1 In sta lla tion P r oced u r es
HP9000/K570 systems, as with many other HP9000 systems, have a primary HP-HSC
Expansion I/O slot for upgrades. This slot is immediately to the right of the Core I/O card
as viewed from the rear of the system (refer to Figure 1).
HP9000/K570 systems can optionally use the slot to the right of the primary expansion I/O
slot for additional processors or as a secondary HP-HSC Expansion I/O slot. The A3694A
Dual-Bus 4-Slot HP-HSC Expansion I/O product adds an additional four I/O slots in this
position.
Electr osta tic Disch a r ge
CPU cards and computer systems contain assemblies and components that are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD). Carefully observe the precautions listed in this section and
use the ESD wrist strap, ESD sheet, and ESD foam pad provided in the ESD kit (part
number A3024-80004). The following precautions can significantly reduce the risk of
system failure or component damage due to ESD.
•
Always wear a grounded wrist strap when working around a system or handling the
CPU card.
•
•
Treat all assemblies, components, cards, and connections as sensitive.
When unpacking cards or components to the system, keep the item in it's conductive
bag until it is ready to be installed.
•
•
•
Keep body movement to a minimum, this generates static electricity that causes ESD.
Avoid working in carpeted areas.
Try to select a work area where potential static sources are minimized.
An ti-Sta tic Wr ist Str a p
The anti-static wrist strap is a bracelet like strip that goes around either wrist. The other
end of the strap connects to a convenient metal surface on the computer cabinet.
1
An ti-Sta tic Ma t
The anti-static mat can be either the conductive bag, the ESD sheet, or the ESD foam pad.
The anti-static mat does not have to be connected to the cabinet. It should be placed close
to the computer while performing the upgrade tasks.
Tools r equ ir ed
To accomplish the upgrade procedures to the computer the following tools are required:
•
•
•
•
A Torx #10 driver. (This is the preferred tool)
A flat blade screw driver. (this can be used if a Torx driver is not available)
A3204-80004 ESD Kit
Flashlight or alternate light source (recommended but not required)

NOTE
A 2-slot or 4-slot HP-HSC Expansion I/O product must be present in the
primary HP-HSC Expansion I/O slot before adding the A3694A product to the
secondary HP-HSC Expansion I/O slot.
1. Log Off all users and stop all active applications that may be running.
2. Perform a system backup of the entire Operating System and data base. If this is not
feasible, perform a backup of the data base. (This should be done at a scheduled interval
as common practice for protecting any new data or changes to the existing data base.)
3. Perform a system shutdown. Enter "/etc/shutdown -h" at the prompt.
4. Turn the computer key switch to the STANDBY position.
5. At the rear of the computer, unplug the power cord.
6. Remove the cover plate on the Processor/Dual Bus HP-HSC Expansion I/O slot next to
the primary HP-HSC Expansion I/O slot (see Figure 1) by loosening the two (one top
and one bottom) captive mounting screws (see Figure 2) and pulling the cover plate
away .

7. Remove the adjoining processor slot’s cover plate by loosening the two (one top and one
bottom) captive mounting screws and pulling the cover plate away. (This is necessary to
gain access to the system board.)
8. Reach into the computer cabinet and remove the plastic dust cover from the HP-HSC
expansion connector on the system board.
9. Remove the plastic dust cover from the Dual Bus 4-Slot HP-HSC Expansion I/O Card
connector.
10.Align the Dual Bus 4-Slot HP-HSC Expansion I/O Card into the card slot and slide it
into the computer.
11.When the card makes contact with the system board connector, press the edge of the
card to fully seat the card into the computer. Tighten the two captive screws to secure
the expansion I/O card.
12.Replace the CPU cover plate and tighten the two captive mounting screws.

If this completes the upgrade, proceed to Upgrade Verification.
Up gr a d e Ver ifica tion
Before performing the procedures in this section, make sure that all cover plates that were
removed are reinstalled and secure. This is for proper seating of cards, as well as cooling
requirements.
1. Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the computer.
2. Turn the computer key to the ON position.
3. Observe the Front panel Display and console for any error or fault (FLT) messages.

Installation Procedures
Installation Procedures
When all procedures are complete, with no errors or faults, the system needs to be
re-configured to add the new HP-HSC path addresses. Refer to the Owner's Guide for
configuration instructions. The HP-HSC Slot path addresses are also the same as shown in
Table 2.
