Applying Power to the HP NetServer
Powering Up the HP NetServer
1. Ensure the HP NetServer’s power cord or power cords are connected to the
power source. See Figure 2-4.
2. Press the Power button on the front control panel. See Figure 2-1 or 2-2.
NOTE
Each time AC power is applied (power cord is plugged in),
there is a 15 second delay (self test) before the front control
panel will respond to your actions.
Powering Down the HP NetServer
1. Log off all users and, if necessary, back-up files.
2. Follow instructions in your network operating system (NOS)
documentation to gracefully shut down all networking software and
applications.
3. Press the power switch on the HP NetServer’s control panel when
prompted by the operating system.
Normally, this completes the shutdown procedure.
NOTE
The power supply will continue to provide standby voltage to
the HP NetServer until the power cord(s) is/are disconnected.
Connecting AC Power to Multiple-Server Configurations
The HP NetServer temporarily draws a large "inrush current," when first
connected to an AC power source. This also occurs when the NetServer is in a
standby mode (power is turned off and the power cord is plugged into AC power).
The inrush current is much greater than the NetServer’s normal operating current
and generally, the AC power source can handle the normal inrush current.
However, if you install several HP NetServers on one circuit, precautions are
necessary. If there is a power failure and power is then restored, all the servers
immediately begin to draw inrush current at the same time. If the circuit breakers
on the incoming power line have insufficient capability, the breaker may trip and
thus prevent the servers from powering up.
When preparing your site for installation, allow for the additional inrush current.
See "Power Requirements" in Appendix A.

Chapter 2
Controls, Ports and Indicators
Sleep States (ACPI)
The HP NetServer supports the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power
Interface) standard, which is a key component of a NOS’s directed power
management. The supported features are only available when an ACPI-compliant
NOS is installed on the NetServer. The term “sleep state” refers to any of several
reduced power consumption states in which normal NOS activity has ceased.
The NetServer supports several sleep states, including a sleep state with a short
wake-up time, sometimes referred to as “standby” or “suspend” by various
operating systems. In this sleep state the NetServer appears to be off, and is
indicated by no display on the monitor and no activity for the CD-ROM or
internal hard drives. However, the power LED is slowly flashing and the fans are
operating.
An additional sleep state supported by the NetServer is one with a slower wake-up
time, sometimes referred to as “hibernate” by various operating systems. In this
sleep state, the NetServer appears to be off as mentioned earlier, but the fans and
the power LED are also turned off. This sleep state's unique feature (and the
reason for its slower wake-up time) is that the NetServer's state (applications
running, screens open, etc.) just prior to hibernate has been saved to disk and must
be restored from disk upon wake-up. This method of restoring the NetServer's
operation is much faster than rebooting the NetServer, which would require
running all the start-up self-tests before starting the NOS.
The NetServer supports certain types of system activity, which is used as wake-up
events from these sleep states. These wake-up events can be generated from the
power button, LAN activity, and scheduled events. The embedded Integrated
Remote Assistant also has the capability of waking up the NetServer.
NOTE
The HP NetServer’s power management policies (transitions
between various power states) and the user options are specific
to the particular ACPI-compliant NOS installed on the
NetServer. If your respective NOS is ACPI-compliant, refer to
the power management features in the instructions provided for
more information.
The HP NetServer’s power button can be configured to initiate a sleep state (Sleep
button) or a “soft off” or graceful shutdown of the NOS, rather than an immediate
shutdown of the power supply. The power button configurations are dependent on
the user interface provided by the ACPI-compliant NOS. While power
management is under the control of the ACPI-compliant NOS, the HP NetServer’s
power button is capable of an override in case of a non-responsive NOS.
19
Chapter 2

Controls, Ports, and Indicators
NOTE
The HP NetServer power button will force a power down
without waiting for the NOS to gracefully shut down the
system if the power button is pressed and held in excess of four
seconds.
