Identifying the Latest Kayak XU PC Workstation

How can I distinguish the difference between the latest HP Kayak XU model Series 0441 and the previous HP Kayak XU models Series 0301 and Series 0303?

There are three simple and quick ways to identify the latest HP Kayak XU model. First, the label on the side of the newer Kayak XU indicating “Series 0441”. Secondly, the processor is an Intel Pentium II Xeon, and finally the system package with reinforced processor cage.

As well as the above-mentioned differences between the two HP Kayak XU models, the Kayak XU Series 0441 model incorporates the new HP designed system board based on the Intel Registered memory modules.

Removing and Replacing the Cover

WARNING: For your safety, never remove the PC’s cover without first removing the

power cord from the power outlet, and any connection to a telecommunication network. Always replace the cover before switching on the PC again.

Removing the Cover

 Switch off the display and computer.

Disconnect all power cords, LAN or telecommunications cable and accessory cables. If necessary, unlock the cover. The lock and key for the cover are at the back of the PC Workstation, just below the rear panel connectors.

 Lift the two latches on the front sides

of the computer upwards.

 Grasp the cover on the sides at the

back of the computer and slide it forwards and off the computer.

Replacing the Cover

 Ensure that the two latches on

the front sides of the cover are lifted up, and that the lock is unlocked. Slide the cover onto the computer, making sure that the two guides at the bottom of the case slide into the two rails at the base of the computer. Firmly slide the cover backwards into position.

 Lower the two latches on the front sides of the cover.

Preparing to Remove the System Board

Due to the fact that the Intel Pentium II Xeon processor weighs about 1 kg, the system board can be damaged because of vibration if it is not securely set in place.

The system board on the Kayak XU Series 0441 PC Workstation is secured to the PC chassis by seven screws. These screws are longer than the standard ones used on the PC Workstation and are not available as spare parts. If you do lose or mislay any of these screws, there are four spare ones located on the front of the chassis (underneath the audio front panel). These screws are to be used uniquely to secure the system board.

Before attempting to remove the system board, you will have to first unscrew these screws. Six of them can be accessed from the outside of the chassis, while the seventh screw is located near PCI Slot 3.

Screw located near PCI Slot 3 that needs to be removed before removing the system board.
