HP Kayak XA 05xx PC Workstation Setting Up and Using Your HP Mintower PC Workstation Connecting to a Network

Connecting to a Network

The LAN adapter supports both 10 Mbit/s and 100 Mbit/s operations and automatically detects which network type is being used. 1 Connect the RJ-45 plug on your network cable to the LAN connector on the LAN Adapter. Push the plug into the connector until the plug clicks into place.
The board shown here is a combined LAN/SCSI board. Some models do not have the SCSI option.
2 Attach the other end of the LAN cable to a hub (or into a wall socket that is connected to a hub). For further instructions on configuring your network connection, refer to the Upgrade and Configuration Guide available on HPs Web site. Refer also to the online Network Administrators Guide (available on HPs Web site) for further instructions on setting up your PC Workstation for a LAN connection.

HP Kayak XA 05xx PC Workstation Setting Up and Using Your HP Mintower PC Workstation Connecting Audio Accessories
Connecting Audio Accessories
Your PC Workstation has a Headphone Out jack and a Microphone In jack on the Audio Front Panel. A LINE IN jack, LINE OUT jack, MIC IN jack, and MIDI/Joystick connector are located on the backplate of the audio board.

Audio Front Panel

NOTE The internal speaker and LINE OUT jack on the audio board backplate are deactivated when you use the Headphones jack on the Audio Front Panel. The internal speaker is deactivated when you use the LINE OUT jack. External speakers you connect should have a built-in power supply. Audio board backplate The audio accessories shown here (microphone, speakers, and audio system) are not supplied with your PC Workstation. Volume can be controlled through the HP enhanced keyboard or the software volume control.

WARNING

To avoid discomfort from unexpected noise, always turn down the volume before connecting headphones or speakers. Listening to loud sounds for prolonged periods may permanently damage your hearing. Before putting on headphones, place them around your neck and turn down the volume. When you put on the headphones, slowly increase the volume until you find a comfortable listening level, then leave the volume control in that position.

HP Kayak XA 05xx PC Workstation Setting Up and Using Your HP Mintower PC Workstation Connecting an External SCSI Accessory (Selected Models Only)
Connecting an External SCSI Accessory (Selected Models Only)
An external SCSI device is connected as follows: 1 You should assign an unused SCSI ID to the accessory. SCSI IDs range from 0 to 15 for wide 16-bit SCSI. The SCSI ID 0 is reserved for the first SCSI hard disk drive and SCSI ID 7 is reserved for SCSI controller (the default for narrow and wide SCSI devices). NOTE You dont need to set a SCSI ID for Plug and Play SCSI devices (SCSI devices which support the SCAM protocol). Windows 98 does not support SCAM. 2 Make sure the SCSI accessory is terminated correctlyeither internally or by a terminating resistor (refer to the manual provided with the SCSI accessory). 3 Connect the SCSI accessory to your PC Workstations external 16-bit SCSI connector with a shielded SCSI cable.

4 Refer to the manual provided with the SCSI accessory to learn how to install any software that may be necessary to use it. NOTE The total length of the external SCSI cables should not exceed 3 meters (approximately 10 feet).

System Specifications

Power Consumption Information
Maximum power consumption Operating Idle Off 1. 200 W 80 W (average) 45 W (average) 2.5 W1 (average) The power supply in your PC Workstation continues to supply power to the CMOS memory, even when switched off.
When the PC Workstation is turned off with the power button on the front panel, the power consumption falls below 5 Watts, but is not zero. The special on/off method used by this PC Workstation considerably extends the lifetime of the power supply. To reach zero power consumption in off mode, either unplug the PC Workstation from the power outlet or use a power block with a switch. You should be aware that, in this case, the PC Workstation will lose its time settings within a few days.
Maximum Loads Available for Accessory Slots
The load limits for the ISA and PCI accessory slots are compliant with ISA and PCI specifications. For example, your PC Workstation has been designed to support up to 15W per PCI slot and a total of 60W for all 4 PCI slots.
