Removal and replacement procedures This chapter provides subassembly/module-level removal and replacement procedures for the HP ProLiant DL160 G5 server. Review the specifications of a new component before installing it to make sure it is compatible with the server. When you integrate new components into the system, record its model and serial number and any other pertinent information for future reference.
Pre-Installation procedure Perform the steps below before you open the server or before you remove or replace any component. WARNING: Failure to properly turn off the server before you open the server or before your start installing/ removing components may cause serious damage as well as bodily harm. Turn off the server and all the peripherals connected to it.
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: Do not operate the server for long periods with the access panel open or removed. Operating the server in this manner results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.
Powering down the server The server does not completely power down when the power button on the front panel is pressed. The button toggles between On and Standby. The standby position removes power from most electronics and the drives, but some internal circuitry remains active. To completely remove all power from the system, disconnect all power cords from the server.
Figure 9 Removing the Top Cover To reinstall the top cover: Align the top cover to the chassis and then slide it towards the front panel to position it into place. Once the cover is attached to the chassis, tighten the captive screw on the rear panel with a T-15 screwdriver.
Page 41
Figure 11 Removing the Top Middle Cover To reinstall the top middle cover: Align the top middle cover to the chassis. Fasten the four screws (one on each side of the chassis and two on the top middle cover) to securing the top middle cover to the chassis.
Drives The server supports up to five drive bays – four drive bays for 3.5-inch hard disks drive and one drive bay for optical disk drive. Cable management Always follow good cable management practices when working inside the computer. • Keep cables away from major heat sources like the heat sink.
Cable connections The following table provides information about switching power supply cable connector labels. Table 9 Cable connections Cable Cable Designator Switching Power Supply System board 24-pin power connector Switching Power Supply System board 8-pin power connector Switching Power Supply System board 4-pin power connector Switching Power Supply Backplane...
Drive bay configuration The server supports a maximum of five drive bays – four bays for 3.5-inch hard disk drives and one drive bay for an optical media drive. Figure 14 System drive bays Item Description Optical Media Device Bay 3.5 Inch Hard Disk Drive Bays (four) The HDD bays support both non-hot-plug and hot-plug SATA drives, as well as hot-plug SAS drives.
Optical media device bay The optical media device bay supports the installation of a 9.5mm DVD/CD R/RW ROM optical drive. Installing the DVD/CDRW-ROM (9.5mm) optical drive Figure 15 DVD/CDRW-ROM location Pre-installation Procedure Turn off the server and all the peripherals connected to it. Unplug all external cables and AC power cords.

Secure the backplane with two screws. Figure 33 Installing the backplane Install all cables including optical drive cables.
System board configuration Processor The HP ProLiant DL160 G5 Server supports dual and quad core processors. If a single CPU is installed, then use socket 0.When two processors are used, the server supports boot functions through the processor installed in processor socket 0.However, if processor 0 fails, the system can’t boot up, and if processor 1 fails, the system will automatically boots from processor 0 and provides a processor failure message.

Figure 35 Removing the air baffle To remove the heat sink: Loosen the four mounting pins. Lift the heat sink away from the system board. CAUTION: Place heat sink down in an upright position with the thermal patch facing upward. Do not let the thermal patch touch the work surface.
Page 58
Apply the thermal grease compound to the CPU contact surface, to brush a thin coat to cram the gap. Neither too thick nor too thin. CAUTION: HP recommends using Shin-Etsu X-23-7783D thermal grease compound for your ProLiant server. Apply all the grease to the top of the processor in one of the following patterns to insure even distribution.
Page 59
Figure 38 The bottom of the heat sink CAUTION: Never touch the bottom of the processor; any contaminant could prevent the mounting pads from making contact with the socket. CAUTION: Applying too much grease creates a gap between the contact surfaces, significantly reducing the ability of the heat sink to draw out heat.
Page 60
Figure 39 Installing the processor CAUTION: To prevent overheating or a possible system crash, use only a heat sink model specified for the HP ProLiant DL160 G5 server. To install the heat sink: Properly align the heat sink mounting pins to the system board mounting holes.
Figure 41 Installing the air baffle Memory The HP ProLiant DL160 G5 server has eight DIMM slots that support up to 32 GB maximum system memory (4GB in each of the eight DIMM slots). You must adhere to the following guidelines when adding or replacing memory modules: •...
Page 62
NOTE: Before installing the memory, remove the air baffle first, for detailed procedure, refer to the “ Processor” section in this chapter. To remove memory module: Completely open the holding clips securing the module. Gently pull the memory module upward to remove it from the slot. Figure 43 Removing a memory module CAUTION: Place the memory module on a static-dissipating work surface or inside of an anti-static bag.
CAUTION: The memory slots are structured to ensure proper installation. If you insert a memory module but it does not fit easily into the slot, you may have inserted it incorrectly. Double-check the orientation of the module and reinsert. If the holding clips do not close, the module is not inserted correctly.
