359782-002 Service Reference Guide, dx2000 uT 1 Installing the Operating System Depending on the model, Microsoft Windows XP Home or Windows XP Professional is preinstalled on the computer and will be configured automatically the first time the computer is turned on. Ä CAUTION: Do not add optional hardware devices to your computer until the operating system is successfully installed. Doing so may cause errors and may prevent the operating system from installing properly. Ä CAUTION: Once the automatic installation has begun, DO NOT TURN OFF THE COMPUTER UNTIL THE PROCESS IS COMPLETE. Turning off the computer during the installation process might damage the software that runs the computer. 1.1 Microsoft Windows XP The first time the computer is turned on, Microsoft Windows is automatically installed. This takes approximately 10 minutes, depending on the system hardware configuration. Read and follow the instructions that appear on the screen to complete the installation. During this process, do not turn off your computer unless you are directed to do so. 1.1.1 Installing or Upgrading Device Drivers To install optional hardware devices after the OS installation is completed, you must install the device drivers for the device you are installing. The I386 directory and its subdirectories provide the HP- or Compaq-specific integration of the operating system for the computer model and include device drivers supported by the operating system. When prompted for the I386 directory on the operating system CD, replace the path specification with C:\I386 or use the Browse button of the dialog box to browse the computer for the I386 folder. This action points to the appropriate drivers. The latest support software is also available from the Web site at http://www.hp.com/support.

The capabilities and features of the seven key components of desktop management are: ■ Initial configuration and deployment ■ ROM flash ■ Security ✎ Support for specific features described in this guide may vary by model or software version. 3.1 Initial Configuration and Deployment HP computers come with a preinstalled system software image. After a brief software “unbundling” process, the computer is ready to be used. A customized software image may be deployed by: ■ Installing additional software applications after unbundling the preinstalled software image. ■ Using software deployment tools, such as Altiris Deployment Solutions, to replace the preinstalled software with a customized software image. ■ Using a disk cloning process to copy the contents from one hard drive to another. The best deployment method depends on your information technology environment and processes. The PC Deployment section of the Solutions and Services Web site http:// h18000.www1.hp.com/solutions/pcsolutions provides information to help you select the best deployment method. The Restore Plus! CD, ROM-based setup, and ACPI hardware provide further assistance with recovery of system software, configuration management and troubleshooting, and power management. 3.2 ROM Flash The computer comes with a reprogrammable flash ROM (read only memory). By establishing a setup password in Computer Setup (F10) Utility, you can protect the ROM from being unintentionally updated or overwritten. This is important to ensure the operating integrity of the computer. Should you need or want to upgrade your ROM, you may: ■ Order an upgraded ROMPaq™ diskette from HP. ■ Download the latest ROMPaq images from http://www.hp.com/support. Service Reference Guide, dx2000 uT 359782-002 3–1 Desktop Management 3.2.1 FailSafe Boot Block ROM The FailSafe Boot Block ROM allows for system recovery in the unlikely event of a ROM flash failure, for example, if a power failure were to occur during a ROM upgrade. The Boot Block is a flash-protected section of the ROM that checks for a valid system ROM flash when power to the system is turned on. ■ If the system ROM is valid, the system starts normally. ■ If the system ROM fails the validation check, the FailSafe Boot Block ROM provides enough support to start the system from a ROMPaq diskette, which will program the system ROM with a valid image. To recover the system after it enters Boot Block recovery mode, complete the following steps: 1. If there is a diskette in the diskette drive, remove the diskette and turn off the power. 2. Insert a ROMPaq diskette into the diskette drive. 3. Turn on power to the system. 4. If no ROMPaq diskette is found, you will be prompted to insert one and restart the computer. 5. If the system successfully starts from the diskette and successfully reprograms the ROM, then the three keyboard lights will turn on. 6. Remove the diskette and turn the power off. 7. Turn the power on again to restart the computer. 3.2.2 Dual-State Power Button With Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) enabled for Windows XP, the power button can function either as an on/off switch or as a suspend button. The suspend feature does not completely turn off power, but instead causes the computer to enter a low-power standby. This allows you to quickly power down without closing applications and to quickly return to the same operational state without any data loss. To change the power button’s configuration, complete the following steps: 1. Left click on the Start Button, then select Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Power Options. 2. In the Power Options Properties, select the Advanced tab. 3. In the Power Button section, select the desired power button setting.

