l
Remove the required covers and cables (AC and I/O).
Remove the system board and processor cage covers.
Remove the terminator (if you are adding an additional processor).
or
Remove the existing processor module and VRM (if you are replacing a
processor).
Install the new processor module.
Install a VRM.
Set the configuration switch settings, if necessary.
Complete the hardware installation.
Update the BIOS and if necessary reinstall your network operating system.

Configuration Guidelines

l
Use only processor upgrade kits with the same HP product number. This
ensures the processor type, thermal heat sink, clock speed, and cache size,
and processor stepping are compatible.
l
Install processors in consecutive order; that is, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.
l
Ensure the VRM is installed in the proper slot with the respective
processor module associated with it. For example, the processor module in
slot 2 must have a VRM installed in VRM slot 2.
CAUTION Ensure the processor module remains sealed in the antistatic
bag until you are ready to install it.
Before you remove a processor from the antistatic bag, touch a
grounded, unpainted metal surface on the HP NetServer to
discharge static electricity.
