Installing an Additional Processor

IMPORTANT: If the system board part number in your workstation is 339100-xxx, this section replaces the “Installing an Additional Processor” section of the existing Hardware Reference Guide.

CAUTION: Failure to follow the workstation preparation instructions and these installation steps could result in an improperly installed processor, causing extensive system damage.

NOTE: The second processor must be of the same speed, cache, size, and type as the primary processor.

To install a second processor:

1. Power down your system as instructed in the Hardware Reference Guide.

2. Remove the workstation access panel.

3. Place the workstation in the desktop position.

Page 3

4. Remove any preinstalled screws from the system board around the second processor socket.

5. Open the second processor socket lever 1 fully (the full swing angle of the lever is approximately 135 degrees).

6. Line up the two keyed corners of the pins on the processor with the two keyed corners of the processor socket and install the processor 2 into the socket. Ensure that the underside of the processor is level with the top of the processor socket.

7. Lightly press down on the top of the processor while closing the socket lever.

8. Check for proper processor seating in the socket. Using your fingers, carefully try to lift the processor out of the socket. A properly seated processor will not lift out of the socket.

9. Remove and discard the green thermal grease protective liner from the bottom of the new fansink and set the fansink over the processor 1.

NOTE: Be careful not to touch the exposed thermal grease when handling the fansink.

10. Line up the captive screws 2 of the fansink with the holes on the system board (the holes where the preinstalled screws were removed earlier).

11. Tighten the screws until they no longer turn and the springs are fully compressed.

NOTE: The screws should be tightened in a crossing pattern to ensure the fansink is secured correctly.

12. Connect the fansink cable to the system board header 3.

Page 4

13. Reassemble the workstation and restore power.

NOTE: A manual Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) upgrade is necessary when installing a second processor after the system has gone through the software unbundling process. If a second processor is installed prior to unbundling, a manual upgrade is not necessary. HP recommends that the software unbundling process be completed prior to installing additional components. For information about upgrading to a multiprocessor HAL, refer to the documentation included in your processor upgrade kit.

DIMM Installation Guidelines

IMPORTANT: This section replaces both the “DIMM Installation Guidelines” and the “DIMM Installation Configurations” sections of the existing Hardware Reference Guide.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the internal system

components to cool before touching.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury when replacing or removing DIMMs, allow the module being removed from the DIMM socket sufficient time to cool. DIMM temperatures can reach 212° F (100° C).

CAUTION: When handling a memory module, do not touch any of the contacts. Doing so may damage the module.

CAUTION: Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the workstation or option boards. Before beginning these procedures, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by briefly touching a grounded metal object.

When adding, upgrading, or replacing PC2100 DDR SDRAM memory modules in the hp workstation xw6000, care must be taken to avoid incorrect pairing of modules in the same channel. This system does not support mixed DIMM pairing on the same channel.

NOTE: See the “System Board Components” section at the beginning of this document (if your system board part number is 339100-xxx) or in the the Hardware Reference Guide for the location of the DIMM sockets.

■ For proper system operation, if your system supports DDR-SDRAM DIMMs, the DIMMs must be industry-standard 184-pin, Registered ECC PC 2100 266 MHz-compliant, 2.5 volt DDR-SDRAM DIMMs. The DDR-SDRAM DIMMs must support CAS Latency 2 or 2.5 (CL = 2 or CL = 2.5). They must also contain the mandatory Joint Electronic Device Engineering Council (JEDEC) Serial Presence Detect (SPD) information.

■ DIMMs should be installed in pairs.

■ Do not mix DIMMs of different memory speeds. Performance will reflect the speed of the slowest

DIMM.

■ Each DIMM within a pair should be identical in size. For example, a 256MB DIMM must be paired with a similar 256MB DIMM.

Page 5

■ Each DIMM within a pair should be identical in technology. For example, you cannot mix a 256 MB 9-device DIMM with a 128MB 18-device DIMM on the same channel.

NOTE: To identify which DIMM technology you are using, compare the memory size and number of DRAM components on the module. A 128 MB DIMM has 18 DRAM components that fully populate both sides of the module. A 256MB DIMM has 9 DRAM components; four on one side, five on the other.

■ The first pair of DIMMS should be installed in slots 1 and 2. The DIMM slots are numbered sequentially. Slot 1 is closest to the CPUs.

■ The second pair of DIMMS, if any, should be installed in slots 3 and 4.

