Installing Accessories
This chapter deals with installing those accessories not covered by the
installation road map for your HP NetServer E 45. If you are installing SCSI
mass storage devices, PCI accessory boards, or ISA Plug-and-Play accessory
boards, consult the road map. The following accessories are discussed in this
chapter:
• IDE CD-ROM drive
• IDE hard disk drive.
• ISA non-Plug-and-Play accessory boards
Installing I DE Dev ices
The HP NetServer E 45 chassis contains six mass-storage shelves. The front four
shelves (shelves 1–4) allow for the installation of a 3.5" flexible disk drive and
three 3.5" or 5.25" mass storage devices. The rear shelves (shelves 5 and 6) allow
for the installation of two 3.5" mass storage devices. An IDE CD-ROM drive is
installed in shelf 2 below the floppy disk drive in shelf 1.
IDE Jumpers
Each IDE device has a jumper labeled "MA" (master), "SL" (slave), and "CS”
(cable select).This three-position jumper determines whether the device is to
function as a master device or a slave device.
• If you want the device to function as the master or slave device,
determined by which connector on the cable the device is connected to
(master connector or slave connector), set the jumper to "CS.” The
location of the IDE device on the cable will determine the function of the
device (as master or slave) when the jumper is set to "CS.” If the device
is connected to the master connector (the connector closest to the system
board) it will function as the IDE master device. If the device is
connected to the slave connector (the connector at the end of the cable) it
will function as the IDE slave device.
15
Page 22
Chapter 4Accessories
NOTEWhenever adding devices to, or changing the location of
devices on the IDE cable, set the jumper to "CS" on all devices
connected to the cable.
• If you want the device to be the master device on this cable, set the jumper
to "MA.” No matter what connector on the cable the device is connected
to, it will function as the IDE master device.
• Likewise, if you want the device to be the slave device on the cable, set the
jumper to "SL.” No matter what connector on the cable the device is
connected to, it will function as the IDE slave device.
IDE Cabling
There is one IDE cable supplied with your HP NetServer. It plugs into the
connector on the system board labeled "Secondary IDE Channel" (the lower
connector). There are two device connectors on the cable. The first device
connector is connected to the preinstalled IDE CD-ROM drive. The second
device connector can be used for an additional IDE CD-ROM drive. Whichever
device is connected to the first device connector (not at the end of the cable) is
the “master”, and the device connected to the second device connector (at the end
of the cable) is the “slave.”
NOTEDo not connect an IDE hard disk to the same cable that is
connected to the preinstalled CD-ROM drive. This may result
in degraded performance of the hard disk.
If you want to install an IDE hard disk, you will need to purchase an extra IDE
cable and connect it to the connector on the system board labeled "Primary IDE
Channel" (the upper connector). Connect the first device connector on the cable
(not the connector at the end of the cable) to the hard disk drive.

Troubleshootin g Sequen ce
To troubleshoot an installation problem, do the following:
• First make sure that the system is configured properly. Most system
problems are the result of incorrect system and SCSI subsystem
configurations.
• If it is a network-related error, determine if the server has enough memory
and hard disk drive capacity. Consult your network operating
system manual.
• Verify that all cables and boards are securely plugged into their
appropriate connectors or slots.
• Remove all added options and always change one thing, and only one
thing, at a time.
NOTEIf the NetServer has a large amount of memory installed, it
may take 30 seconds for the first screen to display.

within a reasonable amount of time, Customer's alternate remedy shall be a
refund of the purchase price upon return of the hardware accessory product.
HP/Colorado Memory Systems internal tape drives are not covered by this
warranty--they are covered under a replacement warranty included with the
product.
HP products external to the system processor unit, such as external storage
subsystems, printers, or other peripherals, are covered by the applicable warranty
for those products.
Third-Party Hardware Products
HP does not warrant third-party hardware products. Third-party hardware
products may be warranted in accordance with the third-party warranty statement
accompanying the product. On-site visits caused by third-party hardware
products--whether internal to the HP NetServer system processor unit (such as
48
Page 55
Appendix CWarranty and Software License
non-HP SIMMs) or external to the system processor unit (such as LAN cabling)-are subject to standard per-incident travel and labor charges.
