Special Notice for Users

The HP VISUALIZE Personal Workstation is made from a combination of high performance Industry Standard components (for example, the Intel Pentium III processor) and desired HP value added technologies (for example, HP VISUALIZE fx+ graphics cards). The HP VISUALIZE Personal Workstation also shares some important technologies with the HP Kayak Workstations, including certain processor system board features. Since these common technologies are used by the HP VISUALIZE Personal Workstations and the HP Kayak Workstations, your HP VISUALIZE Personal Workstation will occasionally make reference to “HP Kayak PC Workstations,” “HP Kayak XU,” or “HP Kayak XW.” This is particularly true during the initial Power-On Self Test

and when you see MaxiLife LCD messages.

Important Safety Information

WARNING

If you have any doubt that you can lift the HP VISUALIZE Personal Workstation or display safely, do not try to move it without help.

For your safety, always connect the equipment to a grounded wall outlet. Always use a power cord with a properly grounded plug, such as the one provided with this equipment, or one in compliance with you national regulations. This HP V

ISUALIZE Personal Workstation is

disconnected from the power by removing the power cord from the power outlet. This means the Personal Workstation must be located close to a power outlet that is easily accessible.

For your safety, never remove the HP V

ISUALIZE Personal

Workstation’s cover without ﬁrst removing the power cord from the power outlet, and any connection to the telecommunications network. Always replace the cover on the Personal Workstation before switching it on.

To avoid electric shocks, do not open the power supply. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

This HP V

ISUALIZE Personal Workstation is a class 1 laser product. Do

not attempt to make any adjustment to the laser units.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions

Electrostatic charges can damage the integrated circuits on printed circuit boards. To prevent such damage from occurring, observe the following precautions during board unpacking and installation:

• Stand on a static-free mat.

• Wear a static strap to ensure that any accumulated electrostatic charge is discharged

from your body to ground.

• Create a common ground for the equipment you are working on by connecting the

static-free mat, static strap, and peripheral units to that piece of equipment.

• Keep uninstalled printed circuit boards in their protective antistatic bags.

• Handle printed circuit boards by their edges, once you have removed them from their

protective antistatic bags.

System Overview

Internal Features

The core architecture of the HP Visualize Personal X-Class Workstation is constructed around four buses: Host Bus, Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Bus, Accelerator Graphics Port (AGP) Bus and Memory Bus.

This PersonalWorkstation includes the Intel Pentium® III Xeon™ processor with 512 KB or1MB of cache memory. This Personal Workstation can support up to two Pentium III Xeon processors. This processor is described in the section “Intel Pentium III Xeon Processor” in the chapter “System Board.”

The components of the system board are described in the chapter “System Board.” The characteristics of the Personal Workstation’s video, disk and networking devices are described in the chapter “Interface Boards and Mass-Storage Drives.” The HP BIOS routines are summarized in the chapter “HP BIOS.” The Power-On Self-Test routines are described in the chapter “Tests and Error Messages.”

This light has four states:

Blank Indicates that the computer is off. Green Indicates that the computer is turned on and running

correctly.

Red Indicates that there is a Power-On Self-Test (POST)

1. PCI and AGP power electrical speciﬁcations must be respected. For example, the maximum power consumption for the PCI slot is 25 W. The total power PCI consumption must never exceed 85 W. For the AGP slot, 2 A maximum at +5 V.

An attempt to draw too much current (such as, a short circuit across edge-connector pins, or an accessory board that is not suitable for these Personal Workstations), will cause the overload protection in the power supply to be triggered, and the Personal Workstation could fail to boot.

NOTE

When the Personal Workstation is turned off with the power button on the front panel, the power consumption falls below the low power level (refer to Table 1-5), but is not zero. The special on/off method used by this Personal Workstation extends the lifetime of the power supply. To reach zero power consumption in “off” mode, either unplug the Personal Workstation form the power outlet or use a power block with a switch.

The power-on from the space-bar function is enabled provided:

• The computer is connected to a Power-On keyboard (recognizable by the Power-On icon on the space bar).

• The function has not been disabled by setting SW-8 to the ON position on the system board.

• The function has not been disabled in the Power menu of the setup program.

Soft Power Down

When the user requests the operating system to shutdown, the environment is cleared, and the computer is powered off. Soft Power Down is available with the Windows NT (when the Soft Power Down utility is used), Windows 95 and Windows 98 operating systems.
