Installing the Processors
This section provides information about installing processors. The processors are located on the system board,
accessible by removing the top metal cover.
CAUTION Failure to properly complete the steps in this procedure will result in erratic server behavior or
server failure. For assistance with this procedure contact your local HP Authorized Service
Provider.
Observe all ESD safety precautions before attempting this procedure. Failure to follow ESD
safety precautions might result in damage to the server.
The server supports either one or two processors. The CPU 0 socket is located to the right of the system board
(closer to the server chassis) and the CPU 1 socket is located on the left of the system board near the memory
DIMMs. In a single CPU configuration, install the single processor in the CPU 0 socket. The load order is
CPU 0, then CPU 1.