CAUTION
If the power button override is used, there is a strong
possibility of corrupted or lost data.

4 Installing Mass Storage Devices
Introduction
This chapter describes how to install the internal mass storage devices, including
the internal SCSI Hot Swap hard disk drives and the optional Tape Backup
(DAT) Drive. The requirements for external SCSI drives are provided in the
respective topic later in this chapter.
NOTE
The two embedded SCSI controllers both operate as LVD
(Low-Voltage Differential) controllers, but if a SE
(single-ended) device is connected to the controller, it
automatically switches to SE and all SCSI devices connected to
the controller must operate as SE devices. A 68-pin to 50-pin
SCSI adapter is provided on the terminated SCSI cable used for
non-hot swap SCSI devices. If your system was not configured
with a backup (DAT) tape drive, you must use the terminated
non-hot swap cable for the tape drive.
Installing Storage Devices After Shipment
If you are installing mass storage devices that were not shipped with your HP
NetServer, certain configurations may require additional cables or adapters not
provided with your HP NetServer shipment. For part numbers of the required
items, such as HP cables, adapters, trays, and configuration information, see
Information Assistant on the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM.
For new products, you may use Order Assistant on the HP web site at:
http://www.hp.com/go/netserver
You may select "Buy HP" and choose the country and desired option that best
suits your needs. You may also download the Order Assistant utility.
Tools Required
l Torx T-5 or T-10 driver (non-Hot Swap devices)
l Torx T-15 driver (non-Hot Swap devices)

Installing Mass Storage Devices
Drive Bay Shelves
The non-hot swap drives include the IDE CD-ROM and the 3.5 inch flexible disk
drives which are standard for all HP NetServer models (LC 2000/2000r) and ship
with each unit. The two empty drive shelves beneath the CD ROM drive support
other non-hot swap SCSI devices, such as hard drives (3.5-inch or 5.25-inch), tape
back-up devices, or other HP-tested (LVD or SE) SCSI accessories.
The system chassis ships with a Hot Swap Mass Storage cage supporting up to six
low-profile Hot Swap hard drives or three half-height Hot Swap hard drives.

Boot Priority
This section details the HP NetServer’s boot order by highest to lowest priority.
The on-board SCSI controller has two channels, A and B. Channel A is typically
used to control the Hot Swap SCSI drives. Channel B is typically used to control
the internal non-hot swap SCSI drives. On each SCSI channel, the NetServer
scans for a boot device starting at device ID 0 and proceeds up from there.
The HP NetServer’s boot order (BIOS search order for a boot device) should be
considered, when connecting cables from the on board SCSI channels. A SCSI
drive’s boot priority is set by the drive’s location in the boot order. See Figure 4-1.
34
Chapter 4
Installing Mass Storage Devices
You can change this boot order using the Setup Utility (BIOS) and the SCSI
Configuration Utility during the boot process. Refer to Chapter 10 "Configuring
the HP NetServer" for more information.
By default the NetServer searches for boot devices in this order:
1. IDE CD-ROM drive
2. Flexible disk drive
3. SCSI A bus (typically Hot Swap Mass Storage Cage)
4. SCSI B bus (typically non-Hot Swap internal SCSI devices)
5. PCI Slot P1
6. PCI Slot P2
7. PCI slot P3
8. PCI slot P4
9. PCI slot P5
10. PCI slot P6
Hardware Mirroring
You may choose to mirror the drives (RAID 1) in the HP NetServer’s Hot Swap
Mass Storage Cage. However, doing so through software slows down disk access
time, but using hardware mirroring can help speed up disk access time.
Hardware mirroring requires a dual channel SCSI controller, which allows you to
use the two embedded SCSI controllers (SCSI A and B) or install an HP NetRAID
(Drive Array Controller – DAC) PCI board to control the two mirrored channels.
To use hardware mirroring on the SCSI Hot Swap cage you must install the
optional duplex accessory board. Ensure you use a PCI DAC board with an LVD
compatible interface.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the interface or the PCI DAC board,
don't use a HVD (High Voltage Differential) DAC board.