■ DIMMs must be installed correctly. Be sure to match the keyed slot on the DIMM with the tab on the

DIMM socket.

■ For optimal system performance, DIMMs should be installed in identical pairs in the following three configurations: slot 1 and 2, slot 3 and 4, or all DIMM slots populated in paired format.

■ If you are using a single DIMM configuration, the DIMM should be installed in slot 1 or slot 3.

NOTE: Although a single-DIMM configuration is possible, it does not provide the optimal system performance that a dual-DIMM (dual-channel) of matching sizes, configuration provides.

■ If you are installing two DIMMs of different sizes, they can only be installed in slot 1 and slot 3 with each DIMM occupying either slot.

NOTE: Although a mixed size dual-DIMM configuration is possible, it does not provide the optimal system performance that a dual-DIMM (dual-channel) of matching sizes, configuration provides.

■ No other memory configurations are supported. Attempts to install memory in other configurations will result in unpredictable system performance.

NOTE: The following table provides acceptable pairing configurations but do not cover all module capacities. However, the same pairing configuration applies regardless of the module type and capacity.

Hyper-Threading Technology

Hyper-Threading Technology is a high performance technology, developed by Intel®, that allows a single processor to execute multiple threads of instructions simultaneously. Hyper-Threading Technology enables the processor to utilize its execution resources more efficiently, delivering performance increases and improving user productivity. Not all systems benefit from the Hyper-Threading Technology.

To see if Hyper-Threading Technology can benefit you, test your system by turning the feature on using the Computer Setup (F10) system utility. To do this, run F10 Setup during boot up and select Advanced > Device Options > Hyper-Threading, and enable the Hyper-Threading Technology.

Note the following:

■ If your workstation does not support Hyper-Threading Technology, the Hyper-Threading menu item will not be available on the Computer Setup menu.

■ The Hyper-Threading Technology is recommended for use with Microsoft® Windows® XP systems. This technology is detected by the system and is turned on in the operating system after it is enabled in the system BIOS.

■ Hyper-Threading is not recommended for use with Windows 2000-based workstations.

■ The Hyper-Threading Technology is compatible with Linux-based systems. An SMP kernel must be

installed on your system before this technology can be enabled.

■ For more information about the Hyper-Threading Technology, you can visit the Intel Web site at

Product Features

Audio System

Your workstation has an integrated audio solution that supports analog or digital external stereo speakers. The system is capable of autosensing the speaker type and outputting the correct signal. The autosensing is done by detecting if there is a mono jack plugged into the line-out connector.

If you are using a set of digital speakers that have a stereo jack, and you want the system to auto-switch to digital, you will need to use a stereo-to-mono adapter to get the autosensing to work. However, if you do not have a stereo-to-mono adapter present, then you can manually switch the audio signal from analog to digital. See “Solving Audio Problems” in the Troubleshooting Guide on the Documentation Library CD for instructions on how to manually switch the audio signal for your operating system.

✎

If you are using a headphone set that is mono, the system will attempt to switch to digital and you will experience “noise” or “silence.” This can be fixed by manually switching the signal to analog. See “Solving Audio Problems” in the Troubleshooting Guide on the Documentation Library CD for instructions on how to manually switch the audio signal for your operating system.

If your analog speakers or headphones are not working, make sure you are not using a mono adapter with autosensing enabled.

Installing Additional Memory

Your workstation comes with Double Data Rate-Synchronous dynamic random access memory (DDR-SDRAM) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs).

The memory sockets on the system board can be populated with industry-standard DIMMs. These sockets are populated with two preinstalled memory modules. To achieve the maximum memory support, you may be required to replace the preinstalled DIMMs with higher capacity DIMMs. You can also install additional DIMMs in the two unpopulated memory sockets.

DIMM Socket Locations

Hardware Upgrades

Your workstation supports a total of four DIMM sockets on two channels (two sockets per channel). DIMMs must be installed in identical pairs for dual channel operation.

The four DIMM sockets are numbered XMM1 and XMM3 (on channel A) and XMM2 and XMM4 (on channel B). Refer to the following figure for their locations on the system board.

DIMM Installation Guidelines

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces,

allow the internal system components to cool before touching.

CAUTION: When handling a memory module, do not touch any of the contacts. Doing so may damage the module.

When installing DIMMs, follow these guidelines:

When installing additional memory modules, you must install

■

two DIMMs of identical type and speed into the unpopulated memory sockets.

