Table 2-1 shows the Control panel switches and the associated indicator definitions.
Table 2-1. Control Panel Switch and Indicators
Control / Indicator Description
Power On/Off/Sleep Switch
On/Off/Sleep LED
Drive Active LED
The power button acts as both a button for transitioning the system between the on and sleep states, and for transitioning the system between the off and on states.
With the system on, pressing this button will set the system into the sleep state. The term "sleep" refers to a low latency (reduced power consumption) wake up state. In this state the system appears to be off (no display; hard disks and CD-ROM drives are not spinning). When the system detects activity (i.e., mouse, keyboard, or certain types of LAN activity), the system will become fully operational. The prerequisite here is that the operating system must support power management based on the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) standard. For example, Microsoft Windows 98 and 2000 allow the function of the button to be configured via a user interface.
The power button also has the capability to unconditionally power off the system when the button is held in for over four seconds (until the system powers off).
If the operating system does not support power management using ACPI, the power button will act as a normal power button (on/off only).
This green LED indicator remains steady on when the system is running, and off when the system is off. This indicator blinks once per second when the system is in sleep state.
This yellow LED indicator flashes during SCSI or IDE disk drive activity.

4 Installing Mass Storage Devices
Introduction
The HP NetServer E 60 comes standard with an IDE CD-ROM and a floppy disk drive (some models also include a SCSI hard disk drive and a tape backup drive). The internal mass storage cage can hold, and cabling is provided for, up to four Ultra Wide SCSI hard disk drive devices.
The SCSI cable has five 68-pin, high-density connectors for the available hard disk drive shelves. One or two of these connectors will be attached to the factory installed hard disk and optional tape drive. Refer to the Reference card on the system chassis for details. One 68-pin connector is attached to a 68- to 50-pin adapter, reserved for the optional tape drive.
The embedded dual-channel Ultra Wide PCI SCSI controller includes SCSI channels A and B. Channel A is used for cabling the factory installed hard disk drive and up to four additional SCSI drives (including an optional tape drive). Channel B may be used in a duplexing arrangement or to accommodate an external mass storage solution (either require an additional cable kit). Duplexing requires that at least two hard disk drives be installed.
Devices in the HP NetServer E 60 are cable terminated.
Boot Priority
By default, the HP NetServer searches for bootable devices in the order shown below.
IDE CD-ROM Drive
Floppy Disk Drive
Embedded SCSI A
Embedded SCSI B
On each controller, the server scans for a boot device starting at device ID 0 and works up the ID numbers. The system's embedded controller is always SCSI ID 7.
The optional bundled tape drive takes SCSI address ID 4.
19
Page 26
Chapter 4 Installing Mass Storage Devices
For information about booting off of a hard disk connected to an accessory board, see "Installing a Disk Array Controller Board and Altering the Boot Priority" in Chapter 6.
NOTE The boot order can be changed using the system's BIOS Setup
utility (press [F2] during the boot process).
Installing Mass Storage Devices
The following table shows how mass storage devices may be added to the HP NetServer E 60:

Embedded SCSI Controller Configuration
Typically, no configuration of the embedded SCSI controller is required. You do have the option of reassigning the designation of channel A and B. In order to verify or modify SCSI host adapter settings, or to low-level format SCSI disks or verify SCSI media, run the SCSI Select Utility. See Chapter 11, "Using the BIOS Setup and SCSI Select Utilities," for further information.
CAUTION You may not connect high voltage differential (HVD) SCSI
devices on the embedded SCSI bus or you will damage the devices.
Tools Required
To secure the hard disk drives in the hard disk drive cage, you will need a Torx 15 driver or ¼-inch flat blade screw driver. Check your device's documentation for additional tool requirements.
Installing Hard Disk Drives
1. If the system is already installed and working, gracefully power down the system as described in Chapter 2.
2. Disconnect the power cables and any external cables connected to the system. If necessary, label them to expedite reassembly.
3. Remove the cover and turn in the system feet (so that the system will lay flat on its side) as described in Chapter 3.
21
Page 28
Chapter 4 Installing Mass Storage Devices
4. Lay the server on its side (components showing). Unsnap the air duct and move it out of the way (see Figure 4-1).
Figure 4-1. Moving the Air Duct
5. Loosen three captive screws on the mass storage cage (see Figure 4-2).
6. Unplug the power and SCSI cables to any hard disk drives already in the cage.
CAUTION Install and remove connectors carefully, and avoid displacing
any the pins.

7. Remove the cage (see Figure 4-3).
CAUTION All mounting screws that thread into the hard disk drive must
be #6-32 and not exceed ¼-inch in length. Longer screws may cause internal damage to the mass storage device. Damage caused by incorrect mounting screws is not covered by the HP warranty.
8. Slide the drive into the cage opening with the cable connectors toward the rear of the system (see Figure 4-3). Align the screw holes on the drive (or the shelf or brackets) with the screw holes in the hard disk drive cage.
NOTE If the hard disk drive you are planning to install already has a
mounting tray attached, you must remove it before you can install the drive in your HP NetServer E 60.

10. Reinstall the mass storage cage. Make sure the tabs at the front on the cage slide into the slots provided for them (see Figure 4-3).
11. Connect the SCSI cable to the disk drive. There are five connectors on the SCSI cable. The first four are intended for the four hard disk drive positions in the hard disk drive cage. The end connector is intended for the optional tape drive.
12. Connect the power cable to the drives. The power cable is split into two cables, each with three power connectors. The designed distribution is:
One string of three: CD-ROM, optional tape drive, top hard disk drive. Second string of three: lower three hard disk drives.
If a power connector has no mate, for example, no optional tape drive installed, leave it unconnected and use connector designed for the device you are connecting.
13. Replace the NetServer cover, external cables, and power cord.