35
Chapter 4
Installing Mass Storage Devices
Mass Storage Guidelines
• General Guidelines
◊
Use care when unpacking and handling the disk drives.
The hard disk drives are very susceptible to mechanical shock and can
be easily damaged by a drop as short as one-quarter of an inch. If the
drop would crack an egg, it will damage the drive.
◊
Do not stack drives.
◊
Do not use high voltage differential (HVD) SCSI devices on any of the
SCSI channels or damage will occur. Use only Single-Ended (SE) or
Low-Voltage Differential (LVD) devices.
• SCSI Device Selection
◊
Ensure the SCSI devices you install in both Hot Swap and non-Hot
Swap-drive bays do not have terminations installed. The non-Hot Swap
SCSI drives are connected to a terminated cable and the Hot Swap cage
provides the termination for any unused slots in the cage.
◊
Use only HP LVD SCSI 3.5-inch hard disk drives for the Hot Swap
drive cage.
You can use a combination of half-height (1.6-inch) and low-profile
(1.0 inch) drives in the Hot Swap cage, but be sure to use spacers and
filler panels to cover any openings. The HP Hot Swap drives come set
for LVD SCSI operation and without device ID or termination. Do not
change these settings.
◊
Use only 3.5-inch or 5.25-inch single-ended (SE) SCSI devices for the
non-Hot Swap shelves.
The available space in the non-Hot Swap shelves supports two
half-height (1.6 inch) devices. You can order HP mounting kits for
removable media devices or trays for 3.5-inch hard disk drives
(half-height). You may use narrow/wide SCSI adapters on these
devices.
CAUTION
36
When installing Hot Swap drives, you must install one drive
spacer with each half-height (1.6 inch) drive and ensure there
are no drive gaps in the cage to provide proper ventilation.
Chapter 4
Installing Mass Storage Devices
• SCSI Drive Addressing
◊
The drives in the Hot Swap Cage are automatically assigned SCSI
addresses by the HP NetServer.
The Hot Swap drive’s address is dependent on its position within the
drive cage and the combination of half-height and low-profile SCSI
drives installed. Refer to Figures 4-2 through 4-5 for the automatic
SCSI ID assignments.
The Hot Swap Cage also supports the installation of a Duplex board,
which divides the cage in two equal halves. The only drive addresses
available in this case are 0 through 2. Refer to Figures 4-4 and 4-5 for
duplexed cage drive examples.
◊
The non-hot swap SCSI devices use SCSI IDs from 0 through 15, with
the following restrictions:
a. Narrow SCSI devices must be addressed 0 through 6.
b. Wide SCSI devices may be addressed 0 through 15, except for ID 7,
which is held by the SCSI controller.
The non-hot swap SCSI devices are all connected to the same cable,
which is terminated and connected to one SCSI controller. Each SCSI
device connected to the non-hot swap device connector must have a
unique address.
• SCSI Device Installation Order
The Hot Swap Cage's supported hard drive configurations for both HP
NetServer models are shown in Figures 4-2 through 4-5. The arrows
indicate the order of hard drive installation.
◊
Start from the bottom of the Hot Swap drive cage when adding hard
drives in the HP NetServer LC 2000.
If you are using one or more filler panels, insert them at the top of the
cage. These configurations may use filler panels and drive spacers to
close up the front of the Hot Swap mass storage cage. If there are gaps
in the cage, the drives may not receive the proper ventilation and could
suffer thermal damage.
◊
Start from the left of the Hot Swap drive cage when adding hard drives
in the HP NetServer LC 2000r.
If you are using one or more filler panels, insert the panels on the right
side of the drive cage. These configurations may use filler panels and
drive spacers to close up the front of the Hot Swap mass storage cage.
37
Chapter 4
Installing Mass Storage Devices
If there are gaps in the cage, the drives may not receive the proper
ventilation and could suffer thermal damage.
