1 General Information
Notice to Service Technicians
This is the service document for the HP NetServer LH6000 server. You also need to access the HP NetServer LH6000 Installation Guide which comes with the server and is also available on the Network Server Division WEB site and on the Information Assistant Documentation CD-ROM.
The LH6000 installation guide contains additional information on the installation process that the end users follow. Both documents are needed for complete servicing information.
Removing Covers - Pedestal LH6000
WARNING Before removing covers, disconnect the power cords and unplug telephone cables. If possible, shut down the operating system. Disconnect the power cords to avoid exposure to high energy levels that may cause burns when parts are short-circuited by metal objects, such as tools or jewelry.

2 System Information
Boot Priority
Some boards have preferred slot locations. Consider the boot order when choosing the accessory board slot in which to install the accessory board.
This is the default boot priority for the LH 6000/6000r:
1.IDE CD-ROM drive with a bootable CD-ROM
2.Flexible disk drive with a bootable flexible disk
3.HP NetRAID controller or integrated Embedded SCSI controller
4.PCI boards in slots in the following order: 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 Change this boot order using the Setup utility.
IRQ Settings
The BIOS automatically assigns the IRQs (hardware interrupts) for each PCI slot and embedded device in the HP NetServer during boot. These assignments trigger the NOS to enable the APIC (Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller). APIC takes advantage of the expanded set of non-conflicting IRQs for those accessory boards requiring more than one IRQ per slot. APIC provides up to four dedicated interrupts for each PCI slot.
These automatic IRQ assignments can be changed in the setup screen (F2).
Connector Pinouts
Unless otherwise noted, the following features apply to all models. Some features are factory installed; others are optional.
Video Connector Pinouts
The built-in video uses the standard 15-pin analog display pinout configuration. The pinouts for your monitor may vary. For the pinouts for your monitor, refer to the manual that came with your monitor.

Memory Guidelines
The standard memory configuration is 256 MB of interleaved memory, one 128 MB DIMM in socket 1A and one 128 MB DIMM in socket 1B. Expansion is accomplished by adding pairs of equal size DIMMs in stipulated slots up to the maximum configuration of 8 GB.

lAdd paired DIMMs of these sizes:
◊128 MB
◊256 MB
◊512 MB
◊1 GB
lMemory of equal size must be added in pairs.
lYou can mix DIMM sizes. For example, you may place a 1 GB DIMM pair next to a 128 MB DIMM pair.
lAdd paired memory in any order to the eight slots.
21
Chapter 2 |
System Information |
lMaximum configuration is 8 GB.
lDo not rock the DIMM into place, but apply firm and even pressure until it is seated in the socket.
lUse only HP-supported DIMMs.
The installation procedure is the same for the rack-mount and the pedestal HP NetServers once you gain access to the system board assembly. While you can perform memory installation in the rack or in the pedestal, it is recommended that you remove the system board assembly in order to install components. If you install memory without removing the system board assembly, the DIMM slots region of the system board is accessible when the bottom cover of the LH 6000r is removed and the left cover of the LH 6000 is removed.
CAUTION Wear a wrist-strap and use a static-dissipating work surface connected to the chassis when handling components. Ensure the metal of the wrist strap contacts your skin.
Mass Storage Guidelines
This HP NetServer has a flexible mass storage system. You can install up to six hot-swap devices in the primary hot-swap mass storage cage and you can install an additional six hot-swap devices in the optional, secondary cage.

The mass storage system includes several standard pre-installed devices:
•A flexible disk drive is installed in Shelf 1.
•An IDE CD-ROM drive is installed in Shelf 2.
•A single hot-swap Ultra-2 SCSI hard disk drive is installed in the primary hot-swap mass storage cage.
The HP NetServers support two classes of mass storage devices:
22
Chapter 2 |
System Information |
•Non-hot-swap, single-ended SCSI devices installed in the two empty trays adjacent to the CDROM drive
•Hot-swap Ultra-2 SCSI hard disk drives installed in the hot-swap mass storage cages
Use only high-performance, Ultra-2, hot-swap drives in the integral hot-swap mass storage cages.
You can add any Ultra/Wide, single-ended SCSI device in the non-hot-swap shelves, such as a removable hard disk or a tape backup drive. This table lists supported SCSI devices:

Accessory Board Guidelines
To install accessory boards, during initial installations, into the I/O board, perform the following procedures. The I/O board is under the top cover of the LH 6000r and under the left cover of the LH 6000.
lUse the respective NOS software utility to
◊Ensure the correct software drivers for the PCI board are loaded
◊Verify correct operation
◊Shut down power to hot plug slots
CAUTION Do not attempt to install or remove non-hot plug PCI boards with the HP NetServer in any kind of sleep state, or a system crash or hang may occur.
lSlots 1, 2, 3, and 4 are non-hot plug; slots 5, 6, 7, and 8 are hot plug.
lFor optimal performance, add PCI boards to slots 7 and 8, which at 66 MHz and 64 bit, are the fastest.
lConsider the boot priority prior to installing accessory boards, but after configuring the HP NetServer.
lSome accessory board outputs may exceed U.S. National Electrical code (NFPA 70) Class 2 or power source limits and must use appropriate interconnecting cabling in accordance with the National Electrical Code. (All Hewlett Packard boards comply with Class 2.)
lYou can configure the HP NetServer to boot from a PCI-based DAC inserted into a PCI slot. Use the Symbios Configuration Utility to select a different PCI slot when scanning for boot devices.
lSlots 7 and 8 accept universal boards. Universal boards automatically switch to accept power from a +5.0 or +3.3 VDC.
Hot Addition and Replacement of Hot Plug PCI Boards
The PCI Hot Plug option is NOS-dependent. To use the Hot Plug option, the PCI board must have a hot plug compliant driver and a Hot Plug Utility for the respective NOS. The Hot Plug Utility is used to turn power off/on to the PCI slot, while the HP NetServer continues to operate normally.
23
Chapter 2 System Information
NOTE |
Hot Removal or online deletion of an adapter board and reconfiguring of that |
|
adapter from the HP NetServer is not supported. |
Refer to the PCI Hot Plug Replacement procedures in HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM for the NOS you are using.
Online Replacement, Hot Swapping, of a PCI Adapter
NOTE |
You can Hot Swap an adapter only if it is the passive adapter, or inactive adapter of |
|
a fault-tolerant pair. |
For more current PCI Hot Plug information and PCI Hot Plug drivers, go to:
http://www.hp.com/cposupport/
Select your product and download the latest software. PCI hot plug drivers are in the SCSI section.
Remote Control (Top Tools) Board
The HP Remote Control board supports HP TopTools software and comes installed from the factory in PCI slot 2, due to its boot order (Bus 5) and a required cable connection to the I/O board. The I2C cable for the HP TopTools Remote Control card is inserted into connector J1F1 on the I/O board.
HP NetRAID Guidelines
This HP NetServer contains an embedded dual-channel RAID controller, which puts the power of the HP NetRAID series of disk array controllers in the HP NetServer.
HP NetRAID technology lets you link multiple hard disk drives together to provide faster access and/or increased data reliability. With the embedded RAID controller, you can configure your linked drives as RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks).
Disk drives in the hot-swap mass storage cage may be used as either standard mass storage, or configured together as a RAID array.
This HP NetServer is shipped with SCSI A channel enabled as a RAID channel, and the included hot-swap drive is not configured. You can either disable SCSI A channel as a RAID channel, or configure the drive(s) in the hot-swap cage as a RAID array.
To disable SCSI A channel:
•Exclude SCSI A channel from the embedded RAID controller, as follows:
1.Restart the HP NetServer.
2.When you see the message "Press [F2] to enter SETUP" on the monitor, press the [F2] function key.
3.When the Setup Utility menu appears, use the up and down arrow keys to highlight "Included SCSI A Channel Yes]."
4.Use the +/- keys to change it to "Included SCSI A Channel [No]."
5.Press the F10 function key to save and exit.
6.Answer "Yes" to the question, "Save configuration and exit now?" The HP NetServer will start up again, and HP Navigator will restart.
