Product Features

Processor-Local Bus Devices

• Intel PentiumTM II microprocessor (single or dual)

• Intel 440LX AGPsetTM

Intel Pentium II

microprocessor

Single or dual Pentium II processors are used in all models. Both the

microprocessor and 512 KB of Level II cache memory are contained within

the single integrated circuit package. Dual processor upgrade kits include the

Pentium II processor, heat sink and VRM.

AGP Graphics

Subsystem

Matrox Millennium II AGP graphics controllers are standard for all models

(refer to page 12 for details). The AGP is an extension of the DIB (Dual

Interface Bus) Pentium II processor architecture.

PCI Bus Devices

• Ultra SCSI I/O subsystem

• HP FastRAID Accessory Kit (some models)

Ultra SCSI I/O

Subsystem

Based on two separate Adaptec® SCSI controllers:

• 16-bit Wide Ultra SCSI controller, based on the Adaptec® AIC7880 chip,

provides transfer rates of up to 40 MB/s, and is entirely dedicated to inter-

nal hard disks.

• 8-bit Narrow Ultra SCSI controller, based on the Adaptec® AIC7860 chip,

provides transfer rates of up to 20 MB/s, and is used to control other in-

ternal and external devices.

SCSI accessories can be configured using the SCSISelectTM utility,

accessible by pressing during POST. The following features may be

configured:

• SCSI boot device configuration

• SCSI device configuration (assigning of device IDs to SCSI accessories)

• Array 1000 BIOS (only available with HP FastRAID Accessory Kit)

• Advanced configuration options

Refer to the User’s Guide for more detail on the SCSISelect utility.

Product Features

HP FastRAID

Accessory Kit

To enhance the performance of the 16-bit Wide Ultra SCSI channel, HP

FastRAID has been introduced as an option. HP FastRAID increases data

read/write speeds to the hard disk drives by read/write caching and disk

striping. Models with the HP FastRAID Accessory Kit have an Adaptec®

ARO-1130 PCI RAIDport adapter installed in the RAIDport connector slot.

The ARO-1130 adapter is supplied with 16 MB SIMM installed in the adapter

memory slot. If the adapter must be replaced, do not remove the SIMM

because the replacement adapter will be supplied with its own SIMM. In

addition, no reconfiguration of the FastRAID I/O subsystem is necessary

following the replacement of the ARO-1130 adapter, as all information

concerning the FastRAID configuration is stored on the hard disk drive(s).

Please refer to page 9 for information concerning the FastRAID

configuration when adding or replacing hard disk drives.

The ARO-1130 adapter and hard drive(s) come preconfigured for maximum

performance (RAID 0) but may also be configured to provide protection

against data loss (RAID 1).

The RAID 1 configuration provides software mirroring and caching. Data is

mirrored (duplicated) using a disk pair. If one disk fails, the data is still

available on the mirrored drive. The RAID 1 configuration also provides an

improvement in performance using the cache on the ARO-1130 adapter. It

does not, however, provide the same level of throughput as the RAID 0

(default) configuration. Also, because data is mirrored, the storage capacity

of the hard drives is only half the physical capacity of the drives.

All HP Kayak XU PC Workstation models contain the FastRAID port, and

so allow for post-purchase installation of the HP FastRAID Accessory Kit. It

should be noted that use of the ARO-1130 adapter with a single drive will

still increase performance due to the read/write caching feature built into

the ARO-1130 adapter.

Product Features

Other Features

• HP TopTools

• DiagTOOLS

• Ultra-Flow Cooling System

HP TopTools Pressing the HP TopTOOLS soft key on the HP enhanced keyboard opens the

utility. HP TopTOOLS allows remote management of each client PC, in the

following areas: asset inventory (model numbers, hard disk type, CPU etc.),

remote exploring and configuration of the client PC, remote BIOS update and

hardware monitoring (failure prediction, POST errors, temperature, voltage,

etc.) with remote alerting.

Monitoring of voltage and temperature of devices on the system board is

performed by two chips on the SM Bus. The LM78 chip controls voltage for

the processor(s) and monitors temperature via two sensors (at the hard

drives and on the PCI bus). The chip actively controls the fan speed as a

function of temperature (refer to the description of the Ultra-Flow Cooling

System below for more details). In addition, failure of any of the three fans

contained in the PC Workstation will be detected by this chip. The LM75

chip monitors the output of a third temperature sensor situated at the

processor(s).

DiagTOOLS The DiagTOOLS utility must be used when changing a hardware

component. It can currently be downloaded from HP’s World Wide Web

(WWW) site (refer to page 14). In future releases, the creation of a bootable

DiagTOOLS diskette will be possible directly from the TopTools utility.