• Filler Panels and Spacers
◊
Ensure all empty slots in the Hot Swap drive cage have filler panels
inserted to ensure proper airflow.
If there are fewer drives than the Hot Swap drive cage supports, a
1-inch filler panel must be inserted in each empty disk location. The
filler panels ensure the drive cage has the proper ventilation and
airflow. The filler panel will be removed before inserting a new drive.
◊
Ensure all smaller spaces in the Hot Swap drive cage have the smaller
filler panels inserted to ensure properly airflow.
If there is a mix of 1-inch and 1.6-inch drives in the drive cage, you
may need to add ½-inch drive spacers. The smaller drive spacer fills the
gap between adjacent drives or between a drive and a filler panel. Disk
spacers can be mounted on 1-inch low-profile drives or 1.6-inch
half-height drives, so a drive spacer and low-profile drive are the same
size as a half-height drive, and a drive spacer and a half-height drive
are as large as two low-profile drives.
CAUTION
To prevent overheating or excessive electromagnetic
radiation, use the filler panels and spacers to fill the gaps
between Hot Swap hard drives. If the filler panels or spacers
are left out of the drive shelves, thermal damage and/or
excessive EMI could occur.
• Hot Swap Drive Cage Configurations
The possible Hot Swap Drive Cage Configurations are summarized in
Figures 4-2 through 4-5 for the HP NetServer’s LC 2000r and LC 2000
respectively. There are various SCSI cable configurations associated with
the system and, if incorrectly configured, could cause damage to the HP
NetServer and the SCSI devices. Refer to Figures 4-6 and 4-7.
Hot Swap Configuration Options
The Hot Swap Mass Storage Cage has various configurations which affects the
options installed and cable configurations. If the Duplex board is installed on the
mass storage cage, the drive and cable configurations differ from those shown
without the duplex board installed. Compare Figures 4-2 and 4-4 or 4-3 and 4-5.

Cabling Configurations
There are various SCSI cable configurations associated with the HP NetServer
and if all possible SCSI devices and connections are used, then an additional SCSI
disk controller is required. Table 4-1 describes the various cables and where each
one can be connected. The example configurations shown in Figures 4-6 and 4-7
assume the maximum number of SCSI devices and connections.
l Do not connect the SCSI terminated cable (# 3) to the Hot Swap Mass
Storage Cage’s connector A or B, or unreliable operation will occur.
l The Hot Swap Mass Storage Cage can have up to six drives with only one
SCSI cable connected.
l The Hot Swap Mass Storage Cage can also be split into two equal parts,
with up to three drives each (requires duplex board accessory kit), and uses
two independent SCSI busses, which require two SCSI cables.
If the duplex board is installed, the two embedded SCSI controllers, a dual
channel SCSI disk controller board, or a DAC board must be used to
control the two halves of the Hot Swap Mass Storage Cage.

6 Installing Additional Boards
Introduction
This chapter describes how to install accessory boards into the system board of the
HP NetServer LC 2000/2000r. The system board provides up to six PCI slots
(P1 through P6), two of which are 64-bit slots.
Tested PCI Boards
For a list of tested PCI boards, check for compatibility in Configuration Assistant
on the Navigator CD-ROM or look for the Hardware Tested Products list for the
HP NetServer LC 2000/2000r under the Service and Support topic for the specific
NOS used in the NetServer at HP’s web site:
http://www.hp.com/netserver/support/compatibility
CAUTION
Some accessory board outputs may exceed U.S. National
Electrical code (NFPA 70) Class 2 or limited power source
limits and must use appropriate interconnecting cabling in
accordance with the National Electrical Code. (All
Hewlett-Packard boards comply with Class 2.)
Tools Required
The following tools are required for installation or removal of the accessories
boards in the HP NetServer LC 2000/2000r:
• An anti-static service kit (3M™ 8501/8502/8503 or equivalent). This kit
includes a static-dissipating work surface, a chassis clip lead, and a wrist
strap with ground lead.
