Insert the heatsink and close the processor cage. Closing the processor cage aligns the heatsink.
CAUTION: Removal of the processor or heatsink renders the thermal layer between the processor and
heatsink useless. A new heatsink must be ordered and installed before reinstalling the processor.
Memory option
Each processor has a bank consisting of two DIMM slots. The server blade supports up to 8 GB of
memory.
CAUTION: Use only HP DIMMs. DIMMs from other sources may adversely affect data integrity.
Observe the following DIMM installation guidelines:
• All DIMMs must be the same type. Supported DIMMs include PC3200 DDR 400-MHz SDRAM
DIMMs and PC2700 DDR 333-MHz SDRAM DIMMs.
• Both DIMM slots in a bank must be populated.
• Both DIMMs in a bank must be identical.
• DIMM bank A must always be populated.
• DIMM bank B is only active when processor socket 2 is populated.
• For best performance, each processor should have a populated memory bank.
To install the component:
1. Power down the server blade (on page 12).
2. Remove the server blade (on page 13).