Limitation of Warranty
HP does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of an HP NetServer.
This warranty extends only to the original owner and is not transferable.
Consumables, such as batteries, have no warranty.
The above warranties shall not apply to products from which serial numbers have
been removed or to defects resulting from misuse (including operation of HP
NetServers without covers and incorrect input voltage), unauthorized
modification, operation or storage outside the environmental specifications for
the product, in-transit damage, improper maintenance, or defects resulting from
use of third-party software, accessories, media, supplies, consumables, or such
items not designed for use with the product.
HP makes no other express warranty, whether written or oral, with respect
to this product. Any implied warranty or merchantability or fitness is
limited to the one-year duration of this written warranty. Some states or
provinces do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so
the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may also have other rights
that vary from state to state or province to province.
Limitation of Liability and Remedies
In no event will HP or its affiliates, subcontractors, or suppliers be liable for any
of the following:
1. Damages for loss of data, or software restoration;
2. Damages relating to Customer's procurement of substitute products or
services (i.e., "cost of cover");

of use, Customer downtime, cost of data recovery/re-creation), even if HP
is informed of their possibility;
4. Third-party claims against Customer for losses or damages.
HP NetServers are not specifically designed, manufactured or intended for sale as
parts, components or assemblies for the planning, construction, maintenance, or
direct operation of a nuclear facility. Customer is solely liable if Products or

HP NetServer Warranty Frequently-Asked
Questions
Q: What is the intention of the HP NetServer Warranty?
A: The HP NetServer Warranty is intended to protect you from any defects in
workmanship or materials of the hardware product for a period of time
after your purchase. Though some limited technical support is available
during the warranty period to assist you with installation and setup, the
HP NetServer Warranty is NOT a substitute for network or server
application support services to assist you during normal operation of your
HP NetServer.
Q: When does the warranty begin?
A: HP's warranty begins when you receive your HP NetServer.
Q: What is the warranty on HP hardware add-ons to the HP NetServer?
A: There are two scenarios to consider here: whether the HP NetServer
Hardware Accessory was purchased with the HP NetServer; or separately
at some later date. If the HP NetServer Hardware Accessory was
purchased with the server, then the accessory can take on the warranty of
the server, except as noted in the warranty statement. If the accessory was
purchased after the initial server purchase, then the accessory has a one
year Return-to-HP/Reseller warranty, OR assumes the remaining warranty
of the original HP NetServer in which it is installed, whichever is longer.
Q: What are some examples of HP NetServer Hardware Accessories that
would qualify?
A: Accessories that are specifically designed to be used with HP NetServers,
such as HP memory modules, HP disk drives, and HP processor upgrade
kits, that are integrated into the system processor unit are some examples
of accessories that qualify. Additionally, these accessories must be listed
as products on HP's Corporate Price List.
Q: What about HP Printers or HP External Storage Subsystems?
A: Accessories or peripherals, external to the HP NetServer system processor
unit, carry their own warranty. Check the documentation accompanying
the product for additional information.
60
Page 67
Appendix CWarranty and Software License
Q: Will adding third-party memory or disk drives void the warranty?
A: Adding third-party memory or disk drives does not void the warranty.
However, there are some implications when you need technical support.
For example, when the memory used may relate to the problem you are
experiencing, you will be asked to remove the third-party memory to
confirm the problem still exists before a service provider is dispatched. HP
does not cover on-site visits caused by third-party products, whether
internal or external to the HP NetServer system processor unit.
Q: What is not covered by this limited warranty?
