CAUTION
Do not change the processor speed switches as this can result
in unreliable or intermittent performance, and data integrity
may also be at risk.
l
Use only processor upgrade kits with the same HP product number. This
ensures the processor type, clock speed, and cache size match, and that
processor steppings are compatible.
l
Be sure that the VRM and the processor module associated with it are both
in either the primary or the secondary pair of slots.

Use an anti-static wrist strap and a grounding mat.
Wear a wrist-strap and use a static-dissipating work surface
connected to the chassis when handling components. Ensure
the metal of the wrist strap contacts your skin.
The installation procedure is the same for the rack-mounted as for the pedestal HP
NetServer once you gain access to the system board assembly.
1. Unpack the processor shipping box and check the contents against its
