CAUTION: To prevent mechanical damage or depositing oil on your hands or other contaminant to the heatsink
contact surface, hold the heatsink only by the edge of its base plate. Do not touch the heatsink fins.
CAUTION: To prevent thermal failure or component damage, do not move the heatsink once the bottom of its base
plate touches the top of the processor. Excessive heatsink movement can cause the thermal grease to smear and
become uneven. Voids in the compound can adversely impact the transfer of heat away from the processor.
CAUTION: Heatsink screws must be tightened and loosened in alternating sequence. Do not overtighten the screws
as this might damage the system board or the processor socket.
a. Position the heatsink on top of the processor, ensuring that it is properly seated before securing the screws.
b. Use a T-20 Torx screwdriver to tighten the captive screws in the sequence specified on the heatsink label.
When using a torque wrench to tighten the screws, apply a torque of 1.58 N-m (14 lbf-in).
3. Install the air baffle.
4. Install the node cover.
5. Install the server.
6. Connect all peripheral cables to the server.
7. Power up the server.
The installation is complete.
Memory options
The server has 16 DIMM slots—8 memory channels per processor—supporting HPE DDR4 SmartMemory (RDIMM or
LRDIMM). At least one DIMM per processor is required for system operation.
The installed processor determines the maximum memory capacity per server. For more information, see the QuickSpecs on
the product page (https://www.hpe.com/servers/apollo2000).