Remote Control Card
The HP NetServer LC 2000/2000r may use the HP TopTools Remote Control card
in any PCI slot on the system board. The Remote Control card supports HP
TopTools software. An I2C connector is provided on the system board. For more
information on use of the HP TopTools Remote Control function, see Chapter 11,
"Information Assistant," and Chapter 10, "Configuring the HP NetServer."
61
Chapter 6
Installing Additional Boards
Boot Priority
This section details the HP NetServer’s boot order by highest to lowest priority.
The NetServer’s boot order (BIOS search order for a boot drive) should be
considered when selecting a slot on the system board. This is especially important
if you are installing a SCSI disk controller board. The disk controller’s boot
priority is set by the board’s slot location. See Figure 6-1.
The on-board SCSI consists of two channels, A and B. Channel A is typically
used to control the Hot Swap SCSI drives. Channel B is typically used to control
the internal non-hot swap SCSI drives. On each SCSI channel, the system scans
for a boot device starting at device ID 0 and works up from there.
By default the NetServer searches for boot devices in this order:
1. IDE CD-ROM drive
2. Flexible disk drive
3. SCSI A bus (typically the Hot Swap Mass Storage Cage)
4. SCSI B bus (typically the non-Hot Swap internal SCSI devices)
5. PCI slot P1
6. PCI slot P2
7. PCI slot P3
8. PCI slot P4
9. PCI slot P5
10. PCI slot P6
NOTE
62
The NetServer can be configured to boot from a PCI accessory
board or PCI-based DAC, instead of the onboard SCSI
channels, by putting the board in one of the PCI slots. The
SCSI Configuration Utility can be used to configure the
NetServer to skip over the onboard SCSI channels and select a
PCI slot instead, when scanning for boot devices. For
instructions, refer to the SCSI Configuration Utility in Chapter
10, "Configuring the HP NetServer."
Chapter 6
Installing Additional Boards
IRQ Settings
The IRQ settings are automatically assigned and don’t require user intervention.
PCI boards have the capability of sharing hardware interrupts (IRQs) with other
PCI boards, as stated in the PCI specifications, but this does not always prove to
be true between board manufacturers. To solve this problem requires an in-depth
knowledge of a server’s implementation to place a PCI board in a slot that would
not conflict with another PCI board’s IRQ setting.
The HP NetServer provides various ways to automatically share interrupts in the
NetServer. The sharing mode can be selected under the heading "Sharing
Algorithms" in the Setup Utility. The IRQs are automatically assigned during boot
up for each PCI slot and embedded device in the NetServer, avoiding any IRQ
conflicts and providing the best performance. This feature also provides a way of
manually assigning IRQs when disabling the Sharing Algorithm feature. Refer to
Chapter 10, "Configuring the HP NetServer," for more information.
These IRQ assignments trigger the installed NOS to enable the APIC (Advanced
Programmable Interrupt Controller) which takes control of the IRQ sharing
scheme. You are not required to manually assign interrupts for the following
NOSs:
l Microsoft’s NT 4.0
l Novell’s NetWare 5
l SCO UnixWare 7
NOTE
SCO UnixWare 7 requires installation of the OSMP module to
enable the APIC mode.
System Board PCI Slots
All accessory boards plug into the six slots on system board at the rear of the
NetServer’s chassis. See Figure 6-1.
• Four PCI slots (P1-P4) support full length 32-bit boards at a clock rate of
33 MHz. These slots only support +5 VDC power and Universal boards.
These slots have keys in the upper half of the board slot to prevent 3.3 volt
boards from being inserted into the slots.
NOTE
Universal boards automatically switch to accept power from a
+5.0 or +3.3 VDC source and have a key slot in the connector
to allow installation in any of the 6 PCI slots.