A: The following are some examples of items that are not covered:
◊◊Product purchased from anyone other than HP or an Authorized HP
Reseller;
◊◊Consumables such as batteries;
◊◊Software products, except for HP-developed utility software;
◊◊Routine cleaning, or normal cosmetic and mechanical wear;
◊◊Damage from misuse, abuse, or neglect;
◊◊Damage from use outside the product's usage or storage parameters;
◊◊Damage from use of parts not manufactured or sold by HP;
◊◊Damage from modification or incorporation into other products;
◊◊Damage from repair or replacement of warranted parts by other than
HP or an Authorized Service Provider;
◊◊Damage to or loss of any programs, data, or removable storage media.
Q: How will my HP NetServer be serviced during the warranty period?
A: Depending on the component needing repair or replacement, HP or your
reseller will select one of three options for servicing your HP NetServer.
Service will be provided at your premises or "on-site", by the Return-to-
HP/Reseller process, or by the Customer Replacement Part process.
Q: What is the Customer Replacement Part process?
A: HP NetServer components, such as the keyboard, mouse, and selected
other components, can be sent directly to you to replace at your
convenience. HP will prepay shipping charges, duty, and taxes; provide
telephone assistance on replacement of the component; and pay shipping
charges, duty, and taxes for components to be returned to HP.
61
Page 68
Appendix CWarranty and Software License
Q: What is the response time for on-site warranty service?
A: The standard response time for on-site warranty service is end of next
business day. All response commitments are based on commercially
reasonable efforts by HP and HP Authorized Service Providers.
Q: Can I keep the defective part that is being replaced?
A: No. All removed parts, in their entirety, become the property of HP. The
replacement part then becomes your property.
Q: What is the warranty on the replacement part?
A: The replacement part assumes the remaining warranty of the part it
replaces.
Q: Are product upgrades, such as new drivers or BIOS, eligible for on-site
warranty service?
A: Product upgrades, such as new revisions of drivers or BIOS, are not
eligible for on-site services under warranty. Self-help tools, described later
in this document, are available for you to download drivers at the
recommendation of HP or your reseller support representative. If you need
professional services to assist you with upgrades, contact your reseller or
HP.
Q: If I have a hardware failure, how will my HP NetServer be restored?
A: HP or your reseller will restore your HP NetServer to factory original
hardware functionality. You are responsible for restoring any Network
Operating System, applications, or data. Therefore, it is important that
you back up your software and data, and keep them in a secure location in
case you need to reconstruct lost or altered files, data, or programs.
62
Page 69
Appendix CWarranty and Software License
Q: What are my options if I want network or server application software
support?
A: Network or server application software support services are available to
complement the HP NetServer Warranty. Examples of these services
include:
◊◊Per-incident bundled (5-pack or 10-pack) network support,
◊◊Annual network support, and
◊◊Annual network support and server application support.
Additionally, these services can be customized to your business
requirements (standard hours or 7x24 coverage) to provide a total
hardware and software solution. These services are available from HP or
an Authorized HP Reseller at additional charge.
Q: What are my responsibilities during warranty?
A: Your responsibilities, before service is provided under warranty, include
the following:
a. Have the HP NetServer system administrator available for consultation
with HP or your reseller support representative; and
b. Run HP-supplied configuration and diagnostics programs or follow the
problem determination, problem analysis, and service request
procedures that HP or your reseller support representative provides.
c. In many cases, your problem can be resolved over the telephone or the
problem can be further isolated so that the correct parts are identified
if on-site service is necessary.
Q: Where can I find warranty documentation?
A: The HP NetServer is packaged with warranty and service information that
details the warranty terms and conditions. The warranty and service
information is the legal warranty document and contains information on
your warranty coverage type and length.
Q: What can I do to optimize the reliability of my system and the integrity of
my data?
A: For maximum system reliability and data integrity, here are some
recommendations:
a. Ensure that all HP NetServer covers, panels, and board retainers are in
place to provide proper airflow whether the system is free-standing,
rack-mounted, or being shipped;
63
Page 70
Appendix CWarranty and Software License
b. Establish and practice back-up procedures for your data and programs
to minimize any disruptions to your business in case of a hardware
failure; and
c. Use current driver and software revision levels to optimize your server
environment.
Q: Is the warranty still valid if I ship my HP NetServer to another location
within my company?
