Part 1 - Installing Additional Hardware Components

When HP NetServer LXr Pros are shipped from the factory, they are configured for stand-alone operation. The
first step in creating a cluster is to install additional hardware that will allow the HP NetServer LXr Pros to
share data and to communicate with one another and with the LAN.
CAUTION
NOTE
To install additional hardware components:
1. Gather the required hardware components for the HP NetServer LXr Pro, except for the HP Rack
Storage/8 unit(s). Separate the components into two systems designated as System A and System B.
2. Remove the top cover from the HP NetServer LXr Pro.
Because these procedures involve opening the servers, HP recommends that you use a
Portable Field Service Grounding Kit (3M part number 8505, or the equivalent). The kit
contains a wrist strap, anti-static mat, and cable. Using this kit prevents damage to the
system from static electricity.
The steps in this part are for installing components into a single HP NetServer LXr Pro.
Be sure to perform this procedure on both the System A and System B HP NetServers.
You may proceed through all the steps on one system, and then repeat them on the
second system, or you may choose to perform each step on both systems before going to
the next step.