Factory-installed drives ship with the jumpers preset to the cable-select mode; therefore, no jumper setting changes are required on factory pre installed, replacement, or option drives. With cable-select, the drive is configured as either Master (Drive/Device 0) or Slave (Drive/Device 1) by its physical attachment to the cable. If you purchase a third-party hard drive, refer to the documentation included with the drive kit to ensure proper cable installation and configuration. drives on a controller channel need to have their jumpers either in the cable-select mode or ✎ All have the individual drive jumper installed on the appropriate Master (Drive/Device 0) or Slave (Drive/Device 1) position. 4.2 Ultra ATA Cables When installing a second device on either the primary or secondary controller, you must use an industry standard 40-pin, 80-conductor Ultra ATA cable for optimal performance. These cables have a maximum length of 18 inches and a maximum distance of 6 inches between the two devices for a two-drive cable. Drives operating at speeds faster than those of the Ultra ATA-33 devices require industrystandard 40-pin, 80-conductor cables to maintain the higher data transfer rates possible with the improved technology. When using Ultra ATA-133, -100, -66, and slower -33 drives in the same system, each drive will operate at its appropriate data transfer rate. 4.2.1 Cable Layout The faces of industry-standard cable connectors are color coded for easy recognition: ■ System board connector = blue face ■ Device 0 connector = black face ■ Device 1 connector = gray face color code of an industry-standard cable is valid only if the drive’s jumper is in the cable✎ The select position. Service Reference Guide, dx2000 uT 359782-002 4–1 Ultra ATA Drive Guidelines and Features Single-Drive Cable System Board Device 0 (master) Blue Face Black Face Two-Drive Cable System Board Device 1 (slave) Blue Face Gray Face Device 0 (master) Black Face On a two-drive cable, the Drive/Device 0 connector is always the farthest one from the system board connector and the Drive/Device 1 connector is always the closest to the system board connector. cables may be labeled “Drive 0” instead of “Device 0” and “Drive 1” instead of ✎ Some “Device 1”. 4.3 Drive Installation Guidelines Most computer system boards have two ATA (IDE) controller channels with a dedicated connector for each controller. One controller is designated as the primary and the other as the secondary controller. Each of the two controllers can have up to two devices attached to it. Each computer system may therefore have a maximum of four ATA/ATAPI drives. All drives are connected to these controllers using an industry-standard 40-pin, 80-conductor cable. industry standard 1.44 MB diskette drive has its own separate channel and is not included as ✎ The a part of the maximum four drives. Any drive attached to a controller must have a drive designation. If only a single drive is connected to a controller and its jumper is in the cable-select position, it is designated as the Master Drive (Drive/Device 0) by its attachment to the Drive/Device 0 cable position. If two cable-selected drives are connected to a single controller, one will be designated by its attachment to the cable as the Master (Drive/Device 0) and the other as Slave (Drive/Device 1). For optimal performance of a computer system, all drives need to be attached to the ATA controllers in a specified sequence. This sequence is determined by the device class of the drives and by specific attach sequence rules. 4–2 359782-002 Service Reference Guide, dx2000 uT Ultra ATA Drive Guidelines and Features 4.3.1 Device Classes In order to determine the best drive attach sequence, ATA/ATAPI drives are segregated into four different classes based upon the bandwidth demands they place on an ATA controller. The most demanding devices are in Class 1 and the least demanding are in Class 4. Class 1 Hard Drives ATA-100 ATA-66 ATA-33 Class 2 High Speed Optical Drives DVD DVD-CD R/W Class 3 Optical Storage Drives R/W CD-ROM CD-ROM Class 4 Magnetic Storage Drives LS-120 Tape Zip General Attach Guidelines ■ The lower the device class number, the faster the device and the more bandwidth required. ■ Drives installed in the Device 0 positions on both the primary and secondary controllers receive the greatest possible bandwidth. ■ The bootable ATA hard drive should always be installed on the primary controller in the Device 0 position. 4.3.2 Attach Sequence Rules by Class Priority Drives should be attached in the sequence shown for optimum performance starting at position 1. 