Removing and Replacing the Cover and Front Bezel

Removing the Cover

For your own safety, it is recommended that you first read the warning notices on in the Introductory Section.

1 Switch off the display and computer. Disconnect all power cables and

any LAN or telecommunications cables.

2 Unscrew the two thumb screws located at the back of the PC

Workstation.

3 Standing at the back of the PC Workstation, slide the cover towards you

until it clicks into place.

4 Tilt the cover sidewards, then lift off the PC Workstation chassis.

Removing the Front Bezel

5 If required, remove the front bezel which is divided into two sections:

• The upper bezel (blue) gives access to three 5.25-inch shelves and two

3.5-inch shelves.

• The lower bezel (grey) gives access to the control panel. To access the

lower bezel, you must first remove the upper bezel.

Replacing the Cove r and Front Bezel

1 Ensure that all internal cables are properly connected and safely routed.

2 If necessary, replace the front bezel. To do this, ensure that the bezel is

correctly orientated, align the two plastic tabs with their slots on the right-hand side of the chassis, and then close the bezel. If you have removed both sections of the front bezel, first replace the lower bezel.

3 Standing at the back of the PC, lower the cover onto the chassis (aligning

the guide rail on the bottom inside edge of the cover with the bottom edge of the PC chassis).

4 Shut the cover ensuring that the guides on the top of the cover slide into

the rails at the top of the chassis.

5 Slide the cover forwards, then tighten the two thumbscrews.

6 If required, lock the cover using the key provided. Reconnect all the

power and telecommunications cables.

Removing and Replacing a Processor

Single-processor systems can be upgraded to dual-processor systems by installing a second processor in the vacant processor slot. The second processor must be of the same type, speed and level-2 cache memory capacity as the first.

1 Switch off the display and PC Workstation. Disconnect all power cables

and any LAN or telecommunications cables.

2 Remove the PC Workstation’s cover (refer to page 3 for instructions).

3 Remove the HP UltraFlow Airflow Guide (refer to page 5).

4 If you intend to:

a Remove a Processor:

Press the retention clips on both sides of the processor outwards. Then gently lift the processor upwards from the processor connector, taking care not to tilt it too much.

b Install a Second Processor:

Remove the processor terminator from the CPU 2 connector. Store the terminator in a safe place. For information about upgrading the operating system, refer to "HP DualExpress!", on page 7.

Removing and Replacing a Processor

Installing a Processor

NOTE HP Kayak XU800 PC Workstations include a Voltage Regulator Module

NOTE The processor type and speed is automatically recognized by the BIOS.

1 Ensure that the edges of the processor are lined-up with the processor

connector guide rails along the retention mechanism.

2 Place one hand on the processor’s heatsink and push down onto the

processor connector. You hear two clicks as the retention mechanism pops back, thereby locking the processor into the processor connector.

(VRM) socket on the system board. When installing a second processor, the VRM delivered with the processor accessory kit must be installed in this socket. A VRM is not required on the HP Kayak XM600 PC Workstation.

3 Replace the HP UltraFlow Airflow Guide (refer to page 5).

4 Replace the PC Workstation’s cover (refer to page 4). Reconnect all the

power and telecommunications cables.

This means that no particular switch setting changes are required.

HP DualExpress!

Included with the HP Processor Accessory is the HP DualExpress! application. This application is to be used when upgrading Windows NT from a single-processor to a multi-processor system.

Using an installation Wizard, HP DualExpress! guides you through the operating system upgrade which should take less than five minutes to complete.

Launching HP DualExpress!

The second processor must be installed and the PC booted. For now, Windows NT will still only recognize the original processor. Insert the HP DualExpress! floppy disk in the floppy disk drive and follow the instructions. When the upgrade is complete, the system reboots. This time a multi-processing system is recognized.

Removing, Replacing and Upgrading Memory on HP Kayak XM600 Models Shipped with SDRAM

Upgrading SDRAM Memory

SDRAM models of the HP Kayak XM600 are supplied with a Memory Expansion Card supporting one or two Synchronized Dynamic RAM (SDRAM) 100 MHz memory modules.

NOTE Use only the HP memory modules provided for your PC model. If you want

to find out about available accessories for your PC, refer to the HP Accessories Web site at: http://www.hp.com/go/pcaccessories.

If two memory modules are installed, and they do not have identical capacities, then the module with the highest capacity must be installed in the memory slot nearest to the system board.

If only one memory module is installed, it can be installed in either socket. The unused socket should be left empty; no continuity module or terminator is required.

The Memory Expansion Card is installed in a reserved memory socket on the system board (the socket furthest from the processor(s)).

The two remaining memory sockets on the system board, RIMM0 and RIMM1 must each contain a continuity module.

Removing and Replacing an SDRAM Module

1 Switch off the display and PC Workstation. Disconnect all power cables

and any LAN or telecommunications cables.

2 Remove the PC Workstation’s cover (refer to page 3 for instructions).

3 Remove the HP UltraFlow Airflow Guide to obtain access to the SDRAM

modules and sockets on the memory expansion card (refer to page 5 for instructions).

NOTE Install memory modules directly onto the Memory Expansion Card

without removing it from the system board.

4 To remove a memory module, open the two retaining clips and remove

the module out of the socket

5 To install a module, ensure that the two notches of the memory module

are aligned with those of the socket. With the two retaining clips open, press the memory module completely into the socket. You hear two clicks as the retaining clips click into position

Upgrading RDRAM Memory

RDRAM models of the HP Kayak XM600 PC Workstation support one or two RAMBUS Direct RAM (RDRAM) memory modules.

NOTE Use only the HP memory modules provided for your PC model. If you want

to find out about available accessories for your PC, refer to the HP Accessories Web site at: http://www.hp.com/go/pcaccessories.

If only one RDRAM module is installed, it must be installed in the socket nearest the processor(s).

If two RDRAM modules are installed, they must be installed in the two sockets nearest the processor(s).

Any unused memory socket must contain a continuity module.

NOTE The system board may also have a third memory socket. This socket is

reserved uniquely for the SDRAM Memory Expansion Card supplied with SDRAM models.

Memory Upgrades on the HP Kayak XU800

There is a single Memory Expansion Card connector on the system board that supports a Memory Expansion Card installed with either RIMM or DIMM sockets.

NOTE Do not install a memory module directly into a Memory Expansion Card

connector on the system board.

Depending on your PC Workstation, one of the following options is available:

• Four RIMM sockets. Each socket hosts RDRAM ECC memory modules

installed in pairs that must contain the same parameters per channel. The first two RIMM sockets A0-B0, closest to the system board, contain the first pair of memory modules. Upgrades are then installed in RIMM sockets A1-B1.

RIMM socket A0

RIMM socket B0

RIMM socket A1

RIMM socket B1

Any unused RIMM sockets must contain a continuity module. If all sockets are used, store the continuity modules in a safe place for future upgrade possibilities. A RIMM memory module has several parameters that must be taken into consideration when upgrading memory:

ECC Type. RIMM modules exist in either ECC or non-ECC versions.

❒

However, the HP Kayak XU800 PC Workstation supports only ECC RIMM modules.

Speed Rating. Speed ratings for RIMM modules exist between: PC600

❒

to PC800. When upgrading memory, RIMM modules should only be installed with the same speed rating.