A: The warranty is valid as long as the HP NetServer remains in the country
where you purchased it. When shipping or transporting an HP NetServer,
use proper care in packaging and securing the unit. Any damages will be
your responsibility that you will have to address with your transportation
carrier.
Q: If I sell my HP NetServer during the warranty period, is the warranty
transferable to the new owner?
A: No, the warranty only applies to the original owner.
Q: How do I obtain technical support?
A: During the warranty period, telephone technical support is available to
assist with setup, configuration, startup, and troubleshooting of your
hardware product. For a listing of support telephone numbers and other
support services, see Appendix D, "Service and Support" in this User
Guide.
Q: What information do I need to provide when I call for technical support?
A: To enable HP to assist you more quickly and efficiently, please follow this
checklist:
a. Consult the documentation provided with your product to assure that
your system features are properly configured.
b. Execute the diagnostics provided and record the information. Consult
the accompanying documentation for instructions.
c. Record the following information:
∗ Product model name and number
∗ Product serial number
∗ Applicable error messages from system or diagnostics
∗ Applicable hardware driver revision levels
64
Page 71
Appendix CWarranty and Software License
∗ Add-on boards or hardware
∗ Third-party hardware or software
∗ Operating system type and revision level
Q: How can I track changes that could affect the operation of my HP
NetServer?
A: Many customers have found it extremely useful to keep a system log. This
could be a simple binder with a log of when hardware, software, and
firmware changes are made, copies of proof of purchase documents for
the HP NetServer and all accessories, and copies of key configuration
files. The ongoing investment of a few minutes to document changes will
enable HP or your reseller to assist you more quickly and efficiently.
Q: What can I do to stay current on product updates or enhancements to my
server?
A: Self-help tools are available that enable you to obtain technical
information, download product updates, or participate in interactive
forums with other HP NetServer customers. These tools are available for
you to use 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. More detailed information
regarding these tools may be obtained at the HP home page on the Internet
World Wide Web.

System Design, Integration, and Support
The hardware, utility software, and any operating system or environment
software supplied by Hewlett-Packard provide an enhanced, industry-standard
base. A network operating system, utilities, and application software have been
added to create your complete system.
The most effective source of system and software support is the organization that
designed and configured your complete system. This can be a reseller, a
consultant, or your company’s information systems department.
The organization that worked with you to define your application and
configuration—including hardware or software not supplied by HP—knows your
unique operating procedures and can provide local, personal, and uniquely
responsive support.
Your Authorized HP Reseller is backed by special HP resources; your company’s
information systems department is normally backed by a Response Center
telephone support contract from HP.
If you have designed and configured the system yourself, you are filling the role
of reseller, consultant, or information systems department yourself—and you
must work with the different hardware and software manufacturers to obtain
assistance. Refer to each manufacturer’s documentation for information on
obtaining telephone support, repair service, World Wide Web, Internet FTP,
BBS, and/or automated fax support. If you are performing system integration, we
recommend that you subscribe to CompuServe, as described later in this
appendix.
For topics that require on-site visits or continuing contact, such as network
design, performance tuning, and mainframe communication, paid consulting is
available from value-added resellers, independent consultants, and HP’s
Professional Services Organization.

HP NetServer Navigator
The HP NetServer Navigator is an information retrieval system for quick access
to information on HP NetServers and accessories, NOS installation and tuning,
and product service and support.
The HP NetServer Information Assistant gives you access to technical and
product information while you are installing and configuring your HP NetServer
using the HP Configuration Assistant. It is also installable from the Navigator
CD-ROM for information retrieval from any PC running Microsoft Windows 3.1,
Windows for Workgroups 3.11, or Windows NT.
The HP NetServer Information Assistant uses advanced hypertext techniques to
make the information easily accessible.
For subscription information on the Navigator CD-ROM, obtain ordering
instructions from the library at the HPPC forum on CompuServe, via HP’s World
Wide Web home page, or from HP’s automated fax system. Each of these
services is described elsewhere in this appendix.
