphics controller board which cannot be upgraded.
The Matrox Millennium G200 has a 8 MB of SGRAM memory already supplied
on the graphics controller board. Memory may be upgraded to a maximum of 16
MB by installing a 8 MB SGRAM memory module of onto the board.
The Matrox Productiva G100-Quad graphics card can support a multi-monitor
environment allowing for a custom-configured display solution of up to four
monitors at a time with a total of 16 MB of video memory (4 MB per monitor).
There are three possible configurations: horizontally, vertically, or in a square.
For the above mentioned graphics controllers, no switch or jumper settings
need to be changed (all jumpers should be left in the positions in which they
were set by the manufacturer).

Identifying the LAN/SCSI Combination Board
On HP Kayak XA-s models with the LAN/SCSI combination board, one of two
types of the HP 10/100 SCSI/LAN combination board are installed.
Both LAN/SCSI combination boards have the same functionalities, but there are
some minor differences. Due to this reason, when replacing one board by
another (refer to the note on page 15), caution should be taken to ensure you
have the correct board.
Most HP Kayak XA-s models introduced around 07/98 (CPL) were preinstalled
with the LAN/SCSI combination board (part number 5064-3616) that included
one internal wide SCSI connector. This board does not include a Wake On Lan
(WOL) connector. For the Remote Power On (RPO) feature to work, the
ExtStart cable is used to connect between the External Start connector on the
SCSI/LAN combination board and the HP External Start connector on the
system board.
While, on the most recently introduced Kayak XA-s models, the SCSI/LAN
combination board (part number 5064-6016), includes two SCSI connectors,
one wide and one narrow. However, the internal narrow SCSI connector is not
used on XA-s models (wide SCSI cable used). The SCSI/LAN combination board
also includes a Wake On Lan (WOL) connector. The RPO feature is now made
available through the WOL connector, and no longer through the HP External
Start connector. The HP External Start connector is still used to report LAN
activity and SCSI hard disk drive accesses to the front panel LEDs.
7
How to Identify Which LAN/SCSI Board is Installed
As mentioned earlier, there is no difference between the rear panels of the two
SCSI/LAN boards. To identify which board is installed, you have to check the
board for the above mentioned differences. To do that:
1Shut down the PC Workstation, turn off the computer and disconnect the
power cable. Remove the cover.
2Check the part number:
5064-6016 — Includes two internal SCSI connectors (wide and narrow) and
a WOL connector.
5064-3616 — Includes one internal SCSI connector. The WOL connector is
not available on this board.
If replacing one LAN/SCSI combination board model by the other model, refer
to the note on page 15, for instructions.

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.

B-2 Recovery Boot Active Procedures
Page 26
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:
1Ensure 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
2Turn off the computer.
B
3Set Switch 9 (XA models) or,
Set Switch 10 (XW, XU and XA-s models) to the DOWN position (=on).
4Insert the DOS-bootable diskette (refer to the above warning).
5Power on the computer.
6During 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).
7Power 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