For proper system operation, if your system supports

■

DDR-SDRAM DIMMs, the DIMMs must be industry-standard 184-pin, Registered ECC PC 2100 266 MHz-compliant, 2.5 volt DDR-SDRAM DIMMs. The DDR-SDRAM DIMMs must support CAS Latency 2 or 2.5 (CL = 2 or CL = 2.5). They must also contain the mandatory Joint Electronic Device Engineering Council (JEDEC) Serial Presence Detect (SPD) information.

DIMMs must be installed correctly. Be sure to match the keyed

■

slot on the DIMM with the tab on the DIMM socket. Push the DIMM down into the DIMM socket, ensuring that it is fully inserted and properly seated and that the retaining arms are locked in place.

Guidelines for Separating the Heatsink/Processor Assembly

Before upgrading your workstation with a new processor, the following sequential events must take place in order to remove the existing heatsink and processor assembly:

Hardware Upgrades

1. The heatsink and processor assembly is to be heated to an optimum temperature to break the compound bonding them together. See the following sections:

“Heatsink Cool-Down Time”

❏

“Heatsink Warm-Up Time”

❏

2. The heatsink is to be separated from the processor.

3. The processor is to be released from the processor socket.

Heatsink Cool-Down Time

The heat generated from the processor core transfers to the heatsink making the assembly too hot to handle. From a power-on state to a power-off state, it takes five minutes to cool the heatsink sufficiently so that it can be handled comfortably yet keep the compound pliable that is holding the processor to the heatsink.

Hardware Reference Guide 2–31

Page 60

Longbow.book Page 32 Thursday, August 22, 2002 11:38 AM

Hardware Upgrades

Heatsink Warm-Up Time

Minimal warm-up time is required to generate enough heat to soften the compound holding the heatsink to the cold processor.

CAUTION: Lifting the heatsink straight up while it is in a cold state can

result in damage to the processor, because it may prematurely pull the heatsink and processor assembly out of the processor socket. If this should occur, you will need to open the processor socket by lifting up on the processor retention lever before attempting to install the new processor.

From a power-off state to a power-on state, the heatsink must be warmed (but not overheated) so that the heatsink can be handled comfortably, yet keep the compound pliable that is holding the processor to the heatsink.

1. Turn on the workstation and allow the operating system to boot.

2. Shut down the operating system properly, then turn off the workstation and any external devices. Disconnect the power cord from the grounded AC outlet.

Removing an Existing Processor

To remove an existing processor:

1. Shut down the operating system properly, then turn off the workstation and any external devices. Disconnect the power cord from the grounded AC outlet.

2. Remove the workstation access panel. See “Removing the Workstation Access Panel” in this chapter.

3. Place the workstation in the desktop position.

Using the Cable-Select Feature with Ultra ATA Devices

Selected models of the HP workstation xw6000 have an internal Ultra ATA hard drive installed. The configuration of the drive employs a cable-select feature that identifies the drive as device 0 (primary drive) or device 1 (secondary drive).

Hard Drive Installation

✎

Device 1 is the drive connected to the cable’s middle connector. Device 0 is the drive connected to the cable’s end connector (applies only to 80-conductor ATA cables). See “Guidelines for Installing Ultra ATA Devices” in this appendix for an example of an Ultra ATA cable.

HP hard drives ship with jumpers preset to cable-select mode; therefore, no jumper setting changes on the existing or optional drives are required. If you purchase a third-party hard drive, refer to the documentation included with the kit to ensure proper installation and configuration of cables.

If installing a second device on the primary controller, you must use an 80-conductor Ultra ATA cable for optimal performance. This cable is standard on selected models.

Hardware Reference Guide B–1

Guidelines for Installing Ultra ATA Devices

When installing additional Ultra ATA drives, follow these guidelines:

If using multiple Ultra ATA devices, HP recommends that

■

the devices be split between the primary and secondary Ultra ATA channels for optimum performance. Use an additional Ultra ATA cable to connect the additional devices to the system board.

UATA-100 cable:

■

18 inches maximum total length, 80-conductor cable with maximum spacing of 6 inches between Drive 0 and Drive 1

UATA-100 cable

For optimal performance, connect hard drives to the primary

■

controller. Connect expansion devices, such as Ultra ATA CD-ROM drives, tape drives, and diskette drives, to the secondary controller.

Install either a third-height or a half-height drive into a

■

half-height bay.

