Installing the Accessory Board
Use this procedure to install the accessory board and observe the installation guidelines
listed earlier.
1. If the Netserver is already installed and working, power down the Netserver.
Refer to Chapter 1, "Controls, Ports, and Indicators."
2. Disconnect the power cable and any external cables connected to the Netserver.
If necessary, label each one to expedite re-assembly.
WARNING The power supply will continue to provide standby current to
the Netserver until the power cable is disconnected.
3. Remove the Netserver from the rack.
Refer to Chapters 7, 8 or 13 (depending on rack type) to remove the Netserver from
the rack.
If there is enough space above the Netserver in the rack, you may be able to install
the accessory board from the rear of the Netserver while it is still in the rack.
4. Lay the Netserver on a flat surface and then remove the top cover.
Refer to Chapter 2, "Opening and Closing the HP Netserver."
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.
5. Read the documentation included with the accessory board and follow any special
instructions.
NOTE Adding a PCI-to-PCI bridge board to the HP Netserver may
alter the Netserver's boot order. This boot order can be changed
using the Setup Utility (press [F2] during the boot process).
Refer to "Boot Priority" earlier in this chapter.
6. Locate the riser board and its securing clamp in the Netserver.
See Figures 5-2 and 5-3.
