Familiarization Guide

HP Vectra XW

HP Vectra XW PC Workstation Family

This guide is for experienced technicians who have already

completed the HP Vectra computer family training course.

In particular, it assumes that the reader is already familiar

with the HP Vectra XU 6/xxx PC, upon which the

HP Vectra XW PC Workstations are based.

This document serves as a self-paced training guide,

designed to train you for repair of the computer, and only

contains repair-specific information. For information on the

installation of accessories, see the User’s Guide and the

online documents that are supplied with the computer.

HP Integrated OpenGL Interface Board

OpenGL is a graphics language for describing three-dimensional objects.

The HP Integrated OpenGL Interface board has a processor that executes

OpenGL 3D graphics instructions autonomously of the main processor.

• The graphics controllers cannot be upgraded or reconfigured by the user,

or by HP personnel.

• Changes to the configuration are not supported. Make sure that the

jumpers and daughter board are configured as set by the manufacturer.

OpenGL Drivers

Every operating system and applications program needs specific drivers.

Without these, the HP Integrated OpenGL Interface Board operates only in

standard VGA mode, and hardware 3D acceleration will not be usable.

Online Help and Online

Diagnostics

Online help for installing and configuring the drivers is found by running

\opengl\doc\hpopengl.hp on the HP Vectra XW/XU Drivers and

Documentation CD-ROM, or from the hard disk on models in which the

operating system is preloaded.

There is no specific diagnostic tool. However, for the HP Vectra XW 6/xxx

and HP Vectra XW 6/xxx Series U1, the configuration can be checked on

the AccelPanel. This is recommended as the first step in any trouble-

shooting. This panel is normally placed in the AccelGraphics Group, though

the user may have chosen to install it somewhere else.

Platform Operating System and Drivers

HP Vectra XW 6/xxx The OpenGL interface drivers for Windows NT 3.51 must be installed, from the HP Vectra XW/XU Drivers and

Documentation CD-ROM, when the operating system is installed.

HP Vectra XW 6/xxx Series U1 The Windows NT 4.0 WS operating system is preloaded, and the OpenGL drivers are preloaded with it.

OpenGL Drivers

For the HP Vectra XW Series W1, the configuration can be checked on the

NT display properties menu.

Installing Dual Processors

• When installing a second processor, in models that are supplied with a

single processor, make sure that it is of the same type as the first.

• The processors are bound to be of the same speed since HP only offers

200 MHz Pentium Pro processors for use in these models.

• HP does not support models in which the user has installed non-HP

processor kits.

These configurations are

correct. A second processor

has been fitted, of the same

speed and cache memory

capacity as the first.

These configurations will

work, but the performance

gain is not optimal.

Installing Main Memory Modules

• The four memory banks (A, B, C, D) may be filled in any order (with the

exception that Bank A must always be filled).

• Memory can be upgraded in increments of 32 MB, 64 MB or 128 MB (by

installing pairs of 16 MB, 32 MB or 64 MB modules).

• Always install a pair of identical modules.

• HP does not support models in which the user has installed non-HP

memory modules.

Initial Configuration Example Upgrade Paths

Models that are supplied with 64 MB of

main memory have a pair of 32 MB, 60 ns,

fast page mode (FPM), 72-bit, error

correcting code (ECC) memory modules.

This can be extended to 448 MB by installing

a further three pairs of 64 MB memory

modules.

This can be further extended to 512 MB by

removing the original pair of modules, and

replacing the with a pair of 64 MB modules.

Models that are supplied with 128 MB of

main memory have two pairs of 32 MB,

60 ns, fast page mode (FPM), 72-bit, error

correcting code (ECC) memory modules.

This can be extended to 384 MB by installing

a further two pairs of 64 MB memory

modules.

This can be further extended to 512 MB by

removing the original pairs of modules, and

replacing the with two pairs of 64 MB

modules.

1book.bk : 1ch01.fb4 Page 7 Friday, May 2, 1997 4:50 PM

Installing Main Memory Modules

Banks may be filled in any order.

Any banks which are occupied must always

be filled with a pair of modules of

identical capacity, type and speed.

Different banks can be occupied by different

capacities of modules, such as a pair of

64 MB modules, a pair of 16 MB modules,

an empty bank, and a bank of 32 MB

modules.
