1 HP NetServer LH 6000/6000r Processor Upgrade Introduction The HP NetServer LH 6000/6000r supports up to six processor modules and the accompanying voltage regulation modules (VRMs) on the system board assembly. Processor modules are available at different clock speeds, but in a multi-processor configuration, all processors must operate at the same speed.
Chapter 1 HP NetServer LH 6000/6000r Processor Upgrade Upgrade Overview To upgrade a processor, or processors in the HP NetServer LH6000/6000r, you will follow these basic steps: Shut down the NOS and the HP NetServer. Remove the required covers and cables (AC and I/O). Remove the system board and processor cage covers.
Chapter 1 HP NetServer LH 6000/6000r Processor Upgrade Processor Installation Do not set the processor speed switches to a different speed from the one labeled on the processor, as this can result in unreliable or intermittent performance, and data integrity may also be at risk. System Preparation The installation procedure is the same for the rack-mount and the pedestal NetServer once you gain access to the system board assembly.

2 HP NetServer LT 6000r Processor Upgrade Introduction The HP NetServer supports LT 6000r up to six processor modules and the accompanying voltage regulation modules (VRMs) on the system board assembly. Processor modules are available at different clock speeds, but in a multi-processor configuration, all processors must operate at the same speed.
Chapter 2 HP NetServer LT 6000r Processor Upgrade Tools Required The following tools are required to remove and replace processor modules and there respective VRM. An antistatic service kit (3M 8501/8502/8503 or equivalent). This kit includes a static-dissipating work surface, a chassis clip lead, and a wrist strap.
Chapter 2 HP NetServer LT 6000r Processor Upgrade Use only processor module upgrade kits with the same HP product number. This ensures the processor type, thermal heat sink, clock speed, and cache size will match, and all processor module clock speeds are compatible.
