Installing a processor and heatsink option
Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends identifying the processor and socket components before performing this
procedure.
Prerequisites
Before you perform this procedure, make sure that you have the following items available:
•
The components included with the hardware option kit
•
T-20 Torx screwdriver
•
1.0 gm (0.5 ml) or two 0.5 gm (0.25 ml) of thermal grease in syringes
•
Alcohol wipe
Procedure
1.
Observe the following alerts:
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.
CAUTION: When handling the heatsink, always hold it along the top and bottom of the fins. Holding it from
the sides can damage the fins.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the processor or system board, only authorized personnel should attempt to
replace or install the processor in this server.
CAUTION: To prevent possible server malfunction and damage to the equipment, multiprocessor
configurations must contain processors with the same part number.
CAUTION: If installing a processor with a faster speed, update the system ROM before installing the
processor.
To download firmware and view installation instructions, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support
Center website.
CAUTION: THE CONTACTS ARE VERY FRAGILE AND EASILY DAMAGED. To avoid damage to the socket
or processor, do not touch the contacts.
