Firmware and Software Changes

Adding a processor may require firmware changes and the possible re-installation of the NOS to recognize
the additional processor.

Upgrading the Firmware

If your processor included a new CD, insert the CD into the HP Server DVD drive and power on the HP
Server. Follow the instructions provided on screen to ensure the system BIOS is up-to-date. The system
BIOS on the CD will be compared to the HP Server's current BIOS, and if necessary, will indicate to you that
the BIOS needs to be updated.

Reinstalling the NOS

You may have to reconfigure or reinstall your NOS in order to use the additional processor. Check your NOS
documentation or the Readme file to determine if your NOS requires a reinstall in order to recognize the new
processor(s).

Removing and Installing Memory Boards

Two Memory Boards reside in the Processor/Memory Complex: one is on top of the complex and the other
underneath. You can remove or install these memory boards.

Removing Memory Boards

Two memory boards exist, one plugged in to each side of the processor board (the top and the underside of
the Processor/Memory Complex). The following procedure describes the removal process for either memory
board. To remove the memory board, complete the following procedure:
1. Open and remove the Processor/Memory Complex.
2. If desired, remove the DIMMs from the memory board you are removing.
3. Remove the DC-DC converters from the memory board as described in "Removing the Memory
Board DC-DC Converters".
4. Loosen the two captive screws holding the sides of the memory board to the processor board.
Each of these screws secures a board clamp that runs along the length of the memory board.
5. Lift the board clamps out of the Processor/Memory Complex.
6. Loosen the two captive screws in the handle that spans the middle of the Memory Board.
7. Remove the bracket with the thumbscrew that locks the extraction levers.
8. Pull up on the extraction levers to disengage the memory board from the processor board.
NOTE
9. Place the memory board on a clean ESD-protected surface.
Both extraction levers must be raised evenly while disengaging the memory from the
Processor Baseboard. The memory board must remain parallel to the Processor
Baseboard during extraction.