63
Chapter 6
Installing Additional Boards
• Two PCI slots (P5-P6) support full-length 32- or 64-bit boards at clock
rates of 33 MHz. These slots only support +5 VDC power and Universal
boards. These slots have keys in the upper half of the board slot to prevent
3.3 volt boards from being inserted into the slots.
CAUTION
Some accessory board outputs may exceed U.S. National
Electrical code (NFPA 70) Class 2 or limited power source
limits and must use appropriate interconnect cabling in
accordance with the National Electrical Code.
• I/O connections – The system board provides connections to support the
video monitor, mouse, keyboard, one serial port, one management port,
one parallel port, and an embedded NIC port.

7 Installing Additional Processors
Introduction
The HP NetServer LC 2000/2000r supports two processors in primary and
secondary slots and both processors must operate at the same speed and cache
size.
The HP NetServer supports the Pentium III processors at a front side bus (FSB)
speed of 133 MHz. Advanced processors will be supported as each one becomes
available. Contact HP or your reseller for details.
The NetServer ships with one processor in the primary processor slot and one
voltage regulator module (VRM) installed its respective VRM slot. Both
processors and VRM slots are located on the system board.
Tools Required
• An anti-static service kit (3M 8501/8502/8503 or equivalent). This kit
includes a static-dissipating work surface, a chassis clip lead, and a wrist
strap.
Processor Configuration Guidelines
The HP NetServer LC 2000/2000r supports a variety of processor speeds with an
FSB speed of 133 MHz.
CAUTION
Do not open the new processor’s protective bag or remove it
from the bag until you are ready to install it.
Before you remove a processor from the anti-static container,
touch a grounded, unpainted metal surface on the HP
NetServer to discharge static electricity.
• Both processor modules must be the same processor type and have the
same product number, which insures the same clock speed, cache size, and
FSB speed.
• The processor modules must operate at the designated speed stated by the
product type on the processor.
71
Chapter 7
Installing Additional Processors
CAUTION
Do not set the processor speed switches to any other speed, as
this can result in unreliable or intermittent performance, and
data integrity may also be at risk.
l Use only processor upgrade kits with the same HP product number. This
ensures the processor type, clock speed, and cache size match, and that
product numbers are compatible.
l Ensure you install the processor module and its respective VRM in the
secondary slot, if the primary processor is already installed.

NOTE
Rack-Mounting the HP NetServer
If you want to put your NetServer into a third-party rack not
mentioned in the guide, you may be able to find relevant
documentation on HP’s web site at the following URL:
http://www.hp.com/netserver/support
The HP NetServer rack mount kit requires five EIA units of space in the rack.
Before mounting the NetServer, plan the NetServer’s location in the rack relative
to other rack components. Proper placement is vital both for safety and operating
efficiency. For more details, see the HP Rack Installation Road Map and the HP
NetServer LC 2000r Rack Cabling Reference Guide.
NOTE
If the HP NetServer is completely configured by the vendor
before delivery to the customer, then mounting the HP
NetServer in the rack may be the final step in the installation
procedure. If the vendor configures the HP NetServer at the
customer’s site, installation of the network operating system
and other software may occur after the HP NetServer is
mounted in the rack.
WARNING
The HP NetServer weighs 80 lbs. (36 kg) fully loaded. To
prevent an accident, use two people when placing the
NetServer into the rack.
CAUTION
If other rack components are to be mounted in the rack below
the HP NetServer, install those components before starting to
mount the NetServer.
Tools Required
To assemble the rack mount kit and install the HP NetServer on it, you need these
tools.
• T-15 and T-25 Torx Drivers
• Number 2 Phillips screwdriver
l Marking pen
80
Chapter 8
Rack-Mounting the HP NetServer
Safety Precautions
Always keep the following safety and environmental issues in mind, especially if
you install the HP NetServer in a non-HP rack environment:
l Optimum Operating Environment – The optimum operating conditions
for the HP NetServer is in an environmental controlled computer room
with a temperature range of 20 to 22°C (68 to 72°F) at 40 to 60% relative
humidity.