4 1 3 2 Primary Controller* 4 1 Secondary Controller 3 2 Device 1 Device 0 *If there are three or more devices, two or more of which are hard drives, two hard drives should be attached to the primary controller first before following the General Attach Sequence Rule. Service Reference Guide, dx2000 uT 359782-002 4–3 Ultra ATA Drive Guidelines and Features The attach sequence rule may also be stated in table format: General Attach Sequence Rule* Sequence Description 1 The lowest class drive - bootable hard drive recommended. 2 If only two drives, the last drive goes here; otherwise the lowest class of the remaining drives. 3 If only three drives, attach the final drive here. If a fourth drive exists, attach the lowest class drive here. 4 If there is a fourth drive, attach the final drive here - the drive with the highest class number of all devices. *If there are three or more devices, two or more of which are hard drives, two hard drives should be attached to the primary controller first before following the General Attach Sequence Rule. The rules allow for: ■ Keeping the hard drive on a separate controller channel maximizes drive performance until a fourth device is added. ■ Keeping the hard drives and removable media drives on separate controller channels maximizes compatibility. ■ Keeping the hard drive and the writable optical drive on separate controller channels maximizes optical drive reliability. 4.3.3 Attach Sequence Worksheet Use the worksheet below for obtaining optimum system performance when setting up a computer with multiple drives.

Service Reference Guide, dx2000 uT 359782-002 5–1 Identifying the Chassis, Routine Care, and Disassembly Preparation 5.2 Electrostatic Discharge Information A sudden discharge of static electricity from your finger or other conductor can destroy staticsensitive devices or microcircuitry. Often the spark is neither felt nor heard, but damage occurs. An electronic device exposed to electrostatic discharge (ESD) may not appear to be affected at all and can work perfectly throughout a normal cycle. The device may function normally for a while, but it has been degraded in the internal layers, reducing its life expectancy. Networks built into many integrated circuits provide some protection, but in many cases, the discharge contains enough power to alter device parameters or melt silicon junctions. 5.2.1 Generating Static The following table shows that: ■ Different activities generate different amounts of static electricity. ■ Static electricity increases as humidity decreases. Relative Humidity Event 55% 40% 10% Walking across carpet Walking across vinyl floor Motions of bench worker 7,500 V 3,000 V 400 V 15,000 V 5,000 V 800 V 35,000 V 12,000 V 6,000 V Removing bubble pack from PCB Packing PCBs in foam-lined box 7,000 V 5,000 V 20,000 V 11,000 V 26,500 V 21,000 V ✎ 700 volts can degrade a product. 5.2.2 Preventing Electrostatic Damage to Equipment Many electronic components are sensitive to ESD. Circuitry design and structure determine the degree of sensitivity. The following packaging and grounding precautions are necessary to prevent damage to electric components and accessories. 5–2 ■ To avoid hand contact, transport products in static-safe containers such as tubes, bags, or boxes. ■ Protect all electrostatic parts and assemblies with conductive or approved containers or packaging. ■ Keep electrostatic sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free stations. ■ Place items on a grounded surface before removing them from their container. ■ Always be properly grounded when touching a sensitive component or assembly. ■ Avoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry. ■ Place reusable electrostatic-sensitive parts from assemblies in protective packaging or conductive foam. 359782-002 Service Reference Guide, dx2000 uT Identifying the Chassis, Routine Care, and Disassembly Preparation 5.2.3 Personal Grounding Methods and Equipment Use the following equipment to prevent static electricity damage to equipment: ■ Wrist straps are flexible straps with a maximum of one-megohm ± 10% resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper ground, a strap must be worn snug against bare skin. The ground cord must be connected and fit snugly into the banana plug connector on the grounding mat or workstation. ■ Heel straps/Toe straps/Boot straps can be used at standing workstations and are compatible with most types of shoes or boots. On conductive floors or dissipative floor mats, use them on both feet with a maximum of one-megohm ± 10% resistance between the operator and ground.

