Completing the Hardware Upgrade
Complete the hardware upgrade as follows:
1. Reinstall the system board assembly into the chassis. See Figures 2-2
and 2-3.
2. Reconnect cabl es and power cords to the HP Net Server.
3. Follow the instructions for closing up the NetS er ver in the HP NetServer
LT 6000r Installation Guide.
4. Restore power to the HP NetServer.
CAUTION Operating the system without all covers in place r ed u ces
critical cooling airflow over some components, such as hard
disk drives and processor modules. Continuous operation of
the system without all covers in place will increase
temperatures and may reduce the reliability of some
components.
5. Check the boot mes s ages to see if the system detects th e ad di tional
processors.
6. If the boot messages indicate the additional processor(s) has/have not been
found, verify:
a. The processor retest function in the Setup Utility is set to Enabled.
b. All proces s ors modul es u s ed h ave the same sp eed and cache si z e.
c. The processor(s) and th e V RM( s) are insta lled in the correct slots an d
seated properly.
d. Check the System Event log for debug information.
7. If the boot messages s till fail to report the new processor(s), you must
reinstall the NOS.
8. Go to Cha pter 3, "Updating the BIOS," in this guide to reinstall the NOS.
Updating Firmware
Refer to the instructions in Chapter 3 in this guide to update your BIOS and
if necessary, reinstall your network operating system (NOS).

3 BIOS Update
Introduction
This section applies to all HP NetServers described in this guide. After upgrading
the pr ocessor modu le(s) or add in g a processor module to a NetServer, the BI OS
may require updating.
Updating the B IOS
After installin g the new processor modul e( s ) , restart the NetServer from the
HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM provided with the new processor module.
NOTE You are not required to use the HP NetServer Navigator
CD-ROM to reconfigure your system after installing the new
processor. Th e NetServer sh ould detect the new or additional
processors automatically. However, HP recommends using the
HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM provided with the proc essor
upgrade kit to ensure you have the latest drivers and
information.
CAUTION Versions of the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM other than
the one provided with the upgrade kit may not contain the
appr opr iate BIOS for these new pr ocessor modu les. Therefore,
use only the H P Net Serv er Navigator CD-ROM provided with
the upgrade kit, or a later version for the HP NetServers
described in this guide.
Perform the following instructions to ensure the BIOS is up-to-date.
1. Restart the Net S er ver with the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM provided
with the processor upgrade kit inserted in the CD-ROM drive.
When you restart the HP Ne tS erver Navigator CD-ROM , you may see a
message similar to the one listed below:
27
Page 32
Chapter 3 BIOS Updat e
"Note: The version of BIOS on the NetServer Navigator CD-ROM is
newer than the BIOS detected on your NetServer. It is recommended
that you run Configuration Assistant t o update your se r ver’s BIOS
and system configuration."
◊ If you see this message when you restart the HP NetServer Navigator
CD-ROM, you must update the BIOS.
Continue with this procedure.
◊ If the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM starts and goes directly to the
NetServer Navigator main menu without the above message appearing,
your BIOS contains the proper BIOS for the processors installed, and
does not need updating for this purpose.
You may skip the remainder of this procedure.
2. From the Navigator main menu, se lect NetServer Utilities.
3. Select More NetServer Utilities option.
4. Select the BIOS Update utility.
5. Select the Execute option.
The BIOS update is preformed automatically.
6. When the BIOS update is complete, remove the HP NetServer Navigator
CD-ROM from the CD-ROM drive and restart the NetServer.
This completes the BIOS update process.
Reinstalling the NOS
You may have to reinstall the NOS for eith er of the following reasons:
l
If th e system did not r ecognize th e new processor, when you booted the
NetServer.
l
If you went from a single-processor to a multi-processor configuration and
the syst em did not recognize all the new processors.
Check your NOS documentation, or th e Network Operating System Installation
Instructions and the README First file and Configuration Advisor utilit i es on th e
HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM.
28

Chapter 3 BIOS Updat e
NOTE The Net Server sh ould detect the n ew or addition al processors
automatically. If this is not the case you may have to reinstall
the NOS to detect the new processors.
1. I f n ecessary reinstall your NOS and then reboot the system.
2. If the new processors are detected, then this completes the installation of
the processor upgrade.
