NOTE The processor type and speed is automatically recognized by the BIOS.

1 Ensure that the edges of the processor are lined-up with the processor

connector guide rails along the retention mechanism.

2 Place one hand on the processor’s heatsink and push down onto the

processor connector. You hear two clicks as the retention mechanism pops back, thereby locking the processor into the processor connector.

(VRM) socket on the system board. When installing a second processor, the VRM delivered with the processor accessory kit must be installed in this socket. A VRM is not required on the HP Kayak XM600 PC Workstation.

3 Replace the HP UltraFlow Airflow Guide (refer to page 25). 4 Replace the PC Workstation’s cover (refer to page 24). Reconnect all the

power and telecommunications cables.

This means that no particular switch setting changes are required.

HP DualExpress!

Included with the HP Processor Accessory is the HP DualExpress! application. This application is to be used when upgrading Windows NT from a single-processor to a multi-processor system.

Using an installation Wizard, HP DualExpress! guides you through the operating system upgrade which should take less than five minutes to complete.

Launching HP DualExpress!

The second processor must be installed and the PC booted. For now, Windows NT will still only recognize the original processor. Insert the HP DualExpress! floppy disk in the floppy disk drive and follow the instructions. When the upgrade is complete, the system reboots. This time a multi-processing system is recognized.

Removing, Replacing and Upgrading Memory on Kayak XM600 models

IMPORTANT NOTE This text was updated in December 2000 and replaces all earlier

information on memory replacement in the HP Kayak XM600.

Replacing SDRAM

SDRAM was available on some XM600 models shipped before May 2000. Following an announcement made by the Intel Corporation that SDRAM memory should not be used with the Intel 820 chipset (the chipset used in the Kayak XM600) HP is replacing all SDRAM memory shipped with RDRAM (RAMBUS DRAM) memory.

To determine whether you have SDRAM or RDRAM memory installed, remove the cover of the PC. SDRAM models of the HP Kayak XM600 carry a Memory Expansion Card supporting one or two Synchronized Dynamic RAM (SDRAM) 100 MHz memory modules .

If a memory Expansion Card is installed, as shown below, then the PC contains SDRAM memory.

To carry out the conversion, you should contact HP Support. You will then be able to upgrade with RDRAM memory as described below.

The Memory Expansion Card is installed in a reserved memory socket on the system board. This is the third socket, furthest from the processor(s). The two remaining memory sockets on the system board, RIMM0 and RIMM1 each contain a continuity module.

RIMM0 and RIMM1 sockets each contain a continuity module

Removing the Memory Expansion Card and SDRAM Modules

You cannot upgrade with RDRAM memory until the Memory Expansion Card and all SDRAM memory has been removed.

Switch off the display and PC Workstation. Disconnect all power cables

and any LAN or telecommunications cables.

Remove the PC Workstation’s cover (refer to page 24 for detailed

instructions).

Remove the HP UltraFlow Airflow Guide to obtain access to the SDRAM

modules and sockets on the memory expansion card.

Release the retaining screw located on the Memory Expansion Card.

Then remove the screw from the accessory card socket.

Open the two retainin g cl ips on the system board to release the Memory

Expansion Card, then remove it from the connector.

Remove the memory modules from the old Memory Expansion Card. To

remove a memory module, open the two retaining clips and lift the module out of the socket.

➏

Install the replacement RDRAM module(s) with the necessary

Continuity and Terminator modules in the correct memory slots on the mother board, as described in the following section “Upgrading RDRAM Memory”.

Upgrading RDRAM Memory

RDRAM models of the HP Kayak XM600 PC Workstation support one or two RAMBUS Direct RAM (RDRAM) memory modules

NOTE Use only the HP memory modules provided for your PC model. If you want

to find out about available accessories for your PC, refer to the HP Accessories Web site at:

If only one

one RDRAM module is installed

oneone

• it must be installed in the socket RIMM0, nearest the processor(s)

• the socket RIMM1 must contain an RDRAM Continuity Module

• the socket RIMM2 must contain an RDRAM Terminator Module.

If two

two RDRAM modules are installed

two two

• they must be installed in the two sockets nearest the processor(s),

RIMM0 and RIMM1

• ECC and non-ECC modules can be mixed, but if this is done, all memory

will operate in non-ECC mode

• the socket RIMM2 must contain an RDRAM Terminator Module.