Service Reference Guide, dx2000 uT 359782-002 D–25 Troubleshooting Without Diagnostics D–26 359782-002 Service Reference Guide, dx2000 uT E Memory Computers equipped with Intel-based processors come with double data rate synchronous dynamic random access memory (DDR-SDRAM) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs). The memory sockets on the system board can be populated with up to four industry-standard DIMMs. These memory module slots are populated with at least one preinstalled memory module. To achieve the maximum memory support, you can populate the system board with up to 4GB of memory configured in a high-performing dual channel mode. For proper system operation, if the computer supports DDR-SDRAM DIMMs, the DIMMs must be industry-standard 184-pin, unbuffered PC2700 333 MHz- or PC3200 400 MHz-compliant, 2.5 volt DDR-SDRAM DIMMs. The DDR-SDRAM DIMMs must also: ■ support CAS latency 2.5 or 3 (CL = 2.5 or CL=3) ■ contain the mandatory JEDEC SPD information In addition, the computer supports: ■ 128Mbit, 256Mbit, and 512Mbit non-ECC memory technologies ■ single-sided and double-sided DIMMS ■ DIMMs constructed with x8 and x16 DDR devices; DIMMs constructed with x4 SDRAM are not supported The following processor bus frequencies are required for the system to run at the supported memory frequencies. Memory Frequency Required Processor Bus Frequency 266 MHz 400 MHz, 533 MHz, or 800 MHz 333 MHz 533 MHz or 800 MHz 400 MHz 800 MHz If a memory frequency is paired with an unsupported processor bus frequency, the system will run at the highest supported memory speed. For example, if a 333 MHz DIMM is paired with a 400 MHz processor bus, the system will run at 266 MHz, the highest supported memory speed. ✎ The system will not start if you install unsupported DIMMs. Service Reference Guide, dx2000 uT 359782-002 E–1 Memory DIMM Sockets There are four DIMM sockets on the system board, with two sockets per channel. The sockets are labeled XMM1, XMM2, XMM3, and XMM4. Sockets XMM1 and XMM2 operate in memory channel A. Sockets XMM3 and XMM4 operate in memory channel B. ✎ The system board shown below may be slightly different from the one in the computer. Item Description Socket Color 1 DIMM socket XMM1, Channel A Black 2 DIMM socket XMM2, Channel A Blue 3 DIMM socket XMM3, Channel B Black 4 DIMM socket XMM4, Channel B Blue The system will automatically operate in single channel mode or a higher-performing dual channel mode, depending on how the DIMMs are installed. E–2 ■ In single channel mode, the maximum operational speed is determined by the slowest DIMM in the system. For example, if the system is populated with a DIMM that is 266 MHz and a second DIMM that is 333 MHz, the system will run at the slower of the two speeds. ■ In dual channel mode, the DIMM pairs must be identically matched. DIMMs in the XMM1 and XMM3 black sockets must be identical; DIMMs in the XMM2 and XMM4 blue sockets must also be identical. Therefore, if you have one preinstalled DIMM in socket XMM1 and are adding a second DIMM, it is recommended that you install an identical DIMM into the XMM3 socket. 359782-002 Service Reference Guide, dx2000 uT Index 4-pin power pin assignments A–4 20-pin power pin assignments A–4 A ATA/ATAPI (IDE) drive cable pin assignments A– 4 B battery µT removal and replacement 6–20 real-time clock D–2 blank screen D–9 C cable select drive 4–1 cable, proper handling 5–7 cautions AC power 5–1 adding devices 1–1 batteries 5–7 cables 5–7 cooling fan 5–6 installation 1–1 keyboard cleaning 5–5 keyboard keys 5–5 changing operating systems, important information 3–3 changing password 3–5 chassis types, illustrated 5–1 cleaning computer 5–4 keyboard 5–5 monitor 5–5 mouse 5–5 clearing password 3–7 cloning tools, software 3–1 CMOS Setup Advanced 2–4 Standard 2–4 Compaq software.