Chapter 4 Installing Mass Storage Devices
Installing the Optional HP NetServer E 60 Duplexing Cable Kit
The E 60 can be configured to allow two-channel duplexing using the embedded SCSI controller. This means that if you intend to mirror drives you have the additional safety option of having your mirrored drives on two different SCSI channels in case one channel goes down. It requires you have at least two hard disk drives be installed in the hard disk drive cage, and a second SCSI cable (HP NetServer E 60 SCSI Duplex Cable Kit P/N D8212A).
To cable the duplex configuration refer to the figure below:
Figure 4-5. Duplex and Non-Duplex Cabling
Installing the Optional HP NetServer E 60 External SCSI Cable Kit
The E 60 can be configured to extend one of its SCSI channels (typically channel B) to an external connector. This allows you to connect additional external mass storage devices to the second channel of the system's embedded SCSI controller. It requires a second SCSI cable (HP NetServer E 60 External SCSI Cable Kit part number D8214A).

6 Installing Additional Boards
Introduction
The HP NetServer E 60 includes six PCI slots and one ISA slot that is shared with PCI slot 6. PCI slots 3-6 have a slot guide for full-sized boards (as shown in Figure 6-1).
This chapter tells how to use the six available expansion slots. For the latest information on accessory cards for the E 60, including slot recommendations, see the Readme file and Configuration Advisor on your HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM (for instructions, see Chapter 9).
Tools Required
You will need:
T15 Torx or ¼-inch flat blade screw driver.
An anti-static service kit (3M 8501/8502/8503 or equivalent). This kit
includes a static-dissipating work surface, a chassis clip lead, and a wrist strap.
Installation Basics
For every accessory board you install, the system needs to set aside available resources to support it. An accessory board typically requires resources such as an IRQ (Interrupt Request) and port address. When installing PCI accessories, the system uses their Plug-and-Play feature to correctly assign these resources automatically. In the case of some ISA cards, you may need to do this manually (see "Configuring an ISA Non-Plug-and-Play Board" in Chapter 11 for details).
Interrupt Sharing
Since system IRQs are limited, the system allows IRQ sharing. This means that two devices (for example, two PCI accessory slots) may share the same interrupt. Using this scheme the system is capable of supporting more accessory devices and avoiding internal conflicts; however, interrupt sharing results in a small performance loss as the operating system has to resolve which of the devices
35
Page 42
Chapter 6 Installing Additional Boards
caused the interrupt before it responds. For example, if you have drives connected to the embedded SCSI controller, use the other PCI slots before using slot 3.
IRQs are shared in the HP NetServer E 60 system as shown below. If you are installing a PCI board that does not support interrupt sharing (refer to the accessory board documentation), make sure that the shared slot is empty or has no embedded device assigned to it.
IRQ Shared Devices and Slots
Slot 1 and slot 5 Slot 2 and slot 6
Embedded SCSI and slot 3
Embedded LAN and slot 4
NOTE The AGP Video board shipped with the NetServer E 60 has
the interrupt jumper disabled. The performance of some video intensive operations, such as 3D rendering, can be improved by enabling this jumper on the video board. You should also be aware that the AGP slot on the system board is physically connected to PCI Interrupt A, shared with slots 1 and 5.
Using the Primary or Secondary PCI Bus
To support six PCI accessory slots in the system, the NetServer E 60 has a Primary and Secondary PCI bus. HP recommends that you place high-performance cards on the Primary bus before populating the Secondary PCI bus.
PCI Slots PCI Bus
Slots 1 and 2 Primary PCI Bus Slots 3 through 6 Secondary PCI Bus

Page 43
Chapter 6 Installing Additional Boards
PCI Slot Initialization Order
During system boot, the PCI slots are initialized in the following order:
PCI slot 2 PCI slot 1 PCI slot 6 PCI slot 3 PCI slot 4 PCI slot 5
Installing a Disk Array Controller Board and Altering the Boot Priority
Adding a disk array controller board provides additional fault tolerance to your internal or external mass storage devices. If you plan on adding a disk array controller board to the HP NetServer E 60, HP recommends the HP NetRAID 3Si PCI board be installed in slot 5. When installing a disk array controller board, you may alter the server's boot order to allow the system to boot off one of the array's drives. This boot order can be changed under the Configuration menu of the server's BIOS Setup utility (under Boot Device Ordering | Hard Drive Priority | Bootable Cards).
Installing Accessory Boards
To install an accessory board:
1. If the system is already installed and working, gracefully power down the system as described in Chapter 2.
2. Disconnect the power cables and any external cables connected to the system. If necessary, label them to expedite reassembly.
3. Remove the cover and turn in the system feet (so that the system will lay flat on its side) as described in Chapter 3.
WARNING The power supply will continue to provide standby current to
the NetServer E 60 until the power cable is disconnected.
CAUTION Wear a wrist strap and use a static-dissipating work surface
connected to the chassis when handling components. Ensure that the metal of the wrist strap contacts your skin.

Regulatory Notices - Electromagnetic Compliance
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) requirements have been established in many countries to regulate the radio frequency energy generated by Information Technology Equipment (ITE). This energy is generated during the normal and intended use of this equipment and so it is limited by country regulations to levels intended to minimize potential interference to other electrical equipment, including public safety services.
Two levels of radio frequency energy are allowed according to the type or use of equipment. Class A levels have been established for use in commercial or business environments. Class B levels are lower than the class A requirement and have been established for use in residential environments. Class B levels are also suitable when the environment includes electrically sensitive equipment.
The server equipment you have purchased has been provided with a compliance label to indicate where it may be used with reasonable protection to the environment in which it is used. Additional statements are provided below as required by the requirements of international and domestic regulations.
NOTE Check the label on your product to determine the level of
operation.
