Upgrading a Processor

CAUTION: To be sure that the system ROM recognizes the new processor you are
installing, update the ROM if necessary. For the most recent ROMpaq, refer to the
website:
www.hp.com/servers/proliant/manage
Failure to flash your ROM before installing processors can cause system failure.
CAUTION: Processor socket 1 and PPM slot 1 must always be populated. Failure to
populate processor socket 1 and PPM slot 1 prevents the system from operating.
IMPORTANT: Install a PPM for each processor in the system. When installing a new
processor, you must also install a new PPM.
IMPORTANT: If processors of differing speeds are installed, each processor matches the
rated speed of the slowest processor. For optimal performance, upgrade all processors at the
same time, rather than mixing processor speeds.
IMPORTANT: The servers ship with green-colored processor/heatsink assemblies. To be
sure that you install a processor compatible with the server, only install processors with
green-colored heatsinks.