Ultra-Flow Cooling

System

The HP TopTOOLS hardware monitoring utility uses three temperature

sensors (located at the processor(s), at the hard disk drives and near the

AGP slot) to control the speeds of three fans in the PC Workstation. A fourth

fan is built into the power supply assembly and operates independently of the

temperature sensors. Air flow guides direct the movement of cooling air over

critical components such as the processor(s).

NOTE The lower front fan is integrated in a single hardware part with the internal

speaker. The fan + speaker assembly is removed by sliding the unit out of the

side of the PC Workstation chassis. Similarly, the upper rear fan is integrated

with the airflow guide, and is removed by pressing the buttons on the left and

right bezels (refer to the diagram on page 9).

New HP BIOS and Setup Utility Features

Available Languages HP BIOS and the Setup utility are now available in 11 European languages.

Summary Configuration

Screen

A summary screen showing the PC Workstation’s configuration can be viewed

by pressing during POST.

Boot Priority The Setup utility now includes a Boot Menu, where you may select the order

of the devices from which the BIOS attempts to boot the operating system.

During POST, if the BIOS is unsuccessful at booting from one device, it will

then try the next one on the Boot Device Priority list until an operating

system is found.

Boot Priority Override An override on the boot priority can be made temporarily by pressing

during POST. A Boot Menu will appear on the screen, allowing a new boot

device to be chosen. This is only a temporary override, and the boot priority

will revert to that specified in the Setup utility for future boots.

Multiprocessing/

Uniprocessing

In dual processor models, the second processor (Processor 2) may be

disabled using the Setup utility option found in the Multiprocessing Menu,

located under the Advanced Menu.

Checking and Changing the System Configuration

HP Setup is accessed by pressing during POST when prompted. The

utility is menu-driven using the keyboard.

Flashing the Latest

Version of the System

BIOS

BIOS upgrades (English versions only) can be downloaded, onto diskettes,

from the HP World Wide Web site (refer to page 14). Multi-lingual BIOS

upgrades are available online from the Customer Support Center. Following

the instructions which you are given, you will obtain the flash utility

programs, FLASH.BAT and PHLASH.EXE, the BIOS file, and a file called

HB1xxxyy.FUL, (where xxx is the version number and yy is the language

number) on a DOS-bootable diskette. Insert the diskette into Drive A:.

Reboot the system. Enter the command: FLASH.

Recovery Boot Active Procedure (Force BIOS flash, Switch 10 Down Position)

Recovery Boot Active Procedure

(Force BIOS flash, Switch 10 Down Position)

If, for example, during a BIOS flash, the procedure is interrupted by a power

failure, and the system does not restart, then you can force a BIOS flash.

However, it should be noted that during the procedure, there is no image on

the screen, nor access to the keyboard or mouse (only “vital” devices that

are required to boot on the floppy device are initialized).

To force a BIOS flash, do the following steps:

1Ensure that you have created a DOS-bootable diskette (1.44 MB diskette

only). This floppy diskette contains all the recovery and system BIOS pro-

gramming software (phlash.exe, platform.bin and hb1xxxyy.Ful). Include

the flash command in the autoexec.bat, for example: phlash /mode=3

hb1xxxyy.Ful

2Turn off the computer.

3Set Switch 10 to the DOWN position (=on).

4Insert the DOS-bootable diskette.

5Power on the computer.

6During the recovery process, short beeps are emitted. The recovery

process is finished when there is a much longer beep (approximately

around 1 to 2 minutes).

7Power off the computer. Press the power ON/OFF button (for about 5

seconds), until the ON/OFF light switches off. Set the Switch 10 to the UP

position (=off).

Beep Codes

If a terminal error occurs during POST, the system issues a beep code before

attempting to display the error in the upper left corner of the screen. Beep

codes are useful for identifying the error when the system is unable to

display the error message.

POST and Error Codes

A list of all POST (Power-On Self-Test) and error codes are available

through electronic files from the Support Center.

If you wish to view the POST details, press the key when the Kayak

logo is being displayed at power on, and the checkpoint code of the test

currently in progress will appear in the upper right corner of the screen.

When POST is completed, the HP Summary Screen will appear.

1.If the BIOS detects error 2C or 2E (base 512K RAM error), it displays

an additional word-bitmap (xxxx) indicating the address line or bits that

failed. For example, “2C 0002” means address line 1 (bit one set) has

failed. “2E1020” means data bits 12 and 5(bits 12 and5 set) have failed

in the lower 16 bits.