• Maximum Ambient Temperature - Ensure the maximum ambient
temperature does not exceed 35°C (95° F).
• Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature - The ambient operating
temperature within a closed or multi-unit rack assembly is likely to exceed
the room's ambient temperature. Ensure the temperature within the rack
itself does not exceed 35°C (95°F).
• Reduced Air Flow - As you mount equipment in the rack, ensure you
allow enough air flow for safe operation of the equipment. The NetServer's
fans will only operate correctly if both front and rear doors of the rack
allow free air flow (perforated openings), or are removed.
• Mechanical Loading - Uneven mechanical loading within the rack can
cause hazardous conditions. To prevent this in your installation plans,
place the heaviest components in the bottom of the rack, mounting all
components as low in the rack as is practical.
• Circuit Overloading - Ensure the total configuration of equipment in the
rack does not overload the supply circuit. To this end, check the nameplate
ratings on all equipment. Consider the effect of circuit overloading on
overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
• Reliable Earth Grounding - Maintain reliable earth grounding of
rack-mounted equipment. Give particular attention to supply connections
that are not direct connections to the branch circuit: for example, using
non-HP power strips.

Chapter 8
Rack-Mounting the HP NetServer
Preparing the Rack
The column adapters and rack nuts must be connected to the rack before mounting
the slide mechanism. Once the slides are correctly mounted, then the HP
NetServer LC 2000r can be installing into the rack. A cardboard rack mounting
template comes with the HP NetServer. The template identifies the column
adapter and rack nut locations on the rack.

HP Integrated Remote Assistant
Your HP NetServer comes with a built in product called the HP Integrated
Remote Assistant (referred to as Integrated RA). Integrated RA combines
intelligent hardware and software for your NetServer that provides administrators
with instant notification of NetServer operations and events.
The HP Integrated RA performs most of the same functions as the TopTools
Remote Control Card, except it uses an ASCII interface, can only be accessed
through a modem connection and does not provide e-mail notification. For details
on setup and configuration of Integrated RA, refer to the HP NetServer Online
Documenation CD-ROM or the Remote Administrator Guide included with your
system.
Integrated RA consists of:
• Built-in Integrated RA Features – Remote management features are
incorporated in the system board circuitry. Your HP NetServer includes a
processor that permits server access independent of the NetServer's
operating status. The Management Port on your NetServer allows serial
(either modem or direct) communications with a remote PC or terminal.
The Integrated RA can continue to monitor your NetServer even if it has
been powered down, as long as the NetServer remains plugged in.
• Remote Server Control and Management – A management application
stored in firmware provides for remote server control and management. HP
Integrated RA features include console redirection, power switch control,
event logging, and pager notification. An administrator can use the
management software to transfer files between the NetServer and remote
client and run DOS utilities on the NetServer. For example, you can
remotely update the HP NetServer's BIOS.
• Integrated RA Configuration Utility – This DOS-based utility allows
you to tailor NetServer operations for you particular requirements. You can
use the utility to setup parameters for pager alerts and to enter
administrator names for operation from different remote clients.
• Optimized Windows-based Terminal Emulation Software
(pcANYWHERE32 from Symantec Corporation) – This software
allows an administrator to easily connect to Integrated RA from a remote
PC to monitor NetServer status, run diagnostics, or remotely take over
server operations. An administrator can also use any ANSI terminal
emulator or a dedicated terminal to communicate with the NetServer and
run the management application.

Chapter 13
Alternative Rack Mounting
The HP NetServer LC 2000r rack mount kit requires five EIA units of space in the
rack. Before mounting the NetServer, plan for the NetServer’s location in the rack
relative to other rack components. Proper placement is vital both for safety and
operating efficiency. For more details, see the Rack Installation Road Map and the
HP NetServer LC 2000r Rack Cabling Reference Guide.
