Processor
CAUTION: To prevent possible server malfunction, do not mix processors of different speeds or cache
sizes. Refer to the label on the processor heatsink for a description of the processor.
CAUTION: Be sure that you have the current version of the system ROM. Failure to flash the ROM with the
correct version before installing or replacing the processor causes system failure. For the most current version
of the ROM, go to the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support).
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the system board:
• Do not touch the socket contacts.
• Always install the processor socket cover after removing the processor from the socket.
• Do not tilt or slide the processor when lowering the processor into the socket.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the processor:
• Handle the processor only by the edges.
• Do not touch the bottom of the processor, especially the contact area.
IMPORTANT: Processor socket 1 must always be populated. If processor socket 1 is empty, the server
does not power up.
To remove the component:
1. Power down the server (on page 29).
2. Do one of the following:
• Unlock and remove the bezel ("Front bezel" on page 30).
• Extend the server from the rack (on page 29).
3. Remove the access panel ("Access panel" on page 31).
4. Remove the processor air baffle ("Processor air baffle" on page 41).
5. Open the heatsink retaining latches.