Install guide screws to ensure that the drive lines up correctly in

■

the drive cage. HP has provided extra guide screws installed in the front of the workstation chassis behind the front bezel. Some options use M3 metric hardware. HP supplied metric screws are black.

If only one device is connected to a cable, that device must be

■

attached to the end (Device 0) connector.

SCSI Devices

This section contains information relating to SCSI device guidelines and installation.

Guidelines for Using SCSI Devices

When installing and operating SCSI devices, you must follow these guidelines:

A single Ultra SCSI controller supports up to seven SCSI devices

■

per channel.

Each Wide-Ultra SCSI, Ultra-Wide SCSI, Wide Ultra2 SCSI,

■

Ultra 320 SCSI, or Ultra 160 SCSI controller supports up to 15 SCSI devices per channel.

Hard Drive Installation

If using multiple SCSI devices, HP recommends that the devices

■

be split between Channel A and Channel B, if available, for optimum performance.

SCSI cable recommendation:

■

53 inches maximum length twisted-pair, LVD cable with

❏

built-in terminator, maximum of five drives with a minimum drive spacing of 5.25 inches

The SCSI controller requires a unique SCSI ID (0–7 or 8–15) for

■

each SCSI device installed. The controller identifies a SCSI device by its SCSI ID number rather than by its location. Moving a SCSI device from one position to another on the SCSI chain does not affect communication between the controller and the device. The reserved and available SCSI ID numbers for SCSI devices are:

0—reserved for the primary hard drive

❏

7—reserved for the controller

❏

1 through 6 and 8 through 15—available for all other SCSI

❏

devices

■

Hardware Reference Guide B–3

Either a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM is shipped in bay 2.

Page 68

Longbow.book Page 4 Thursday, August 22, 2002 11:38 AM

Hard Drive Installation

Every SCSI chain or circuit must be terminated (closed) at both

■

ends. Some system boards have both ends of the SCSI cable connected to, and terminated by, the system board. Termination can be accomplished through one of the following methods:

❏

Using a cable with a built-in terminator. This cable was shipped with your workstation.

Using a cable with a terminating resistor plug in the last connector.

Connecting a SCSI device with its termination enabled into the last connector.

Connecting an external SCSI device with its termination enabled to the external SCSI connector on the rear panel of the computer.

Turn on all external SCSI devices before turning on the power

■

to the computer. This action enables the SCSI controller to recognize the external devices.

The system accommodates a combination of internal and external

■

SCSI devices, such as hard drives, tape drives, and CD-ROM drives.

HP does not recommend mixing different-width SCSI devices

■

on the same SCSI chain or on the same SCSI channel. Mixing devices of different widths on the same chain or channel will always result in the data transfer rate of the slowest device in that chain. It is acceptable to mix Wide-Ultra2, Ultra 160, and Ultra 320 devices on a single channel. Do not put Narrow devices on a channel with any device type other than another Narrow device.

For additional information about optional SCSI devices, refer to the documentation included with the device or contact your HP authorized dealer, reseller, or service provider.

CAUTION: Do not route cables near the air intake to the power supply. Cables routed in this manner can block airflow to the power supply, causing it to overheat.

Guidelines for Installing SCSI Devices

If you mix Ultra ATA and SCSI hard drives in the same system, the

✎

Ultra ATA drive will be the boot drive unless the boot order is changed in the F10 Setup.

When replacing a hard drive, the replacement drive should be of the same type as the drive being removed. If you are replacing an Ultra ATA hard drive with a SCSI hard drive, you will need a multimode LVD SCSI cable option kit.

If only one SCSI hard drive is used, it should be installed in bay 4.

Before installing a SCSI device:

SCSI Cables

The front drive bays are available for installing or connecting mass storage SCSI devices.

Using a SCSI Cable

Selected models of the HP workstation xw6000 ship with a multimode SCSI cable that supports Low Voltage Differential (LVD) or single-ended devices. The cable accommodates up to three SCSI devices in the front drive bay area (UATA models do not have the SCSI cable).

✎

Five-device SCSI cable with terminator

The cable that shipped with your workstation may look different than the one illustrated (a five-device cable).

If you are installing a narrow SCSI device, you will need to attach a 68-pin to a 50-pin SCSI adapter.

For additional information about installing optional SCSI devices, refer to the documentation included with the device option kit, or contact your HP authorized dealer, reseller, or service provider.