NOTE
If the HP NetServer is completely configured by the vendor
before delivery to the customer, then mounting the HP
NetServer in the rack may be the final step in the installation
procedure. If the vendor configures the HP NetServer at the
customer’s site, installation of the network operating system
and other software may occur after the HP NetServer is
mounted in the rack.
CAUTION
The HP NetServer weighs 80 lbs. (36 kg). To avoid accidents,
use two people when placing the HP NetServer into the rack.
If other rack components are to be mounted in the rack below
the HP NetServer, install those components before starting to
mount the NetServer.
Tools Required
You need these tools to mount the HP NetServer in the rack:
• Nut driver or wrench
• T-15 and T-25 Torx Drivers
• Number 2 Phillips screwdriver
• Marking pen
146
Chapter 13
Alternative Rack Mounting
Safety Precautions
Always keep the following safety and environmental issues in mind, especially if
you install the HP NetServer in a non-HP rack environment:
l Optimum Operating Environment – The optimum operating conditions
for the HP NetServer is in an environmental controlled computer room
with a temperature range of 20 to 22°C (68 to 72°F) at 40 to 60% relative
humidity.
• Maximum Ambient Temperature – Ensure the maximum ambient
temperature does not exceed 35°C (95° F).
• Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature – The ambient operating
temperature within a closed or multi-unit rack assembly may exceed the
room's ambient temperature. Ensure the temperature within the rack itself
does not exceed 35°C (95° F).
• Reduced Air Flow – As you mount equipment in the rack, ensure you
allow enough air flow for safe operation of the equipment. The NetServer's
fans will only operate correctly if both front and rear doors of the rack
allow free air flow (perforated openings), or are removed.
• Mechanical Loading – Uneven mechanical loading within the rack can
cause hazardous conditions. To prevent this in your installation plans,
place the heaviest components in the bottom of the rack, mounting all
components as low in the rack as is practical.
• Circuit Overloading – Ensure the total configuration of equipment in the
rack does not overload the supply circuit. To this end, check the nameplate
ratings on all equipment. Consider the effect of circuit overloading on
overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
• Reliable Earth Grounding – Maintain reliable grounding of
rack-mounted equipment. Give particular attention to supply connections
not directly connected to the branch circuit: such as, using non-HP power
strips.

B Regulatory Information
Regulatory Notices - Electromagnetic Compliance
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) requirements have been established in
many countries to regulate the radio frequency energy generated by Information
Technology Equipment (ITE). This energy is generated during the normal and
intended use of this equipment and so it is limited by country regulations to levels
intended to minimize potential interference to other electrical equipment,
including public safety services.
Two levels of radio frequency energy are allowed according to the type or use of
equipment. Class A levels have been established for use in commercial or
business environments. Class B levels are lower than the class A requirement and
have been established for use in residential environments. Class B levels are also
suitable when the environment includes electrically sensitive equipment.
The NetServer equipment you have purchased has been provided with a
compliance label to indicate where it may be used with reasonable protection to
the environment in which it is used. Additional statements are provided below as
required by the requirements of international and domestic regulations.
NOTE
Check the label on your product to determine the level of
operation.
Notice for United States
Class B Equipment
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC (Federal Communications
Commission) Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates
and uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur
in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
167
Appendix B
Regulatory Information
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for help.
Hewlett-Packard’s system certification tests were conducted with HP-supported
peripheral devices and HP shielded cables, such as those you receive with your
computer. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Hewlett-Packard
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. Cables used with this
device must be properly shielded to comply with the requirements of the FCC.
Class A Equipment
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Class A
digital devices, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC (Federal Communications
Commission) Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions manual,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which
case the user is required to correct the interference at their own expense.
Class A Accessories
Installation and use of a Class A accessory creates a system that meets the
requirements for industrial and commercial environments. If you are installing a
class A accessory in a system that has been labeled as a class B product, the
requirements and notice for class A equipment shall be applied.
