6 Installing an Additional Processor
Introduction
Each processor is packaged in a Slot M pin array cartridge. Depending on the
configuration, your system has two to four processors. Each processor is powered
by a 48V power pod, located adjacent to the processor on the processor board.
Attached to the top of each processor is a heat sink that dissipates thermal energy.
CPU thermal dummies must be installed where a processor is absent to properly
direct cooling airflow.
Tools Required
The following tools are required to access and install or remove the processors:
•
Phillips screwdriver (cross-head with #2 bit)
•
Jumper removal tool or needle-nosed pliers
•
An anti-static service kit (3M 8501/8502/8503 or equivalent). This kit
includes a static-dissipating work surface, a chassis clip lead, and a wrist
strap.

Processor Configuration Guidelines
The HP Server supports a variety of processor speeds with an FSB (front side bus)
speed of 133 MHz. The HP Server supports processor speeds of 733 MHz and
800 MHz.
CAUTION
Do not open the new processor's protective bag or remove it
from the bag until you are ready to install it.
Before you remove a processor from the anti-static container,
touch a grounded, unpainted metal surface on the HP Server
to discharge static electricity.
•
Both processors must be the same processor type and have the same
product number, which insures the same clock speed, cache size, and FSB
speed.
