Hardware options installation
Introduction
If more than one option is being installed, read the installation instructions for all the hardware options and
identify similar steps to streamline the installation process.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the
internal system components to cool before touching them.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to electrical components, properly ground the server before
beginning any installation procedure. Improper grounding can cause electrostatic discharge.
Processor option
The server supports single-processor and dual-processor operation. With two processors installed, the server
supports boot functions through the processor installed in processor socket 1. However, if processor 1 fails,
the system automatically boots from processor 2 and provides a processor failure message.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the processor and system board, only authorized personnel
should attempt to replace or install the processor in this server.
CAUTION: To help avoid damage to the processor and system board, do not install the
processor without using the processor installation tool.
CAUTION: To prevent possible server malfunction and damage to the equipment, multiprocessor
configurations must contain processors with the same part number.
IMPORTANT: If installing a processor with a faster speed, update the system ROM before
installing the processor.
To install the component:
1. Update the system ROM.
Locate and download the latest ROM version from the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support).
Follow the instructions on the website to update the system ROM.
2. Power down the server (on page 24).
3. Do one of the following:
o Open or remove the tower bezel, as needed ("Open or remove the tower bezel" on page 25).
o Extend the server from the rack (on page 24).
4. Remove the access panel (on page 26).
5. Remove the large redundant fan air baffle, if installed ("Remove the large redundant fan air baffle" on
page 27).
