HP ProLiant BL280c G6 Server-Blade - Manual (Page 23)

Hardware options installation 23
CAUTION: To prevent possible server blade malfunction and damage to the equipment,
multiprocessor configurations must contain processors with the same part number.
CAUTION: To prevent possible server blade overheating, always populate processor socket 2
with a processor and a heatsink or a processor socket cover and a heatsink blank.
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: When installing the heatsink, align the guide pins on the processor retention
bracket with the alignment holes in the heatsink.
IMPORTANT: Processor socket 1 must always be populated. If processor socket 1 is empty, the
server blade does not power up.
IMPORTANT: When installing a processor with a faster speed or adding an additional
processor, update the system ROM before installing the processor.
To install the component:
1. Update the system ROM.
Locate and download the latest ROM version from the HP website (
http://www.hp.com/support ).
Follow the instructions on the website to update the system ROM.
2. Power down the server blade (on page 11 ).
3. Remove the server blade (on page 12 ).
4. Remove the access panel (on page 13 ).
5. If installed, disconnect the hard drive power and data cables from the system board (" Hard drive
connector identification " on page 9 ).
6. Remove the air baffle.
CAUTION: Failure to completely open the processor locking lever prevents the processor from
seating during installation, leading to hardware damage.
