WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the
internal system components to cool before touching them.

To prevent damage to electrical components, properly ground the server before
beginning any installation procedure. Improper grounding can cause electrostatic discharge.
Processor option
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the
internal system components to cool before touching them.
CAUTION:
To prevent possible node malfunction and damage to the equipment, multiprocessor
configurations must contain processors with the same part number.
CAUTION:
To avoid damage to the processor and system board, only authorized personnel
should attempt to replace or install the processor in this node.
CAUTION:
The heatsink thermal interface media is not reusable and must be replaced if the
heatsink is removed from the processor after it has been installed.
IMPORTANT:
Processor socket 1 must be populated at all times or the node does not function.
In a multiprocessor configuration, to optimize system performance, HP recommends balancing the total
capacity of the DIMMs across the processors.
